Darnold is the best QB on this team

I liked how solid Sam was in the pocket. He didn't rush his progressions and moved laterally or up the pocket to create a throwing lane. He kept looking downfield and looked comfortable which is not something I associate with him. .Maybe watching other guys play for really the first time in his career and studying defenses will pay off.  Lets what happens when the heat gets turned up.

People put a lot of weight on his performance “without pressure” last year, indicating he was worse the longer he had to throw.

 

But when your line sucks and you get hit a lot, you expect the pressure, even when it doesn’t get to you. 
 

He consistently had time to throw, and had a nice pocket to move in today. And by result, he looked the most calm and collected of any QB this year for us. 
 

I’m rooting for him to play well down the stretch, and to be put in a situation to show why he was highly regarded coming out of USC. 
 

It’s not likely, but it would be a nice story to get behind.

For the record, I did watch the game today. Thought breaking out the ol' Darnold jersey, but didn't want to jinx him. The weekend I bought that from BOA, was a miserable game that absolutely sucked the life out of me. 

 

I enjoyed seeing Sam find some comfort, and some rhythm.  Ultimately he played well enough for us to stay undefeated at home since Wilks took over.  

This is what execution is suppose to look like. 

Good win. 

I hope he gets to start the rest of the season.

Statistically that's the best defence he'll play this year.

They didn't blitz a whole lot and Sam threw it away or dumped it off. He played smart but the noise in Seattle and the pressure Pittsburgh has historically applied are ahead. Let's see how he progresses. I am looking forward to it.

See Richardson Cam Fields are all inaccurate. 

The kid from USC Penix Maye

Mahomes Young Staubach can throw.

 

If your QB doesn't have the ability to win from the pocket regardless of his ability to Run then yes you are going to have a hard time winning. 

Cam while a dominant scorer inside the 10 didn't have the throwing ability to put the team on his arm. He had to run to be fully effective. Same thing will happen with Richardson. 

 

The reason I love the USC kid is he runs to buy time and keeps looking to throw until he hits the scrimmage line. He reminds me of Mahomes.

 

Yes I never ever want a Cam style player again. He fell so far short of his potential it's criminal. 

But Darnold is inaccurate. His career completion % is slightly lower than Cams.

Not picking on you but if you are indeed a QB guru you should probably at least say Caleb Williams and not “the USC kid”

Just some advice there

Seattle will score points, but their D-line shouldn't intimidate any QB very much so he has no reason not to sling it to stay in the game. After watching some horrible college football this weekend and us rushing all game long, I'm ready to see some Qb's carve it up asap!

That and the simple fact that both Cam and Fields have a higher career completion % than Staubach who he is claiming is more accurate… He is just pulling poo out of his ass like when he said Josh Allen isn’t a dual threat QB or Darnold is more physically talented than Richardson. It’s complete nonsense.

      Panther fans sound off on Bryce

      By Navy_football · Posted

      Just my opinion, so take it for what it's worth. I think Bryce decides who he's throwing to before the snap too often instead of reading what he sees post snap. Now alot of that is trying to influence the safety, but if the safety doesn't bite, he gets stuck and it turns into Bryce trying to make a play off schedule as the other options are gone. Cam did the same thing when Kelvin and Smitty were in the game. Bryce sees the field. He just gets a little stubborn sometimes. And that's when he gets himself into trouble. That and he doesn't trust guys to make plays on 3rd down. Instead of throwing to the open guy and letting them get the remaining 3-5 yards for the first, he'll wait until he can throw a guy to the markers. I don't think those physical limitations that keep being brought up is that real for him. Well... until he gets tackled and fumbles the ball at an alarming rate. But he has a strong enough arm, sees the field, and doesn't get injured by regular hits.

      Panthers win of course.  Like every Sunday I still have the hopelessly optimistic mindset  😎

      You do realize that first play was at 9:16 and they scored a TD before the 2 minute warning. 7 minutes is not a super long drive to come out with a TD. Longer developing plays is what helped get Carolina in the situation they were in. So you're suggesting they should have kept calling the same plays that weren't working? Are you suggesting Bryce keep throwing the same passes that weren't being completed? They were not in soft zone coverage. For comparison, this is Carolina's first defensive alignment in the 3rd quarter, and that's with only 1 WR on the field.  Cardinals were in a normal alignment/depth to stop run or pass. Not a soft zone to give underneath passes to TEs/RBs only. The LBs would likely be closer to 10 yards deep and the DBs more like 15-20 yards in that scenario.
