People said the sand about Tua, Burrow, Herbert and Allen yet only the bad examples are brought up. Heck Lawrence and Fields were trash in here last year. You won’t really know until they get here and honestly coaching has a big impact as well.

I hope we aren’t like them picking the wrong guys when there were better guys available. 

I don't remember anyone ever saying Burrow was trash. One-year wonder, yes, but not trash.  Tua's concern was medical for most people.  Herbert was a wildcard. I admit I wasn't one of his biggest fans.  Nobody doubted Lawrence, c'mon man...he was the unquestioned #1.  Allen was an older draft, but even he took some time to get traction and that was with a stable franchise and a competent staff.  Fields isn't trash, BUT I still question how good of a pro he will become.  My guess is ultimately middling.

Most of them have struggled in since being in the League, but that's the problem.  Even "sure things" take time to develop from college to the pros.  Herbert has had the most success the quickest and he was probably the least hyped of the guys you mentioned.

I mean we might as well win the division. That would be just typical for this year. 

To win the division we very likely will have to beat Tampa in Tampa.

If we do that, it will be the end of Tom Brady in the same game.

I have trouble seeing the refs letting that happen.

We just cost ourselves 4 today. To be honest picking 10th and 20th isn't really much different. So playoffs is really the only success we can reach now. 

 

The Panthers are on the verge of establishing a winning culture. With Sam Darnald, and a coaching staff that is still learning to work together. 

 

We may not be world beaters yet, but man, with some luck this team will just continue to get better. 

 

Winning begets winning and losing begets losing. Right now, we are trending towards winning. I can live with that.

It's not a crime to want your team to get better, but the tank is off, just win Panthers!!!!!

It's weird how everyone looks better without the clown running everything, Darnold looks like an NFL starting QB, and I have already forgotten #22

I mean this wasn't prime time Russell Wilson Seattle, it was Geno Smith, but screw it, I am hyped again

Darnold attempted six passes today 5+ yards beyond the LOS. We have basically all but eliminated the forward pass from the playbook.

TBF, a lot of teams run that play now. We ran for over 200 yards. Sam added 120. And we had the ball for over 40 minutes. That right there is Playoff Football. 

 

Edit to add; Now I'm not saying we will make the Playoffs. I'm just saying that that is the style of play we are seeing.

Still would have rather tanked than what we're doing, even though winning today was cool. Darnold and PJ still aren't the answers. I'd like to see Corral have a legit shot but he's a total unknown. Also don't like that this might earn Wilks the full-time job because I still think we'd be better off with a coach experienced in the offensive side.

    • How about if you don't like my choice of content, then don't click on the thread? We're discussing the NFL, not Pee-wee football. Until we start having "great" games on a continuous basis, I'm going to continue to talk all facets of the team. Moreover, I haven't seen X have a "great" game yet. Just like I supported patience last season, I have become critical this season. If it hurts your feelings, it just hurts your feelings. I've been on this board longer than most of you, and I've been a fan of the Panthers since before they stepped on the field, so don't tell me how to fan. 
    • Speaking generally to this whole thing— I would say taking a play out of structure too soon isn’t always the riskier option with a higher reward. You’re crashing the call and going out of structure when maybe you didn’t need to. Attempting a premature escape does not inherently have a high reward. But yeah, it’s risky ball. Especially when your not outpacing IDLs. Sometimes the higher risk/reward option is staying in a crowded pocket, not letting it break down, stepping up and making the big time throw. Now, if we’re saying it’s impossible to judge, and there’s so many factors, it’s a complicated position to evaluate, sure but the saying something with so much certainty that his biggest weakness is that he’s too aggressive — I don’t, I just don’t see that. Like at all.  And nothing has really convinced me otherwise. You can’t just keep going on about how it’s so intricate and difficult to understand but be so certain about this one thing. And all that aside, pocket work, mechanics and footwork have been the flashing red sirens since day 1 more than physical traits (we drafted him knowing he was a historic outlier) - do we just not want to acknowledge it? It’s even been communicated straight from the horses mouth…the coaches and team saying what he needs to work on the most. I appreciate the perspective, but nothing here has convinced me Bryce is somehow this aggressive type. Still open, but I don’t see it
    • I think Egbuka is a very polished guy, for sure. TMac has some refinement that needs to happen. His ceiling is probably higher than Egbuka's but for that to matter you have to eventually reach it. I definitely don't have buyers remorse on TMac. Great pick.
