There is no easy fix here

Going to PJ won't fix it.  

Signing some midlevel FA won't fix it.

You have to draft a guy and give him time to develop or sell the farm for an established guy.

The worst part is you can't force it.  We might not be in position to draft a guy you actually like next year or a quality FA QB might not come available.  Maybe we have to wait 2 years.  

In the meantime you build the rest of your roster without wasting resources on players that won't help us when we finally do find our guy.

 

well duh now i go into hindsight mode and tell you all the moves we should've made and why my ability to be right 1/58th of the time on the internet should nominate me to be the next gm/owner/hc of the panthers

Culture on the offensive side is in the toilet. Looks like guys have no faith and frustration starting to show. Can’t keep starting Darnold and expecting the mentality to change. I think the culture on the defensive side is strong, however. Spend what few picks we have next year on OL, pick up a backup QB for a year and target the ‘23 draft for QB.

We need a franchise QB, that cures every ill with this team. Teddy and Sam weren't/aren't leaders. Team should have gone after Tyrod Taylor. The QB's in this class sucked so drafting Fields/Jones wouldn't have changed anything, maybe there is a sleeper in this next draft ala Josh Allen

I agree with the strategy but you can't keep starting Darnold after performances like he's had the last month+. 

PJ is bad, yes, and isn't the answer, yes, but it's also about not losing the locker room and looking like you're trying *anything* to give your O a chance...

i agree, you don’t go after your guy in the draft with no expenses spared and put him behind this line

have to do things properly 

this should have been started soon as Rhule stepped in the office

instead spent two years fiddling around trying to find a short cut, just delaying the process

wrong.

I've said every since we signed Matt Kalil that signing players to become something they haven't shown to be in recent years is a proposition that usually doesn't work out.

Said the same with Teddy, Said the same with Sam.

None of this is surprising, nor not supported by history.

The fix was keep Teddy and draft Fields. Now that this did not happen the new fix is tank for a real QB. Unfortunately this draft really looks like it only has one or two that would be ready anytime soon. 

I’d take a shot on Sam Howell if he’s available. Can’t be worse… then again, need OL so might not be worth the gamble

    • I think he did a solid job.  Honestly I liked his post game interview the best.  He gave himself a C and said he left a lot out on the field.  That kind of attitude can carry him far.
    • This is lacking a fairly considerable amount of context. For one, Adams(age 22) started 12 of 16 games, had 38 rec, 446 yds and 3 TD's on 66 targets(18 less, with 2 less games started). The main thing missing here is that the top two WR's for Green Bay that year combined for about 2800 yds and 25 TD's. Now if you want to throw a more accurate dart at Adams, take a look at year two. This year the production was spread around considerably and Adams didn't stand out from that pack(pun not intended).  So, if XL struggles mightily this season, I would probably keep that comparison in your quiver to counter argue. I would suggest that I don't think that scenario is probably very accurate for most HOF caliber WR's taken in the first round over the past 15 or so years. Adams was the 89th pick overall, as well. A little different hill to climb than XL, although not massively.
    • to clarify I am not referring to Will Levis.  Not knowingly.   I just made that up and tried to use a reasonable guesstimate of what else was done.  That sounded in the ballpark.  At one time I did look it all up and there were several teams that had much more successful days downfield.   If that happened to be Levis' actual numbers than it's more of a lucky coincidence.  If memory serves, it wasn't just Will Levis that brought the claim into question, it was SEVERAL teams had better days.  and you are missing my entire point of the subjective nature of it all.  If PFF employee Doug watched Bryce's film and then used his same unique subjective vantage point to grade all 31 other starting QBs.  Then dumped into into a spread sheet, it would a subjective Doug take but at least it would be a level uniform subjectivity.   The grades are done by various people.  All watching and applying their own subjective view to a play.  Everyone isn't going to grade incompletions out the same.  Or completions.   So when you dump it all into a spread sheet and hit sort.....it's not actually a statement of fact as portrayed.  Which is why you sometimes get some head scratching stuff.  I'm not reframing anything.   I don't think.  I just wasn't going to look it all back up so I was talking vaguely off the general issue I have with PFF and treating any random claim they make as the truth.
