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.

    • It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed. 
    • I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
    • 7 wins this year and some of those against really good teams and yall think Canales might get fired? Lol Good luck getting a better coach in here if that happens.
