In near blizzard conditions just go for it. Especially the way Maye has been running.

NO GOOD hahahahaha

Flea flicker and they ran it to perfection oy vey

Yeah tumbling down the draft board certainly isn't ideal but this is where a guy like Tillis should come in and earn his money. Between the two of them and all this time and money we've put into PFF if they can't get it done we're boned anyways.

This thread has been on the first page for nearly an entire week now and simultaneously you've got folks bumping years old Darnold threads and swearing it isn't about Bryce lol.

I hear you. I'm just hoping that we can fill in the roster more for a better balance and still find our way back to the playoffs somehow. Gotta start with nailing this upcoming draft. This offseason will make or break Dan Morgan.

Comparatively Teddy Bridgewater is basically the best QB we've started in 6 years. And that was with Matt Rhule whom everyone agrees was a trashcan and a conman. The consistent theme under the ownership of the Tepper's has been us hiring bad coaches and largely making bad personnel decisions. You pretending like you didn't bump this with the intent of carrying water for your guy in some capacity is just ridiculous. Cmon.

That's valid. Then you've got the Tepper's in the mix. I agree with you. Too many cooks in the kitchen either way. Let's hope we nail this upcoming draft. Looking at the division around us trending upward the stakes are very high. Certainly can't count on luck again with the 2026 opponents.

NO GOOD LACES OUT

Maybe but if it's the Broncos you can never rule out the impact of the refs.

To be honest with you. And I like Horn on a personal level. The prevailing reason he is a Panther is because he played for South Carolina. We've done this multiple times now coveting players because of their local ties. We seem to prioritize this.

I despise him but Sean Payton is certainly a good offensive mind and he can get results out of some seriously mediocre QB's.

@TrevorLaurenceTime22 As if you aren't intimately familiar with everyone here

Well that first Broncos drive came and went in an instant. What a shame.

The poster who bumped the thread has gone out of his way to be vocally defensive of Bryce Young for years. Try to keep up or don't quote me.

You bumped a thread from 4 years ago about throwing downfield but this isn't about Bryce Young....

Priorities ILB - High draft pick and FA signing Edge - Veteran FA signing C - Draft pick or FA. We cannot let our depth at the position return to days of yesteryear with Bryce Young at QB. It will end terribly. TE - FA signing As far as backup QB's go I think we should all prepare for the QB room to be kept largely intact. I don't like it or agree with it but that's the likely outcome.

One QB has led teams to 14 wins and 15 wins in consecutive seasons and an actual human being is arguing a QB who was swept by the rebuilding Saints led by a rookie 2nd round pick is more clutch.

Also. For all the criticism of Teddy Bridgewater being a checkdown king and rarely throwing downfield he was 15th in yards per attempt the one season he played here. Compare that to Bryce who just finished the season 30th in yards per attempt.

lol @ bumping this thread thinking it's some kind of gotcha. Nobody ever doubted Darnold's physical abilities as a passer. Legitimately that throw that Sam Darnold made from his own end zone at the end of the game against the Vikings to Ian Thomas of all people is as good or better than any throw Bryce Young has made in his career so far.

What has become of Xavier Legette and Jonathan Brooks today in not only the same draft but in rounds 1 and 2 (and traded UP for both) is difficult to overlook with the current needs we have across the roster present day. Makes the shoe shining for the FO some insist on even more bewildering.

Most people will agree with this in principle. But it's situational and also depends on the results you're getting. We were middle of the league in sacks given up. Had the 27th passing offense. And if a few instances that went our way turned out differently we very likely could have been staring at another 5 win season. For the highest salary cap percentage to the OL in the entire league. While we had basically nothing at linebacker and not much at all consistent pass rush to speak of as we were leaning on two rookies. And despite all that our defense which has been on a lopsided end of investment compared to the offense managed to go from league worst and giving up historic single season points in 2024 to middle of the league in 2025 which is quite impressive all things considered. So yes the investment in the OL versus the results certainly matters or at least to should to anyone that would like to continue to improve and also maybe finally win another playoff game.

I'm interested to see which version of Sam Darnold shows up today.

It's long overdue I agree.

Very illuminating rebuttal. Thank you for gracing us with your insights.
