Yeah, if we merely had a competent veteran, I'd be more inclined to start piling on Brady exclusively. I agree he is PART of the problem, I just am unsure how much of it because Darnold is so terrible.

That's the problem, you are in your head creating scenarios that aren't there. Cam is DEFINITELY a better QB than anything on our roster now. Even the Broke Armed Cam is better than those guys.

We think they want to build for the long term but they make so many moves that seem very "short term" oriented. I am not sure they really understand the "long haul" strategy.

We need to fix the QB and the OL. Without those, Super Bowl caliber is off the table. We also need to retain our core players and get them more experience. Let's say we can accomplish all of those goals. I would think that is a minimum of 2 seasons away and that is if everything goes perfectly for us. Realistically, if things STILL go well, 3-5 seasons.

Yet somehow he has been able to complete 65.9% of his passes with competent OC's. How strange.......... We get it, you don't like him. Get over it.

We get some key defensive players back this week, so it will be a little closer, IMO. Falcons 24, Panthers 10 7 of 10 Panthers points come from a short field forced by the defense.

I mean PBWR, DVOA, Adjusted Sack Rate, etc, etc. We aren't last in any of them. Trust me, I have checked. Like I said, I want to see these other teams just to know how much worse it can be.

The difference between your statement and mine is that mine included actual facts, yours were loaded with "feels." I get it, you hate Cam with a passion because maybe he touched you inappropriately or something.

Have you watched Teddy in Denver much? Spoiler alert....looks a lot like he did here.

You know.....we aren't last in any pass blocking measurement available. Sort of boggles the mind when you watch the team play. Maybe I will watch the teams below us this week just to see how bad it can get.

They are better in run blocking than pass blocking. The stats and metrics back that up.

I think I like Pickett as the best of the bunch. Obviously, lower ceiling than most of the prospects but a lot higher floor. Corral.....I just can't get into him. Ridder I kind of like. Not 1st round like but I wouldn't be upset if we got him in the 2nd or 3rd(yes, I know those are phantom picks for us).

I mean, I didn't have to do anything but watch you melt down over absolutely nothing.

In the last 31 starts(across his last two years with the Panthers and his season with New England) he was a 65.9% passer. Cam got the rap as an inaccurate passer because we had OC's that set up QB's to complete less passes. He doesn't have a job because we broke him and he would get the vaccine. Make not mistake, even broken Cam is far better than what we currently have.

I would be interested to see something different only to see if the issue is Brady. We may very well find out the issue is only Darnold or we may find out Rhule is far worse. At this point....I just want to see something different.

Rhule was the OC at Temple while he was HC, so he actually has more experience than Brady does. As to if he is an upgrade....eh....I get the feeling like we will soon find out.

Eh, I am not gonna say that he cannot improve or get better. Everyone wanted Sean McVay but his meteoric rise is the exception and not the rule. Brady has a total of 2 years of NFL coaching experience prior to getting this OC gig. This job was probably just a bridge too far at this stage in his career. It's entirely possible that in 5-10 years Joe Brady is a great OC and a great HC candidate.

Yeah, the defense is still fun to watch. Maybe if Rhule takes over playcalling we can run the fug out of the ball and just simply not let Darnold fug it up for them. All we really need to do is play the field position game and give our defense some rest.

It's not really the fans that Rhule needs to be worried about. Half the fans want to fire a coach after every loss. It's David Tepper that Rhule needs to worry about. He doesn't seem particularly happy.

I mean, I just can just see what is obvious. I saw it before we signed him, I saw it after we signed him. The dude is who he is. Nothing can fix it.

That isn't the first guy to bring up how many repeated plays we run in a game. And Darnold.....that is exactly what I have been saying for weeks now. The dude does not have it.

Came for the casual conversation, stayed for @iamhubby1's tears and hysterics. 10/10. Would read again.

100% agree. He has such an astronomical bust factor.

Another competent QB we face that will make us pay for the short fields that the offense is going to hand over. I am not looking forward to it. Especially since this is an offense that can score quickly and ours cannot score at all.
