Just watch Sam's feet.

Acting like Cam never panics is disingenuous. 

It’s disingenuous to imply what you are with this post.  Tom Brady panics then.  Rodgers.  Wilson.   Hell, even complete garbage QBs like PJ Walker. 

those guys reacting to pressure isn’t what is referenced when talking about Sam.

Not sure about that. Bienamy (sp) had a plan for Cam and apparently pitched it.

Unfortunately, that was a few years ago now.  Any coach getting the job now isn't going to want to rely on Cam.  It doesn't mean they show him the door immediately... But I bet he is a transition piece at best.  I wouldn't have a problem being wrong, just seems likely.

Coaching is part of the team.

They lineup play 10 times Carolina is winning most.  

Best team doesn’t always win.  That’s why sports is fun. 

different refs and the outcome might of be different too that day. Hard to say that crew didn’t influence the outcome.

Dude Darnold is broken.  It may be - and I think this - that with a totally new situation and new, good OL the Happy feet could have been cured...

But that wasn't the case.  It is clear his footwork is atrocious to put it mildly... This isn't about Cam...

Cam spent most of his career behind bad OLs.    He doesn’t panic. 

It’s like being a punt returner.  You either have ice in your veins or you don’t.  Sam is a panic guy.  Always has been. 
 

Tbf I think Darnold (and Carr) had worse lines than Cam had, especially at the critical early years.  Cam also is tough as nails and had athleticism that allowed him to avoid sacks those dudes didn't.

Sad to think what Cam could have been with a truly great OL.

I dunno man.  He's got some real arm talent, but that's about it.  He can't read an NFL defense, and he doesn't have a good sense of when the pressure is coming.  For as many snaps as he has with no protection, you think he would have a better feel of when a guy is running straight at him.

Cam?  True he sometimes trusted his athleticism tooooo much and gave up sacks, but that was rare,  and he sure as fug could read defenses and had an incredible ability to extend plays.

I misread that as Sam Darnold.  My bad lol

All good.

Darnold would have been better with better OLs but still no guarantees from him in terms of franchise-level talent... I do think it's ridiculous mismanagement to try to rehab a qb behind the garbage we did but hey the hubris of this staff knows no limits.

Are Rivera and Shula coaching all ten games vs Gary Kubiak and Wade Phillips?

 

I think so.  Bronco O was horrible.   We had good defense too.  
 

and I still don’t think they beat us without the refs adding them that day.  So in addition to the bad day to have a bad day….they got some big help to pull it off.

    • Um, no, just no. Bills, Chiefs, Chargers, Ravens, Bengals, Texans, Eagles, Commanders are 8 teams that it's not even a debate, they aren't trading their QB for Purdy. Patriots, Broncos, Titans, Giants, Bears, Vikings, Falcons are 7 more teams with QBs drafted in the last 2 years that also would rather stick with them than trade for Purdy as they all have more upside than he does. Lions, Packers, Cowboys, Bucs are 4 more that would likely keep their QB's as well, age aside for Goff, Dak, and Baker. Panthers and Colts are two teams in the same situation, QB's who have both struggled and shown flashes to where the teams probably stick with them because they drafted them, but in a re-draft of all QB's, they probably take Purdy over the guy they currently have. Jags, Cardinals, Dolphins, are 3 more with QB's who probably have a higher upside than Purdy but come with their own question marks, so debatable if they'd take Purdy over who they already have. That leaves Jets, Raiders, Steelers, Browns, Saints, Seahawks, and Rams. Rams would take him over Stafford for the future of course, but not for 2025, and I'd think the Seahawks would take him over Darnold, but honestly not sure if they would take him over Milroe at this moment as they really like his potential and have him for 4 years really cheap. That leaves 5 teams that I see who would absolutely take him over their current situation right now, and a handful of others who MIGHT take him over their current guy, a far cry from your 20.  
    • Agreed. Also as soon as they received the top pick in the next draft it was over. Bears won that trade. Gave up a top overall pick got one the next year plus pick 9, a couple 2nds, and DJ Moore a proven young WR. Had their 2024 pick from us be in the late teens or later it would be more debatable IMO. 
    • Option A:  Pay your starting QB starting QB money. Option B:  Look for a starting QB for 4-10 years (or longer) while wasting the talent at every other position.    How many of the top 20 QB's do you think are worth what they are being paid?   When you factor in the last year of his present deal his contract is really an average of 45 million per year which in today's QB market is a very, very good deal. I wish we'd had found a Brock Purdy to pay 50+ million a year right after we parted ways with Cam.  Ya'll go ahead and live in fairy tale land where good to great (much less elite) QB's are available to pay. Just the fact that they had the chance to pay Brock after the disaster of trading up for Lance is a testament that when you find a quarter back you can win with, complete in the playoffs and superbowls with, you pay him.
