Davidson Deac II

He ran in a straight line. Not a bad run by him, but really more of a combination of great blocking/poor defense.

Generally speaking, I don't agree with it, especially in OT where timeout's are limited. But their kicker already missed an easy one, so I don't really blame NCSU for trying it in this specific case.

Well, it worked. I suppose.

Sam Darnold's interception vs the Patriots last year might have been the worst interception I have ever seen from a Panthers qb. I expect more of the same.

In fairness, being able to perform well in the clutch is a rare ability. And I don't think it's something that can be developed. While experience helps, the main requirement is to stay in control under pressure, and that is an ability that you either have or you don't.

Last year, half the teams on Thanksgiving Day scored more than 30 points. Today, no one has yet, although MN/NE may. I don't have any stats to back it up, but it seems that scoring is down some this year.

You said he didn't get to 500, you didn't specify this season. Picking one season is literally cherry picking. As far as him peaking, like any other coach, he might just need the right qb. Just like Belichick, or Reid or Pete Carroll, etc...

As someone else mentioned, you got his record wrong. But being a retread worked for Pete Carroll, Andy Reid, Dick Vermeil, and Bill Belichick. It's certainly better than hiring a college coach.

Yeah, it really sucks being surrounded by five-star recruits.

Both him and Young have the same drawback. They both play on teams that surround them with significantly more talent than any team they play. No way to know if they will succeed in the NFL where the talent levels are closer to even. But at least he does have NFL level size, where as Young is on the small side.

Hmmm, can't imagine that would happen. Fwiw, I think given their cap limitations, I think Atlanta's new coach has done an amazing job. Give him a solid qb, and they might be set for a while.

I am fairly certain he meant New Orleans. He is still technically under contract to them. And any team he goes to will have to compensate New Orleans.

In the end, it was the absurd decisions that he made at qb that cost him his job.

It's probably too early to make a judgement on any of those guys. Some guys take a lot longer than others to turn into a good NFL qb. Geno Smith took 9 years But last year's draft does show how high the bust potential is on any first round qb we pick. People assuming that any of them will be an NFL star is just wrong. I think this is especially true for QB's that come from a program like Alabama or Ohio State where they are surrounded by future NFL draft picks. I mean we almost have to draft a qb next year, just have to hope we get lucky and get the right combination of coach and qb.

Is that guy a friend of Frank's or something?

I agree with you, although I do think that Corral will stick around for a couple of years, assuming he recovers fully from his injury, and some other team doesn't come in and make a decent to good trade offer. Corral will at least have a shot at being the backup.

In fairness, Anderson does have to play behind Greg Dortch and some other guy.

I give more credit to Shanahan. I don't think we would be much better with Jimmy G than we are with Mayfield/Darnold/PJ.

I said coaching staff, but it wasn't just the coach. The GM's (Hurney and DG) played a huge role in the lack of talent on offense. Gettleman's obsession with size over actual talent hurt us on offense.

Its sad watching how well the forty whiners use CMC as an integrated part of an effective offense. Watching us run him into the ground thru the years, while other decent backs sat on the bench just shows how bad our coaching was.

Agreed, Marvel has to many movies/characters now. The comic book fans might still go, but I think the rest of them are starting to lose interest. Although the most recent black panther movie seems to be doing extremely well.

Sometimes, they weren't really meh in college, they were just on meh teams.

With the exception of the Bungles game, we have been playing better. But Baltimore is very good team. I would say about 1 chance in in 7.

Personally, I think PJ has a better shot at being here next year than Darnold or Baker do. Draft a QB, keep Corral, and maybe have PJ as the third qb. Let Baker and Darnold be some other team's problem.

Ok, that one made me laugh a little.
