So this was or wasn’t a hospital ball by Darnold?

Why were we running him so much though? Even with the sneaks too. Do you honestly think it had nothing at all to do with the struggles of our passing game the week before against the Giants that Sam directly contributed to?

I think it just as much if not has more to do with the fact that the offensive line actually looks almost competent when run blocking.  Unfortunately the same cant be said for pass blocking.   I do think they should have went for a deep ball on one or two of those 2nd and 1 qb sneaks and that is another reason our offense and Darnold is struggling.  Our offense is predictable.   The coaching staff has no idea how to run a balanced offense to try to catch the opponent off guard or confuse them.

Yeah, your probably right. We should just let him walk and be stuck with Robbie... 🙄

not at all what I said. DJ could be playing better if he wanted to. he also has had this motivation issue in the past quite a bit if you’ve paid attention to his career.

doesn’t mean he isn’t good, just means he could be better, and that says a lot since he is already damn good.

i’d consider that paying him a huge contract is all, the panthers are absolute suckers for players who fall off a cliff after payday

which bring me to Robbie…what a really fuging stupid idea to sign him to what they did, I’d rather have DJ for sure

....According to Brady.... and we didn't even get the defenseless receiver penalty... absolutely an ambulance ball...

 

 

Brady is the GOAT qb and he has valid points about protecting yourself and the receivers, but let's not BS ourselves. He is the most protected QB in the league by the league and it ain't even close.

Ok sorry for misunderstanding. 

I get what you are saying. DJ and Robbie both look to be playing very uninspired. I just know that this summer or next we WILL get a QB and we have to have guys for him.

That said, if we are not getting a QB this year then I would do what the Pats did. Spend the money on all the other positions and try to drop a QB in later - they just lucked into one this year.

It wasn't a hospital ball. It could have been if it were thrown higher and the receiver would have gone up exposing his body. Anderson caught it and had time to at least anticipate the hit. Let's be real here. I am surprised with Andersons physical makeup that he doesn't get hurt more. He is really slight. He is listed a 6'3" and 190 lbs. That is beanpole size.

The same guy who's the reason Gronkowski will be in a wheelchair by the time he's 50. 

Gronk IMO is very similar to Cam.  One of the most unique physical mismatches the league has had to deal with....and opponents went about trying to destroy them as that was an easier option than actually defending them.

    • This is factually incorrect. He was a two time Pro Bowler with the Rams and in fact statistically he was better with the Rams in his best season there than he has been with the Lions(could change with this season). Some of his per game stats have creeped into being marginally better with the Lions but there have not been dramatic differences in his play, actually. The biggest reason that McVay and he ended up splitting was McVay didn't think he could win a title with Goff. TBH.....so far he was 100% correct. Stafford almost immediately won them a SB and Goff in a historic run was about 70% of the reason the Lions faltered in the NFC championship game. He missed critical throws all over the first half and throughout the second half that he normally wouldn't. He choked. So, until Goff actually does win a SB...McVay has been right.
    • they have the best defense they've had in a long time...probably the best in the reid/mahommes era.  but i think they are probably the most beatable they've been in a while as well. record doesn't exactly bear that out, but they just don't look as strong on offense as they usually do. lots of reasons for that, like trying to build chemistry with newer receivers, but right now they just aren't as frightening as they typically are. i mean they'll probably win tomorrow, but i don't see them as the strongest team in the AFC right now. 
    • He will likely remain unsigned the remainder of this season(barring someone being in a pure QB panic AND making poor decisions) largely due to the cost. I do think he will get multiple offers to be a backup QB and perhaps a couple to potentially start this offseason.  I will continue to beat the same horse over and over.....he should go to a successful team with an established starter. If I were him, go to somewhere like SF, LAR, etc. Somewhere with a successful QB coach and brilliant offensive mind and ALSO a set situation at QB. Ride the pine and adjust for a year or two. Chill and be around better culture. I would suggest the same for Bryce but he will be limited to wherever we can trade him.
