Teddy was trash. I’d still take Darnold over him. But he wasn’t the only problem. 

Ha.. This Sam Darnold quarterbacked team is some of the worst Panther football I've ever seen and I've watched nearly all of them. 

We were in every game last season even though we had a rookie coaching staff and undermanned talent wise. Teddy was the reason for that.

Agree that teddy isn’t the long term answer for any franchise, but he is capable of keeping an offence moving.

big criticism when he was here was the inability to get in the endzone… so far he’s on track to double his TD output he had with us.

Not clamouring for his return or being apologetic for him, but this is yet more evidence that our HC/OC combo can’t plan a proficient game plan, call effective plays on game day etc.

 

first TB and now Darnold, so far both QBs started ok, then massively tailed off as the season progressed. Not only that we are getting less out of them than their previous (and next) teams have.

Im convinced we have a HC/OC > QB order of priority to fix right now.

Denver also has the #3 defense by scoring in the NFL and caught Dallas on their worst day. Teddy and the Broncos have had their clocks cleaned by every other competent team they've faced, noting that garbage time have made things look closer than a few actually were (Dallas today included), and barely snuck by WFT. 

What does this mean? That Teddy is exactly who we know him to be, a middling QB who can avoid losing games when things are perfect around him but can't/won't elevate the team to rise to the level of higher competition. He's having a much better year than Sam, sure, but Carolina wouldn't be going anywhere with him and this staff except to perhaps a wild card loss. 

I'm not going to say that watching Carolina lose is a good thing because this is pretty awful, but it will be worth it if it exposes the emperor's lack of clothes and gets things on the right track. I will say I'm 100% with Jawny that last year was more than enough of Bridgewater's milquetoast BS when things mattered the most. Good riddance.

...just "sling it" baby...

Because even if Sam is playing worse now (and I’m not denying that he is) he still doesn’t play that infuriating chicken poo style of football that Bridgewater plays, with his wobbly floaters and passes anywhere but square and in stride. 

Like Dirty Harry says, "A man's gotta know his limitations." Darnold obviously doesn't know his. Give me a competitive game of football over a trainwreck any day. Darnold doesn't have the aptitude to be a signal caller! He hasn't shown the competency to even be a game manager because his decision-making is abysmal. No way I'd rather watch Darnold!

Yeah, anyone who would willingly choose this as an option is fuging nuts.

Most frustrating offense to watch since Pickles.

This to me stuck in my mind as a great summary. I agree with you in the order you have listed regarding HC/OC> QB . It's sad at this point but I feel like leadership is to blame now and not as much on Teddy or Sam. Teddy or Sam aren't great but I feel like our coaches are not putting them in position to be successful or even marginal middle of the pack QB's.

As frustrating as Teddy was to watch, it definitely wasn't all his fault.  It's also not all Darnold's fault either.

I think Joe Brady is in over his head.  He's just not ready to be an NFL coordinator yet.  What he did with LSU was trememdous.  But he didn't call the plays.  And that LSU team was most definitely stacked.  Justin Jefferson and Ja'Marr Chase against college competition is just UNFAIR.

We've definitely made poor decisions at QB.  But it wasn't all them either.  We just aren't right on that side of the ball, despite having perhaps the best set of skill position players we've ever had.

      Greg Cosell: Bryce Young is a complimentary piece

      By *FreeFua* · Posted

      As far as elite/elevate talent QB’s It’s Allen Mahomes Jackson and Burrow that’s it.  Then we have tiers and those can be debated all day Dak is a good QB but I know this board would want him out of Charlotte if he was the QB here. 2 playoff wins in 10 years. Justin Herbert no playoff wins. Threw 4 interceptions in last years playoff game. 23 TD passes last year. 20 the year below and 25 the year before that. This board loves stats without context and these stats aren’t saying they’re much above complimentary  Kyler Murray isn’t good. I’m not sure how he made this list.  Caleb Williams, Trevor Lawrence both benefiting from some real good offensive coaches right now. They’re both complimentary pieces until proven otherwise  I like Jordan Love. Always have. I wanted to draft him but he isn’t a superstar.  CJ Stroud hasn’t been much better than Bryce after his rookie season. After that Bears game year 2 his numbers very similar to Bryce I will say I think Drake Maye is well on his way to becoming the next top tier QB if I had to pick one from this entire list. I’d also say Baker Mayfield is a damn good QB and I’d take him over most of those guys not in the elite category  Now if you want to debate tools and which QB’s possess tools to put them in higher tiers that’s a completely different discussion. Most QB’s on your main list all have those physical tools that will keep you thinking he’ll become the next top tier QB. They’ll sprinkle in a “wow” play or two a game. Bryce will never look that way. Young’s game at its peak will physically always look different and I think that’s where most people struggle when it comes to seeing how Young’s can be successful in the league  All QB’s need a team around them. I think the Bills are failing Josh Allen much like the Panthers did Cam. Beane and McDermott using same blueprint with Bills team. Josh Allen hasn’t had much in terms of WR’s and it’s ultimately costing them when it matters the most
