I think this is the Defense's team. Darnold has played great without everything being on him. Our defense has won games and he has been great at just playing steady and not trying to be a hero like in NY.

Not saying that if it's all on him he would revert back to that, but the plan in place has been working. Defense wins the game. Darnold doesn't turn the ball over to lose us the game. 

Although I agree with you on the most part about being a defensive team, but the qb will always be the face of the franchise and the blame or glory of wins and loses will be directly corralated to the position.  Look at all those superbowl winners and losers...Brady, Elway, Montana, Manning, McMahon, Farvre, Dilfer, Brees, Jim Kelley...Win or lose they also had great running backs, good to great oline and great defenses.  What does Panthers have?  Point is,  no matter how great the defense is, if the qb can't score or sustain drives, it's most likely, this panthers defense alone can't  win against Dallas next week or against playoff teams consistently without CMC.  So, yeah, this is Darnold's team.

Interesting fact of the game:

Referees threw the flag for more yards than Dak Prescott threw the ball..  🤭

Am I the only one starting to think that Robby isn't getting as many targets because he reminds Darnold of the Jets?

I heard that some of the deep stuff to Robby was not taken so Sam could play it safe on some of the plays.  

I think time will tell but maybe he is going for the higher percentage throws.   But they do need to get Robby more involved.

Did you miss all Robby's easy-pass drops Thursday?

      I try to keep up and project the roster with color-coded charts.  You can see priorities and gauge who has the best chance of making the roster--you can see the priorities as well.  Here, Yellow is a 2025 draft pick, green is an undrafted free agent, and orange is a free agent. The depth chart will obviously change and I am not sure about roles (positions in all cases), so that is not the real issue at this time, but yellows and oranges show how the team focused on which aspects of the defense:     In the front 5, there were 3 draft picks, 3 free agents (not including players we re-signed), and two undrafted players signed. In the back 6, there was 1 draft pick and 2 free agents (LB, S), and four undrafted free agents. The undrafted free agents are always long shots, but by identifying them, you can tell which longshots might make the roster.

      The rise of analytics in sports goes back to the use of sabermetrics in baseball.  The ironic thing is that the whole point of Bill James work was to objectively figure out each players contribution to to a team's wins throughout the season.  This is possible in baseball because each at bat is essentially a 1v1 with an objective outcome.  Applying statistical averages also works a lot better with hundreds of plate appearances over 162 games a year. PFF grades plays subjectively, and then puts them into buckets.  They then create different statistics based on those buckets.  That's all well and good and I'm not saying it's useless.  But calling it analytics like it's some kind of objective science is a far cry from what is actually going on.
