Watched the game today.  My opinion is Dallas is a good team, they played at home, and played a great game. Carolina didn't play such a great game--although it wasn't awful. They were within 1 score when the game ended. I guess I was just a little surprised at the huge holes Dallas was making in the Carolina D line. What did they rush for like 220yds?

Anyway I am not a huge NFL fan. I follow college football here in California.  USC UCLA etc. I dropped by your board to see your posts and IMO , I really feel bad for Sam Darnold.  I am not saying Sam Darnold is the next Tom Brady. Sam Darnold is a average -maybe a little bit better than average QB. That's not all that bad. Remember the Ravens won the superbowl with  Trent Dilfer in 2000.  Poor Sam.  For some reason , no matter where he goes, he is expected to overcome poor OL play, poor play calling, (when he was in NY) not having any talent around him...and the expectations are if he doesn't elevate this group of mediocre football players to the 1978 Pittsburgh Steelers level, well he is a bust.  I have never seen anyone with such hih expectations hung on them.  When the Jets or The Panthers win, well Sam did a good job but so di the WR's and Deense and so on....whenthey lsoe,  well that's because Sam is a idiot. a Bust. get rid of him.  a game manager at best.  I am not sure why everyone expects him to carry an entire crappy football team to a super bowl by himself and if he doesn't, well he is a overrated bust?

Kinda asking alot.   And you guys are treating him the same as the Jets fans did.  HIs stats today were good. Not great, but good...and what do I see? yeah but he had an INT. We lost though. He is not the answer. I just don't like him.  How many people are discussing the HORRIBLE play by the panthers defense today?  a few. But those comments are  shut down as  "excises for how bad sam darnold is."  

If you think it's so easy to go out and win a football game, have at it and give it a shot.

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      By strato · Posted

      Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.

      No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
