I mean. You can't normally have 300+ rushing yards period, end of story. The mediocre Steelers from last week kind of prove that point.

Probably much higher than Bridgewater's, but why wouldn't it be when he has an entire week to throw?

I'm kind of surprised so many here are advocating rushing him back this season. Why in the world would the Panthers bring him back this year when the team isn't competitive? I don't understand why they should risk a franchise player for a year where the team at best finishes under .500. That's with what might end up being the easiest schedule in the league, dependent on what happens in the next two weeks.

Extrapolating to an entire season where he doesn't have a single bad game. 3600 passing yards, 17 touchdowns, 8 rushing touchdowns, 4 fumbles. So, basically Teddy Bridgewater at his peak.

Touchdowns are the most important quarterback statistic. Throwing and running. Completion percentage has to be the most misleading statistic by far.

Only Panthers fans could look at the post-Cam years, the last half decade at this point, and be completely blind to the reality of the modern NFL. Which is that you need a quarterback to consistently compete, or possibly even compete at all when looking at just our team. We've been a losing team since the day that Cam didn't have 'it' anymore. The same could be said after Jake Delhomme's years. Oh, we're going to build a real contender by running the ball and having elite lines on both sides of the ball? Really, do you guys think it's actually feasible to find that many players to carry an inept quarterback? Oh, we need coaching right? Just need that unicorn coach to come along and we can plug and play anyone. Well, some of the best coaches, arguably ever, are having a tough go without a quarterback this year. Sometimes I feel as if much of our fans don't actually want to be competitive or want to win the big game. They just want recognition through pro-bowl voting or fan favorites that 'break records' or some such nonsense. Personally, I don't care about player accolades, especially when it's usually some cherry-picked statistical anomaly. I don't get it.

That settles it. What we need to do is trade for cast-offs and take shots mid to late draft. I don't know what it is about football comparative to other sports, but the amount of cherry picking of statistics and anecdotes is absurd. How is this difficult to understand. NFL players are usually drafted, right? So, the higher you draft a player, the more likely that player has to be special. If 5 teams take a player at your position that you need, guess what? That's 5 players missing from your selection pool to find a great player.

Sam has sucked for 5 years in the NFL, is on his second team, and somehow still gets the rookie pass. Meanwhile fans here are criticizing Fields? What?

Time to start talking to Chicago.

You mean the 'true fans' that have been talking mad poo again?

Next draft, next draft, next draft.

That guy endorses Sam Darnold.

If Chicago can move up to 2nd overall, then we'll have a good trade partner.

Imagine if this team was in an average division and had an average schedule. There's no way they would be at 5 wins.

Protect the bank is corporate propaganda.

Tepper might shut things down after this game. One or two random players to IR, with more rookies starting to see what we have.

All 5 wins of the culture.

How are fans still boot licking?

No, you draft or sign someone else who will produce. Running backs are found every year throughout the entire NFL draft and as undrafted free agents. They're just too easy to acquire and will produce as long as the offensive line and scheme are there. We also will gain more from letting him walk and some other team signing, possibly giving us a compensatory pick.

That has to be the worst throw I've seen from Geno this year.

Who's ALT are you?

Guys, they're going to call what they think will work. They don't want Darnold to throw a pick early and start his moody spiral. It's basically the same thing that Matt Rhule did with Darnold his first few games, and even in training camp. They won't ask too much of him until they start being schemed against. When that happens, he'll go back to a 1:2 touchdown to interception ratio that he's built his career on.

There's the Darnold we know.

Yeah, we're the new Browns. Great offensive line with a carousel of poor quarterbacks.

It's such bullshit we have to watch Darnold play for this team still.
