Kyler got happy feet when the defense got in his head. He also started holding the ball too long. Both are death nails for an already bad oline.

Kyler is so hard to judge, bc that air raid offense had the offensive talent to run at a premium. I dont know how much of that was Kyler. He defintely has a rocket for an arm, and dont get me wrong id be hyped if we had him.

However, im concerned about the following:

1. Durability 
2. Longevity 
3.  how easy it is to rattle him
4. How many times he has depended on the WR winning the jump ball
5. The screen game amping his numbers

He is easily rattled. I do not get to watch him much but what I have seen he still looks like a college qb. He's holds the ball too long and is easily flushed from the pocket.  If he can't overcome that by making plays he folds.  He may overcome it but right now he looks uncomfortable in the pocket and like a rookie more than a pro.

He has been hurt the last 2 seasons.  When he comes back he is scared to run and that negates his performance.  When a team can keep him in the pocket and make him throw it gets ugly really quick.  Watch highlights from the Rams game and you will see what I am saying

That's what a qb should do. He tries to rely on his running ability too much. You rattle him he either holds on too long trying to make a play or panicks when shouldn't and takes off.  He has an arm but he's still a work in progress.  I like him as a qb but he needs work.

Kyler has said he doesn’t watch a lot of film. Just goes out and wings it within the game plan. That’s a huge red flag.

Yeah, that's not good.

I would say Mayfield would be as talented a quarterback as we've had in a while. The mental / attitude side is what concerns me about him as well.

That is just crazy. It explains some things about his game tho. 

I can't even imagine how they prepare if he isn't grinding tape. Luke was a machine and there is a reason he knew what the offense was going to do...just crazy lol.

At this point Rhule should be stripped of all roster control, he should be forced to ride out the season with Darnold. He hitched himself to Teddy, PJ, and Sam so let him go down with the ship.

Exactly.  1 year ago he was ready to push all the chips to the middle of the table on Darnold, and now he wants nothing to do with him.  What changed?  Darnold looked the same as he always has.

      This Bryce Guy (General BY Discussion)

      By fanpanther · Posted

      This is a good take it really is to the point dc needs to let the world see the real byoung b/c right now everyone in the media and tepper has had blinders on when it comes to young.  Its hard to even know where the panthers are at skill player wise with such horrible qb play.  I doubt it but legette may be a probowl wr he just cant throw the ball and catch it.  I am just so sick of every excuse in the book for byoung.  LIstened to a podcast and the guy was going over how many different options byoung had on the int and all of them were ok except for the one where he threw an int.  He said the play could be run by a hs qb and they would typically make a good decision.

      We have a Dave Canales Problem

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      I certainly have my complaints about Canales but I'm not ready to fire him yet for a couple of reasons. First and foremost, Tepper has made this one of the least appealing jobs in the league. Morgan and Canales are here to begin with in large part because guys higher on the wish list take other jobs. If you fire Canales you're gonna end up replacing him with another third tier candidate who wasn't being seriously considered by other teams with openings. That's just the reality of the situation right now as far as I can tell. Secondly, despite plenty of room for critique, we are 6-6 despite the worst QB play in the league. That's really damn hard to pull off in the modern NFL. Especially when your D isn't dominant. Our D is greatly improved but is still a slightly below average overall defense ranking 18th in yards per game allowed and 20th in points allowed. Going 6-6 with atrocious QB play and slightly below average defensive play is pretty damn impressive. Even more impressive when you also factor in that we're in the red on turnovers differential at -3. When you combine league worst QB play with slightly below average D and negative turnover differential honestly you'd expect to be in play for the #1 overall pick, not 6-6 and having just played a game that a win would have you leading the division. So yeah, even though I'm far from sold I advocate for patience with Canales for the time being. If you ask me if I'm bringing him back next year, I'm a yes barring a catastrophic meltdown down the stretch which admittedly is very much a possibility.
