Watching Darnold tonight it is obvious he is not very mobile. I will take Bryce over Darnold every day. Minnesota is a very good team. No way I give hm  big contract. I want him to succeed, but if he goes to New York it will be Aaron Rogers 2. 

He's decently mobile he just really struggles when you force him to think. He freezes up and then starts to panic. When he gets into "rabbit brain" mode even when he sees it he usually sails it high. It feels like the pick six is coming...

He's been much better at Minnesota at avoiding that stuff, I think Oconnell settles him down somehow.

I think remember seeing he even got a life coach kinda person for these habits the last couple years.

Bizarre game. The defenses are dominating but both teams are playing on offense like they're going to have to score 40+ to win tonight. The first team to get their head out of their ass and start playing ball control, grind it out defensive game offense might win this one

 

Yeah like after that Vikings pick, plenty of time to run the ball or play action/qb scramble. Why they just did vanilla drop backs with Darnold obviously targeting Jefferson I dunno

They've only run the ball six times. It's crazy. Your QB has a history of mentally unraveling and they're blitzing the poo out of him and you're just passing like crazy.

The NFL has the best football minds on the planet but man... sometimes they do some really dumb situational stuff.

Yup, I think that Oconnell was  trying to force Darnold to settle down with passes - but I think the way to do it is with the run game and play action

This drive has had a healthy dose of run game, I think the Vikings are realizing what is going on in this game lol

    • They know within 15 mins.  Many moons ago skins drafted Heath Shuler at like 5th overall and Gus Frerotte in the late rounds. You know the plan, its Heaths team. Old OLman stink said within 15 minutes they knew Gus was the better QB.  I didn't need 15 or players on the same field, I just knew like Bill said "he better walk on water", which he hasn't. I do blame tepper mainly for it, he spend the greater part of 2 year telling everyone Watson would be a panther......and fail....but a great fail...then Stanford turned panthers down.....tepper was beyond pissed and wanted a QB. He forced the trade and picked BY......and now by .....some grace of the gods formed a team with 4 QBs of no hope...... insane given the other roster spots.....
    • He definitely knows nothing about the Panthers, but there’s no denying he’s a pioneer in this whole draft grading and mock draft field.
    • I actually say wait five years since that's long enough to know if a player  became something worthy enough for a long term contract, whether with their original team or someone else. Therefore... 1 (8): Jaycee Horn - Has been questions about his durability but when he's healthy, he plays at a high level. Should we have drafted Pat Surtain or Micah Parsons, however? Arguably could’ve done better, but he's still here so that's a W pick. 2 (59): Terrance Marshall - Yet another classic Panther WR bust. I don’t recall seeing anything in his college tape that made me excited about drafting him in the first place.  3 (70): Brady Christensen - Proved to be a versatile player on the O-line.  As of now, we haven’t signed him back and I feel that we should. That's enough to say he was a solid draft pick. 3 (83): Tommy Tremble - Hasn't emerged as a consistent productive player, but he's had his moments here and there. We can certainly do better, but we haven’t found that guy yet so he still has some utility. W because he's not Ian Thomas. 4 (126): Chuba Hubbard - Surprise of the draft. It took time, but he's now our lead back.  5 (158): Daviyon Nixon - Had a half a sack with us and... that's it. I think I liked what I saw but it didn't pan out. 5 (166): Keith Taylor - Another guy I liked but only stuck around for two years. Played for a few other teams but nothing really to note. 6 (193): Deonte Brown - I really thought this guy was going to be a steal. He might’ve been the guy that had weight issues and never really got a handle on it. 6 (204): Shi Smith - He scored double the touchdowns that Marshall did in his short time here; it was two. Yeah, the Panthers wide receiver history is rather bleak. 6 (222): Thomas Fletcher - I had to look it up but he was a long snapper. JJ Jansen is immortal, so it was a wasted draft pick. 7 (232): Phil Hoskins - Actually recorded a sack here in his short career. Wish I could remember it.   Surprisingly not a bad draft when you have two good/great starters and a JAG that's still here, plus a good rotation guy most would like to keep.
