And the Rams just blew it fumble in the endzone.

And the Rams are already in FG range after just a couple of plays. Defenses just lose their nerve in short clock situation. Start playing not to lose.

He tried hard to blow it there. No clue what he saw there but one defender nearly picked it and if he hadn't put hands on it the defender behind him had an easy pick.

Eddie Piñiero just hit a 59 yarder to put the Niners up by 3 with under 3 minutes to play. LOL

And now former Panther Gross-Matos goes down for SF. Unreal.

Mac Jones goes down hard and he's hurt. The amount of injuries SF is piling up is just crazy. They cut to Shanahan in the sideline and he just looked like he wanted to start drinking. LOL

But 18/39 instead of 11/13, also minus the tuddies

I never understood why they paid Purdy

He should have 2 TDs already. Barely missed on an open deep ball to the endzone. This offense just makes decent backup caliber guys look like legit starters.

That drive is why I'm not a big believer in Brock Purdy. Mac Jones goes 5/5 for 77 yards and a TD on the opening drive in that Niners offense.

He looked like me when I was in about week three of having an infant with colic.

There will be more cases of food poisoning from those racoon taint sandwiches than XL will have yards.

I agree. I just doubt they're going to make a trade without trotting his old ass out there first. So let's just go ahead and get that over with so there's still time on the clock.

The nice thing about playing for the Panthers is the local press is generally pretty amiable to writing puff pieces. Just help them help you. Give them what they want and tell them that you were able to use this time to focus on better understanding the offense and watch film and whatever and they'll write a piece praising you for your commitment and predicting that you're ready to show what you can do when you're back. They'll generally cover for you as long as you give them something to work with.

Sooner rather than later hopefully. There's still time before the trade deadline. We need to see Dalton out there before time runs out.

Yeah, Dalton kinda seems like Cam after his shoulder injuries. He can come in and look good for a game or two but just seems physically unable to sustain it.

Was he? I mean he's kinda given the vibe of a guy who doesn't understand why he isn't playing. https://www.instagram.com/reel/DPCcieGjjYq/?hl=en

Stop. You're comparing a proven high level pro to a second year player who had a subpar rookie season and was practically nonexistent this year before going out. You're massively reaching to create a narrative here. It was a fair question given the situation.

A big part of our overall talent issue is we have way too many utter throwaway drafts. Like virtually every pick is trash. Start stacking those up and you're cooked.

Yeah, he's hit a few. He's missed a lot more.

How many of these examples can you find? Because most of his deep balls are honestly inaccurate.

Yeah, he's just not a good downfield passer. Plenty of us pointed this out in his college play. He was throwing up "area balls" to wide open receivers who could adjust to the ball. Put an NFL secondary out there and most of those balls aren't completed.

C'mon... everything has to go perfect after the snap for Bryce to deliver a deep ball. Anything less than the perfect setup and he can't throw a catchable ball deep.

I don't know why folks are trying to act like T-Mac is a plodder like Funchess. He's not Randy Moss but the guy can run. XL was drafted in large part because he's 6'2" 220 with legit sub-4.4 speed. We don't have a QB who can throw a deep ball. We could have a fleet of absolute burners and we still wouldn't have a vertical element to our offense. We honestly just don't know what type of vertical ability we might have at receiver because we don't have the QB to unleash it.

I can't say that he absolutely should've been. I mean, maybe through the interview process and whiteboard work the issues that would show up in the NFL were evident. Especially when it comes to evaluating the QB position so much of the evaluation comes down to that part that we don't have any insight into beyond the rumor mill.
