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?

He always has had fanboys here for whatever reason. Nice enough guy, don't get me wrong, but he is who he is.

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

He just seems destined for the tag. If you're the Vikings you definitely don't want to let him walk for a 3rd round comp pick and you haven't seen enough from the guy you just drafted in the 1st to feel comfortable he's your guy either.

That is the most likely scenario.

Yeah, I think it's like a $40M tag...He'll have at least one playoff game to redeem this performance but that's gonna be a tough call for the Vikings. Risk letting him walk or just coughing up that much for a one year possible bridge

Tonight feels like a classic example of two career JAG QBs who have put up gaudy numbers but the you get reminded that... oh wait, these dudes really are JAGs.

Goff is a second tier QB, IMO. The Cousins/Ryan bracket. But is Achilles heel has been producing when the lights are bright.

Darnold is a backup QB.

    • Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.   
    • Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying. 
    • Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
