CRA

That’s a weird way to state you intentionally deceived people and broke rules the entire league is following.

You could easily argue the Beckham decline started after that. And his decline is largely injury and it coming to light what sits on top of his shoulders. But Norman was part of the window where Beckham essentially became exposed as a problematic player. Talent alone? Every team would love Beckham. But a lof things, largely Beckham have exposed what sits on his shoulders. And teams ain't lining up for that. That's why ended up in Clev in the first place.

Got to think Sam is the proud owner of worst QB performance ever against Belichick.

Sam’s worst game vs Belichick 34% comp, 86 passing yards, 0 TDs, 4 INTs, 1 FL and took a safety. 33-0 loss. I’m going to say PJ has legit potential to be better than that on Sunday. You know what, it’s getting the never before given Stone Cold Lock CRA Guarantee of the Week!! PJ will do better than that.

The Sam Darnold bar vs Bill Belichick. 53% completion percentage, 173 pass yard average, 2.6 turnovers per game, 0.33 TDs per game I guess we will see how PJ stacks up vs that. I think he is up to the task of being in the ballpark of Sam Darnold vs Bill.

DJ #3 in the NFL in recieving first downs DJ #1 in your heart

some delay QB draws. If PJ gets one on one on the outside, he should definately put one or two up. What you don't want PJ doing is going over the middle and trying to figure out the traffic. Run. Get creative running. And when the Patriot give him one on one to the outside.....you got to let him attack that vertically on occasion.

Only way to win is for the D to play great and us not turn it over. PJ will have to make some passes downfield and use his legs for us to get a win. Try to keep him in the 20 pass attempt window but you are going to need him to go downfield some. Try to keep those shots to the sideline. If we pull out a win, I actually would wager that little Viking RB we picked up would be a key to the victory. Gonna need a little backfield playmaking happening.

this always gets weird though. The if a player does X with that team then somehow that means he would be doing the same here. Hell, just look at Fields the one game Nagy was forced to miss from COVID and wasn't allowed to call the plays for fields. He basically looked like the dude everyone thought the Bears were getting to work with. I don't know how Fields would look here. But Nagy and the Panthers would be doing different things with Fields.

Sam is worse than just isn't great. in PJ's one start, he looked like a host of other shitty backups that get thrown out there from time to time. Nothing more and nothing less. I mean, we agree that Rhule screwed us with QB/OL. I mean, that has been my primary soapbox since camp began.

I still don't think you have come to grips with how bad Sam Darnold is. That aside, we have played worse QBs than PJ Walker before too. It's not the end of times scenario you are painting. If we can find a way to score points with Brian St Peirre vs the Ravens? Well, I wouldn't expect a nothing burger from PJ. He is way too aggressive of a thrower for us not to get some points over 4 quarters lol. and our D is capable of getting us points if a QB literally does nothing but take a knee at times. And we are once again, playing a rookie QB.

I guess the same folks overall who have been ready for Sam and no CMC on Sundays. Feel no different going into this week than last week. Opponent is tougher though. Sam or PJ. Doesn't actually matter.

Lesson of 2021 - when your daddy has to come out to make the case for you.....you done. Sorry, Cam. That's you too. And don't get all crazy people. Cam is my all time favorite Panther. But his career is over. And that's not really fair but that's what it is.

62 yards a game is (was) a 1000 yard season. Any feautred RB or #1 WR in theory should hit that if healthy. now, it's just 58 yards a game. OBJ is physically gifted WR.....that is injury prone, a basketcase and a shitty teammate. So in summary, he isn't a great WR.

89 being 89. lol, acting OBJ is great and it is all just Baker being horrible. That OBJ is in the right. Landry has always been better than OBJ in Clev because he is less of mental basketcase than OBJ.

He is making 6 million dollars this year to play a game. That’s made possible because of fanatics. Fans not just watching and saying stuff comes with the paycheck. but he is still my favorite player this season to watch.

hmmm. if you search his twitter handle his @ name doesn't link anymore in posts like it is deactivated. That's what I did trying to find that post initially. But you are right, I was able to just find his account up. Weird.

a reporter from the NE area who has seen a lot of Sam Darnold in recent years. and yes, the gameplan was 100% one of a team afraid of their QB imploding their teams chances of winning a game. Like he had done repeatedly in recent weeks going into that game.

we would have even less wins than we do now....if Joe Brady wasn't forced to run Sam Darnold. Joe Brady is damned if he does and damned if he doesn't.

I'm just looking for max entertainment at this point. We don't have a QB on the roster for it to be about much more than that.

Imagine. Defense plays great. Prevents NE from getting much going. Game is a lot of back and forth punting. Low scoring. Then in the 4th PJ lets one rip down field and the deciding play is a Robbie Anderson TD. Panthers win. Oh, the huddle would be a fun place.

I'm not sure if Mac is as risk adverse to throwing downfield as Alex Smith was though. Smith was a better athlete though.

And he deactivated his Twitter account after it

Why? Well, if you play PJ a couple games then Matt Rhule can’t get away with pretending his college QB deserves a roster spot for a 3rd straight season. then next season we hopefully don’t have Sam or PJ occupying roster spots. Both are pointless.
