Growl

he hasn’t played remotely well people make it to the nfl all the time without learning the nuances of the position when has a player this deep into their career ever made such sweeping and radical changes to who they are and blossomed into a star

well it hasn’t failed me yet, I wish I could share it so I didn’t have to listen to so many awful shill takes after every terrible decision the team makes

Sam darnold is a verifiable failure, bad opinion

It means he never learned the technical side of the game and was always playing the game as if it was streetball, something that was plainly obvious if you watched him play in any case it’s a better take than someone pretending to be an evaluator on twitter

seth galina @pff_seth Replying to @pff_seth he never really became a quarterback he was always just a high school tight end getting a few snaps as a wildcat quarterback

Josh Norris Retweeted seth galina @pff_seth I always go back to the same thing with Darnold: he never learned to set his feet to the target. It shows up when you start having to throw down the field to moving targets. Darnold ranked 3rd in highest % of uncatchable targets on "horizontal lead" throws beyond 10 yards

they gave up a second round pick-and change-for a verified bust, I then proceeded to lay out other demonstrations for you stop being willfully stupid

Teddy bridgewater was brought into potentially be a steal at the QB position because of his run with New Orleans and his contract reflected that If you still doubt that you’re living in fantasyville

they just traded a haul for an established bust they were going to give a 1st for Matt stafford they were going to give the entire team for watson they were well within striking distance of a rookie QB if they still draft one, then this trade is even dumber

wow so maybe you’ve checked out this offseason but it turns out it’s a deep class of QBs within general striking distance of the Panthers

Ding ding ding the team believes they just stole an elite all pro caliber QB (or worse, don’t feel as if having one is essential) having to watch the rookie QBs go star elsewhere is going to sting a lot hope you guys don’t have any incriminating posts making fun of bears fans for passing on Watson or mahomes because now we’re very much in danger of it

You just bypassed a chance to go out and get an actual upside QB prospect If said prospect develops into a star, you will be held to account for that nobody cares about this trade if they end up with a rookie QB, the reality is that it’s unlikely

lol we aren’t actually 1-2 seasons away under the aforementioned pretense, that’s the point

Finally remembered your password

is this a joke or just a bad strawman why were the other QB needy teams jockeying for highly touted rookie QBs and not Sam darnold

you’re a sucker

“Just 1-2 seasons away guys!”

Recurring theme

The staff needs to understand exactly what they just did: this isn’t just an exploratory move on a possible reclamation project theyve staked their career on this if Sam Darnold isn’t a pro bowl QB and another QB in our range is-they should be gone rhule can go back to coaching amateur ball

every great and up and coming QB in the league plays in the afc, unless you like Daniel Jones or kyler Murray more than most people do, they all play in the afc the panthers had this insane opportunity presented to them to take a chance on the only long term star QB in the conference and they just did this no foresight now just as there wasn’t with the teddy signing

the team has done a good job concealing who is the driving force behind these decisions marty got fired so Marty got blamed for bridgewater, but here we are digging our heels in somebody in the organization is pushing this kind of thing maybe our college head coach has college head coach syndrome and thinks these guys are just a little bit of Coach ‘Em Up away from greatness maybe joe Brady wants to prove he can make somebody great or maybe Dave tepper is a hedge fund manager who doesn’t understand the national football league We’ll know eventually and I can’t wait to lambast them for it

Probably need a WR after Robbie Anderson asks for a trade

There can’t possibly be another team in the league paying as much money to terrible QBs than we are

maybe you’re right ive seen this novel before time makes more converts than reason

And you’re the mouth breathing cheese wheezer who will be sitting here next offseason talking yourself into a really promising 4th round QB prospect with some upside and espousing the glories of “trusting the process” while our division rivals aim for star rookie QBs who will dominate the division
