rare?

Anderson was wide open, and had to slow up.

If it would have been tight coverage it probably would have been an incompletion.

A rare throw is when your WR is covered but the QB puts it in the one little spot where the WR can catch it.

Don't get me wrong, it was a nice completion, but not what I would consider a big time throw.

 

It definitely wasn't a "rare" throw. I don't have a problem with it though. He made the safe throw. Anderson was wide open. Slowing him down a little was the safe throw. Trying to hit him in stride and you risk overthrowing for no benefit.

This. Darnold missed the throw to Darnold and he missed the throw to Marshall on the out route in the endzone. He should've had three TD passes.

and that is my point, those are the types of throws that good QBs make more often than bad QBs. 

No QB makes them all of the time and no QB in the league misses them all of the time.  The good QBs do it a higher percentage of the time than the bad QBs do.  Its only one game so not fair to say which side he is on yet, but by the end of the season that is what we have to look at.

Throwing a bunch of each check downs to CMC doesn't mean you are a good QB.

Just quickly looking at game logs.

11 third downs where we attempted a pass.

6/11 completion percentage but only 3/11 on conversions.  Several throws short of the sticks.  Are we looking for a QB that we can win with if everything else goes good or a QB that can carry a team?

Teddy could have done what was done today.

Yep.

I even saw the players/coaches talking to Thomas on the sidelines immediately afterwards (granted there was no sound). I assumed they were wanting to keep his confidence up after the drop, but it could have been telling him good job/effort getting open.

I think you're the only person trying to paint that as a "drop". Sorry man. It was an awful throw and Thomas failed to come up with a complete circus catch on it.

I don’t think Teddy hits Anderson deep enough for him to run it in. That’s a stop your route and catch the underthrown ball while getting tackled throw by Teddy all day….

I mean it was a 45 yard off platform throw, but ok.

Sam has a shot at being the second or third best QB in franchise history. I was more confident going into today with him versus any point with Teddy last year. Saw nothing today to change my mind on that.

Lol 2nd or 3rd? I hope he's way better than that considering the best we ever had was average at best. A couple of them had a great year but we've never had a great QB. It would be nice if Darnold could consistently be a good one for 10 years or more. He's be our first in franchise history.

      Either way there's some tough teams on the schedule this year, on paper anyways.

      Same. I would prefer a MNF game earlier in the season. As if more likely has some significance in case things go south this season. If we perform well enough we could even get another game forced to a Sunday night spot later in the season.

      Wanted to jump into this thread. Although I do not post anymore I do look in as there are a few old friends around. Loved hearing some of the names you mentioned.  Another  oldie is NanceUSMC.  He is the one who got me here from the old Observer forum.  Good guy and smart football guy. I have learned a lot from a lot of good Huddlers over the years, Over time. we have sadly lost a few who left this earth too soon.  Anyone who know of someone, it would be nice to try to make a list.  One of the more recent, CosmoGirl,  was someone that kind of hit hard.  Life sucks sometimes. Some of the best times were when we had our own tailgate and could meet up in person.  I think it made us better. Several dedicated volunteers, lead by LiverMush, started setting things up in the wee hours of each gameday morning.  Don't know all those regulars but I remember JakeFlake was one.  For you newbies...each game,  a Huddler (or a group) sponsored the food for each tailgate.  Eating was free but a donation was asked for.  At the end of the year those donations were used to buy bicycles for Toys for Tots.  Over the years Huddlers bought a lot of new bikes for kids for Christmas.  (I am guessing a couple of hundred each year.)  We had a good time getting together, got to make friends in person, and then got to feel like you were doing something good. It was truly a community. I got to meet Dan Morgan at one of our tailgates...he brought pizza from his restaurant.  How many of you remember that?  Glad the restaurant did not make it....lol. Not only have people changed, and come and gone.....but the entire nature and purpose has changed. Nothing lasts forever and we move on but we still like to think about good times. Same reason we take pictures. Want to ask a question I have not seen anyone else mention......who remembers    "The Couch" ?  We have argued, laughed, lived the ups and downs of football and dealt with a little real life along the way.  A thanks to  the Mods who keep this going.  I am sure they sacrifice a lot of their time out of love for the forum and the Panthers. Take care my friends and be well.  I will close with my new favorite quote which I think is greatly needed in these difficult times.
