Darnold vs Mayfield comparison

Point is, they adjusted. They all stepped up. Royce did well. Chuba did great and got more reliable as a receiver and runner. Sammy spread the ball and had a great 2nd half...without his "crutch". Brady adapted. 

No reason to think they won't, with a few extra days, be able to roll into Dallas and roll out having conquered Texas.

Meh…even if he was kinda complimentary of Sam in a roundabout way, he still constantly felt the need to qualify it with “I’m not saying he’s great” and “he’s no Andrew Luck” (seriously? We’re still making Andrew Luck comparisons?). Definitely came across as more anti-Baker than pro-Sam. And the “only bottom-10 pass blocking o-line with a winning record” would be a pretty damn compelling stat if it wasn’t Week 3. 

Believe me, his vitriol against Mayfield is so great, he’s had to temper his comments.  He absolutely believes Sam will be great, he’s a self professed “USC homer”, (even though he makes us cringe) had access to the FB program, coaches, players and practices….he loves Sam as a player and person, because he is polar opposite of the “La La land celebrity” QB.

A victory in Dallas would go a LOOOOONG way toward seeing what the Panthers REALLY HAVE with Sam.

The Texans game showed that he's got BALLS.

This is the guy whose been ridiculing Cam since he was a rookie and making excuses for Darnold since he was rookie.

 

Also Baker>>>>>>Sam. Anyone who knows anything about football all will tell you that.  

Pretty much this. Mayfield has improved every year and is coming off a strong season. 

Sam is playing better than his last seasons in NY. I don't understand why folks can't stick with that instead of trying to relitigate their pre draft predictions from 4 years ago.

Sam is averaging nearly 300 yds per game with the 31st ranked passing O-Line? That in itself should put you on the Darnold bandwagon regardless of how we finish the season.

If we somehow improve the O-line through the season and focus on O-line in the 2022 draft we could really have a well rounded team with Darnold at the helm.

    • I know it's only been training camp and one preseason game, but I think T-Mac has already shown his floor to be exactly what I said about him in the pre-draft process. That his floor if he never improves his game, is as one of the best #2 WRs in the NFL, if not even still a low end #1 (i.e. a 25th-ish best WR in the league). I think it's safe to say he's already established himself as our #1, and there are only a small handful of teams in the league where I don't think he'd be their starting #2 WR in Week 1. Bengals (Higgins), Dolphins (Waddle), Eagles (Smith), Bucs (Godwin if healthy), Rams (Adams) are really the only teams where I think he'd be the #3 as a rookie in Week 1.  A few others like the Lions (Williams), Bears (Odunze), Seahawks (Kupp), Commanders (Deebo), where he'd be the 2b to start the season, just because they're vets and/or already have a year or two of experience with their team/QB. And even having said that, I think by year 2, he's better than every one of those players (And no, I'm not saying he's already going to be better than a prime version of Adams, just whatever he'll be at 33 next year), and same goes for Kupp, but that's more because it seems like his body might be quitting on him in a way that hasn't happened to Adams (yet).
    • Well to be fair, Horn not practicing right now to let his stitches heal up from a car accident isn't something that should be concerning.  Sure, you don't want him missing practice leading into the season, but it's one that once healed, won't have lingering affects or fear of re-injuring it, it was just bad luck.
    • Quality backups are absolutely important. This franchise has been plagued with depth problems. That said, there is a little bit of dismay that Mays can't beat out a 1-legged man, and all the talk going into the off-season was how BC would certainly be gone since he had position versatility.  In the end, it doesn't matter too awfully much, as I would be shocked to no end if Corbett makes it through the season. We know what we have in reserve, and that should surely be better than trying to sign random fat guys mid season to try and take over.
