Growl

no, the original point was that you can’t build a consistent winner with these types of players anymore, you could highlight Denver as an isolated example, which I’ll say is fair, but the problem is that Denver moved on from that guy promptly whereas the panthers just made that guy the face of their team

if that’s so, then that player promptly retired because he wasn’t good enough to play in the national football league anymore the panthers just made “that guy” their Franchise

nick files is better than Sam darnold and he wasn’t even their starter

Their statistical production was nigh identical one was a legend with full mastery of the mental side of the game and still contributed to Denver’s team and a competent offense the other is a never was and one of the biggest draft busts in recent memory who has captained some of the worst offenses in the league not really the same thing

I am not sure anyone inside the organization has any idea what they’re doing at this point it feels like doing something was the point

lol did you just compare peyton manning to Sam darnold

Implicit to your remark is that you aren’t building a consistent winner with this approach i honestly can’t even remember the last time a guts and glory team even won a super bowl in an isolated fashion It doesn’t work anymore, and yet, it’s what we’re hoping to build here

“jake type player” isn’t good enough to win Super Bowls anymore

at this point we just have to hope for the best and by best I mean him failing his physical and the deal collapsing

it isn’t about the picks the loss of draft capital is just a secondary irritation (one that will be made worse when they inevitably go chasing replacement picks) it’s about the team doubling down on the same predictable mistake they just made and bypassing the rare opportunity to acquire a legitimate high end prospect in the draft

teams that refuse to learn will burn season after season making the same mistake and you and I will be the ones who have to pay for it not literally though, I’m definitely well past doing that

Absolutely, chances on high end QB prospects are rare.,and given the terrain of the NFC the panthers had quite an opportunity to obtain one and be the only team in the conference with a king term option there instead they’ll chase another failure and hope to defy the odds by turning him into a star (presumably because Matt rhule really liked Sam darnold as a personality from that one time they met on skype)

If only you understood basic sentence structure

okay whose alt is this

I don’t care

I meant their actual performance and registered production and not whatever weirdo metric you’re using

seems sexist if you ask me

you mean besides their documented on field performance

I hate when the team makes predictably terrible moves and forces the lot of you and myself to endure the byproducts of those said decisions despite the obvious consequences being obvious well in advance it’s you abused housewives who line up to lap it down that I feel bad for

this again some of you are some real masochists

He won’t

Teddy Bridgewater is a better QB than Sam Darnold

you have to be a certifiable idiot to give a guy with two seasons of nfl experience and a clear propensity for Feel Goods control over your roster

The bears looked at Sam darnold and Andy dalton and took The Line

I felt rhule had a collection of genuine strengths that needed a strong hand from ownership so as not to not allow him to fall into the traps that so many college coaches fall into then we gave him personnel control and here we are
