you didn't feel good at anytime when we had Cam and Luke?
-
Yep, the biggest problem with Sam Darnold is his decision making and what goes on upstairs.
-
I'll be at a soccer game. I plan to go back and watch it if it is really good or really bad. If they can just manage a win I'll just watch the highlight clip and call it a day.
-
I got zero issues with him being even keeled and saying the right things.
-
because then, it's just a job to Sam. The pre-Cam mentality that Newton always spoke of when he first arrived. And I don't want that at QB. QB again, is THE most important piece of the puzzle. and it's not just a job for greats. And in the NFL you need a great QB. So again, why would we want Sam if the Jets game was just a game. Would it be just a game for Jordan or Brady? Or 89 or Cam? Heck, even the Delhomme tier of very good. Or maybe you can name great players who don't really care about getting revenge on a team that just deemed them trash.
-
If Sam didn't want to humiliate the Jets....why the fug would we want him as our QB? and yes, you also want your QB to lie and say PC things like he did in front of the microphone.
-
Fix is a weird word. Wentz showed he could be a very good NFL QB. So in theory, you could fix him. Sam Darnold has never been anything but Sam Darnold. So we are 4 years in still talking about can he develop.
-
Hope Rhule brings that DBO sign to the stadium. If we lose....he gonna go need to take a lap.
-
Murray had 800+ yards, 11 TDs, and picked up 52 1st downs with his legs last season. I'd think you would be forced to spy him situationally given the damage he is doing on the ground.
-
only team I could see bringing Cam in because of an injury.....frankly would be NE if Mac had a very early season ending injury.
-
I'm got the airpods in listening and will sum it up 1. Cam knows he is a distraction (or viewed as that). That a team thinks he is too big to be the backup and he frankly gets it. He would have backed up Mac though. But he gets that being a problem for Mac/the team in the big picture...to have a QB like Cam sitting behind Mac. He is a big figure. That draws attention. It's a problem if Mac faces adversity. Just who he is. More a distraction for those on the outside who bring it to the team than an in house thing. Cam isn't a distraction in house. 2. Mac wasn't teaching him the playbook. 3. Pops brings up the hair, clothing, etc. Basically acknowledges it impacts things for an AA QB. He wasn't making the arguement that it should of though. Just that it presently does. Not in the context of him losing the NE job. Just how Cam is overall viewed by the masses. 4. Vaccination. Cam's dad says he is vaccination hesitant. But doesn't want to get into all that. Cam just says he doesn't think vaccination was a factor. Cam says NE greenlighted his doctor appointment. He followed all the rules. He did imply he felt a little sabotaged there. But he followed all the NE guidance. 5. Pops says Mac exceeded his expectations. But doesn't think he beat Cam. Both implied either one of them was going to win with the Patriots this year. It is what it is. * he did have a noteworthy line about superheroes either die or live long enough to become the villain. He sometimes feels that is his world.
-
Sam, PJ, and the practice squad guy could all get hurt today. Cam has a 0% chance of returning here.
-
Cam sitting on a high school field with his dad interviewing him week 1...trying to argue why his NFL career isn't over. I love Cam. Tied with Luke as my favorite all time. But it's done for all practical purposes. And he is still probably one of the best 32 today. But there simply isn't a fit for Cam. He has to be one of the 32 starters. It just doesn't work any other way. He can't be a backup. And no team wants to go the Cam starter route it appears. Call it a day boss.

there aren’t a lot of QBs growing on trees. Each offseason is a different beast. and just bringing in guys that should be a backup to start for a year isn’t a position I think Rhule can keep repeating for a 3rd straight year (if that is Sam). so it could be just keep the good guy to be a body while you “search” for something with more potential than continuing to repeat the pattern. And just because you want someone in the draft doesn’t mean the opportunity will be there…..especially if you win 7-9 games This was an abnormal draft in terms QBs available to gamble on
-
I mean I said he was throwing his coaches under the bus publicly. Call it what you want. But a high end backup isn’t going to stay over employed long doing that. Sam will be easier to hang onto if he is no more productive than Teddy. NFL is straight up business. NFL has no problem with shitty teammates overall. Bad PR is bad PR. And coaches probably get all sorts of poo way worse than what Teddy said to their face….but behind closed doors. And the coaches after that started doing the same thing back at Teddy….in the public. the point being, I am not convinced Rhule will move on quick from Sam if he is simply the same dude he was in NY. Which while bad wasn’t some Jimmy Clausen type poo. Jets always had a punchers chance with Darnold.
-
I think it is a fairly noteworthy point that Teddy started throwing a green staff under the bus publicly….and they essentially returned the favor. So keeping became not an option. Darnold will say the right things.
-
I’m not certain. Check the OL situation. Heck, check the fact they brought in Darnold and only Darnold.
-
I think if Sam Darnold remains Sam Darnold….decent odds we get stuck with him for a bit. worst case IMO is Sam just remains Sam. Good and bad. We get to about 8 wins. We have no options and they rework his deal
-
I don't know if I agree. Watson went to a horrible Texans org. It didn't matter. Horrible OL. Bad coaching. Bad management. I mean, he is Mahomes to the Bears (but worse). Watson was going to be special no matter where he went. That's just what he was.
-
well, that was a bad OL vs a great defensive front. And Mahomes was pulling off some matrix stuff in that game......and his receivers let him down. Lot of big drops in that game after he pulled off some absurd stuff. I mean, the Bears haven't had a losing season over the last 3 years. I would wager if they wouldn't of sucked with Mahomes. overall I do agree with your point though. Most folks are not Mahomes. Even most really good QBs.

Your reaction when Sam Darnold is not named a Captain...
CRA replied to Basbear's topic in Carolina Panthers
Cam came into an offense that featured established pro bowlers/life long Panther leaders on the OL and WR spot. I don't think it was a knock on Cam's leadership at the time. Just like it wasn't a knock on Kalil for never jumping Gross/Smith until Ron altered the captain criteria. -
NFL Network says Darnold worst starting QB in the league.
CRA replied to Khyber53's topic in Carolina Panthers
In a world where our starters were going up against against backups......and Sam wasn't able to get anything going until the 2 minute drive as the half was about to end. -
worth noting Chase and Sewell both missed the 2020 season. So in addition to the jump to the NFL they haven't played football in a long time.
-
I think Ron appointed Captains some years. There isn't a set in stone way of doing it.
-
I can't pull for the Brady Bucs to win. Fug ceding the division to them. Brady hate + Tampa hate exceeds Cowboy hate. Go Cowboys.
