yeah, despite the attempt to move the goalpost in this thread, the point here is that there are actually people in the building, presumably influential people, who are still deluded enough to believe Sam darnold can be a great nfl QB (or worse, a “really competent who can execute the offense.”)

those people should be removed 

take a shtty qb...with a shtty WR...from a shtty team....Ur gonna get shttt..

I know just a reference to all the anti-Herbert takes at the time only for him to become a top 10 QB in his 2nd year, 

I didn't like him because of how OU used him. But I sure wish we had the chance to draft him.

That's basically what I mean though. Love 'em or hate 'em as prospects we'll all be a lot better off if we land a legit QB.

It was criminal how they limited him to only screens and half field reads at Oregon. I still though couldn't see how people thought Tua was better especially after the hip injury.

Exactly why I didn't like him as a prospect. None of what he did at OU translated to the NFL. I was concerned he was another Darnold.

Yeah. Nothing can turn a franchise around quicker than a great QB. There may or may not be one in this draft, but if there is and we miss him there will be some angry Huddlers.

If you want a LT, fine. But don't let it delude you into thinking a shiny new LT might make Darnold salvageable. Were you watching him? Most of his worst decisions come when he actually has the time to survey the field.

 

I want an LT and it's got absolutely nothing to do with Darnold or anything else having to do with this year. I'm writing this year off. LT is important this year only for providing a solid foundation for next year's coach and QB.

I don't want Darnold, but this team is determined to fug things up. Let them.

      2026 World Cup Thread

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.

      LWOS on the FO's error--my word--on X...traits, timelines, Brazzell, & indications of improvement.

      Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly.

      Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
