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.

      How long do you feel it takes for a head coach to turn a team around?

      Canales has his msjor issue not doing the obvious regarding running Dowdle but with an average QB we would be in the playoffs with an average QB.

      1. fug TikTak, I ain't clicking that stupid poo. 2. This is really very situationally dependent. Coaching is a huge part but sometimes you step into a scenario where a lot of building needs to happen that is largely out of your control  Recent examples(Last season's hiring cycle): 1. Ben Johnson Johnson chose the OVERWHELMINGLY best open coaching job due to a combination of solid ownership, a solid front office and the most talented roster of the open jobs from that cycle. Negatives were, insanely stacked division. Results have so far indicated that this coaching change has been a massive boost. 2. Mike Vrabel Vrabel went a different direction. He went to a franchise that has solid ownership, a mediocre front office and one of the worst roster in the NFL. However, he has a track record of NFL head coaching success AND lucked into one of the easiest schedules in NFL history(I believe 3rd easiest). Even with that caveat, a clear indicator that coaching has been a huge boost. 3. Pete Carroll Carroll chose one of the NFL's most voliate franchises. Notoriously bad ownership, very bad front office and a terrible roster. But, Carroll is a HOF caliber NFL HC with success at every stop. At the moment, coaching has not been able to overcome the apparent obstacles. In fact, it's been a complete diaster to the extent that Carroll has already fired multiple coaches. One could certainly argue that pethaps Pete has lost his touch but regardless, this coaching change didn't result in a turnaround and Carroll's future there seems in doubt. 4. Aaron Glenn Glenn's first HC opportunity was a doozy. Near worst ownership, a mediocre front office(at best) and a talented core group of players on an underwhelming roster. This experiment has been quite the ride to date. Glenn's personnel decisions have seemingly led to multiple close game losses(2-5 in games decided by one score or less) and the FO decided to have a roster firesale prior to the trade deadline for a wealth of draft capital. The question will be if Glenn will be given the time to actually see this future draft capital realized, now that a significant chunk of the talented core is not longer there. Coaching has not made a difference but is the franchise now setting him up to fail further? 5. Liam Coen Coen picked a mixed bag. Terrible ownership, a remade front office he essentially had a hand in selecting(or at the miminum influenced) and a middling roster. The early results show promise even if the roster shows significant flaws(and Coen shows visible frustration with his "franchise" QB every Sunday). Could be close to turning a 4 win team into a playoff berth. Coaching has mattered. 6. Brian Schottenheimer This was resoundingly viewed as a bad hire but it's also under challenging circumstances. Bad ownership in the sense that the ownership is also the front office, a future Tepper dream I assume. Very talented but very flawed roster. The initial results have been...interesting. A Cowboys team that was a bad 7-10 after a previous streak of three 12 win seasons is now....mediocre? Couple that with wild roster changes prior to the start of the season and up to the trade deadline and it makes for an incomplete picture. It's not much progress but it doesn’t appear to be regressing either. TBD. 6. Kellen Moore Moore chose the most challenging of all openings. The Saints are in the midst of a simulateous roster teardown and attempted rebuild. Decent ownership, a mixed bag in the front office(great at evaluating draft talent, less so in free agency and in salary cap management). The Saints have been awful but, they were expected to be awful. To that note, they were net sellers before the trade deadline. It was reported that Moore secured an agreement that this is long term building effort prior to taking the position so his status seems safe even while the team flounders week to week. Difficult to grade this now as the entire scenario seems to be a long term strategy. TBD.

      I think he has started to build a culture here.  I think if we had a qb with no limitations we would be seeing a lot more with the offense.  I think most of the coaches that come in and instantly win went to teams that were underachieving previously based on roster talent level.  Based on our roster talent,  we werent underachieving,  we were just bad.
