I know we all think Tepper is either lying or is simply delusional when he said that Sam Darnold is a "very good" QB. I was listening to the local sports station in the Triangle when host Joe Giglio gave everyone a dose of reality about Darnold in the form of stats. And, yeah, I know that people say stats lie, but it's just hard to spin these regardless of whatever excuses that anyone wants to use to delude themselves into believing that Darnold is anything more than what he has been. 

In 50 games, Sammy has 54 TDs, 52 interceptions and 29 fumbles. That's horrible! 

There's no way that I believe that anyone can come to the conclusion that Darnold is anything but a bad QB from that. Even with the excuses, perhaps you can conclude that his ceiling is average, but based upon his career, the ceiling for him is not very good [see what I did there?]!

Darnold has done nothing to raise the level of play for any team that he's played on (and, when I say "team", I'm thinking annually because each team is different). 

I simply don't believe that Tepper believes what he's saying in reference to Darnold; if he does, then we're all just wasting time here. 

He didn't want Cam, then he didn't want Teddy Bridgewater. He tried to get Matthew Stafford and then Deshaun Watson. Now, we're supposed to believe that he believes that Darnold is a "very good quarterback"? 

50 games, 54 TDs, 52 INTs and 29 

 I find the timing of his comments interesting. Would they not have been better served post draft ?

Moore is good, but I also don't think he is the same receiver or produced on the same level as Smith did. And yes I understand Moore didn't have stable QB play, but it's whatever at this point. 

 

What QB has Moore had worth his salt? Smitty had Jake for much of his early career and they had unbelievable chemistry.  Then he had Cam and went to Baltimore.  Part of the greatest of Moore is producing 1000 yard season with crappy QBs.  And Moore is better than good. He is only receiver in the NFL to have 1200 yards in each of his last 3 seasons.  The only one. That is more than good, that is elite.

    • I just keep the main thing the main thing.   The equivalent here would be you raging about Joe Brady needing to be fired.   Me saying, Matt Rhule is the issue and firing Joe Brady doesn't address the biggest issue at hand and won't actually matter.  Which is a dance I did then too.  You then call me a Joe Brady apologist because I wouldn't get away from Matt Rhule being THE problem.  the main problem is Bryce Young and his supporters in the front office.  Until that changes, nothing matters.    Canales being a weak OC in over his head? Time and a place.  You can go check my threads from preseason where I blasted amateur hour  Canales for not calling plays.  He needed work because he isn't good.  But that's not the biggest issue we got.   Like I said, nothing really matters big picture until Bryce Young and his backers address THE problem.  Which is the QB.   I have gone into painful detail about the entire Dave scheme is dependent on a QB bailing out a meh scheme and approach.  I didn't want Dave.  Dave is Foxball in reality.  Which is what Pete did in Seattle in reality.  It's the same approach and it needs a QB to bail it out.   You want me to bash stuff I addressed long ago.  I'm no Dave fan.   But the biggest issue for the Carolina Panthers is Bryce.   I want the outcome that leads to Bryce Young not being retained.  That's what is best for the Carolina Panthers.  You want 2 more pointless wins notched onto a meaningless season if it means just another completely pointless season tied to Bryce?  Not me. 
    • Canales comes across as this uber positive, cheerleader guy, but he does seem like he can make a cold decision when needed (see: Bryce benching, calling out Coker, a few others).  Something about him makes me feel like he's a bit sneaky with how he can get.  He's the type where I think if he's just in a room with Tepper, he'll let it out about what he thinks to save his ass.   And even with the wins, I just don't see much camaraderie between Canales & Young.  They don't reference each other in the usual QB-HC tone/dynamic in pressers and games.  It seems like Bryce is still trying to prove himself and Dave is still just not impressed, trying to figure out what even works with the kid. My gut says he won't be shy to explain to Morgan and Tepper what he needs to succeed.  And that doesn't include Bryce.  Barring some epic turnaround, the book is close to being written.  He will have more leverage.  If he's gifted a 3rd season, I highly doubt he's going to look and say, yep, let's just try it again with Bryce.  That isn't happening.  
    • Underrated part of all of this. Feel like it was Kaye that reported that NOBODY wanted to touch this job, so we had to go with someone not really even getting interviews/hire someone too early.  A. Tepper is dumb to have not listened to Harbaugh if it's true he wanted to be here, since that was the only name I remember being *potentially* tied to us B. You can cycle through QBs every single year. You can't do that with coaches and expect to hire anybody worth a poo. Even if Canales sucks, optically we almost have to give him 3 years minimum to prove we're a serious team for once and not scare anyone else off.
