He wasn't always like that wayyyy back in the day on the scout forums he was even keel.

That was a much smaller forum with a few dozen regular posters and not the constant stream of trolls and overreactionaries that a much higher traffic forum brings. A lot easier to be seen as even keel in the former environment because people aren't constantly overreacting to any and every post.

It’s a QB driven league and we had two high end prospects fall in our laps.   

you really got an issue with people thinking a team allegedly in rebuild mode should draft….a QB? 

. 

Not at all - but doing so while being unfairly critical of our starting QB in the process before the guy even takes a snap is what I have an issue with.  Darnold played better than any rookie QB who took the field today, and deserves some credit.  As a fan of this team I hope he gets better with every game and outplays Wilson, Fields, Lance etc for a decade or more.  LG is the type of guy who hopes Darnold falls on his face while others shine just say he can say I told you so.

There are a lot of posters rooting for him to fail here just so they could say "I told you so"

I agree - it’s sad really.  If they’re in a Panthers uni, I’m pulling for them to succeed.  That’s what a fan does.

Bingo I was clearly on the tank-a-thon last season but once we signed TB I had wanted to win and him to succeed right up to being playoff eliminated and even then didn't throw a fit.

I think a huge factor is going to be if the O-line gives Darnold any time and protection to make plays.  Saints defensive line isn't bad and will be gunning for Sam...

I have confidence in the defense unless we totally go zone and don't bring pressure.  We sat back a couple of times today and that's when the Jets were able to do something....bring the heat.

I know I posted there, a select few here did. JOAT, if I'm not mistaken even grumpy ickmule did.

We deal with it differently some got pessimistic others (myself) use the opportunity to poke the bear so to speak and poke holes in over emotional posts.

      to clarify I am not referring to Will Levis.  Not knowingly.   I just made that up and tried to use a reasonable guesstimate of what else was done.  That sounded in the ballpark.  At one time I did look it all up and there were several teams that had much more successful days downfield.   If that happened to be Levis' actual numbers than it's more of a lucky coincidence.  If memory serves, it wasn't just Will Levis that brought the claim into question, it was SEVERAL teams had better days.  and you are missing my entire point of the subjective nature of it all.  If PFF employee Doug watched Bryce's film and then used his same unique subjective vantage point to grade all 31 other starting QBs.  Then dumped into into a spread sheet, it would a subjective Doug take but at least it would be a level uniform subjectivity.   The grades are done by various people.  All watching and applying their own subjective view to a play.  Everyone isn't going to grade incompletions out the same.  Or completions.   So when you dump it all into a spread sheet and hit sort.....it's not actually a statement of fact as portrayed.  Which is why you sometimes get some head scratching stuff.  I'm not reframing anything.   I don't think.  I just wasn't going to look it all back up so I was talking vaguely off the general issue I have with PFF and treating any random claim they make as the truth.

      Jones got projected as the next Eli because they share a similar goofball, on the spectrum energy.  That's my theory.

      I didn't think underrated was the wildest statement. The passing and offensive command he showed in week 18 against Atlanta was as good as any QB that has ever played for this franchise.  I mean THAT part is wild.  Which plays into the overrated part.  End of regulation I don't think he even hit 200 yards passing.  I mean he had a very efficient day vs a weak defense.   As good as we have ever seen in Carolina?
