I know Sullivan is our 3rd TE, but when Darnold escapes pressure, rolls out and throws a dime that hits you right between the numbers that you drop, I don't know how people can say "darn, if only we had a QB".

Well he's executed the game plan two weeks in a row. Go team. 

You're welcome to not let the door hit you in the ass on the way out when he's playing for another team next year. We know the type of QB you like to root for.

My point is that we're winning by downplaying the QB position. That is not sustainable in the modern NFL.

I just hope Tepper isn't falling for this poo but he has been utterly hapless as an owner so far so I'm sure he thinks his team has arrived.

If Wilks takes this team to the Playoffs I don't know how you say "Gee thanks, Steve, now he's your P45" if you're Tepper. Not when your franchise has been a laughing stock for years.

We're not drafting a QB in the first unless AR somehow is there. So you guys better hope whomever they do draft in a later round is better than Sam and Matt ... bc that's who this now "winning team" is rolling with.

You have a lot more faith in Young and Stroud than I do.

Darnold had ONE dropped pass??? That’s never happened to any QB before. This changes everything!

Who in the draft would better than Darnold in their first year (2023)?  My answer is none as long as they are on the Panthers. We got Jags for pass catcher...Did you see DK, Lockett,and wr3, TEs running routes to get open, coming back for the ball  and fightin to hold on?  Panthers stone hands and feet pass catcher cant get open or when they do drops them.

Not saying Darnold is good...he is servicable and young.  Just get a better coaching with better talents.

Year 1 I would put money on Stroud and Young being better than Darnold. Darnold was terrible in NY. Darnold hasn’t been “good” here. Honestly. We are happy we are winning but he hasn’t done anything that would make you want to give him a new contract next year.

Let's not forget we have Corral.  There is no sure fire TE in this draft.  The TE from ND is the best in the draft but he's not all that.  Where we stand now I'm thinking WR or LB in the 1st.  Bring in a veteran QB and draft one later while we see what we have in Corral.  An OG in the 2nd like the OG from ND Patterson.  I think we can pick up a WR in free agency.

Only if that contract is in line with a backup spot.  That's about where I'm at.

QB for sure, it’s just a matter of if you want to take one at 18 or wherever we’ll be picking.

I don’t like any QB in that slot so I’d go with tight end. If Mayer is sitting there I don’t see how you pass him up. Additionally, I’d be fine with Jaren Hall, Anthony Richardson, or Cam Ward in the second/third.

And while I’ve written Corral off like most, I’d be interested to see if he looks better under Wilks.

      Thoughts on using AI for drafting?

      By NCBlu · Posted

      Why? AI already taking jobs, running up power bills, drinking all the water and just bad for the environment but hey lest try to shoehorn another useless way to use it.

      2026 Mock Drafts

      By Soul Rebel · Posted

      I'm going rogue in R1 but there's so much confusion around us. Last year, we were going Walker or Williams and caught folks off guard with TMac. The previous year we LOVED Legette and it was no surprise when his name was called. This year, I think we nail three areas that weren't totally addressed in FA.  R1 - Kayden McDonald Full disclosure, I want Thienemann here, but think he goes before 19. Some might see an "overdraft" but McDonald unlocks so many people on our D. Having a DT the caliber of McDonald let's Lloyd, Wallace and the newly drafted Hill flood the offensive backfield. Also opens up Moehrig and our EDGES to eat. Lastly, it also removes all the pressure on DB to be the primary facilitator in the trenches and A'Shawn will be missed. I don't care about Turk. McDonald is the only true DT worth of a R1 grade and Morgan seals up our trenches here w/ a kid from a blue blood school. R2 - Anthony Hill Jr *trade up*  I love JRod, but think a smart team takes him at the end of R1 (Seattle, NE w/ two d-minded coaches). Hill, Jr is a beast and lost in the shuffle with all the Styles/Allen/Rodriguez hype. He and Lloyd with DB and McDonald up front and flanked by Scourton/Phillips is nasty.  R3 - Hecht/Lew/Center du jour Let's stop the madness with ignoring this position in the draft. We need one and should start normalizing the capital invested in our OL with someone on a draft contract. He won't need to start day 1, but I think the right selection will push for starter reps. R4 - Bud Clark Not sure if he's here in R4 where we pick, but would fit the "type" of FS/roamer that we need opposite Moehrig and Ransom. Allows us to run 3-safety looks and really keep teams guessing with personnel packages. R5 - Kendrick Law The kind of WR we need. IDK if he's any different than Horn, Jr or Metchie but Law could be a dart throw that brings a deep threat to our WR corps I'm guessing one of the R5 picks is used to move up in R2 along with a '27 day 3 pick.   Post-draft, I sign Njoku to bring in a vet at TE. I'm also keeping my eyes open for pre-week 1 team cuts for a young CB that we could bring in to maybe plan for Mike Jack's departure next year. Flame away.... I know the McDonald pick will not make people happy.

      Classic example on what AI is not currently good for.  It will create a baseline of statistics (which are fine but must be used alongside tape and other evals) and partner that with every rumor mongering dips*&$t on the web.
