Sam Darnold had the 13th worst QB win in NFL history if we measured passer rating

And how many of those would you realistically be willing to bring in as a starter?

 

I'd take Minshew. 

 

As an aside; I can't even fathom that Chad Henne is still in the league. That boggles the mind.

I wouldn't.

This is a case of Grass-being-greener-on-the-other-side.

 

If we don't re-sign Sam, I'd rather we go after Brisset.

I see what you mean. I don't really see a solution. But if we draft another QB, we will need someone to help mentor both him and Matt. 

Absolutely, we will - and, I don't mind Sam in that role, I just think sometimes it is better to move on.  And I think it would be for him, and we have as good or better options.

Truth be told. One way or another, there is a huge possibility that we will have both a rookie QB and a 2nd year QB. We HAVE to bring in a Vet. One willing to play a few games and help mentor the kids. 

 

Next year may not be anything to write home about. But it is going to be entertaining getting there.

lol that people actually fell for darnolds decent start once again

The Panthers averaged an absurd 222 rushing yards per game in Sam Darnold's "wins" this year. 

We need a vet on the roster.  Yeah.  Let's go get one that actually has had success in the NFL and knows how to play QB and the NFL game.  That's not Sam.

Brisset is someone I'd look into.

I said that last offseason along with Dalton and got laughed at.  Both played decent this year and would have been WAY better that Mayfield.  I wouldn't be opposed to Minshew either, but he's not any better than the other two.

Draft weapons, re-sign Sam, sign one of these guys and let's get after it in '23!

If Wilks is retained. I could absolutely see Sam being brought back to hold the fort, and mentor the kids.

 

However, a new coach may have other ideas. Which right now seems like a step up.

"wins" in quotes.

Yeah okay.

When you are running for 200+ yards a game and even manage to crack 300+ yards in that span....your QB play is not why you are winning games in the NFL. 

So yeah, "wins" in quotes.  It's like crediting the league's worst defense with winning a game because an offense had to go out and score 49 points.   The D doesn't win you that game.   The O won the game.  Our rushing attack won those games.

Sam went 4-2 soooo....technically he did have success in the NFL and knows how to play QB and the NFL game.

HIS problem is he's slow as a snail in going through his progressions (or he just focuses on his first read; maybe he goes to 2nd read sporadically)

He was better (save this last game) in taking care of the football this time around.

If that isn't improvement, I don't know what is.

And just who is this QB that can do all that? You saw that list. There is precious little QB help waiting to save us.

You act as if there is a stigma attached to being capable of running the ball. Very few teams can win without it.

the purpose of that QB/role isn't to see the field or play.  It's film, locker room, teaching etc.   They supposed to come to save us.  They are to help the staff with youth they need at the position. 

Sam Darnold serves no purpose.   And we don't need to bring in a 2023 version of Teddy, Sam, Baker.

Too many ppl still clinging to the past. So what if Sam has had a bad career. THIS year he showed there can be improvement. Isn't that about all you can ask for?

 

Wilks is coach. Sam may be back

New coach. Who the heck knows

I don't have an issue with running the ball well.  I simply credit the rush attack when it deserves it.  Not give the credit the bad QB. 

Carolina's run game was absolutely bonkers during that stretch.  And folks are pimping Sam Darnold?? lol.   What Carolina needs to do is acknowledge that feat....and it is one.  They traded CMC and then went crazy on the ground.   Not just good rushing.  Great rushing.  Especially considering teams were playing it.

    • I had started typing my post hours ago and didn’t finish it and just came back to finish it, posted it, then saw yours and saw we were pretty much saying the same thing - even the games that stick out to us most.  I don’t think a lot of people remember that SF playoff game, but I felt like I had just got mugged in broad daylight.  I remember them calling Mitchell for unnecessary roughness, and then I remember watching Boldin take a super late cheap shot, dead in front of the ref and then showing him watching the whole thing in replay…  the refs let them have a fuging field day and didn’t do jack poo, but if we so much as breathed the wrong way it was fuging 15 yards.  Each team playing under two completely different sets of rules.  poo hurt.  I was enraged.  I’ve never went back to watch either that game or SB50 and never will.  fuging robbery.
    • I’ve said it a million times since, but it’s impossible to keep them from affecting the game.  In SB50, they literally took the game from us, and they did it early.  Cotchery’s no-catch?  The miraculous amount of times we converted for a first down only to have it suddenly called back make it a 3rd down and 15+ against the best defense in the league that specialized in rushing the passer and man coverage on the back end?  And you do that enough times, you kill the morale and confidence of the team you’re doing it against.  It’s telling the one team “you can do whatever with impunity” and the other “you can’t do whatever they’re allowed to do.”  It changes the aggression level.  It essentially neuters one team and allows the other to do whatever the fug they want.  Imagine you call the police for help and they get there and tell you to sit still while the other party beats the poo out of you and you can’t defend yourself.  That’s what the officials do.  There is no way to avoid them affecting the game.  And more often than not, it’s the most subjective calls they use to do so.  Even in SB50…  you saw the Broncos commit more egregious penalties than anything we did, and barely any of it was called.  Their OL was holding all fuging game and the refs did nothing.  We already had our work cut out for us against two future HOF edge rushers and the refs played to their advantage with that.  From what I remember, both Oher and Remmers were called for holding at various times and their hands were in the INSIDE of the defender.  It was garbage, but all by design. Also, if there is any video of it anywhere, go look at what the refs did against us back in 2013 against SF.  The fix was in there too.  They stepped in early and often and ensured we knew we were not allowed to play with the same aggression or intensity SF was.  It was disgusting as well. at this point, I hope Vince McMahon, errr, I mean Goodell just finally scripts us to win it, because this poo is not won via competition or off merit.
    • You can go back to the New York Knicks somehow getting Patrick Ewing.  I saw a story where they place the New York Knick card in the freezer right before the drawing.  It was simple.  Show everyone the cards are undetectable to the human eye.  All they had to do was grab the coldest card. IMO ever since Goodell took over the NFL it has been fishy.  Patriots winning the SB after 9/11, New Orleans after Katrina and Peyton Manning's going away gift against us. The terrible calls during that game were blatantly one sided.  New England should have been stripped of their first 3 SB when they were caught spying on the other team in their SB wins.  I think the evidence against the Patriots was so damning Goodell felt it could ruin football and they brushed it under the table.   In the 2004 SB, How did we go from practically no yards in the first Quarter to setting a record in the 3rd Qtr.  Dan Henning changes the game plan.  IMO probably the greatest half time adjustment of all time.
