Oh, the drop off is pretty drastic but I agree that Chuba is starter quality. CMC is arguably the best all around RB in the NFL but it sure seems like he's becoming injury prone.

I don't think he's injury prone. I think he may know more about pro football than any of us here (growing up with his dad in the NFL and all) and he can tell bad coaching and a bad team as well as anyone.

I think he's making some business decisions, again, to ride out this season on IR as much as possible and hope for something to change. Stay at home with the girlfriend, do some modest workouts and rehab, cash checks and not throw your health away for inept coaching? Seems like a smart, Stanford-educated idea right there. 

I mean, why Barry Sanders it?

Same thing for Thompson in my opinion. And I can't blame him, either.

Our WRs have been playing as bad as Darnald. Moore is the only one that can catch passes that are thrown directly at them. Passing lanes are not always going to be perfect. Especially with our line but if it hits your hands you should catch it. 

The WR's are much less of a problem that our bottom of the NFL QB play(and bottom 5 OL play).

They are largely mirroring the poo around them.

You can't fake a hamstring tear - they'll MRI it and monitor it constantly.

I really think Chuba is good enough to start in this league and do very well. The drop off from McCaffrey really isn't all that drastic. Most of the problem is that Chuba is open on the check down but Darnold would rather throw a pick down field. 

And when he does check it down it's an inaccurate ball where our receivers have to do a pirouette just to get their hands on the ball and the result is no YAC at all.

Nope, not accusing him of faking it. I would say he's smartly taking his time on getting back and getting fully healthy again. 

This coaching/management regime isn't going to inspire anyone to Jack Youngblood it and play in the Super Bowl with a broken leg, yanno?

As a RB yes, as a receiver out of the backfield the drop is pretty large.

I can't wait for the "PJ Walker Is An NFL Starter" after we lose 27-0 and he goes 11-34 for 127 yards and 2 INT

I'd rather lose next week with PJ than with Sam.  Everything is last season on repeat....much only worse.  Last season got to the point, I preferred to lose with PJ than Teddy.

It guarantees the staff has to move on from the starter.  Teddy then.  Sam now.  The PJ mantra has never been about PJ being the starter.  Just displacing the pointless QB the team insisted on riding with and forcing the front office's hand going into the next year.

      Report: Panthers great Luke Kuechly being eyed for big TV job

      By nogoodbum · Posted

      Don't take this personal, but anyone who watches pregame or game broadcast on any of the four major networks & can't point out a dozen "experts" that Luke would do a better job than, is just not paying attention. IMO

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By lumbeecheraw75 · Posted

      overall agree on the draft grade as a whole on on each pick, but every time I read (and I have read it more than once) that we "gave up two firsts" for Bryce, I am confused. We gave up the 2024 first, but we swapped 2023 firsts, so we didn't give up anything there. We did give up our former first rounder in DJ, but I don't think thats what you mean as one of the "firsts" we gave up.

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By Steves89 · Posted

      Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
