Most of us expected days like this during his development. So, let's not panic toooo much and see how he responds moving forward.

Oh yeah and let's try literally anyone else on the interior OL.

I agree.  And I also have seen Brady, Montana, Rogers,  Brees have bad games in a season, not saying Sam is that.  However, Sam was bad, so was the oline, special team and play calling at times...

Let see how we bounce back against the vikings

Yes, the OL has sucked but you can't overlook the reality that Darnold's worst play has come when he's actually had time. Pressure isn't causing the INTs. Darnold making poor reads and throwing it to defenders is causing the INTs. When he has time to actually think that's when he's at his worse.

He's seeing ghosts and rightfully so. Our interior oline is atrocious. 43% of snaps under pressure is ridiculous. When things are constantly going wrong its hard to settle down on the occasions when it does go right. Just about every other snap he knew was going to go badly. I guarantee that's in his head right now. He's playing jumpy and anxious and with damn good reason. He has to get better when he has time. He has to stop forcing the pass and staring down his receiver. He's got stuff he has to fix. 

If we don't so something with the interior of this line there is going to be no fixing that. And if we do draft a new QB and it's more of the same, we're going to ruin that QB too. It's time for some changes and Miller and Daley should be at the top of that list. I'd include Paradis but there's nobody available to replace him that isn't potentially worse or would have to be signed from another team's PS. The Patriots do have a center on theirs that looked good during preseason but that's 3 games on the active roster for a flyer.

This^ 

The oline situation has to be fixed and the game plan has to drastically improve first and foremost.  Then you can figure what you need from your signal caller.  If it's the qb then the coach has some explaining to do.

You know I totally forgot that one play makes a whole game.  

I'm trying to make sense of your stance knowing we have seven winning seasons in 25 years and I'm reminded this is the same lot that loved them some Kyle Allen so I guess this is just par for the course. Hey ya'll we're just happy to be here.

You can’t care about something like that when the line is playing this bad. Didn’t stop us with the kicking situation. You also need a backup center on game days so it’s not really taking up a roster spot.

They should literally be trying anything other than what’s been on the field so far.

He was pressured on literally 50% of his dropbacks.  You cant gauge anything about his play from that.  If he is getting pressured on literally half of his dropbacks then he is going to feel pressure and push on every drop back.  50% pressure rate and right up the middle most of the time is going to ruin any qb.

Exactly.  Darnold definitely has to play better but the biggest grade you can give him is an incomplete.   Any qb that you put back there that is getting pressured on literally 50% of their drop backs and most of those being from the interior in their face, is going to struggle.  We have no idea what we have in Darnold or any qb we plug back there until that is fixed.

Some huddlers got exactly what they wanted.

No Erving. No Elflein.  Moton at LT  BC at RT

And it resulted in 47% pressure rate and 4 pass rushers with  6+ pressures, only the second team to do so over the last four seasons.

Our best OL performance was probably the Saints game with a long pocket time and time to throw, and pressure rate much lower than the last 3 games. 

Until Moton and BC get up to speed in their new positions and until Elflein is healthy (Daley has been horrible), we are going to see what we saw yesterday.

So do we stick with Moton at LT and BC at RT?  In theory they should get better, but we are going to take a bunch of lumps in the meantime.

      Is Charlotte the worst sports city right now?

      By Seltzer · Posted

      I went to Canes games back in '04 & '05 when you were probably still a swimmer waiting to make your dad a father. There was no one there bc they sucked. Some of the lowest attendance in the NHL. As a Panthers fan coming off a SB season (03-04), I couldn't even believe they put a hockey team in Raleigh, and given the attendance, a lot of people speculated they would be relocated somewhere back up north where they would be supported and not "Mayberry." Seriously, educate youself.  That is reality. That being said, comparing that environment to 2024 Canes would be disingenuous. I was at PNC last year and know how great the current environment is. Comparing the current environment at BOA to 10 years ago is just as disingenuous.  Just bc you didn't witness how good BOA is when the Panthers are actually decent doesn't change reality. Seriously, surely you see that coming from such an elitist environment like the globally renowned world-class city of Raleigh, NC... I guarantee you if you went to a Canes game and a Panthers game in 2005, the difference would be unreal bc the Panthers were awesome and the Canes were (at the time) a moribund franchise. I have been in BOA when the whole stadium was rocking. You simply are young, don't know what you're talking about, but want to portray yourself as having knowledge about things you simply don't. You have a lot in common with modern day politicians and televangelists Like I said, Idiocracy has prevailed... Have a great day too!

      Let it all out bro.   At the end of the day Charlotte fans just aren't that passionate as other fans. The Panthers and Hornets crowds are wack.    Go to a Canes game and you will understand this. Tell the family I said hi and Happy Father's Day.

      Dude you have no idea what you're talking about. Best place to live?  LMAO... that's your criteria...  Charlotte gets put all over those lists too... come on man... and those lists have zero to do with sports. I'm done after this bc I'm punching down intellectually here... The Panthers have been bad for 6 years now. You are obviously young and not overly educated based off the "dunks" you're putting out there that certainly are, so let me educate you today on the Panthers. The Panthers sold out for well over a decade straight. BOA has been as good an environment as there is when the team is good.  Fan support for the Panthers has been incredible when the team has even remotely reciprocated. The idea that Charlotte doesn't support the Panthers is utter BS. People in Raleigh have the biggest little brother syndrome of all time... Nobody outside of the Triangle cares about any of your "vaunted" sports team outside of Duke-UNC in basketball on a national scale. Sure, the Canes are great. But nationally, the WWE dwarfs the NHL in ratings. More people care about Cody Rhodes than Sebastian Aho... or anyone else in the NHL for that matter... I doubt less than 5% of anyone in this state outside of Raleigh even knows who that is... that's a knock on Aho who is a great player, it's just the NHL barely makes a ripple in the overall hierarchy of American sports. It's not in the same universe as the NFL or NBA no matter how badly you want to tell yourself otherwise. Raleigh is not a big-time sports city, no matter how much you want to scream into the abyss about it. Neither is Charlotte. But no one here is making such a nonsense argument... LOL it's good to be young and to be ignorant enough to be confidently wrong... WTF are you even on this board though since Charlotte is so beneath you? There is an actual discussion board on this very site for Raleigh sports since they are so superior...  Maybe it's bc I'm watching Idiocracy with my son, but your timing is perfect, my man... The dumbest among us have become the most confidence in their ignorance... God Bless America!!
