This has already been proven wrong before. Nothing went perfect for him vs Steelers or Bucs. No run game support at all. He still played above average.

This. I have yet to see anyone blame our run game for our Steelers and Bucs losses respectively. Say what you will about CMCs injury history but the dude has played all year and I don’t ever recall a time where he averaged 2.3 yards per carry on multiple occasions. Our current tandem is the definition of “boom or bust” and when they bust we lose.

He's gone move on. It's a passing league you are not going to get 300 rushing yards out of your backfield on a consistent basis. Your starting QB is going to have to go out there and win with his arm more often than not to close games.

Even in the Lions game Goff looked like the better passer overall. Sam threw 22 passes and accounted for 7 points through the air. Here's a harsh fact for these Darnold truthers. With a better QB we very well could have dropped a 50 burger on Detroit.

You are disingenuous

He was traded before the Saints game?

That's news to me.  🙃

 

But in all seriousness, I won't believe he's gone until either some other team signs him or our Head Coach (whomever it is) has both his preferred Starting QB and Backup in the lineup (and Darnold isn't one of them).

Until that happens, the possibility of him sticking around will remain.

That's the reality of the situation as of right now.

What?  Why is he still focused on someone who was gone since a billion years ago? 

Yeah that's one odd thing about the Panthers there was a portion of the fanbase who put a running back over a lot of other players and the good of the team. It's not really a dynamic that can be explained and I can't say I’ve ever seen another fanbase have fans who were so infatuated with an RB. All I can guess is they had their own selfish motives. But the trade worked out for both parties so that's all that matters.

Look if Sam throws us inside the red zone and then we run it in you need to give him credit for that.

There's nothing wrong with running it in.

He throws a bomb while getting blasted with anticipation to DJ at the 8. That's how we got points.

I've given credit to Sam for his ability as a scrambler in and out of the pocket. He has ideal size to do this from time to time but he does not have the durability to do that on a regular basis I've gone over that with you before. And truth be told the reason he was running the ball against ATL and got injured was because our offensive staff was afraid of him throwing the ball. Or have you already forgotten that? We are still doing the same even now with McAdoo.

What a stupid take. "Wow, we can run at will against this team! We should try passing more!"

Too bad Tampa didn't do that last week. "Nobody is covering Mike Evans! We need to stop throwing to him!"

    • They can get film of all the games? Every team? Wow! Who knew… Our games with them are big examples of why they are in  the CB market so hard.   It is the study they do getting ready for the games.  Preparing to play against is a little different than just analyzing film in scout mode. Deeper dive. Then you are analyzing post game too.  This goes to why players often change teams but stay in the division. The opponents know each other on a higher level.  Plus if you lost to us, you used to get fired. Now you have to trade your first round pick. Moving up on the world. 
    • I honestly can’t believe this team’s turnaround this season. It’s surreal. Figured healthy we’d be fringe playoffs and with another lottery pick could finally turn the corner, but we don’t even need that. This group is ready. We haven’t played remotely well the last 5 games and yet still blew out 5 bad teams by 16+ each game like it was casual practice. We had a few solid teams with Kemba and Big Al but this is easily our best group since the original Hornets moved to NO. Man, what a shift in culture this new ownership group and front office has brought. So damn happy to see it after years of suffering and consistently meaningless games in this stretch of previous seasons.   Only 2.5 games out of the 6 seed, although Miami, Atlanta and Orlando have been playing well too. Gonna be a fun final stretch, hopefully we can get a top 8 seed at the very least. Celtics tomorrow will be a good test. Would be huge to keep the road winning streak up against a very hot top team on the 2nd half of a back to back. We’ve played Boston pretty well the last few years with much of this same group despite sucking so I do feel pretty good about it. Kon is due for a huge game coming off a few cold shooting games (although despite the poor shooting he’s been contributing well with defense, assists and rebounds).
    • It amazes me how underrated Horn has become after he finally was able to stay on the field. Sure last year wasn’t perfect but he was still a huge reason for our rebound defensively and I’d say he’s easily a top 10 corner. You don’t want to see Mike Jackson as our top corner. Any player is available for the right price but I’d be extremely hesitant to move Horn even for a big haul from LA.
