How'd that work out last season?

What Bridgewater does isn't "protecting the ball". I could get behind that.

Playing scared? Not so much.

What great defense did Bridgewater play with last season.  Defense was dead last on 3rd downs with getting off the field.  This year we either ranked #1 or at the very tops in the league, defense is getting the ball back to the offense, and we're not doing much with it. 

Much risk, very little reward so far.

Both teams are 3-2 at the same point of the season.  With two different ranked defenses.

As was discussed numerous times late last season, defense did enough in several games to give us an opportunity to put it away. Several games in a row, we were saying "here's another chance for a game-winning drive".

Teddy couldn't do it.

And so far neither has Sam. Thankfully he has a much better defense and hasn't needed any "game winning drives" except for yesterday of his own doing with the turnovers. 

I'm Panthers fan first and foremost so I want Donald to succeed, but I also call a spade a spade. And moving on from Teddy to bring Donald here was a lateral move at best and we traded away draft picks to do it.

Definitely don't agree.

I don't know what Darnold will be yet, but I don't doubt that he's better than Bridgewater.  I think some folks are letting current issues alter their memory of just how bad Bridgewater was.

One game and everyone ready to send him to the guillotine. How about let’s see how the season goes before we pass judgement?

I think since we are having Jets-like OL play, we are seeing Jets-like Sam Darnold.

His ceiling is probably lower than we want but it's hard to get super upset at him when we knew he was a streaky player and didn't play well under pressure but we assembled a bottom 5 OL unit in front of him.

Bottom five??....how about the bottom of the bottom. I am convinced that many college Olines are better then what they put on the field. Fuggin inept staff knew exactly what Sam had been through previosly. 

They put him in exactly the same scenerio that he had failed in.

I stand by it. Investing in a project then abandoning ship at the first bad performance is just stupid. Same sort of week-to-week tunnel vision that had yall trying to dump Cam for Kyle Allen.

If Sam Darnold is the hill you're willing to die on, even after watching his last months worth of performances, then so be it, I suppose.

      Houston Texans... You Suck!!!

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      No, the casual fan gets sucked into THIS^^^ kind of thinking, and it's so woefully incorrect that it's almost sad. The first is what I've said numerous times, NOTHING about non guaranteed contracts save the billionaire owners a single penny, because they still have to spend their cap floor, and the only reason teams ever don't spend the full limit, is to then roll it over into the next season to be able to spend more that year. But in the end, owners pay the same amount of money no matter what. The reverse is also the same, that the players in totality make the same amount of money as well, because in your example of Clowney not getting that money this year, it will go to another player, as the cap needs to be spent. And you say how we just cut Clowney after we gave him the 2 year contract, but everyone including Clowney's agent and himself, knew when it was signed, that it was more likely to be a 1 year contract than a 2 with how it was structured.  The 2nd year was just to be able to spread out the cap hit and he was always most likely going to end up getting traded or cut. It's why agents and players don't care about the total money in a contract, it's always and only been about the guaranteed money, as the years and overall value are meaningless, always have been, always will be.

      Agents will have their 1st round picks hold out until the pay structure of their contract is to their liking, not how much money they'll get or even how much is guaranteed, just the when/how they will get the money over the course of the contract. If they're willing to recommend those players hold our, do you really think they won't do it for 2nd rounders to guarantee them an extra 10% of their entire rookie contract?
