All accounts I have read online said he has zero interest in recruiting. 

Ah hah. I hadn't seen that.

His calls just seem really uninspired compared to last year (which still were problematic at times, lol).  Maybe he is being hamstrung by Darnold and the OL.

We have seen Watson in Houston be very successful with an equally poor offensive line for years. The problem there was often their defenses were bad as well. 

I haven't seen the exact comparison between OLs, but there are QBs that make things happen behind bad OLs for sure. Darnold doesn't see the field and throws into windows after they close.

His play calling last year was an issue just in the red zone. For the most part this year we had been heavily improved in the red zone. Unfortunately, our QB is still an idiot at times and makes really, really bad decisions with the football.

Nah the NFL has worked him out and he isn't good enough to adjust.

Yeah... I think that when we tried to force him to call a run based offense his calls got much worse. That isn't his strength as a playcaller, nor do we have great personnel for it.  But a bad QB and OL are hard to work with in a passing game for sure. Especially when our receivers also haven't been particularly reliable this year.

Where are all of the "real fans" at? 

We still pretending you're only a real fan if you're in denial that our current team is total poo? 

@PanthersGOATFan336@Moo Daeng @iamhubby1 and all you other positive pollies that were gatekeeping my fandom last week?

Can I criticize the team yet? 

Don't worry man, I got chastised this morning for doubting we would make the playoffs.  What the heck was I thinking????  Clearly we are a SB contender!

Ive actually wondered about this.  So many times announcers remark the opposing team seems to always be in the right place. I'm wondering if teams have learned how to read our plays by personnel etc.

I don't know any Oline that could be successful in front of this QB. 

WHUUUUUUUTTTT?  Dude, the homers at CBS (AFC crotch sniffers) were even clowning our OL.  It was more praising the Pats for completely decimating/owning/embarrassing our speed bumps rather than taking pity on the OL, but the point still stands.

Our oline is terrible but not as bad as our qb.

    • It's honestly pretty interesting just seeing this pairing play out. Canales’ offenses (Seattle, Tampa) are run-first, under-center, play-action systems built around defined reads and intermediate/deep timing throws. That structure worked when he had QBs like Baker Mayfield or Russell Wilson in a system that created clear launch points and sightlines. His success has always been tied to a credible run game + play-action gravity. You can see that with the Panthers team building philosophy as well. Coker and TMac both are bigger receivers that won't get the best YAC production but thrive as possession receivers in contested scenarios. They're not the best in space and creating additional yardage in such, and would likely fair better systematically with a stronger armed QB who can create better opportunities on those boundary 1v1 matchups with stronger throws. Bryce, on the other hand, is a spread-native QB. His strengths are rhythm, spacing, quick processing, and off-script creation. Asking him to live in condensed formations with long-developing play-action concepts just hasn't been his forte. And well, his boundary throws are limited in velocity which takes a big chunk of the playbook off. And I mean a QB like Bryce can still work, it's just Dave's offensive philosophy and foundation is very much at odds with Young's physical limits and his own experience. So it's certainly still a learning experience for Dave to figure out how he can mesh his offensive philosophy with Young's strengths. He's very inexperienced with maximizing Bryce's strengths with his system. Would love to see us bring in an OC with spread experience and adaptability to implement a cohesive system with Dave to allow Bryce to thrive, as it's obvious we're sticking with him for a bit longer.   
    • Only thing I really agreed with is questioning why we didn’t take any timeouts on their last drive.  I know hindsight is 20/20, but I think it would’ve saved clock bc they were desperate to score as soon as the opportunity presented itself, but I also think it could’ve helped the defense regroup and maybe give us a better chance to stop them.
