If CMC comes back healthy I would try to sign Sherman.

LOL at “metatarsal area” as the location. Is it tarsometatarsal? Base? Shaft? I need more than this.

I’d say based on a non contact foot fracture it’s probably a 5th metatarsal and I’d rather it be that than a LisFranc.

I’m gonna make the prediction that Burns and Brown break through as All Pro DL. Reddick makes the pro bowl.

Yup. It’d be less money (maybe equal money), higher taxes, higher living expenses…..program that has been a dumpster fire. Poor choice to leave imo. I would also not want to be on the other side of Tepper after tearing up the last 5 years of a 6 year contract. Gonna say that if Rhule did they he could kiss any future pro coaching aspirations after USC goodbye.

Officially a game time decision but just had thumb surgery. I’m guessing he’s going to be held out. I can’t believe he’s considered questionable.

Saints - 21 Panthers - 24 The Brees era is finally over. Imo he is a 20-pt advantage in the dome. I think they would have put up 41 on us in the same situation last year. But Jameis gonna Jameis and I think we get a couple picks, short field, points off turnovers. Their defense is good but the TOs make the difference. Darnold - Steady again - 24/34 295 yards, 2 TDs; No INTs Jameis - Throwback Jameis - 39/55, 330 yards, 2 INTs, 2 TD, 5 sacks. CMC - 140 total yards DJ/Robby - Combine for 200 yards in the air and 2 TDs. Burns/Reddick - 3.5 sacks. Horn - 1 INT - balls out to send a message to daddy’s former team.

He’s a huge Darnold fan. Thought he should have gone #1 overall. So not surprising he’s riding with Darnold in a better situation.

The shoulder duck shimmy to the left to avoid the rush followed by a 57 yard off balance bomb to Anderson was probably the best throw I’ve seen by a Panthers QB since 2015. Nice to have someone who can move AND has necessary arm strength.

I would say Joe Brady needs to figure out how to get the ball in the end zone with a top receiver, league MVP at running back, AND Darnold…then he may have his pick of jobs.

Isn’t he a NE guy? I mean I get that he coached in Texas why would anyone think USC would interest him? They’ve had like 5 coaches (pretty good ones too) since Pete Carroll and have been a dumpster fire. I mean maybe if PSU fired Franklin and then came calling….

You mean like………Jameis?

I wonder how many of those pass rush wins were purely because of CMC play action? How are you that bad with a threat like him in the backfield?

Our score was closer than the game. Solve the RZ woes and it’ll be fine. Didn’t even have to be TDs…just points at all. One more TD and a FG makes the score 29-14. Not particularly close. That would be TDs on 50% of the RZ trips which still isn’t great. I also like our chances of getting Jameis rattled early with him coming off a big win. I’m gonna say 17-3 at halftime. CAR holds on to win 26-24 with a sack/TO on downs as JW is trying to drive to win.

I think the flow of the game is going to be a lot like the Jets game. Low scoring. Whoever can run effectively and doesn’t turn it over will win.

Agreed. If you’re going to go for it inside of 2 yards to gain then split CMC out (or take him out altogether) and put a short yardage back in the game. Not everything has to be disguised and I think that’s what they want in a way with CMC on those downs/distance. “You don’t know if he’s gonna run or catch.” Sometimes you just have to line up and push the other team off the spot.

Is our line much better?

11-6

Darnold is a 250 yard/game game manager who never turns the ball over and our defense is Denver 2015 good. CMC is good for 200 APY every game.

There is no way we’re resigning him if Marshall or Shi show promise. I expect him to have another pretty good year. He’s going to be 29 though. So, I could see him cashing in on two good years with Brady and getting a 4 year deal for his last contract. Won’t be with the Panthers tho. So makes sense if Fitterer is trying to build to get something for him.

Fitterer is about to build a monster. If Horn and Darnold hit then this the Panthers are going to be a problem...

This is when analytics goes too far. I could argue that the Horn pick could have been one of the most important picks in the last decade if: Horn is a lockdown corner (very possible) and Darnold is a future top 10 Qb (also possible. Not as likely. But possible). Basically if Darnold is a 4500 yard, 30TD, 10 or less Int player with this team then the pick solidifies the Panthers as a future monster in the NFC much like the Hawks were with the Legion. Imo other than Lawrence, Darnold has just as much potential boom as any other QB in this class. Combine that with the EXTREMELY rare traits for Horn...it was the right pick.

The Saints are going to be garbage. Brees made that team. The Falcons are going to be the Falcons. If Darnold is able to live up to expectations this team will be competing with TB for the South.

I don’t understand why people are down on this pick? Consensus was that Horn and Surtain were head and shoulders better than every other DB in the draft. Our corners SUCK. We just filled a need with the best position player in the class who’s getting compared to Jalen Ramsay. I think he is going to take our D from good to elite. Then...if Darnold sucks and we need to draft a QB you’re drafting a QB into a situation where there is an elite defense behind him and a bunch of talent on offense. Basically a perfect situation. Build the team then get the QB...or maybe we have him already?

I think Darnold could have a very Romo-like career here. Imo Romo lacked some elite pieces around him specifically on defense. It seemed like the Cowboys always gave him pretty good weapons but there was never an elite defense that could carry him in an off game. If you solve that for Darnold then he could have a really productive career here.
