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.

      The Panthers keep making the same mistakes under new GM.

      By Jon Snow · Posted

      That offense last year was so predictable. I really don't know what the strategy was in the end. Did Frank not trust his qb? Did he not want the qb they selected? Did he not want a rookie at all? What the actual fug was the plan? He wasn't going to work on his qb's mechanics until year 2? What the actual fug is that kind of development? I have never seen a team go so sideways as this team did last year. I mean they weren't winning much anyway because the rest of the team was ass but damn! At least do something to show you give a damn.

      Powerful leg but the clip alluded to him missing a chip shot. They might have a new kicker but let's see how he does in preseason.

      What do you grade this draft?

      By Pejorative Miscreant · Posted

      My perception/opinion of the draft based on a few categories.  Solid draft in my opinion.  Addressing need with perceived roster upgrade:  A Got WR the team desperately needed, a solid pass catching RB and upgraded TE and LB positions with what could be contributors.  Value of players drafted: B- My non-expert ignorant opinion on Legette is he was a bit of a reach.  Full disclosure though, I thought Adonai Mitchell and Jackson Powers Johnson were solid first rounders and a lot of GM's and scouts disagreed.    Brooks being hurt is a question mark/flag for me.  Draft savvy:  A+ Moving up to first for the 5th year option was a smart move with little to no downside.  After that Morgan basically stole a 2nd round pick next year and still got his guy in the process.  Also seems to have kept consistency with that "dawg" mentality the FO has been pushing.
