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

[Mvp2014]

not a hospital ball.  DJ has to scare that safety and he failed

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

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.

DJ should have grabbed the safetys jersey, it wasn't Sam's fault he is trying his hardest.

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.

Deejay fugged up.

 

He knew the ball wasn't coming to him.

 

Fugging fugger quit.

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.

yeah it was more of a walk in clinic or urgent care ball in my opinion.

hey man im trying to be nice here, jesus

All the mental gymnastics in this thread geez.

[Shaqil915]

That one was Robbies fault, he didn't mind control that DB well enough to save DJ from that hit.
