I might be giving players the benefit of doubt but I feel like there's a development window a lot of young guys have, and if it's missed due to bad coaching or whatever they get stunted badly in the NFL. I hope that's not the case for Terrace but it's looking like that way

I disagree but that's because I don't really count Darnold's first stint for various reasons. DA throwing a pick on the opening play is pretty low. Darnold had a couple of genuine dimes and even a Newtonian escape from pressure yesterday.

Darnold solidified himself as the veteran/backup/stopgap for me. He's like a notch above Derek Anderson. He can't carry but he's an effective game manager when the pass protection holds up.

Wilks deserves consideration, maybe even to be the default choice if we aren't impressed with anyone else, but I think he lost the job not being able to contain Evans. The secondary is supposed to be his bag and he dropped it. If he doesn't have great offensive or defensive prowess he's just a respected locker room personality.

Being emotionally invested but only finding joy in winning is an unhealthy way to be a sports fan.

Complications with my daughter's birth in 2020 led to her having a stroke only a few weeks old and almost losing her. I learned to take nothing in life for granted. Cherish all the joys life brings because they aren't guaranteed and they can be taken away from you at anytime. The Panthers are a trivial one in the grand scheme of it all. If watching football and following this team through thick and thin doesn't entertain you there's better uses of your time.

Time to see whether Sam can keep his cool or if the ghosts come back

It’s mostly for the events. For the soccer team it’s only about the aesthetic of faded lines, it’s not a big deal. Richest owner in the league just needs to stop being cheap.

I thought we all hated the turf we should be celebrating this. Unless there’s some sort of mandated upkeep the team neglected they wouldn’t have filed a grievance over grass being too hard.

LFG what a reel

Of course when I start watching less Williams arrives

This. I'd prefer Richardson over Levis but ultimately I just want the coaching staff committed to developing whoever they choose.

Christian just wants the ball as much as possible and Rhule's the best man for that job. From Shaq's comments I take it Rhule pushed the old guard aside to assert his authority while giving his favorites free reign to do whatever. Robby was allowed to act out unchecked and Christian got the ball every snap whether it was working or not.

We're going to have to bite the bullet on a short term deal with Sam. Even with a draft pick and Corral there's too much uncertainty at the position to just let him walk, we'd likely replace him with another vet anyway.

Only thing that's changed with Sam is he trusts his pass protection for the first time in his career. He may get better naturally as his confidence grows but McAdoo is doing the same sort of system we've been trying to implement since Cam's exit, it's just working now because we have an offensive line worth a damn.

The head start is a huge advantage for him. Hire an outside coach and at least one year is going to be spent getting acclimated and rebuilding if not two.

they benched him to the shadow realm lmao

Would bring some poetic closure to our first Super Bowl. Beat him straight up though. Rooting for harm is wack and do you really want to hear “WHAT IF BRADY HADN'T GOTTEN INJURED” for the rest of eternity?

I’m out if this happens it’s been real fellas. Extra gross because kids love LaMelo and he’ll be a gateway to rooting for an abuser.

yikes

The intensity in which some of ya’ll don’t want to give Corral a chance is freaking weird. May I remind you that Sam Darnold is the alternative.

hey I know that place

Cam went 15-2 with Ted Ginn Jr and a small forward as his primary options

Kelly's shot selection is awful but high volume shooters aren't unsual. This is an average season for him and his career FG% is around Kobe's and higher than Iverson's.
