I don’t get it. Both Miller and Paradis played better than this last year… They weren’t great, but they weren’t God awful.

He also can’t cover…

Wait? Did our line play bad yesterday?

Agreed. Plus we are missing Shaq, Horn, and Burris…

A blocked point and 3 turnovers is a lot to put on a defense…

Moton, Erving, Elf, Brown, Christensen. If they are going to play that bad, get the rookies out. At least they will get better in theory…

I hope we don’t tie up too much money in the secondary. Jackson has played great, but our pass rush is going to make our secondary look better. Paying a bunch of corners vs Burns and Reddick would be a mistake IMO.

Honestly is because the other two were already proven. They had MVP seasons in this league and have proven they have what it takes to play the position at a high level for a full season. Sam has not done that yet.

If Darnold doesn’t pan out and Fields keeps developing, we need someone else evaluating QBs. Teddy was already a mistake…

He has blood clotting issues that worried some coaches about how long/if he will play. In the 5th/6th it’s a no brainer, but not much earlier.

I mean there is a solution when a coordinator isn’t performing…

We knew it was a rebuild from last year. Winning a few games early always raises expectations to unrealistic levels. Should we have won this game? Yes! Does losing it mean Rhule can’t coach and we are stuck at being a mediocre franchise? No. I just didn’t expect our team to scrap all it franchise players, repairs it’s salary cap, and be a playoff team in year 2. We had a ton of needs when Rhule took over. Let’s let him rebuild and not overreact. I mean Sam went from being a Tannehill/Rodgers one week to Jets Sam the next by our fans. Let’s just be patient and see how this season unfolds.

I saw 2 Robby drops on critical plays that would have won us this game with our best player, LT, MLB, and best CB injured. These overreactions are getting insane. The 2 things that discouraged me this game were 1. Sam going back to bad habits (I’m sure his protection has some to do with it. 2. Our interior line being nearly unwatchable. Sign a FA to send a message (doesn’t matter who) and let Brown take reps away from Daley in practice. BC and Moton (obviously) should be locks to start. I don’t care if we put Moton back to RT and let BC play guard. Honestly Erving LT, BC LG, Moton at RT might be our best option with Brown giving RG a shot. We should have won this game, but we didn’t. How we respond is going to dictate our season. Rhule and Brady better be in the film room all week and make some OL changes soon. I’m not really concerned about the playoffs as much as us improving from last year. 8-9 or 9-8 would be good providing we show improvement and development of our young team. Year 3 is usually Rhule’s year judging by his history.

Would a MVP Cam win a game our new young QB lost? Maybe?

Overreaction threads overreact…

Now is Darnold’s chance for a game winning drive.

Ok Darnold shake off that INT and make some plays!

Reddick has your sacks right here!

I hope they show some potential. We need it!

If we didn’t have Darnold playing well he would be worth considering. No one will be able to play great every game until we figure out our line issues. OL will hopefully be priority one this offseason/draft.

I think they view Christensen as a G/RT. I know he played LT in college, but not sure if he can in the NFL. Plus our best lineman will be protecting Sam’s blindside.

I’m still in New Orleans (smells of sewage and Saints’ tears), but will definitely be out eating some local food with my Panthers hat on. It’s actually a pretty cool city aside from all the ugly Saints logos everywhere but you didn’t hear it from me…

Shaq is crucial, but he should still be on the sidelines calling out adjustments and helping our young defense. Chinn might actually be better at covering than Shaq. Hopefully we can get by the next few weeks with Chinn filling a bigger role on defense.

Good post. This draft was already weak at QB and the top ones haven’t had the seasons they were wanting so far…
