For the record I would rather us shoot Darnold into the sun and give Cam a genuine off-season/camp and chance (that he really hasn’t had since returning to health).

That a whole other discussion though. 

You don't ever sign a player to an NFL contract because you want to be fair or nice or just to them.

You sign players because you believe they can help you win.

Corral is thin yes.

Doubt he’s stronger than Howell. He is taller though obviously. 
 

I know it’s cliche at this point but Clausen was seen as a better prospect than these guys too. 
 

Last years heroic QB class all looked like poo. Although measurables say they have more potential but still. 

 

It’s just such a hard position to get right. 
 

Using the filter that the arm strength/accuracy is enough to make NFL throws, then the MOST IMPORTANT thing is between the ears.

 

Does Darnold have more of that than the above two guys?

Clausen was a similar prospect to the QB this year.. That's why he wasn't drafted until the 2nd round.. Like most of these guys..

And between the ears?? I hope so not a high bar to climb..

But Reality is none  of the QBS in this draft match Darnold physically..

And that's the reason they aren't seen as nearly the type of prospect he was..

I don’t want Cam here because I feel sorry for him. I don’t mean fair as in “hand out”.

He legit hasn’t had an opportunity for a real off-season with a team since he got healthy. 
 

Patriots signed him during a fuged Covid year. The next year he had the full off-season then they cut him to go with the rookie. 
 

Then he comes here not knowing the offense and without the time to develop chemistry and timing with receivers. Timing matters. Knowing the full offense matters. 
 

Cam with a full off-season with these skill players and new line wins more games than Darnold/PJ.

I seriously doubt Newton has a full season in him.

Last year was actually more ideal in that he only needed to be able to play six games, but even that didn't really work out.

If you're looking at him as a backup, that makes sense. But if you're asking him to be a full regular season / possible postseason starter, there's a lot of doubt that he can still do it.

I don’t think you are remembering Clausen correctly. Or you simply remember Panther Clausen and not predraft/draft Clausen.

So coming to a new team with 6 games remaining, not having any reps with your receivers, not knowing the playbook outside of a qb power package…

Thats ideal? 
 

I’m…I’m not sure this conversation can go anywhere if that situation is ideal. I’m stunned.

If you're not healthy enough to make it a full season, yeah that's ideal. Or at the very least more ideal.

      what do you like do in winston salem

      Keep away from North Winston,  you should be fine. West Winston towards Clemmins is cool. If you're ever at the Peterscreek Walmart, the Pepsi guy is 😎.

      Does Bryce deserve credit for game-winning drives?

      By Mage · Posted

      Game-winning drives have been credited to QBs since the beginning of time

      So, after Sunday's game does that mean we're stuck with Bryce for the foreseeable future?

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      A lot of people have been slobbing all over this last draft but I hate the way that Fitterer/Morgan have built this offense since drafting Bryce. Anyone with eyes knew our IOL was crap but we didn't invest there and instead took project receivers and an injured RB. If you want a lesson in how build for your QB wrong, IMO, this was it. Draft him, protect him, THEN get him weapons. Its pretty much a rule, draft interior linemen, pay tackles. We're paying everyone. We had the opportunity to draft a center instead of Brooks, or perhaps instead of trading up for XL, trade back and take 2 guards/center. We could have paid Lewis and still drafted 2, but Hunt at 100m was just an overpay. And it's not like the guys many of us were begging us to draft were long shots. They're solid starters from day 1. Injuries happen. That's why all your starters can't be high value players. You need rookie contracts mixed in to be able to absorb those inevitable losses on the line. An offensive line playing an entire season together is an abnormality.  Factor into that also paying Moton 44m this offseason with a huge signing bonus when we didnt need to do right now to do him a "solid".  Now we have to sign Icky and possibly Bryce and it's a mess with more money tied up in the offense, inevitable cuts and dead cap coming. That's not even factoring in shifting Corbett to C last year after major injury to start at a position he's never played for an NFL season. It's all stuff that was foreseeable and pretty easily avoided.  The $$ and picks we've spent trying to surround Bryce outside of Tmac (Mitchell and Horn are TBD) have been used inefficiently IMO. Smarter drafting and FA with the line could have let us get more reliable weapons than XL and Sanders in FA. It might not be popular opinion, but I'll take a Bersin with hands that can get 6-8 85% of the time vs a big play XL with greasy fingers.  The part about hitting guys in stride was more about placement, which Bryce has struggled with. Obviously not every route is run to be hit in stride, but they do need to have the ball placed well to give the receivers a chance to do something after the catch. I just used Hill as an example because he's the biggest YAC threat I could think of over the past 5 years.   Receivers can feast on dink and dunk if it's schemed right. But to make it work, that vertical threat has to be there, if not the deep pass then the high speed routes that can spring someone for the huge YAC to keep the safeties from cheating into that 20 yard box all game.  I hope DC and Bryce can keep up what they did in the last game and it isnt just an Atlanta thing. But no matter what, I really want to see some better long term strategy coming from the FO.
