Breaking from Sheena Quick: We passed on Justin Fields and began the trade for Darnold post Ohio St pro day

OK, good luck in your lottery then.

I've live in the Atlanta are since 1999 and have observed first hand how that lottery turns into results.

You want a Jerry Jones/Al Davis type. Ironically enough, the Cowboys are starting to find success again now that Jerry Jones has finally stopped back somewhat and let his football people drive the football decisions.

I don't doubt that Tepper will soon strongly urge Fitts and Rhule to make a bold move at QB if Darnold does indeed ultimately fail, but I do think he'll leave the final decision up to them on who they target.

No, what I'm saying is that you seem to be demanding an Arthur Blank type.

And honestly?  You want me to choose between Jerry/Al and Arthur? OK.

Then give me fugging Jerry/Al, cuz at least they've won the big one in their past instead of the "pretend feelings OMG WOKISM!" of the Arthur Blank leadership.

The billionaire ownership of the franchise doesn't seem to consider the quality of the starting QB position as being very important so far.

I mean, that's been made very clear for those paying attention and not hating over the last couple of years.

I don’t know. Theses last two QBs seem to be 100 percent Rhule. Tepper seems to really want a franchise QB but he keeps defaulting to Rhules decisions. 
Rhule seems to not see much value in a franchise QB and maybe that is because he is a college coach.

No, I want a good manager. Good managers hire good people and then get out of their way offering input when needed but refusing to micromanage.

Which makes me very worried because if Darnold ultimately doesn’t work out what does that say about a coaching staff that has failed twice.

And this is my point.

You're getting Arthur-Blank-ism WITH EVEN LESS EXPERIENCE IN THE NFL THAN ARTHUR BLANK.

So, yeah, as I keep repeating, good luck with that.

What exactly is your point? Because honestly it kinda just seems like incoherent yelling about Arthur Blank.

OK, brother.

Sorry to confuse you with actual arguments;

S'ok, please enjoy the performance of your actual NFL team.  My apologies in requesting that you actually think.

I'm just asking for clarification on your stance because it's not at all clear. You're just telling about Arthur Blank and seemingly wanting Tepper to morph into Al Davis. What am I missing here?

    • Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.
    • Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly. 
    • Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
