So Wilks, who got shafted in Zona is trying to lose his first game? Come on man, you can say a lot of things about this game but Wilks ain’t trying to lose.

I dont know anything about anything anymore with this league, man.  Nothing is as it appears.  

Again, if we're trying to win, why in the hell would you only have three forward passes through 45 minutes of gametime?  And with a guy who is 2-0 as an NFL starter and was allowed to pass downfield in both of those games and every other game he has played in...  but today, he suddenly can't pass beyond the LOS for three quarters.  I don't care if you had to start a punter at QB, you aren't playing to win of you don't even present the threat of a downfield pass for 3 quarters.

I like Wilks.  I don't know if that directive came from the top or what, but that isn't playing to win.

While the opening game-plan initially looked like it was going to be good….it did turn pretty suspect in terms of if winning was even a desired goal.   Also the game management as a whole was suspect.  I mean keeping all those timeouts going into the half?

not saying he was actually trying to lose.  Maybe the priority was to keep it respectable knowing it is all a giant shitshow.  And a brewing one (see Robbie)

Yup... 3 pass beyond the LOS through 3 qtrs and not even attempting to drive for a score with a 1:30 left and 3 timeouts in the first half.  It became clear we were just tying to get in, run clock, and get out of there with minimal damage.

And again, I like Wilks and I can't imagine him making that decision, but man, there's no way you run that gameplan thinking it'll lead to a win.  I snapped on robby during the game thread, but in hindsight, I think he was bucking at what we were doing because he knew that's what it was....  I don't think it was about touches, i think he snapped because he knew we were playing not to win.

It's a fuging shame that we're putting these guys at risk to purposely lose.  It is embarassing.

Carolina WRs - 7 total yards lol

I bet even in the legendary DeAngelo wildcat game they topped that 

No joke, if I wasn't so lazy, I would look up the stats from when Kendall Hinton started at QB for the broncos.  I am almost certain he attempted more passes past the LOS than we did today.

Yeah, I mean the WRs had 7 total yards.  I mean to risk your body every play you got to try to win.  

Not sure how I feel on Robbie at this point and reflecting on the game.  Probably need more info. 

Robbie/DJ etc do know they can get some stuff done with DJ.   Wilks in his presser seem to not believe a forward pass was something he really wanted to do unless forced into it.

Fourth quarterback injured behind this line. At this point virtually everyone should be available for trade so we can build this oline. I don't know what the record for lowest number of passing yards in a game is but today had to have been in the area.

119 yards today. Panthers have won with 26 before.

You are starting to get it. We are not stopping this train wreck. The only hope is to keep it from getting out of hand.  We may see a few unproven players step up and show something worth keeping them around.

    • Um, no, just no. Bills, Chiefs, Chargers, Ravens, Bengals, Texans, Eagles, Commanders are 8 teams that it's not even a debate, they aren't trading their QB for Purdy. Patriots, Broncos, Titans, Giants, Bears, Vikings, Falcons are 7 more teams with QBs drafted in the last 2 years that also would rather stick with them than trade for Purdy as they all have more upside than he does. Lions, Packers, Cowboys, Bucs are 4 more that would likely keep their QB's as well, age aside for Goff, Dak, and Baker. Panthers and Colts are two teams in the same situation, QB's who have both struggled and shown flashes to where the teams probably stick with them because they drafted them, but in a re-draft of all QB's, they probably take Purdy over the guy they currently have. Jags, Cardinals, Dolphins, are 3 more with QB's who probably have a higher upside than Purdy but come with their own question marks, so debatable if they'd take Purdy over who they already have. That leaves Jets, Raiders, Steelers, Browns, Saints, Seahawks, and Rams. Rams would take him over Stafford for the future of course, but not for 2025, and I'd think the Seahawks would take him over Darnold, but honestly not sure if they would take him over Milroe at this moment as they really like his potential and have him for 4 years really cheap. That leaves 5 teams that I see who would absolutely take him over their current situation right now, and a handful of others who MIGHT take him over their current guy, a far cry from your 20.  
    • Agreed. Also as soon as they received the top pick in the next draft it was over. Bears won that trade. Gave up a top overall pick got one the next year plus pick 9, a couple 2nds, and DJ Moore a proven young WR. Had their 2024 pick from us be in the late teens or later it would be more debatable IMO. 
    • Option A:  Pay your starting QB starting QB money. Option B:  Look for a starting QB for 4-10 years (or longer) while wasting the talent at every other position.    How many of the top 20 QB's do you think are worth what they are being paid?   When you factor in the last year of his present deal his contract is really an average of 45 million per year which in today's QB market is a very, very good deal. I wish we'd had found a Brock Purdy to pay 50+ million a year right after we parted ways with Cam.  Ya'll go ahead and live in fairy tale land where good to great (much less elite) QB's are available to pay. Just the fact that they had the chance to pay Brock after the disaster of trading up for Lance is a testament that when you find a quarter back you can win with, complete in the playoffs and superbowls with, you pay him.
