Mac Jones is looking like the best rookie QB right now

Goes to show you never can tell. I wasn't sold on Mac either but said I wouldn't be shocked if he made fools out of some ppl though. My fear is the Panthers looking at the qb class of 2021 and saying no thanks we'll go with Sam Darnold could be a bad dream that lasts for quite awhile. These are decisions that have ramifications for more than just one or two seasons.

Mac Jones would be terrible on this team. He’s on a well coached team with a decent offensive line. The Panthers have none of the things a young QB needs to succeed.

If we had drafted a qb things would look probably very different ideally you would sit him while we build the oline and bring in someone better than PJ Walker and Will Grier to hold it down until he's ready. But no matter which way you want to go down the rabbit hole of what if scenarios the plan of going all in on Sam Darnold was fugged from the beginning we should all be able to agree on that.

Sad thing is they could have done both even with Darnold on the roster. Start Darnold until he sucks, then play the rookie. Next week would be the time to roll out a 1st round rookie after prepping him all off-season. But here we are with NO OTHER OPTIONS. How STUPID do they have to be to think that rolling with a Jets reject QB as your only option was a recipe for success?

This is me eating my crow. You were right on Darnold. I was wrong.

Regardless of that, the front office has to a.) Give up whatever it takes to get a top QB in the draft this year. And B) put every single dollar of capspace into an OL that can protect said drafted QB.

That is all, let me have it.

I’m with you Jaxel.  Espe after the first couple games. I was like “ see he just needed new team and coaching. 
 

Man was I wrong. The issue is not only do we need a QB but also need an OL. 
 

I said it 2 years ago when ther was the dearest OL class in years. And we ended up drafting 7 defensive players.  Now we are paying for it.

Hurney was ready to go up a spot or two for Justin Herbert.

He was told, nah we good. Rhule took responsibility for that.

Justin Fields was passed over. Rhule said nah, we good.

We ain't good. We're horrible.

Marty was good at one thing. Knowing what to do in the first round.   That’s basically the only thing he should of ever been tasked with.

He also wanted us to draft Justin Fields who looks awful, so we’ll call it a wash.

Give the rookie some time. Regardless, he is a rookie while we have a vet who is making bad decisions and having mechanics issues in his forth year.

I'd still take Fields over a lackluster veteran. At least there's an upside.

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
