If we think there's a potential franchise QB on the board, FUGING DRAFT HIM. When you need a QB you don't have the luxury of picking and choosing the absolute perfect timing. When the opportunity presents itself you have to jump. When you're sitting through everyone else's trash can to try to find the answer at the most important position in the game, that's exactly what you're likely to find - trash.

 

For some reason I picture you being like the guy in this scene at the prospect of Howell being a Panther.

When you say ride the horse out - keep starting Darnold?  I was on that train until today - I just don't get how you can keep him starting the way he has played most of the time over the last month+...

yep. i mean you can try walker out but you won''t find it's any better at all. you roll with darnold because of the investment made in him and let it be a lesson to him and everyone else involved in the decision to bring him in without taking the OL seriously or trying to get clever without the knowledge and experience needed to do something clever.

darnold needs to find out if he's got what it takes to be a starter in this league that can handle adversity (which he won't). and you let that lesson that this whole thing was a bad idea be driven into the ground all season so they don't have a chance to forget or make excuses. 

we'll suffer, but we were going to anyways.

It's like a serial killer giving you the choice of drowning, stabbing or strangulation.  Sure there are choices, but is there really a good one?  The staff can go with PJ, shuffle the OL around yet again, tell Joe Brady to call a some more run plays, but is outcome really going to be any different?

Thinking more immediately, we need to go back to what was our success in the first three games - quick passing game.  Spread guys out.  One of the problems we've had with packing it in for running plays is that it gave defenders a shorter route to the ball.

Rhule can say he wants to be a pound the rock team, but that's not going to happen.  If you look back at those first three games, there was more shotgun, spread, and passes that were ready when Sam dropped back.  We were also more willing to throw into that 2nd level.  This team was made to run this Joe Brady version of the Saints offense.  We don't have the big bodies to pound people into submission.

I have no idea what the future holds, but going back to what they actually spent TC doing probably won't be worse than what we're seeing now.

If we are keeping Rhule and Fitts after this offsrason then Tepper needs to hire someone over them both. This staff is so inexperienced another year without making a big move like that just doesn't look like enough to get them up to speed.

Go get an old hand and put him in charge, there isn't anyone employed by the team currently with enough meaningful experience to dig them out of the hole the have created.

at this point it doesn't look like there is a QB we should take in the draft this year, and the best 2 or 3 will probably be taken before our pick anyway.

I like the idea of getting Fitz or Tyrod.  So spend our draft and FA building the line and hope we can find a long term  QB in 2023.  Sucks but that's what happens when you don't have a QB.  They are hard to find.

Consistently overlooked by this coach. Marty wanted to try and get Justin Herbert. Coach said no. The last one was Justin Fields, although not perfect would have ignited and excited the fans with hope for the future. Nope.

      Monroe Freeling’s lovely GF

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
