Ah okay.

Tampa is now a trash team we faced...with one of (if not, the) Greatest QBs in NFL History. 

 

 

Yes, Tampa Bay was NOT a good TEAM in 2022.  Hence the losing record they had despite having a very easy schedule. 

supporting or creating a narrative? Didn't you follow Sam Darnold here from NY? The guy still rocking the Sam drawing in his avatar?

Panthers fans have bitched about every QB. Actually they bitched the loudest about the only MVP in franchise history. What has Darnold accomplished with two teams now? Why does he have such a following? Why so many chances? Other QB's have been long given up on by now.

He'll be 30 and his fanclub will still be saying "but wait...this is the year it's all going to click!"

Go Crazy Wtf GIF

Are you one of them?

I am waiting for the day you actually go nuclear on a QB (aside from Darnold, that is).   😉

That avatar is there as a form of mockery (it will be there looong after he is gone) but keep on deflecting and making it about me.  👍

So....again, what do you call a team with a losing record that played a very easy schedule?  And they were really trash at end of the season.   

2nd half of the season after the bye week any good team beat Tampa by double digits.  And bad teams like the Browns, Falcons, etc. could even take them.   Which is the window we are discussing. 

You skipped over all that.   What's your issue with calling Tampa what it was in the context of the game being discussed?  Trash.

Macadoo went pass happy against the Bucs, putting alot of pressure on Sam, and he played well enough to win, our defense prevents any of those Mike Evans home runs and he is a playoff QB 

He is definitely not the long term solution, but could provide stability at the most important position in football untill we find our next Cam

If you want to win in this league and more importantly go to and win in the postseason you have to have a potent passing attack. If we have a QB who can't even do that we don't have a starting QB plain and simple.

I still wonder if the issue between his ears can be resolved now that we have an actual offensive minded coach. Gase and Rhule were both complete ass and 2 of the worst HCs he could have had. I've said before sometimes guys just process learning differently (I'm in that boat) and that may be the case or it may not. As a vet backup, he's worth the cost to bring him back depending on our options. Maybe he could develop under someone who's not completely incompetent. Either way, don't care.

According to Reich a qb has to be able to make 10 big time throws per game. Dumpoffs do not count. They have to be able to hit the target at every level. That should narrow the field a bit.

So he had a bad game that we won. Truth is he went 4-2 and managed the game well. He made throws and moved the chains. Even with the Saints game he averaged scoring 24 points a game during that stretch which was above the NFL average. And that was coming off IR playing for McAdoo. His quarterback rating was 92 with a couple of games over 100. He was more than serviceable and had Horne played in the Tampa game he would have taken us to the playoffs. You can dislike him all you want but his play was not the problem at the end of the year.  Should be interesting to see what Reich thinks about him.

I hear ya, BUT... If we went all in on Darnold (again) I would always be waiting for him to screw up. Like he has season after season. He is not consistent enough to be a full time starter. Now, signing him as a backup, on a team friendly deal, is something I could get behind.

True. 

Although something tells me I don't think he'd mind it if it were less than that so long as it led to a win.

'Cause let's be honest :  Big time throws or not, it's the end result of the game that matters.

I mean...A QB can make 10 big time throws per game and still lose those games, you know?  🧐

Especially if the Defense craps the bed....grrrrrr..  (and yeah..I'm thinking of the Tampa game 1000% here in this regard)

 

And btw, dumpoffs shouldn't count but they shouldn't be ignored either as they can help move the chains to keep the offense on the field, and also help march the team methodically down the field to where a scoring opportunity would present itself.

Well if they don't pursue a QB, there will be a ton of pissed off Huddlers here.

We need to get started SOMEWHERE as far as going after a Franchise QB.

And the only place to potentially find one is in the Draft, not Free Agency or the Scrap Heap.

Thats certainly not true, well with this draft anyways.

They will not settle for less unless they absolutely have to for the time being.  The starter will have to satisfy all those criteria to stay the starting qb for the Panthers.

      Fvck Bryce Young

      By Proudiddy · Posted

      Idk man, I think it’s necessary.  There’s people working 9-5s everyday that get told poo about what they aren’t and what they’re not capable of and they’re working for scraps.  These guys are making millions.  People are watching and invested because their team and fandom is a part of their identity and a big source of pride.  When someone like Bryce comes in and is given chance after chance after chance after proving he is not worthy of the position he’s being gifted, and he continues to be the biggest reason above any that we are losing, yeah…  I think it’s fair to call a spade a spade.  Am I saying Bryce the person is trash?  Bryce the person is a piece of poo?  Absolutely not.     I came up in an era, especially in basketball, where if you were fuging up people heckled the poo out of you.  I played in rec leagues as a teen where the fuging parents were calling kids trash and yelling poo like “TURNOVER!!!  TURNOVER!!!”  “CANT DRIBBLE!”  “CANT SHOOT!”  And that’s adults screaming that poo to kids like we were in the fuging Rucker lol.🤣🤣🤣  I went on to play basketball at a collegiate level and with professional players in different settings.  What those experiences as a kid taught me was to see if there is any merit to what people are saying, and if there is, then work my ass off til they can’t say that anymore.  Come back better, tougher, harder.  And I did.  If kids can figure that poo out, an adult calling another adult who is bad at his job while making millions and millions of dollars will be just fine.

      I'm 43.... I've lived half my life if I am lucky... will we ever have another team that we will fall in love with?!?

      By TheBigKat · Posted

      I have tried to like this team, lord knows I have tried. BY9 is a nice young man, if I had a daughter he can take her to prom, but he ain't QB1 and he's not Cam or Delhomme Chuba is a average RB, he isn't Stephen Davis, he isn't J-Stew McMillan has the makings of a good WR, but he isn't 89/Moose D. Brown is a great player, but if the game was on the line I want Kris Jenkins       I miss this brand of football, even in the bad Jake games the games were entertaining It has been nearly 8 years now of watching numb football

      I’m not sure people understand how fuging bad it is

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      I'm not so sure. Something about the whole Frank/Bryce situation seemed off from day 1. Bryce didn't fit Frank's QB mold as well as Stroud, then he basically gives up when Bryce is named starter in preseason but gets virtually no reps in games. Then he looks completely unprepared and Dalton steps in in Seattle, has a decent game under immense pressure, and it's right back to Bryce. All his mechanics are terrible and he's having the worst rookie season ever and Frank doesn't bench him?  You dont have to be a conspiracy theorist to know Bryce wasn't ready to be a day 1 starter. Everything with Bryce, then coaches, and the FO seemed forced.
