I view them in completely different lights. Jackson has had much more success in his NFL career than Darnold. Darnold has had next to none and shown very little evidence of even being capable of improving. I'd like to eat a lot of crow on that statement but I fear I will not.

I don't think we would be looking at him on a pricey contract unless he has a big year, in which he also stays completely healthy. Not sure we would have a ton of competition for him if it comes down to wanting a really big deal. My guy feeling is that not many in the NFL are gonna be giving him a #1 CB contract.

Also believe he is top 10(or close)in Panthers history in INT's after his rookie contract. Agree he is all over the map but one thing he definitely is, the best playmaker we have had in our secondary in a long time.

Okay, can I get a roll call of all the goofy fugs that kept spreading this idiot conspiracy theory about Robby not wanting to be here? Just go ahead and check in here for your lashing.

He blinked.

Large beer share with charcuterie, smoked pulled pork, etc.

We all see the OL, these are not likely to be ideal conditions from Week 1 through Week 17. That said, I am not on this "HE MUST PLAY IN THE PRESEASON" bandwagon either. I just think the idea of "ideal conditions" is something that isn't real in 2021. Whether he takes the field today or not until Game 1, he's gonna get heat and we will see who he is. If the plan is to protect his health or his psyche, that stuff is going to get exposed no matter what. If his is likely to break in Week 2 of the preseason, it isn't going to be any less likely to break in Week 1 of the regular season. He is who he is at this point.

You are basically a player surfer fan. To your credit, you did stick around when your dude left. We won't ever see the Darnold fans again.

Look, Darnold may suck hard here but he will at least be an NFL QB unlike Taysom Hill.

We have a lot of those in here. Jets fans, Lions fans, etc.

No Robby and no DJ and we probably don't see Darnold either, per Rhule's semi-vague comments. I'd probably rather see our first team offense preview than a battle for the 4th through 7th WR spots with PJ and Will Grier.

Hopefully Hill wins, so we can see an 8/25 season.

Taysom Hill: 11 completions in 15 attempts with one interception in full team drills / 112 for 171 with two touchdowns and six interceptions in camp as a whole Jameis Winston: 7 completions in 12 attempts in full team drills / 130 for 198 with six touchdown and four interceptions in camp as a whole https://www.nola.com/sports/saints/article_7954467c-0130-11ec-ba00-3fddb075fa46.html

I want the sweep and against Payton golden boy, Taysom The Golden Calf of Bristol.

Disagree. The board reaction will undoubtedly be far, far, FAR more entertaining than the game.

I'll throw my hat in this ring and give predictions a shot. Game 1(vs. Jets): Game 2(vs. Saints): Game 3(@ Texans): Game 4(@ Cowboys): Game 5(vs. Eagles): Game 6(vs. Vikings): Game 7(@ Giants): Game 8(@ Falcons): Game 9(vs. Patriots): Game 10(@ Cardinals): Game 11(vs. WTF): Game 12(@ Dolphins): Game 13(vs. Falcons): Game 14(@ Bills): Game 15(vs. Bucs): Game 16(@ Saints): Game 17(@ Bucs): Final Record: ?:?

Winning against the Pats, Dolphins and Vikings while losing against the Cowboys had me scratching my head. I know Dak is back but so is Mike McCarthy.

If you aren't playing CMC for durability reasons, there isn't much reason to play Darnold. The staff seems to be pretty dead set on "ideal conditions" for Darnold to get preseason burn. Not having your MVP caliber RB playing is not very ideal.

Here is one for a prediction.....do we see any of Robby and/or DJ?

I think they have a lot more injury issues than we do, so I would suspect we may see less of their starters than even we play.

He was durable until last year. I wouldn't want him to get any unnecessary pounding in the preseason if he doesn't have to but we also can't treat him like Mr. Glass. He's a RB, so he will take a beating sooner or later. At this point, if he is going to be perpetually banged up, there is really nothing we can do about that. 2020 gave me a huge amount of concern about his "mileage." I desperately hope that he stays healthy all of 2021 and 2020 just proves to be an outlier.

I do agree about Moton and ideally keeping him where he is most comfortable. The "glass half full" comment is a bit concerning.
