Yeah, Darnold making some ridiculous play or a dumb int is the X-factor in this sort of game

If people had watched him actually play this year they would know he is still the same guy. He just has a fugload of weapons that are typically wide open more often than they are not. Also, he has literally turned the ball over 16 times in 16 games. And that is a career low.

Yeah this game might single handedly ruin his chances of getting a $200M contract. JJ went down so early it's really tough to say if Darnold would have actually beat him out for the starting job all season

Eh....Darnold is a backup caliber QB and Goff is a known choker. This isn't mega surprising.

Well those of us that watched Darnold play in NY and here knew that it was unlikely he would fully turn the page on what held him back from being a franchise QB despite having every tool needed. When things get tough he panics and reverts to the same old same old. It's on tape over and over and over.

But still even some Panthers fans here have bought into the hype this season. Even had a guy here who just started posting in September dig up some posts of me criticizing Darnold for a game just like this saying I was wrong about him. @Joe Bear you watching the game buddy?

I mean, I never honestly bought into him getting a mega contract. I don't think many teams out there would be willing to pay him that aren't QB desperate.

    • That is probably a good point that I did not consider. It doesn’t force their hand financially, to declare early. 
    • Realistically he's probably not still going to be under contract when hes good to go again? Unfortunately for him you cant sign him for more than a small one year deal until he can prove hes still a good player... that might not happen.  I think hes played his last down as a panther.
    • It has been going down that backyard ball road with the QBs a long time. It also has made it more difficult to evaluate OL for the pro game.    I agree though that the NIL is making it even worse. Then they get in the league and suck, coaches get fired. Here comes a new system every year for some of them, same as you are talking about in college.    Unfortunately, IMO, the league has responded by taking the path of least resistance offensively.    The only saving grace for the QB problem we identified here is the slotted salaries out of the draft. No more 100 million rookie deals. Which today would be 250 million and even more.  So to me, paying a player that doesn’t bring success in the first two or three years, you can’t do it. Better to take another shot in the draft or reclaim someone else's failure. Given that all staffs are not equal. Look what Shanahan did with Purdy for instance. And their getting off of Lance quickly.    In theory if Canales is a QB whisperer type, which we don’t know he isn’t at least to a higher degree than many (not including the established masters) we should be quicker on the trigger with these QBs. If Bryce doesn’t show out next year we really need to hit the reset.
