Yeah, really no contest there.

A few of us were saying this a couple of weeks ago. Cam made sense just from a backup perspective if Darnold got hurt because PJ was taking us nowhere.

I've been watching the Panthers ge. I'm loaded.

Okudah may never be the same after that injury and if we could somehow package Dante and a pick/mid tier player for Sewell I would do it.

At least he recognizes there's an issue and is seeking help to fix it. Too many times for too many people this ends badly and just gets swept under the rug and forgotten about.

1st quarter but we got hosed by the refs.

If I ordered a can of stickum, think Prime could have it there by the 3rd quarter?

We expressed interest in trading for Watson which could have forced a decision by Goodell to let him play which could have some very serious bad PR for the league. Ref job is our punishment for possibly making Goodell look bad.

7-2 beers to shots by halftime.

I miss Bersin. He couldn't do a lot but his hands were glue.

Players are demanding more and more of their bodies. The harder you push, the more likely you're going to have something break.

Christianson leads the team in sacks preventing 2.5 turnovers.

I wanted Trubisky or Minshew, both of whom could have been had for much less. I'm trying to be supportive of Darnold since he's our QB but damn he can make it difficult.

The way Darnolds been handled is the strangest part of all of this. If we're going to treat him like a rookie, and expect him to perform like one, then having PJ as a backup makes no sense. Darnold would need to sit and learn behind someone or from coaches, which he supposedly lacked with the Jets. You don't go and extend him for 18m as a "rookie". It's like paying bloated contracts to QBs 15 years ago because they were the first pick. That's essentially what we did. If it's possible with all the VR tech out there now, I'm putting Sam in a simulation constantly making him learn to see defenses from the field over and over again. There's only so much you can work on in practices. In some areas we're better than we were, in others well, we know. Coaching players up only goes so far in the NFL. These are all higher end players already and you can only bring them so far. They either have it or they don't.

First 3 games were simple, give it to CMC. Last 4 games, where's CMC?

One thing both of them have going for them is the strength of their olines. That's hard to ignore as an OC and I think it would take someone who has seen the value of calling plays behind a wall rather than a sieve to get us focused on building a respectable line

He's saying he needs to slow his game down and stop being so jumpy. The old adage slow is smooth, smooth is fast comes to mind.

Unless this team finds a new philosophy it will be a long time. We have to prioritize building and maintaining an offensive line.

Oh look. Another Watson thread...

He still may be. We can control only what we can control. It's not like the deadline is in an hour.

Pretty much. Single rich guy in a place where the material from 50 women's bikinis might be enough to make a napkin or Charlotte.

The only way I could see a trade happen including players would be something like this 2022 and 2023 1st DJax YGM Now for the contingencies. If the NFL did choose to suspend Watson for the remainder of this year, we could have the option of voiding the trade and would get the return of 1sts and Houston's 2nd and 4th as compensation for Djax and YGM since they won't likely be able to or want to return. If the suspension took the remainder of this year and the 2022 season or longer and the announcement came after the draft, then we would get 2023 2nd and 3rd, and our 23 1st and their 24 1st. It's risky for both teams but it's the only way I see something like this working given the legal issues surrounding Watson.

Yeah. Given the choice between Miami and Charlotte as a single multi millionaire....

Another Watson thread discretely disguised as Joe Burrow...
