It's what it sounds like...them being in the AFC is a huge thing here too though. I think Watson is the one who really wants Miami but the Texans would be idiots to keep him in the AFC...HOU not ever known to be smart though.

That's my guess. Watson wants Miami but Houston don't want him going there (and I don't blame them).

"Look how many plays we showed where it's 4 defenders around people"

 

a lof of them stems from Darnold not being able to handle progressions and reads quickly.  And the windows come and go on the routes.   He largely is a one read QB who implodes after that.  And even when throws are there he has always had a hestiation about pulling the trigger when it should be pulled.  He is late with it.  Leads to bad throws and better coverage finding guys.

I think we all can agree Joe Brady is in over his head and on the outside looking in. But as a fourth year pro you can't make that throw with four or five defenders around and expect to keep your job.

Darnold is going to be the starter simply based on our QB room. It's a sad QB room that needs dramatic improvement.

Who knows if Brady will be here next year based on any of the main reasons being him going to be a HC or less probably the Panthers move on. A lot of poo works in college when the WR is so much better he has 5 yards of separation regardless of if they knew they play or not. Still too early to tell if Brady is actually a scrub but it's not looking good.

Nope. like they showed its even when the plays work or are on time. Oh you'd have to see it live its not on that video there.

reports have always been Miami is the only team he gave the greenlight on.  He said no to Philly.  We proabably are just chump leverage and just being used to manipulate the Miami deal.

Hope that is the case.

Yeah sounds like he would turn trade down to come here.

I'm not sure he would turn a trade down, he wants out.  He wants to be able to pick his team, and he has the right to but also Texans have the right to accept a trade deal so really, Texans still hold the leverage, they can just tell Miami no, we don't want him playing in the conference and then if he wants out bad enough he will have to take what is available

Oh also I'm not saying that darnold isn't late or the timing is fuged based on a number of reasons but they are all over us in all situations really.

    • 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.
