Yeah, well we will see if he was purely a former player connect or he actually is capable of being an NFL backup QB.

Flying from St. Louis to ATL, then driving to the asshole of the earth GA. Asshole of the earth GA food options are limited, especially on Sunday.

Yeah, then he set it to auto-draft. But, his biggest hits were also in the high probability of a win part of the 1st round.

That's excellent news for us.

The problem is that Rhule and Co. don't seem to subscribe to this theory, which is a real problem. How a staff full of highly paid coaches and football experts talked themselves into such an obviously bad player while a third or more of the keyboard warriors on this board could figure out Darnold was a bust, it pretty fuging damning. As many of us have said, when you keep seeing these moves(Darnold, Erving, Elflein, Whitehead, etc) it speaks to an issue Panthers fans have with them.....hubris. They believe they can just identify untapped potential as if they are high school recruits. That doesn't work in the NFL.

The PJ Walker situation is going to be really interesting. Not expecting a win but want to see if we had justification for him being on the roster(or even starting over Darnold).

When Marty Hurney is better than you at evalution.....oof.

Head hunt that dad bod bitch.

I wanted him back for that last year because I wanted to believe he wasn't done. The truth is, it wouldn't have helped him much nor would it have helped us much. But, like you said, the decision was amplified by the bad Teddy contract and then the trade/5th year option for Sam fuging Darnold. Hindsight is always tough but it wasn't that hard to not make the bad decisions that we DID make. That is what ended up being so upsetting.

I am impressed you remember college.

I am assuming this is the 18 month IR?

Unlikely hypothetical but if he is just out there crushing it and commanding the offense, you gotta keep playing the hot hand. But, if we do see that, the questions about the staff's ability to evaluate that position get even louder. You had most of the season you could have started him and didn't. I think after Sunday most will see why he HASN'T been playing and it will anger fans more that he is even on the roster at all.

I think the thing missing most is that Gase wasn't even the OC for Darnold's entire career. One of the 4 Rush guys has repeatedly said something that I agree with. All the discussions around Sam Darnold revolve around excuses why he isn't successful. Bad coaching, bad OL, no weapons, still learning, mono, injuries, etc. Yet, all his flaws he had at USC up until now are still there. Bad turnovers, bad decisions, inability to read the field. That stuff has ALWAYS BEEN PRESENT. So how is it our "braintrust" thought they could see something that was so apparent after so much film and so little improvement? As a friend of mine once quipped, "Potential just means you haven't done poo, yet." Well here we sit almost 4 years into not doing poo. That idea of potential had long since evaporated. I shudder to think about these guys picking QB or OL in the draft. They really don't seem to have any idea what they are doing.

I hope that was a lie.

I mean...given the specific situation, it was a little odd.

poo...told me??? I for sure believe that the WR corps is much happier now.

To an extent, I agree. However, he has been scheming dudes open too. Imagine Cam just hitting open WR's from the pocket. What if that happens instead?

Well, our IOL was much stronger when Cam was here(Kalil for instance). It has actually taken a dive from when he was here last.

I would actually like to see us NOT change our offense any to see how much lies on the scheme. We don't have much to lose, see how Brady's scheme looks under QB #4. If it has the same issues as Teddy, PJ and Darnold.....bye bye Joe.

CJ is a TBD because he was fairly cheap. Very well could turn into a bust but perhaps he pans out to be a solid starting caliber CB even if he isn't elite. If so, it was a good pick up. I am not gonna jump off the cliff QUITE yet on Henderson because he doesn't have 3 years of bad film like Darnold did.

Robby's "attitude?" You do realize he has basically been the only one showing any real emotion when the offense isn't playing well, right? So, you would rather get rid of the guy that isn't just sitting down and taking it? That's like saying you would want to dump Cam or Steve Smith because they have an "attitude" problem on the sidelines. I can understand the frustration with his performances but not the shots at his "attitude."
