No doubt but the way they went about it made sense. And its not like they didn't sign Perryman. The dude just didn't want to play here. Burris is an alright safety. With the emphasis on the corners and pass rush I can see where they think they can get away with lesser talents in other positions. O-line needs work. But the weapons are there. I think they were expecting to be able to move the chains like last year and let the defense pin their ears back. Sam is a problem. But unlike Rivera, we are seeing draft strategy come to fruition and actual attempts to address problems instead of relying on Cam and the GOAT MLB to call your defense.

Rivera would have been canned in year 3 without Cam Newton. At least Rhule appears to know how to build a roster. Even if we are sucking ass right now, its still more refreshing then a rehash of Fox ball.

We're one tackle, one center, and Sam Darnold becoming a good QB away.

I'd love to see it but Tepper has too much pride to do it .

At this point he would have showed more positive signs despite the team injuries. He’s making mistakes that franchise QBs don’t make at any stage. He’s out there throwing dumb dumb picks. Dude is Shane Falco without the badass redemption arc. Even if we were at full strength Darnold was going to be tested at some point. And since we can’t mask his flaws he’s just going ahead and showing us he’s going to hold the team back.

It was a gamble and they lost man. There’s your explanation.

Wonder if that’s a Brady problem or a Darnold doesn’t know enough plays problem.

True. And we'll also give the refs another reason to screw us over.

Unless Tepper has done some deep digging and has good reason to believe this scandal is a nothing burger, I want no part of it. It’s sets a bad example and reeks of desperation. Character should matter. If there’s any credibility to these stories then it sends a wrong message to the fans. I also feel it will cost us too much. We have some serious home grown blue chip players emerging. And we’ll just make more holes to fill in trading them. Love the talent, and if the allegations are all BS then by all means trade for him. But I don’t see how we win if he gets charged and or banned from playing.

Watson would be a horrible PR move and gut the team of talent we need to keep.

Honestly Kyle has had better moments than Sam at this point. Kyle isn’t that bad though he just doesn’t have the size and physical talent. Heineke was is pretty solid but you can tell he’s one play away from IR

Not disputing that at all at this point. His overall game was terrible but the final drive from last week was the best thing we’ve seen him do and I think that was just him being forced to sling it without thinking. Maybe those were the kind of throws that gave Rhule hope about him.

He has great arm talent that’s about it at this point. He can’t take advantage of it though because of his nerves and slow progression through his reads. It’s not all his fault but he’s showing that he’s not the type that can elevate the team.

I have no doubt if we had CMC and Horn we would be looking at 5-2. But today was a huge loss in spirit and I don’t think the guys are playing as hard anymore. I know that’s speculation but we only put up 3 points against what was the worst team in the NFL. Just seems like Rhule and the staff bought into their own hype and thought confidence was enough to get over some of the adversity we’ve faced.

His interception and short throw misses were inexcusable though. He’s making mistakes that a scared highschool QB makes. He’s a professional athlete. There’s only so much coddling we can do for him. If he can’t lead the team then he’s no good to us. I’ll admit he gave me a lot of hope off his last drive last week but he just doesn’t provide any consistency at all.

Darnold just requires far too much coddling for where we are as a team right now. He’s in his 3rd or 4th year now . We have to be able to see something from him. He’s not a rookie.

I don't want Watson until all his drama is cleared up. Character matters.

Lmao

It’s too much to ask. Having CMC, Shaq, and Gilmore would help but the team is too limited by the QB and OL.

Who knows how that will go though. The more Tepper bitches the less effective it gets.

It’s not about PJ being the guy though. It’s trying to be competitive and not let Sam continue to blow the game

Heads are gonna roll over this one

They absolutely did Cam dirty. He deserved a shot with the new coach. And if we sucked we would have been in position to draft a QB. But we wasted last year with a phantom QB in Teddy Bridgewater and then Sam Darnold. Cam looked 10 times better in preseason than anything we’ve had since he left.

CMC might even want to be traded at this point

Anderson is fugging trash
