They saw a Strong arm, mobile, and young. Unfortunately rhule has shitt for brains so he couldn’t tell Darnold also has shitt for brains

Agree but reality is we didn't know if Darnold still being younger then Burrows was poo for brains or The Jets organization and Gase coaching was the problem.. And we still truly don't know...

Remember when they were scared to play him in the preseason? I think it was obvious that he sucked then. Too late.

Yea, it was obvious they saw in camp that whatever they were trying to get him to learn or understand just wasn’t happening. They saw this and tried to protect him or hide him.

Now I disagree..

I think they knew the Oline was a major problem and knew this would be a result earlier if he got hit like this consistently in the preseason..

I think that they were praying for a healthy CMC covering for the Oline and gelling together with more reps and time would make them better....

They said early they Hopefully be treating Sam like a rookie and he could game manager for most of the season... Cmac injury, Oline horribleness and now WR dropping everything threw that out the window...

He's hated Cam Newton for no reason for years. He should have been off the air a long time ago. He's only still there to appeal to other shitty people stuck in a bygone era just like himself.

Everything they said Cam is and was is what Darnold is. He’s not very accurate, and he doesn’t process what he sees on the field. Now, I’m not one of those people who want Cam back, because I think he’s about done, but Cam is and was the best QB this franchise has ever had. He was a franchise QB for us.

Rhule likes projects and they saw a project in Sam. He probably thought he and the staff could correct his flaws and we would have Tepper’s dream franchise qb 

Not so sure how many more chances Rhule will get before Tepper decides to move on.

I agree.. Most Coaches worth there salt think they can fix players.. Payton is proving that with Jameis..

Well, he’s 0-2 in picking QBs. It’s usually 3 strikes and you’re out, so I imagine he’ll get one more shot. For his sake, he better realize the mistake he made in Darnold quickly and pick better when it comes to selecting another QB. 
 

When Watson and Stafford fell through, he should’ve probably went apologizing to Teddy and tried to make it work. Draft Fields or Jones, and used Teddy for the stopgap he was

    • He has rarely been aggressive enough to be considered a gunslinger type player. The guy he is describing is Pat Mahomes-esque and I doubt any of us see that in Bryce.  When the play is breaking down or he bails on the play, how often are we really seeing him laser it into a tight window? How about scramble long enough to get someone breaking free and then hitting them? I remember that far less, although I am not sitting down to look at all 2.5 years of data, than I am checkdowns, throw aways, off target passes, scrambles, etc. 
    • Wow this is some crazy nonsense. First, he doesn't have problems picking up the ball on quick slants or screens, go back and watch the replays, you can clearly see him start to turn his head on those drops before the ball is in his hands, it's a concentration issue, not an issue of picking up the ball. Yes, it's 100% something he has to improve upon and it's still a knock on him, but you're making up a problem that isn't there, when the real problem that is there is a very correctable one and also one that is rather common for a player 6 games into his career and trying to do too much. After that, I genuinely don't understand what your point is in bringing up where he ranks in YPC, as if that's some indicator of his abilities.  Which, to begin with, he's not 31st, he's 26th (and that's before even factoring in the players above him with just a handful of catches, like Horn Jr with his 4 catches).  Then below him in that YPC ranks are guys like Chase, CeeDee, London, Tyreek, Waddle, Higgins, BTJ, Wilson etc, so I'm not sure what pointing out his ranking has anything to do with what kind of player he is or might become.  All of that before even looking how close he is to being much higher on the list because they're all so close together, he's 27 yards across 6 games shy from being in the Top 15. If you want to pick and choose stats, why not look at things like being 3rd in the NFL in catches of 20+ yards or 6th in the NFL in 1st down catches? And finally, no, just no.  He doesn't look far less pro ready than Egbuka, he's just in a significantly worse situation if you're just looking for a big statistical output.  Egbuka is playing with the current front runner for MVP, in a pass happy offense, where all their other pass catchers keep getting hurt, so of course he's going to be putting up big stats.  Swap those players and T-Mac might be leading the NFL in yards right now, not to mention would have just as many TD's as Egbuka does as well.
    • How about if you don't like my choice of content, then don't click on the thread? We're discussing the NFL, not Pee-wee football. Until we start having "great" games on a continuous basis, I'm going to continue to talk all facets of the team. Moreover, I haven't seen X have a "great" game yet. Just like I supported patience last season, I have become critical this season. If it hurts your feelings, it just hurts your feelings. I've been on this board longer than most of you, and I've been a fan of the Panthers since before they stepped on the field, so don't tell me how to fan.
