It's not a comparison. It's a clear example of a team looking like trash in practice and it not mattering. We also looked like trash in joint practices in 2015 before our SB run. Practices and preseason are not at all indicative of how good a team will be, so to make statements about how good the team is based on it is ridiculous.

Am I misremembering or did we not have starters play in the preseason a bunch in 2015? The only starter I would sit is cmc. That’s it.

Okay. We shall see. I'm sure we're just intentionally sandbagging. They'll never see us coming once the games start counting for real. *evil villain laugh*

We played our starters in the preseason that year. They were thoroughly outplayed by Miami and New England in that preseason.

The comparisons to highly successful organizations is baffling. I don't know where this confidence comes from.

It's selective. 

It's like the "they are treating Darnold like a rookie" arguement that was heavily played.  Starting from scratch with him.  Comes and goes.  Every young QB was out getting real reps last weekend.  Suddenly, well Darnold clearly isn't a rookie and doesn't need to risk injury. 

CMC doesn't need to play in the preseason.  Just like Lamar Jackson doesn't.  Which has nothing to do with our weak OL, QB, and rookies.

I'm not supporting that claim specifically but it was widely reported that Carolina asked Miami to back it down.

Lol, it's practice. I wouldn't read anything into it at all. The Patriots have done a lot of joint practices in the last 2 decades and had plenty where they've looked like crap and obviously still had success in actual games.

I don't know why this needs to be said but we aren't a dynasty and have a history of coming out flat in games

I was just making a observation that I haven't even seen a Darnold's jersey worn by a fan yet..I mean I saw a Colts fan with a Wentz jersey yesterday...and today at our team's practice there's no support for our own QB .. that's really telling and needs to be addressed.

I am hesitant to buy a jersey of any player that I don't think is a long term guy. For example, I have Smitty, Olsen, Stew, Luke, and got CMC last year. Until he proves himself, which I REALLY hope he does, Sam is just a 2 year rental as far as I'm concerned. I don't want to be that asshole who blew $100 on a jersey for a guy that may end up being a footnote in the Panthers' history books.  Let him take us to the playoffs the next 2 seasons, sign a long term deal, and THEN I'll get a jersey.

Hope they pick different Jersey combos tmrw

As opposed to faith that we will simply improve overnight as if by magic? That's the rational thought process?
