For those wanting Darnold...

A better O-line won't make Darnold a better QB. I wish the myth would die.

It damn sure isn’t helping Mayfield, he bails on a clean pocket the to the direction of his primary receiver. He’s missing open receivers and getting his passes batted down at a record setting pace. The OL and defense has drastically improved, having just a serviceable QB would make this a pretty good team. So yeah, gotta do what ya gotta do…

I've said time and time again Rhule and company sealed their fate when they shipped Bridgewater out the building and their solution was Sam Darnold. 

If they would have let him play out the contract they signed him with a solid roster around him we would have been in a much better position. 

But atlas we're in the mist of the Peter Principle from Rhule to McAdoo on down that's an anchor on this organization.

I take no pleasure in getting this one right.  I was praying that it would play out differently.  But here we are, right where i thought we would be. 

Now its going to be a back and forth rotation between Sam and Baker as each flounder around out there until the season is over. 

 

Imagine the convo in the quarterback room this week...

Baker:  Hey, Sam, so how's the rehab going?  You're looking pretty good.  Coming off IR this week?

Darnold:  Uh, no.  This thing is taking a lot longer than expected.  I might be done for the season.

Unfortunately, with our offensive coaching staffs under Rhule, you could replace Bridgewater, Darnold, and Mayfield with Montana, Elway, and Brady and the results would not be drastically better.  Some coaches can almost magically get the best from their talent.  Ours tragically gets the worst.

I don't even want to think about what would happen if we picked somebody high in the draft under this regime.

This is the absolute truth - and what I keep concluding after re-watching and analyzing games. No one is being put in a position to succeed. This scheme and staff is backwards and not getting even the average out of proven players from the Panthers, and is driving an average to above average QB into the bottom of the QB rankings. CMC has been turned from an elite receiving back into a Nebraska-style between the tackles fullback. 

The only way you would want to draft a high pick is if the entire staff is replaced with a proven QB developer. Rebuilds can ruin good QB talent as well as bottom dwelling teams that expect too much.

The way it should have gone, yep, game manager vet QB build up the rest of the team so when you do get your young QB he has a strong running game and a good defense to help him out. Teddy was fine for that   

Collecting failed QBs and throwing them at the wall hoping one sticks while draining your organization of draft capital, this is what that looks like.

    • Saw this show up in my new feed. Nice to see a couple of our rookies making it into the top 5 so far, even if it is a pff measure... From https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-top-15-rookies-week-9-2025 ... 4. TE Mitchell Evans, Carolina Panthers (78.7) Evans struggled in the Panthers’ tight win over the Packers, finishing with a 41.8 PFF overall grade — third worst among tight ends this week. He was not targeted in the game and played only one snap in pass protection. He did log 15 run-blocking snaps, and although he earned a 68.9 PFF run-blocking grade in zone looks (seven snaps), his 39.0 mark in gap schemes (second worst for the week) dragged him down to a 46.6 PFF run-blocking grade overall — sixth worst for the week. Despite seeing zero targets over his past two games, Evans still leads the Carolina tight end group with a 74.3 PFF receiving grade. He has caught all nine of his targets for 90 yards, six first downs and two touchdowns. Evans also leads the Panthers’ tight end group in PFF run-blocking grade (72.2). He has recorded a 20.5% positive play rate across 175 snaps.  5. WR Tetairoa McMillan, Carolina Panthers (78.6) McMillan had a better day against the Packers, recording four catches for 46 yards. Most of that production came in the first quarter via two 16-yard catches — one of which he snatched from Carrington Valentine’s hands, who was in perfect position to break up the pass. McMillan accounted for three first downs on the day, although Green Bay was able to limit his impact after the catch, holding him to 0.8 yards after the catch per reception. McMillan now has 41 catches for 558 yards — a top-15 mark. He is also tied for second with 19 explosive gains of 15-plus yards. Three of McMillan’s catches against the Packers came between the numbers, bringing him to 22 for 318 yards and 19 first downs (tied for second most) this season. He owns a 26.1% threat rate and a 76.6 PFF receiving grade between the numbers. He also ranks in the top 10 in explosive gains (10) and yards after the catch per reception (5.5) within that area of the field. 
    • At least we don't need to hear overreacting about towels ...
    • Actually there is, try being a Charlotte Hornets fan. I mean the team fuging moved at its peak and hasn't recovered since and that was 25 years ago
