Soooooo... 

If Wilks is retained, anyone think he keeps McAdoo on this staff?

Only place I'd be somewhat happy with his input would be in a consultant role. Other than his eye for QB talent I'm hard pressed to find any reason to keep him around. 

The same OC that's just put up a franchise record for yards in a game?

McAdoo is a genius now? The Darnold extremists are going to great lengths with this cope. I'm very eager to see what Ben and Sam can cook up for us if our run game isn't reaching historic heights.

It happened against the Steelers. We just still force the run and lose the game.

Darnold extremists? Do they exist? Or could we say people tagged by you as "Darnold extremists" are merely people pleasantly surprised that his play went up a little and want to see what he does the last few games of the season to decide whether or not he is worthy of signing as a bride guy for a rookie or signing as a reliable backup? I don't think I have seen even one "Darnold extremist" on this board yet but we can call anybody who's opinions may differ from yours slightly an "extremist" to further your narrative if you like I guess.

You again? The guy is one of the main Darnold homers here and if this post doesn't spell it out for you I can't help you. Run along now.

Darnold isn't dressed. There's no-one else on the roster I want to see at QB.

Let Walker die out there I say.

Baker looked good against a Raiders team that can lose to anyone and a Broncos team that has completely quit and might be in open revolt. 

He looked like...Baker...against the Packers. 

Obviously I'm happy for the guy and I don't hold any ill will towards him. Things were a poo show here in Carolina for his sting, and McAdoo is on record saying he didn't want Baker coming out of college and didn't think much of him. 

But he's had 2 games against dead teams, and he's with probably the best offensive mind in the league.

This is exactly why we need to go get a young offensive-minded HC.

A good one can make a pedestrian QB look really good and a good QB look top-tier.

Baker is an example of a pedestrian QB playing really well. Jalen Hurts is an example of a good QB playing at an MVP level. Both are examples of how much a good offensive mind at HC matters when it comes to QB play and development.

Shane Steichen needs to be at the top of our list. I don't know if he'd be interested in us if a team like the Chargers with an established franchise QB has an opening, but we damn sure better try to lure him here.

It's funny I say "you again?" everytime I see one of your posts as well so we have that in common and will be chummy buddies before we know it! Oh okay so one pro Darnold person exists. I guess that one person makes up the army of Darnold extremists then. In your way of thinking how you present yourself to anybody that does not fully agree with you on everything I'm sure I am an extremist as well since I say he should start rest of the way to see if he is worthy of being a bridge to a new rookie QB or a decent backup for the future right? Does that classify me as an extremist also? 

I actually want to know now as you have me curious Mr Frank. What do you feel we should do with Darnold the rest of the way and beyond? I'm for keeping PJ and Darnold for at least backups. Also keeping Corral to see what he has in him next preseason and bringing in a rookie. We go in camp with 4 guys and probably keep three so one will have to be cut and from there I have no idea as at bare minimum I at least think Darnold and PJ could be decent backups. Probably PJ as a cheaper backup so it may give him an edge there. That's of course if Darnold hasn't had some amazing turn around change and development all of a sudden and has not gotten it all put together to be a dominant starter in the NFL but odds are against that I realize hence why I think if he will sign for a cheaper price at least carry him into training camp next season to further look while also starting him last couple games to further evaluate but open the play book up and let's see if he has grown and developed any where he can play under some pressure. That's all I know to do currently but I do realize we should probably bring in another rookie QB to see if we can hit on one.

I think Jalen may have just fully developed and may be an example of a very good franchise QB playing as such and we could see him doing that for many years to come. Sure wish we had him but I agree, not with a coach like Rhule but with a bad ass coach who can continue to pull out the very best that extremely talented QB has inside himself.

Darnold is a decent backup/bridge option I have no issues with him from a personal standpoint it's the lunacy from some expecting him to become a franchise quarterback at this stage. It's possible but that storyline is stale. See what he does these next two games. From there draft a QB in 2023 no matter what. Simple enough process for me 🤷‍♂️

His two head coaches have been ADAM GASE and MATT RHULE. Arguably two of the worst NFL head coaches since the year 2000.

If you put him in Los Angeles with the Rams what would mcvay get out of him? Dude could probably win a Super Bowl and look elite doing it.

The issue isn't Darnold. 

 

And since you're an expert, who do you propose we draft to replace him? How many picks do you suppose we send to San Fransisco for a guy with the same problems in Jimmy G? There are no free agent QB's who will be better and no one we can draft will have a higher ceiling. Unless you want Anthony...barf...Richardson. Or worse...Will Levis...

We need to a build a team and see what Darnold can do with quality tight ends, a quality 3rd receiver, and a competent (the first of his career) coaching staff.

The thing about starting 3-0 last year was our offense was built around CMC. Now our offense is far more generic and is not reliant on a single player to work, thus this streak is not an anomaly like that was. 

We aren't replacing Darnold because we shouldn't. There is no one out there we can get, or should get, who is going to be better in the short or long term, especially in this draft. You put a mew QB in amd you have the same issues of the worst tight ends in the league and two quality receivers.

    • Very Odd, seems someone is lying about the "love" between Seattle and canales.  I did read some about B.johnson and he said he wanted a stable good job and that 5 out 8 teams that filled this past season, will be open again in three years. I somewhat get his point, but he's lost millions the past two years waiting. Plus great job are never open cause great team don't fire their HCs. He put lots of time and sweat into the lions and wanted to enjoy the good times longer.    I do think tepper made other coaches not want to be here. That all-star staff had as you stated had connections around the league and coaches are no different when someone contracts them and goes " How was it Carolina ??'.... " Love the area, hated the work environment/owner". They did get Brian Callahan to interview and had a 2nd one lined up, but in just one interview titans hired him. I'd much rather had him or just name evero HC instead.  Nobody wanted Ron Rivera either and he interviewed everywhere. No one wants this job..... even the jags got recent SB winning Doug Peterson.... I truly think Carolina coaching rep is in the dump and they fuged up waiting for Callahan. Panic move. This is my pure guess too, Jim Caldwell is the acting/real HC and canales is the OC.
    • I go back to the hole the Panthers put themselves in and his positive track record with getting production from ‘problem’ QBs. Which, we have one.  I go to the idea people were putting forth on these younger HC prospects - that maybe you take a guy early and let him grow and give him all the help you can. Like a QB go figure. I think that is pretty much where it is right now. I think Canales could be good.   
    • It's like with Friterer was the same as Canales. 'He's a great guy' and everyone loves him but Seattle had a HC opening with ties and no interview, even with a playoff appearance in a weak NFCS to boost his name. The NFL is all about ties and connections. It's so much more a small pond than most sectors could be so the corporate NFL bs is sooooo much thicker. All of those openings and no HC interviews? B Johnson is an anomaly, like a Kiffin, where usually you have guys that will go whereever to take a promotion even if it looks terrible for a distance, Wilks to Arizona comes to mind. It's weird and interesting how the NFL mirrors and then deviates from the rest of corporate America in their MOs.
