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.

    • Aggressive runner, hits the hole fast, and runs angry.  Just a few yards shy of the single game record for the team.  Absolutely phenomenal performance.  If the gameplan hadn't become weirdly pass heavy for the 3rd and first half of the 4th quarters he might have been flirting with 300.
    • I felt that way before the season started, but I'm sorry, he's already proven he isn't that guy, I don't need to learn anything more about him. He threw the ball 30 times today and could only throw for 198 yards, which was his 2nd best yardage game this year, he's just not the guy. Which means this season has already moved onto the 2nd most important thing going into this season after evaluating Bryce, and that's developing our best young players. You don't do that by only throwing 8 of your 30 passes to your best player who is still only a rookie.  Pepper him with targets and help develop him so he's ready to take a huge leap next year when we get a real HC and QB to get him the ball.
    • Every win comes from a non-sustainable source.  As CRA mentioned, Penix absolutely imploding against ATL, and then today, defense finally clicked and looked the best they’ve looked in a long time (and still have up 24 points lol) and Rico ran for 200+ yards.  We’re not going to get that every week, especially against good teams, which neither Miami or ATL are.  Both MIA and ATL are bad teams and Bryce still couldn’t get it together.  The defense (and team) had to overcome 14 points because of his turnovers again.  That was not even an average QB performance.  We are winning in spite of him.
