Also, it’s not obvious from the graphic shown but Young is actually represented. He’s just off the chart in the negative to the bottom left…

Those two games he played might have been the worst two-game stretch of QB play in league history, no hyperbole. Using the eye test it would be hard for me to say otherwise.

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.

I always said Darnold was better than people thought here. I'm glad to see him doing so well.

it's a lot easier to play QB when you have the best WR in the game on the field. 

but Sam Darnold has to get to the 2nd half of the season.  Or really the middle of the season.  At this time in Carolina.....Panther fans were calling for him to win MVP.

A lot of people are going to see that Darnold is riding an unsustainable luck streak. If you do a deep dive in the stats, it sticks out like a sore thumb. Same with watching games live. He is about 4-6 INT's short of what he should be at.

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.

Sam was solid here for the first few weeks before McCaffrey got hurt then the wheels came off. He could easily fall apart in MN too, and reality is MN has elite offensive coaching and personnel including the best WR in the league. Sam has been great and credit to him, I like him, but based on what we had seen from him here letting him go was not a bad decision. Honestly Dalton so far this year has looked better than Sam ever did here -- small sample size of course and Dalton is much older but still I have no regrets about letting Darnold or Mayfield walk.

Darnold/Wilks took over and damn near got us to the playoffs.

 

He loss to Tom Brady lol with the playoffs on the line.

 

We had a good thing and Tepper blew it up for a damn midget QB.

Pining after the Darnold era is peak desperation. This is your personal rock bottom as a Panthers fan. That was so far from a good thing it's laughable.

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!

Well Dalton has proved it and was the guy for a long time in Cincinnatti. Quite a difference.

You would not have gotten Dalton in like, his year three for what they spent on Darnold (and he wasn't that bad a deal until they did that option thing before its time).

It isn't a comparison until Darnold becomes the guy somewhere. But Sam Darnold has tools. Serious NFL level tools. And has played well in stretches. Actually has shown all the qualities you look for, just not at the same time. But you see them, at least.

Andy is killing it and I was listening to him talk to the media people and he has given it up a few times and I've never heard people describe how he works until him, that I remember.

His thing with timing is, it sounds like, throwing to the spot and reverse engineering how that is going to work between him and the receiver. 

Paraphrasing, I know you will be in that spot, ands will get open to get there. I'm not good reteller but I'll post the example. This isn't the first time he has said things about how it works. 

He has the ability to throw to a specific place with the trust in the receiver to be there when the ball is. So that's his game. He could not look this good without the protection he's getting, fwiw. 

You can't use the same spots the same way or you're predictable, but I am seeing Canales' hand in this poo too. I like the way both of them seem to see the game. 

 

oh yeah here is the video.

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
