Is the OL really that bad?

At this point, might as well.  (When he's healthy of course)

No. Baker has his down sides but Sam isn't really worth a backup QB spot at this point. Can't see the field and the beating he took last year is the kind that gives a QB a case of the Carrs. No thank you sir.

Darnold sucks, but at least he can physically see downfield without scrambling out of the pocket.  It doesn't matter.  We're screwed at QB.

I have concluded the reason why it seems so hard to evaluate any position or player to a large extent is because 1. they are coached and schemed for college while playing in the NFL and 2. they are playing opposing players that are scheming AGAINST amateur hour college strategies, immediately putting them at a disadvantage, especially rookies.

I'd like to see what Sam Darnold looks like behind this line 

Shockingly change the jerseys and it does feel like the same play.

 

Thing is Baker was supposed to make a couple plays to help get the panthers over the hump, hes not made enough..... idk if its him getting here late, not liking BBQ, or what...... just like Rhule needs to make a few decisions to improve the panthers chances...... that same deal goes for Baker....

1st it was teddy B, then Sam and/or joe Brady, now McAdoo and Baker.........

It's matt rhule. That said this was predictable if you refuse to run the ball as Matt has done. Baker, Sam, and Teddy are all guys that cannot carry a team when asked to drop back or start from the gun and just sling it. Also, Joe Brady had a better script that this crap from ol man McAdoo.

 

The browns stat from playaction vs drop back should be telling. Give him a big time run game and weapons, and he's a manager. That was the browns issue and why they looked elsewhere and didn't want to hold on to him. They need someone to do more than ride everything off just the running game with their aspirations. Funny that it's teppers guy in Watson though.

    • Are you guys trying to say that the Cam ‘haters’  exactly mirror the Darnold ‘lovers”? Same people?  I don’t think that is it at all. I think it is more likely to be different people, probably with some overlap. This racism thing, when most of the team and league is Black and people are big fans of plenty of Black players, but have football issues with one or two and that makes them a racist? I don’t understand that at all.   I will tell you also, Sam Darnold at the price he would have cost, and all that cost invested in other areas plus we’d have DJ Moore, was a far better option than what they did.   
    • More of the same, but with actual statistics thrown in with the film review. It's a long one He puts blame on the offense and coaches as well, but doesn't sound too high on Bryce's ceiling. Lots of words but here's the basic summary Young’s lack of arm strength and size creates little room for error in his play. If he takes one extra hitch or is a hair late getting rid of the football, defenders often make plays on the ball or squeeze windows even tighter. The issue is that Young constantly needs to take an extra hitch to get enough zip on the ball when throwing to the outside and he often needs to work backward in the pocket to see that target. What does this all mean for Young going forward? Well, let’s just say it’s not exactly a rosy start to his professional career. It’s a rough statistical profile and his play wasn’t overwhelming when I studied him. Yes, former No. 1 picks like Goff and Trevor Lawrence have overcome their horrid rookie years to become viable quarterbacks, but those are the exceptions to the rule, and Lawrence showed more glimpses of high-end play during his rookie year during the Urban Meyer experience than Young did under Reich and the rest of the Panthers' funky bunch coaches. This is not to say that Young is a bust already, either. His accuracy and intelligence still translate to every offense and still give him a floor as a viable starter, and better teammates, like the newly acquired Diontae Johnson and explosive rookie wideout Xavier Legette, should help highlight those traits even more. But, you take a player No. 1 overall to move the needle, not to just get the job done. Young has a path to be a quarterback who can keep an offense on time with some ad-libbing ability to add creativity and spice to an offense (Alex Smith, another quarterback with a rough rookie season, is a play style and career comparison I keep coming back to for Young). But to justify that 1.1 selection, Young (and Canales) have to push it even more in 2024 and beyond. https://sports.yahoo.com/bryce-youngs-hopes-for-a-bounce-back-season-with-panthers-comes-down-to-more-than-just-his-supporting-cast-140010168.html
    • Definitely in the running. I’d probably go Oakland. Lost football, seriously crappy baseball team. They have Golden State Warriors I guess.
