The dreaded "Vote of Confidence".

This Sunday's game against the Giants is basically Endgame for Sam.

He better play well and win.

That's all I'll say.

But I still don't buy that we're acquiring Watson.

I just can't see Tepper wanting that type of DISTRACTION as a part of the franchise.

Also, I just can't see Fitterer giving up 3 first-rounders.

I keep saying that and people just choose to ignore it like I never said it.

Fitterer is very unlikely to give up 3 first-rounders to get someone who will more than likely not be available for a couple of seasons(and when he's available, will cast a dark cloud whenever he's on the field).

Sam Darnold ain't the answer. The last three games have been brutal and this was never the QB solution owner David Tepper was sold on in the first place. Too many turnovers. Too few big plays. Not enough completions. Without RUN CMC, it is particularly ugly. Tepper has long wanted Watson. At some point he may get him. But after going through Teddy Bridgewater and now Darnold, the Panthers are making one splash or another at QB next year.

Giving up 3 first-rounders for Watson, though?   I just can't see it....no matter how much Tepper wants Watson.

Its early, but Fields has looked pretty bad so far

Yeah but Fields in year 4 will probably be way ahead of where Sam is right now. I would have taken that bet.

Y'all will love Sam next year. If we're lucky.

Poor Man's Baker Mayfield will likely get overdrafted(1st round) but I certainly hope we aren't the team doing it.

Replace one Sam with another.

I sure hope we are. People who claim he's having a down year aren't actually watching the games. UNC has one of the worst OLs in D1 college football and exactly one producing WR. What Howell is doing given the situation is remarkable.

Howell is physically comparable to Mayfield but I think he has a lot more between the ears.

Sam was a big gamble by Fit.  Doesn't look good.  They will double down because it's almost make or break for Rhule and him.   It was a big gamble passing on QBs in the draft.  Yes the line is bad but Sam has yet to show any deep ball accuracy on passes he should land.  He misses open receivers often.  He makes bad decisions and panics.  I believe he has all the physical tools but lacks the mental side of football.  Kind if like Jameis.  With a mediocre line I think we are a playoff team still but I think he still makes mistakes and has us at early outs in playoffs.  He just isn't that guy but I really hope I am wrong.

In those GiFs the line looks to be doing damn well. Was that from last year? Was gonna say which one o dem OL is eligible.

Oline or not he is at best an average athlete with average size with an average arm.   Locks onto his wideouts and gets happy feet in the pocket.  He did this last season with a good oline.  He does throw a nice deep ball but I pray to God Darnold turns it around and we dont hitch our wagon to this.   Like kungfo says someone will probably fall in love with him in the top 10 but he is nowhere near worthy.

 

Where would he fit in this past years draft?   Probably after Mac Jones.  Thats telling.

The crazy thing is the OL is the same. They did play really well last year and they've been trash this year. Turns out, they were just floated by having two NFL RBs. Take away those two drafted RBs and two drafted WRs and they get exposed while Howell and Josh Downs perform heroics to carry the offense.
