I have barely skimmed this site in the last 24 hours cause I truly think the Tinderbox is the more emotionally stable forum than the main Panthers' forum at this point...so maybe I've just overlooked all these Darnold fanboys. Are "Darnold fanboys" simply people who say he is only part of the problem rather than the sole problem? Or are there actually people who say he is flawless and that this season is everyone's fault except his? Personally I think our o-line is far and away the biggest problem for our offense...followed by Darnold's play and Brady's playcalling being neck-and-neck for the other culprits to our offensive woes. Is that an unreasonable assessment? I feel like 98% of the board would agree with that...

Is that including Rhule’s drop?

Why stop at Thursday Night games? I think the average Huddler's wet dream would be if we could just forfeit like 3-4 consecutive seasons and stockpile a bunch of premium draft picks. Then reconvene for the ~2025 season.

Psh, they call these *bold* predictions? The DJ Moore one is probably the "boldest" among them, but predicting that our #1 receiver (who is having a dominant year and is receiving the lion's share of targets from Darnold) is going to put up huge numbers still ain't exactly bold. The Chuba one is even a little disrespectful to consider it bold to predict that Chuba has a "modest" (their word) 80 yards and 1 TD. These all seem more like statistical likelihoods than bold predictions.

Hurts to Ertz is the new (wannabe*) Darnold to Arnold...R.I.P. Hopefully we do a better job slowing down their TEs than we did with Schultz in Dallas last week.

This is reading a little like fanfic...he didn't get stuck in the condo's dryer, did he?

Hey at least she was up front about her red flag(s) on her profile. Better than being a few dates in before finding out she’s…a Cowboys fan.

This kinda feels like me filling out my March Madness bracket when I don't watch a lick of college basketball but still feel the need to pick some obligatory upsets. I mean I get that picking US would technically be the upset if we're going off of Vegas odds, but these picks are really lopsided when in reality it should probably be fairly close to a 50/50 toss-up on paper.

Lol @ Gregory Randy. I guess that’s what happens when you’re cursed with two first names.

And those were all the same experts who, after we destroyed them, said "Well of course they won! Saints were down 827 starters".

If he's an introvert who just wants to be left alone, then the good news is that for 4 quarters every Sunday...him and his receiver will be left alone on CJ Island

Best pass rush in NFL history is more accurate! #ProudHomer

That sucks…so we’re not gonna get a shot at all those All-Pro o-linemen that teams are gonna cut mid-season

I think there's definitely some truth to this. How many sacks have we gotten where someone comes through completely unblocked? Hell, for how good Brian Burns is, I'm fairly sure all 3 of his sacks were unblocked. As someone else mentioned, props to Snow's scheme in confusing the opposing offense.

Torn Achilles for Mack last year: CMC a couple weeks away from returning: 4th round pick (Hubbard) looked improved in the second half against the Texans: Meh...I get the apprehension about our running game with CMC out, but this would be somewhat of a panic-trade. CMC should be back soon and we drafted a talented RB who deserves some playing time to see what he's got. Besides, if Mack is seeking a trade for "opportunity elsewhere"...then this ain't the place for him considering CMC gets like 47 touches a game when he's on the field.

We have what looks to be the most dominant defense in the league through 3 weeks and you're complaining that we traded away some bum linebacker who never made it onto the field? Good riddance...I'd say we're doing okay without him. Who cares?

Pre-coffee Posting Syndrome is a serious condition that afflicts 12,000 Huddlers a week. That's why I try to pause and employ some compassion and charitability every time I read a post on here that makes me go "Wtf??" (roughly every 27 seconds, on average).

There’s only one person who can help CJ…

For once, we're trading for a JAG and I'm excited about it.

Meh…even if he was kinda complimentary of Sam in a roundabout way, he still constantly felt the need to qualify it with “I’m not saying he’s great” and “he’s no Andrew Luck” (seriously? We’re still making Andrew Luck comparisons?). Definitely came across as more anti-Baker than pro-Sam. And the “only bottom-10 pass blocking o-line with a winning record” would be a pretty damn compelling stat if it wasn’t Week 3.

Laremy Tunsil is supposedly a dang good LT too. Reddick made him look straight up silly on a couple of those.

85.9 PFF rating for whoever cares I am pretty sure I also heard either last night or in Week 2 that he was the highest rated LB in coverage this season. That's a relief since it would always seem in previous seasons that we gave up way too many easy passes to the TE and RB.

I remember one of the commentators last night calling him "one of the best LBs in the league" or maybe even "THE best LB in the league"...can't remember their wording but I remember being kinda caught off guard that he's got that kind of reputation.

This isn't really Dr. Peon's field of medicine and I have a feeling he's not going to flex his med school rotation in orthopedics to present himself as a subject matter expert since he's a responsible medical professional, but I'll let him speak for himself.
