So this was or wasn’t a hospital ball by Darnold?

Why were we running him so much though? Even with the sneaks too. Do you honestly think it had nothing at all to do with the struggles of our passing game the week before against the Giants that Sam directly contributed to?

I think it just as much if not has more to do with the fact that the offensive line actually looks almost competent when run blocking.  Unfortunately the same cant be said for pass blocking.   I do think they should have went for a deep ball on one or two of those 2nd and 1 qb sneaks and that is another reason our offense and Darnold is struggling.  Our offense is predictable.   The coaching staff has no idea how to run a balanced offense to try to catch the opponent off guard or confuse them.

Yeah, your probably right. We should just let him walk and be stuck with Robbie... 🙄

not at all what I said. DJ could be playing better if he wanted to. he also has had this motivation issue in the past quite a bit if you’ve paid attention to his career.

doesn’t mean he isn’t good, just means he could be better, and that says a lot since he is already damn good.

i’d consider that paying him a huge contract is all, the panthers are absolute suckers for players who fall off a cliff after payday

which bring me to Robbie…what a really fuging stupid idea to sign him to what they did, I’d rather have DJ for sure

....According to Brady.... and we didn't even get the defenseless receiver penalty... absolutely an ambulance ball...

 

 

Brady is the GOAT qb and he has valid points about protecting yourself and the receivers, but let's not BS ourselves. He is the most protected QB in the league by the league and it ain't even close.

Ok sorry for misunderstanding. 

I get what you are saying. DJ and Robbie both look to be playing very uninspired. I just know that this summer or next we WILL get a QB and we have to have guys for him.

That said, if we are not getting a QB this year then I would do what the Pats did. Spend the money on all the other positions and try to drop a QB in later - they just lucked into one this year.

It wasn't a hospital ball. It could have been if it were thrown higher and the receiver would have gone up exposing his body. Anderson caught it and had time to at least anticipate the hit. Let's be real here. I am surprised with Andersons physical makeup that he doesn't get hurt more. He is really slight. He is listed a 6'3" and 190 lbs. That is beanpole size.

The same guy who's the reason Gronkowski will be in a wheelchair by the time he's 50. 

Gronk IMO is very similar to Cam.  One of the most unique physical mismatches the league has had to deal with....and opponents went about trying to destroy them as that was an easier option than actually defending them.

      With the first pick, don't draft a QB? Draft a DE? C'mon!

      Oh good lord Interest doesn't mean interest in making a bad trade to take the player, that's why I had such a long post, to accurately describe why those are two different things, but you don't like to listen to that stuff.  Being interested in a player doesn't live in a vacuum. It's very simple... there isn't a #1 draft pick type of grade on any of these QB's, if there was, we'd just take them.  You can't bluff a pick everyone knows you won't make, and trying to trade the pick is the CLEAR signal that you're not taking the QB. Just because the Raiders would have interest, doesn't mean they're going to bail us out of a situation we don't want to be in, they'd be smart about it and just sit put, let us take a non QB as we'd be telling the world we're not taking one just by trying to trade the pick, and then they'd take him at #2 (either with their own pick or by trading less to get that one). Oh, and your point of "if nobody is willing to make the trade, you obviously just take the best QB" is quite literally the dumbest thing I've ever read on here. If nobody is willing to trade up to take the QB, then it's OBVIOUS that the QB isn't worth taking with that pick, so OBVIOUSLY taking the best QB there is just OBVIOUSLY stupid and a bad pick. The moral of it is if there is a QB worth taking, we're taking them and not making the trade.  If there isn't a QB worth taking there, nobody is trading up to #1 to take one, we just showed the NFL how bad of an idea that is 2 years ago, it's really not hard to see. You keep making up this mythical situation where there is a QB who has shown to be worth trading up to #1 for and we'll be able to leverage that into a trade.  But we're the most QB needy team in the league, if we end up with the #1 pick, either we are taking a QB #1 or no QB is going #1 unless we get VERY lucky and two teams in the Top 5 fall in love with one prospect and we can play them off each other and fleece one of them. But again, I can't see that happening, as if there was a QB worthy of that, we're just taking him ourselves.

      Sanders is with Tom Brady brand and that's his mentor. The Raiders owner was with Sanders taking pics at a Vegas game together.   It doesn't take much to connect the dots that Vegas will be interested in Sanders as their franchise QB. Oh yeah and guess who hasa small ownership stake in the Raiders Tom Brady.   I guess this is just another made up Madden idea by me huh?

      Bro I don't mind debating you, but did you really have to write all that to get your point across.   This isn't Madden. If you have the #1 pick you literally control your own destiny. If nobody wants to trade which I have a hard time believing they won't then you obviously take the best QB.   I think we will have suitors. If that's Madden then so be it.
