I thought Sam Darold would be a good QB.

I assumed his play in NY was mostly a function of the horrible Jets organization - which has been a disaster for at least the last 20 years (and maybe since Joe Namath).  A guy like Darnold with his size, talent & experience would surely thrive in a new environment at Carolina with its good coaching (!!) and surrounded by playmakers (which lasted all of 3 games).  

I was sadly proven very wrong.  I don't even view Darnold as a capable backup QB right now.  He's that awful. 

This is me 100%, no need to write it again.

I never believed in this year or the moves we made this offseason. The Darnold trade set the pace and I fugging melted down then. I'm glad I got it out of the way.

I was wrong about last year, I said we had a staff that could coach up players. That was pure fantasy. This staff is terrible outside of our D.

I didn't think our O-line would be good, but I didn't' expect this bad.  A lot of our line are the same guys as last year, short Okung who didn't play much, and we added two draft picks.

Last years O-line was a middle 1/3 unit, I was expecting the same, possible lower middle 1/3.  Between CMC being back and our quick passing style I didn't' expect us to be this bad.  

I tend to not think in rankings in terms of 1-32, impossible to really separate teams that closely.  Whether you are the 22 or 25 worst o-line you are bad.

I think more of top 1/3 (think top 10), bottom 1/3 (think bottom 10), middle 1/3 (everyone else).

I was right on a lot, so I honestly don’t know where I was majorly wrong on anything, maybe thinking we needed to draft Parsons, but I said that if we had drafted anyone on defense it should have been Parsons so that’s not wrong either…

still think Parsons would have been better than Horn overall.

Will all of Justin's little Fielders please stand up.

Ok.. I admit, I thought it was a terrible idea not to draft a QB.

You think you were wrong aboht this? Fields is still a question but you’d honestly prefer what we have now over mac Jones?

    • I felt pretty good about us making progress this season, surprising some people, and getting some more wins than last season going into it.  Now, after preseason, my expectations are much, much lower. I was talking with my friend who is a Bears fan, and we were discussing their drubbing of the Bills and how people try to dismiss it as “preseason, so it doesn’t count.”  It absolutely counts.  Not the wins or losses.  No one really cares about that.  But what the Bears are doing shows that even in a vanilla, non-specific scheme, they are executing at an elite level and they are disciplined.  It shows they are well coached.  They see growth in their players.  Versus us - hard to tell what we’re looking at because everything is a fuging mess.  In games we’re still undisciplined, be it penalties or assignments.  We do NOT execute.  We got random coaches calling plays that won’t be calling plays during the season, we have our players getting into fights in the last padded practice of the preseason, then we have Bryce and Chuba trying to correct it while our coach sat off to the side laughing.  To be clear, I like Canales.  He seems like a good dude.  But, it feels like we have very little direction and discipline.  You’re allowing a team who has been historically bad the last almost decade, with a losing culture that mostly bereft of talent to self-police?  You’re allowing subordinates to work in pet projects at the expense of getting valuable reps and evaluation of players in during games?     My friend literally brought up last night that when Ben Johnson got there he essentially put DJ Moore in notice because it was starting to be perceived that he was displaying some diva-behavior.  That’s leadership.  And they’re reaping the benefits early and setting a tone.  My friend said there is an excitement and confidence in and around their team that’s he’s never felt his entire life.  And here we are, sounding and looking like The Bad News Bears in our final week of training camp and preseason.  I literally stopped watching after halftime last week.  I used to watch every play faithfully, even in 2001 and 2010.  It was fun.  This isn’t.  We are bad and our administration keeps making bad decisions to compound things.  Reading poo like this today is just fuging deflating.
    • With so much of the focus the past couple years being on offense, the defense has definitely taken a backseat to the talent available in the draft. I get it, they want to surround their number one draft pick QB with offensive playmakers but unfortunately that has come with a price that so far has not worked Let’s hope the offense and Bryce Young put it together this year or it’s going to be another rebuild next year with another new QB. 
    • I was intrigued by him but always said it comes down to the interview process and talking to his former coaches, etc. You gotta find out if he's coachable and has the mental makeup. I think we've found the answer. LOL
