I mean our own Cam Newton was hurt diving to stop a TD when KB should have first ran the route properly and caught the ball, second tackle the fugin guy....but yea shitty teams derp and fail their QB....just adds to the point really.

Speaking of which, how do we turn off that damn fat KB picture on the right?...am I the only one seeing this?

I have AdBlock Plus installed on my browser, and it allowed me to block it (right clicked on the picture and selected Block Element).  I've done that with a couple of those pictures over time.

It's pretty funny to see someone who got upset over perceived negativity that is discussing the reality of the situation with Darnold's past as a starter turn around and compare him to Drew Brees before a single preseason snap in a new offense. I would be ecstatic if that happens but uhhhh I need to be made a believer just a little bit before I put that level of expectation out there.

First off, I loved his well-thought-out argument and the stats he brought.   

There was never any complaint about it.

Second, your post (the bolded part) with the whole holier-than-thou bullsh*t is why I have you on Ignore and I curse myself for deciding to view your post for some reason.    That won't happen again.

Unsurprisingly, you still cannot make any logical argument to support any position you hold.

I mean, as an example of a guy who was pedestrian his first few seasons but turned it around, it's valid.

Can't speak for anyone else, but I don't think it's meant as a comparison to Brees (or at least it shouldn't be).

And personally, I'd be happy if Darnold was just good to great. He doesn't necessarily have to be Hall of Fame worthy for us to be successful.

It is pretty funny to see simple concepts soar over your head on a regular basis.

2nd round pick is all it'll cost us regardless so its going to be a meh or one of the best trades of all time if it works out. We arent' used to this as a team but there is nothing to lose here at all. If he stinks we draft one with our top pick. Clearly they didn't have one of this years QBs higher than him or they'd have just drafted them. If that speaks to their evaluation skills that's a different topic and would be 2 QBs that flubbed.

Only Tepper can say what that would mean going forward but their other picks and development have worked out so they are on the better side of the draft evaluation as of now.

I guess part of my reason for optimism is that it really feels like our current leadership actually knows what they're doing.

It's been a pretty long time since I've felt that way.

No doubt. Obviously everyone on here will know that I am historically a trash talking asshole who gives this team and all it's moves the business and it was well warranted when we have fugin JR and Rivera and Hurney at the helm....not the case anymore

      Gameday Thread: KC-CAR

      By mav1234 · Posted

      KC has a very good defense this year. It is 5th overall. Yes, still worse than last year, but their offense is considerably worse. Their passing D may be their "weakness" but they still allow fewer than 20 ppg. BY completed several deep passes yesterday, and he was able to threaten downfield in ways he didn't seem capable of before the benching. I'm not necessarily worried about his ability to connect deep anymore. What to me was impressive was that he did all this without a run game. We used the pass to set up what little running success we had. Wild.

      Bryce developing before our eyes

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Solid and fair assessment.   I will say, one of the big things I noticed yesterday was that he wasn't shy to step up into the pocket in the face of pressure.  He's trusting the IOL.  And they took care of Chris Jones yesterday.  We had clean pockets but also good success rate vs. pressure which just hasn't been the case with Bryce.   If he has more confidence the OL gets it done and he can navigate and step up for throws, that's huge.  It's one of the biggest things that's held him back.  He was previously bailing quickly and just too easily throwing away or making dead plays.     He was finding his 2nd to 3rd reads within structure/without bailing in the pocket.  That was nice to see, as much concern I have with him.  And the overall limitations will always be there. Time to back it up this week against the Bucs.

      Some Thoughts on Our Remaining Games

      By 45catfan · Posted

      Suddenly the Cowgirls look like our best chance for a win remaining. I think the Bucs are playing better than the Falcons of late.  Our lone game versus the dirty birds is in the ATL where we always struggle.  The Cardinals are marginally better than I thought they would be. We are not beating the Eagles, they are starting to roll. I'm saying two at most, next week at home versus the Bucs and the Cowgirls.
