This is not surprising. There are pages of Huddle threads that support this assumption.  Darnold is the albatross hanging around the front organization’s neck.  
 

Corral was a deliberate and rational decision for trying to correct that long term.  I’m happy to embrace the suckage and hope we can climb out of this.

I wouldn't say they are contradictory statements.  They were hard to play against until the weakness was figured out.  As is the case with most speed defenses, running right at them can yield big gains.  That was figured out in game 4. 

The catch is not every team is equipped to run at the opposing defense.  We were still hard to play against for those offenses that rely primarily on speed and finesse.  Those are the offenses that often get throttled in the playoffs, which probably ought to be a sign to our coaching staff/front office.

Speed is a great asset in the NFL.  But, there come times when you simply need to line up and out-muscle the opponent on either offense or defense.  We haven't done that very well for a few years.  We might some improvement this year on offense if our OL shows improvement.  The defensive side of the ball remains a mystery to me in that respect.

Straight up truth.

If you think we are bummed out, imagine what the players must think having to go out there with Darnold under center again.  They must be asking themselves WTF is going on...

They are all extremely well paid and a lot of them enjoy that job, even if they lose. I would think this includes the ones that don't love the job or are staring at a contract year where this interferes with their chances.

Even on a bad team, it's a fun job that has a great minimum pay scale and all of them have been doing it a long time. Can't argue with them looking at it all and going WTF then switching over to ohh well.

Whoa...Riv sucking water...who woulda thunk it.... We've had a lot sht in CLT recently... 

That can't be.  RR threw us on his back and took us to the SB.  Everything was stacked against him but his superior coaching made us great. /sarc

No poo, it will remain as long as Tepper is owner

TBF Mike Brown is often rated one of the absolute worst owners.  He goes beyond meddling, he makes himself GM and put family in key positions.  Their playoff win drought lasted from the early nineties to last year. 

If you get lucky and land a HOF caliber QB all bets are off.   It carried the Bengals last year.  It carried RR his entire career here.

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Round 1. TMac arguably the best WR in the draft Round 2. Scour ton mentioned as a possible 1st round edge.     Texas A&M did not use him the same way Purdue did. After the 2023 season he was listed as a first round grade. I believe had Texas A&M used him like they did at Purdue he never makes it out of round 1. Round 3 Princely Umanmielen, we'll go by Princely.  Another highly graded player we got in a lower round. As the video suggests, even if he plays only on passing down it's a positive. Give him a couple of years to develop a he could be a three down player.  Round 4a Etienne IMO a huge upgrade over Blackshear. I can see him in a similar role as CMC without the heavy workload. He can run in between the tackles and has some shifty moves. Give Canales some flexibility. A fellow huddler pointed out UGA running backs don't see the field if they cannot pick up the blitz. Really good pick. Round 4b Ransom a hard hitting safety that has played three different positions on defense. Great pick Round 5a Cam Jackson a massive NT in round 5. I believe a solid rotational pick in a lower round. We added a beast that could make offenses quiver when he's lined up with Brown. Great Value  Round 5b Evans This is another player that can block and has good hands. He also had better seasons before 2024. As a rookie he's probably leaps and bounds better than Ian Thomas. I think he gives us a three headed monster at TE.  Round 6 Horn Jr. Many believe he's just going to be a KR/PR player. I believe there are going to be packages for him to get on the field as a WR. His speed with TMac and Thielen in the slot could be special. I'm really looking forward to seeing him in training camp. I've watched some film and he is very explosive.  Overall I love our picks. I honestly believe all of them will contribute this season. I don't believe we reached on one player in this draft.  This weekend we get a small look at these rookies
