I think I'm ready for PJ

Sam is better than Pickles any day. The problem is that most starting NFL QBs are better than Sam, and that includes Cousins. Most of the teams we'll play this season, excluding rookie QBs, have better QBs. Teddy is better than Sam, so we downgraded to Sam.

I want a much better QB than Sam, and that means we need Watson. Drafting a rookie QB means two more losing seasons. Staying with Sam means we'll never be better than middle of the pack, and often we'll worse.

and I always thought making Sam the plan was predictably dumb.  Had no problem adding him to the roster though.  But he isn’t going to be good.   He isn’t a starting QB.  His flaws showed before NY and now after.  He is what he is. 
 

that said, he is better than Jimmy Clausen.  Not even close.

having time to throw and no one to throw to doesnt really help.  The wr ran lazy routes, didnt get open.  The Viking corners ran better routes than the wr did.

I can't agree with the receivers route running.  Yes the OL is really bad, but they Brady isn't calling anything to challenge the defense.  Those route combos and concepts are elementary at best.

Even look at what the Vikings started doing with Osborn as the game went on.  They weren't getting any production one on one against Taylor, so they started lining them up in trips and doubles and then ran drags across the field where Taylor had to run through traffic and couldn't man his guy up, so he ends up chasing the play.

We do nothing like that, and when we do, Sam doesn't believe what he's seeing and either elects to run or holds the ball until he's sacked.  The playcalling is abysmal and Brady is feeding into Darnold's weaknesses with it, but as I stated, Darnold is bad even when he has time.  That last drive was a bit of luck and an aberration because he isn't willing to take those shots until he is forced to.

I've given Sam the benefit of the doubt but he is now as bad as Clausen was.

 

I think I'm ready to see if PJ can at least make this offense look semi competent.

 

This is a really bad take. PJ blows mountain goat. He wouldn’t even be on a roster if it weren’t for his painfully obvious connection to the head coach. 
 

surprised in you Igo. Father Time always wins I guess.

I was against the trade compensation. We gave up way too much for Darnold out of desperation while bidding against ourselves.

This was my take as well in rewatching that play. Lazy routes with lazy scramble drill comebacks.

      The Panthers have an effort problem

      By CPcavedweller · Posted

      To me, this seems like they feel they aren't going to be competitive. I can't help but go back to Bryce. Good guy, but he doesn't inspire people to give it their all. He isn't a "leader" that people look to. There is no Smith, Delhomme, Kuechly, Cam, etc. coming in that door.  It has to be Bryce, but biologically speaking, how often is the shortest man in the room going to command the kind of respect that will drive people? It just isn't. That isn't how we are wired. That isn't how any living animal on Earth today is wired.  I just follow the science guys.

      Vick's issue with Reid was that he couldn't take a hit, and he wouldn't go down. Otherwise he was pretty good much of the time.  Mahomes has a system that works. Mahomes doesn't become Mahomes elsewhere because not everyone can extract 125% of the ability of a specific player like Reid can. Kevin O'Connell is beginning to look like he has that ability as well but I'll need to see how he does with his Redshirt Freshman.  I also wonder how much of their playoff issue last year was related to the offense as a whole and not just Darnold. Fans don't really dive into the "why" things happen, they just see the what and complain about it.
