Smitty puts the blame yesterday all on the OL

You know Sam had an all time bad day when the best retort from some involves Cam Newton. Any other time the mention of his name here is met with hostility. It goes back to an old problem with this fanbase that is some people are perfectly fine losing depending on who is involved.

Hot damn who is this guy

Trust me, I know. What's the point if you can't win it all? This offense isn't there and it won't be until we replace Sam and the offensive line. Picking up his option was the dumbest thing we did in the off season. 

This staff and the moves they have made at  qb would probably have 25 other head coaches on the hot seat

What QB is giving this roster a chip with this OL?

If you take a glance above your post, you'll notice we talked about improving the offensive line. The point is getting a good QB to go along with that line. 

As poo as the offensive line is, they didn't make Sam throw those interceptions yesterday. Those were all bad decisions made by Sam himself.

I guess Smitty has not heard of the imaginary QB that is coming out in this years draft that is ready to take us to multiple Superb Owls regardless of the OL in front of him. 

Do you think the Oline threw those picks or that people can't think there's a distinct possibility that both the line and QB need improvement? You seem to be struggling with this

The option is fine. If Fitts is as good as we all hope, trade him for value.

I notice that, but I dont see how we build the OL if we draft a QB with our 1st round pick. We tried the late round picks and FAs route this year and the OL still sucks.

Sam is not without any blame in this, he does need to improve or he will be replaced. Sam has not been perfect by a long shot. We also need better play calls when CMC is out and DJ Moore is being locked down. 

Sam missed TMJ this week and last wide open, He missed Robby on the deep shot yesterday but he would have hit that with more time from the OL. He has also thrown some bad INTs.

I think we should we go OL with the first pick too. I wouldn't be upset. However, Sam isn't the answer.

I don’t think ppl realize how bad those ints were, the first one to dj Moore he threw Idc if he was prime Peyton Manning, that was getting int no matter what 

They are bad, bad. It's almost as if he literally isn't seeing the defense. I think the game is too fast to him. He can't process it that fast or something. Because he said it best, it's like he's seeing ghosts out there.

    • Agreed. A healthy bit from column A (stats) and column B (film) paints the most accurate picture, which is currently that Bryce is not performing up to the standard a 1st round QB (let alone drafted #1 overall) is expected to (statistically). When we dig into the film to see why, we see that while he's having his struggles (not stepping up in the pocket, bailing out early, hesitating on some throws, making occasional bad reads, etc) the team that surrounded him last season was simply awful. Bottom 5 defense, bottom 5 OL, bottom 5 weapons... but somehow one player has to overcome ALL of that in their rookie season? Yeesh... Taking this season into consideration, he started where he left off last season and was rightfully benched. Since starting again, the team has gotten on its first winning streak in a few years and he's made good plays to keep them in the game. Is he lighting it up? Nah... but he is beginning to show the reason so many draftniks had him as QB1a for his class. Re: what the team does next season... who friggin knows anymore at this point T_T. Resign Dalton? Sign Jones? Draft somebody in the mid-to-late rounds? Go with another UFA? Maybe grab an FA that can compete with Bryce for the starting position and draft a rookie to sit and develop? Might be best of both worlds for the team, but ugh... not a fun position to still be in with question marks throughout the position group.
    • Yeah, this is basically the same as asking, "What if Bryce Young suddenly had Patrick Mahomes brain, how would he do?" It isn't happening. This ship is beyond sailed. Send him somewhere else, let us move on and him move on. 
    • Dalton is too close to starting right now. If it hadn't been for a car accident, he still would be. Switching Dalton for Jones does nothing except reduce the backup's age by a decade. One is in his NFL prime, the other is almost in his NFL grave. Not a horrible move if you're trying to improve the team. We've got to get better as a team and a lateral move like that would improve the team. The problem isn't that he's close to starting. The problem is we have a GM that signed off on BY and didn't bring in any serious QB competition for camp, a HC that said yeah, he's my guy until BY poo the bed so bad he couldn't start him, and an offense that's limited because BY can't make all the throws a normal NFL QB can.  The problem isn't that Jones could be an improvement as a backup QB. The problem is he could be better than our "franchise" QB.
