Well that's what happens WHEN THE OFFSEASON STARTS, you know.  🙄

I don't think McAdoo is developing Darnold. I think Wilks just has the balls to tell McAdoo to protect the Panthers from Darnold. How do you stop Darnold from making mistakes? Give me as few touches as possible. 

This ground and pound game plan is good for a team with a weak QB but it won't be successful in the playoffs against better competition. We won't win a shoot out where we have to play from behind, and opposing teams just need to stop our run game to make us one dimensional. Look at the Pittsburgh game as an example. 

okay I'm no longer that annoying fanboy of Sam but I must say that this is really a bad take if you actually believe that is the plan and not "We're going to run the ball because we have the personnel to do it".   smh.

We are completely de-emphasizing the pass game. Darnold is throwing the ball less than 25 times per game in the post-Rhule era. We're running a 1970s offense. Most of the passes that we do make are behind or near the LOS with a few longer shots sprinkled in. You can't beat playoff teams with this type of offense.

It’s fun when it works but at some point you have to trust your qb to open things up.

If you're asking your QB to pass more when you're running for over 300 yards then you're a moronic OC.

Since coming off IR Darnold has done everything asked of him to a high level.

I genuinely don't know what more some fans want - the bar is, apparently 'subterranean' for him... so maybe enjoy the fact that he's thrown for 800 yards and scored 6 TDs without a single turnover in the last 4 games, eh? Or does the hatred for him run so deep that certain fans can't even be pleasantly surprised at his ability to manage games and play within the confines of the system?

That’s fine for now but it’s a low ceiling in the grand scheme of things.

So the fug what?? What year was Jake in before he developed into a starter?? Geno Smith is in year 8 of his career and year 3 of his development with Pete.. Some QB’s take a different path instead of being awesome from the gate.. But you still missed the point in this thread which is really not about Darnold but more about Mcadoo coming up with something that actually makes this dude look competent and confident something he hasn’t been since being on this team..

If the point of the thread is a thinly veiled attempt to want to keep both darnold and mcadoo then our fans have truly lost their minds.   We have to do better in the 2023 version of the nfl.   Running the football is fun as hell when it works ie yesterday but you are at a complete disadvantage when you get into a shootout.  And that happens more times then not with all of the rules favoring wrs and qbs.

Protect the Panthers from Darnold by cutting Mayfield and benching Walker.

Seems legit.

Nah, we know if they lose some of you will be here to crow about how bad this team is and that you were right that we should have been tanking to get so and so.

No, because if we lose we'll still be getting a top 10 pick. If we win out and make the playoffs that's exciting.

But what we're not going to do is ignore the fact that the team isn't very good and we don't have a lot of quality wins to show for it (we're safely under .500 this season).

If we run the ball well and the defense makes stops we win.

I mean we're coming off a record breaking rushing day and you goofies are trying to talk about Sam Darnold turning us around.

But I know you don't actually watch the games.

Yes, we did. Don't be a liar on Christmas.

last season at least made some sense since he was averaging like 40 throws a game and 300 yards passing thru the first 3 or 4 games, and you could make the argument he was free of his old terrible coaching.

He looks like he's becoming a perfectly fine backup but good god as fans we need to stop settling for perfectly fine backups as our starter.

i completely agree.

Last year it made sense to believe it was merely coaching and he turned it all around. But we struggled after that hot start.

I'm enjoying the wins and him being better than Baker/PJ, but that's not enough for me to even think about extending him as a starter.

He has time to prove me wrong, but a week after getting embarrassed by the Steelers I'm not here for the Mcadoo /Darnold narrative being pushed.

Darnold haters refer to him as a 5th year QB. 
 

Darnold backers refer to him as a 25 year old QB. 
 

Interesting. Darnold’s career path had him developing in the NFL during his low twenties. A QB like Pickett is just getting started in the NFL at 24. Ask yourself if you would be satisfied with Pickett being our future QB if he’d taken over for Mayfield/Walker and performed the same as Darnold. I think most would be at minimum cautiously optimistic in that case.

      I think the same thing, they don’t have any better options especially since Christiansen is out for the year

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By JawnyBlaze · Posted

      It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed.

      Possibly playoff affectng news

      I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
