Pull Darnold, he is done.

How is a 3rd for a young CB that can still develop worse than a 2nd, 4th, and 6th for a QB bust which also made up not pick up another QB this offseason?

Henderson is healthy, yet can't see the field, that makes it a waste of a draft pick.

Darnold was an attempt at a swing for the fences. The belief was that with a better supporting cast and coaching a young QB with NFL experience would be able to play batter. Sadly, that belief was misguided. Darnold just doesn't have it, nor was he given better coaching, game planning, or better Oline.

Both failures rest on Rhule and Tepper.

Henderson hasn’t been healthy. I’m sure he was held out like Elf was for lack of reps/conditioning. CJ cost less capital than Darnold and Darnold is one of the main reasons we are losing. I haven’t given up on Henderson yet and I have lost all faith in Darnold. I’m kind of intrigued about having both Henderson and Horn back and healthy next year. There is definitely potential there.

You pull him now you will be throwing in the towel for the season.  Rhule will have to admit this experiment of going all in on Sam with no backup option has failed miserably.  

His gamble failed badly and it cost the team the season.  That's not a good look.

IMO, NOT pulling him is throwing in the towel. We are running the most bland, vanilla offense imaginable just to try to avoid the QB turning the ball over and yet Darnold is still turning it over in droves.

Throw James Morgan out there and see if we have another Mike White(or whatever his name is).

Do that and at least it will show that Rhule and company are trying to fix things at QB.

'Cause right now, Sam sure ain't it and neither is PJ.

    • Yeah we had multiple chances to tie up the game or take the lead. We have made some significant strides as a team shooting threes but this group absolutely needs to get more aggressive in the paint in crunch time if they want to be a playoff team. For all the praise of the group and Charles Lee being talked up as coach of the year that's just pitiful and unacceptable. Also adding even more insult to the loss. Apparently Embid is 21-1 against the Hornets.
    • I read that they don't like arms under 34", but I do not know.  I can say that I have followed OTs who were drafted and many get kicked inside.  Brady Christensen is one example. RTs seem to be more tolerant of shorter arms.  As much as it seems silly, there is a reason the short-armed prospects can't hack the outside.   For the 2026 NFL Draft, arm length is a critical talking point for offensive tackles, with 33 inches usually being the minimum threshold for teams. Notable top prospects include Monroe Freeling (34 3/4"), Blake Miller (34 1/4"), and Dametrious Crownover (35 3/8") having elite length, while Spencer Fano (32 1/8") is facing potential positional moves.  Top 2026 NFL Draft Tackle Arm Lengths (Combine Measurements) Monroe Freeling: 34 3/4" Blake Miller: 34 1/4" Dametrious Crownover: 35 3/8" Max Iheanachor: 33 7/8" Caleb Lomu: 33 3/8" Kadyn Proctor: 33 3/8" Francis Mauigoa: 33 1/4" Spencer Fano: 32 1/8" Markeel Bell: 36 3/8" Garrett DiGiorgio: 32 5/8" Trey Zuhn III: 32 1/2"  Key 2026 Measurements & Context The 33-inch Cutoff: Many teams consider 33 inches the minimum for NFL tackles, with sub-33 inch arms often leading to a move to guard. Spencer Fano's Case: Despite top-15 draft projections, Fano's 32 1/8" arms at the combine sparked debate about his long-term position, though he measured 32 7/8" at his pro day. High-Length Options: Markel Bell (36 3/8") is a standout for his length, while Dametrious Crownover (35 3/8") also boasts high-end measurements. Proctor's Perspective: Prospects like Kadyn Proctor acknowledge the talk but emphasize that elite film can overcome shorter measurements.  Olinemen I like late:  KY OT Farmer--has the arms but lacks the feet. will be a solid G imo. Parker II (Duke OT with sub 33 inch arms.  Smart with good feet--projects to center.  A smart, agile center is a nice thing. Zuhn III (Tex AM) is another T to C candidate. Of course, I think the Panthers will like traditional center Logan Jones (Iowa) because he is an experienced (50 starts) fit in a zone scheme.
