Lest we forget the "Protect the Bank" slogan rolled out before the game against the Steelers, only to be embarrassed by Mitch Trubisky of all people. 

There's some rose colored revisionist history going on here.

He is riding the best WR in the game and the rest of the team is better than any he has ever had. I think he is playing his best ball but it's going to come back to earth.

I 100% agree with this opinion but I’m hoping this is wrong cause I like Darnold and want him to succeed. I’m a sucker for redemption stories.

Sam Darnold gonna fug around and win MVP.

 

And I'm I'm gonna fug around and bring back my old post saying we should have kept Sam Darnold as QB.

 

Dalton is balling tho. I like him.

You know damn well if we'd have kept Darnold he'd still be playing like ass today.

Do you realize Darnold/Wilks era was the closest thing to winning football we had under the entire Tepper era?

 

At some point you Panthers fans gotta wake up and realize we are the joke. Bakers and Darnold are balling out with new teams. We are still losing and being awful.

 

Just stop with the nonsense. Nothing about this franchise can be viewed as a positive right now. We are at the bottom of the league. Everyone who leaves us has success including Wilks who was in the SB as a DC the following year.

 

Look in the mirror and accept accountability for having a bad owner who makes bad decisions. If Canales wasn't man enough to bench Bryce Tepper would still have him starting.

 

Tepper down son!

You do realize that everything you are wishing for was during the Tepper era, right? And your big wish was 6-6 football.

Speaking of Stockholm Syndrome, holy poo.

May God have mercy on your soul.

This man has to be locked up for another 2-3 seasons to groom our current young talent and to groom his successor. People take for granted how fortunate this team right now to have a QB basically rescue this team from the brink of dark despair. 

100%.  Dalton really did save this team from the abyss.

With Dalton playing, you can legitimately see the vision Dan Morgan had for the offense.  This offense is built for a QB to succeed in, it just happened the guy we drafted to do that simply couldn't.

And here's the thing... the NFL moves on.  The Niners gave up almost as much for Trey Lance as we did BY9.  It didn't work out, and they moved on.

I think Bryce is in the best situation we could be considering everything that has happened.  Let him sit and see if he can develop and regain his confidence.

But the focus right now and for at least the intermediate future should be on Dalton.  He's playing at a very high level.  I have no interest in any other QB right now with how well Dalton is playing.  It's that good.

And Dalton is "only" 36.  I mean that without hyperbole.  Dalton could easily be the starter here for several more seasons given the current circumstances.

Look at late-career Kurt Warner or Carson Palmer.  Hell, Matt Stafford for that matter.  Aaron Rodgers is 4 years older.  My point being Dalton isn't on his last legs.

And that's really what you're looking for as a team, no matter how you get there.

We are still a year away from being truly competitive with the defensive issues & injuries, but you can at least see a plan for the first time in years.

And Dalton is arguably the most important (if not unexpected) piece of that.

All Hail the Red Rifle!!

Agreed, it would be a good story but I am pretty skeptical. The reasons he was not successful are typically hard to fix

Darnold has been streaky before, but I hope he's fixed his decision making issues. Dude has a lot of talent, the problem was always between his ears. Talk about a comeback if he keeps this up, damn

As to Dalton, makes you realize just how much trouble BY has been having in the NFL. Maybe some day BY will have his own redemption story, but for now, it's Red Rifle time.

Lies

 

Baker was playing during that stretch and Wilks took over for Rhule during the middle of the season.

 

What was his record after Wilks took over sir?

 

2024 all lies will get exposed by CamWhoaaCam.

This hand wringing over Sam Darnold is becoming insufferable.

The 49ers cut him too.

Could he suddenly be a legit consistent franchise QB from here on out? I guess. Do I think it's likely? Not really. Let the season play out.

It's coming

Sir I don't know that.

 

With Wilks he was showing you signs of improvement. The problem with Darnold is he had Rhule as his HC. 

 

Once again it wasn't just Darnold who improved once they left. Baker also improved. We had a culture and coaching problem in Carolina.

6-6 would have had us on pace to win the division. Need I remind you of the Bucs record that season 8-9 a losing record!

 

So yeah our chances of making the playoffs with a healthy Darnold and a full season of Wilks definitely improves and damn near a guarantee. The locker room was much better when Wilks was calling the shots.

    • ....Yea, it literally wiped the smile right off Reichs face. We are kind of in the same position as Shitsburgh, looking for a QB.  They keep looking and trying to improve at qb but we just say: 'nah, we good'. The Dipper agenda keeps BY alive. To bad we didn't give Darnold or Mayfield that kind of time, They at least had the tools, skills and attributes of a QB. Its tough to win in the NFL, at least give yourself a chance. 
    • In 2025, he accumulated 59 receptions for 687 yards and 2 touchdowns. Also had 2 return touchdowns.
    • Rashid Shaheed Born: Aug 31, 1998 (27 years) Height and weight: Height 6′ 0″, Weight 180 lbs Current team: Seattle Seahawks (#22 / Wide receiver/kick returner) Rashid Shaheed signed a one-year, $5.2 million extension with the Saints in July 2024, keeping him under contract through the 2025 season with a $1M signing bonus and $4.2M base salary in 2025, before being traded to the Seahawks at the 2025 deadline, making him an Unrestricted Free Agent in 2026.   His initial deal was a 2-year, $6.185M contract with $1M guaranteed through 2025.    Rashid Shaheed's scouting report highlights him as an electrifying, big-play deep threat receiver known for elite efficiency on deep routes, explosive plays, and reliable hands (zero drops over multiple seasons), though he's undersized (around 180 lbs) and needs to improve blocking and route running consistency to shed his "situational/boom-or-bust" label and become a full-time WR1/WR2.     Strengths: Elite Deep Threat: Ranks among the league's best in air yards per target and yards per reception, consistently producing 30+ yard catches and touchdowns. Playmaker: "A playmaker" who excels at making plays downfield and adding a vertical dimension to offenses. Reliable Hands: Showcased impressive ball skills with zero drops over recent seasons, even making contested catches. Efficiency: Finishes high in metrics like yards per route run, demonstrating effective production when targeted. Undrafted Gem: A significant value find for the Saints, proving overlooked prospects can excel.      Areas for Improvement: Size/Blocking: At around 180 lbs, he's smaller and less effective as a blocker, which limited his snaps in New Orleans compared to bigger receivers. Route Running: Needs to develop cleaner routes and better consistency in intermediate areas to earn more targets beyond deep shots. Consistency/Role: Often a "boom-or-bust" or situational player due to volume fluctuations, needing more consistent targets to reach WR1 status.      Role/Projection: Schematic Weapon: Stretches defenses, creating space for other players and opening up the run game, making offenses more efficient. Fantasy Profile: A high-upside FLEX or WR4, capable of winning weeks with big plays but dependent on volume and quarterback play. Future Outlook: His value hinges on earning a larger, more consistent role, potentially becoming a true WR2 with more opportunity and development in blocking/route running.
