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.

We know his reputation. We can make fun of him all we want but still have to beat him. Jokes on us if we lose to that

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.

Alright from the highlights the Packers have no pass rush and slow on D overall. Rodgers mailing it in/over it. Saints still look good but Winston had like 3+ seconds to throw. Maybe the lasik surgery helped Winston out but too early to determine

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.

pass rush better be on point again or jameis will carve us up.

Well I think part of the Saints big win was fools gold. 5 tds passing and 150yds does not happen much at all.

Don't let them run for 170 and turn it over in your own end multiple times and you will see bad Jameis.

Ultimately depends on the type of game we get. If it's a traditional high scoring affair, offense has to play a lot better than they did today. I like our chances better in a defensive slog.

[Rocky Davis]

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.
