I will cut off my right nut before I go through another year of “this year Darnold will be good because he finally has _____ “

Did I say he'd be good?  That would be a big a bowl of "nope".  What I was saying--and what you read were different.  If Darnold improves behind a better OL--and it is logical to assume that he will--then don't blow the #6 pick on a mediocre QB in a bad draft year.  Let Darnold play--you are paying him to do so.  Instead of trying to bring in a scrub again to fill the void.  It is too late to go QB shopping.  Build the OL, the DL and then, if Darnold has not improved dramatically (he probably won't) you should be in position to draft a good QB in a good draft--

Irony: a literary technique by which the full significance of a character's words or actions are clear to the audience or reader although unknown to the character.

You defined "dramatic" Irony.  there are different kinds.

Absolutely.  Take a year, gather assets, hire a new coach, then strike.

    • What I really learned here is that the Carolina Panthers aren't anywhere near as bad as I initially thought they were earlier this year.  We've got a young and growing offense with some promising parts. But it still needs some tweaks and improvements.  We really still could still use a dominant #1 WR. But Chubba,  Legette, Coker,  and J.Sanders have generally looked decent. Bryce took a big leap after the benching. We can score enough points to keep pace with 2x defending super bowl champions, so offense isn't a huge issue. Main thing that needs improvement is defense. We sorely need a CB 2, and a number of new players at Dline and LB.  We're not quite as bad at edge with Wonnum showing promise.  But we definitely need 1 or 2 more edges Clowney is old.  Run D is probably worse prevailing theme these past couple years. We really need a good young stud or two to pair with Derrick Brown and another LB to pair up with Trevin Wallace. If Morgan and Canales can focus on rebuilding the defense this off-season and possibly going out and getting a #1 WR. This team could easily be somewhere around 7-10 to 10-7 and flirting with playoffs in 1 or 2 seasons. Overall this game has made me feel alot more positive about the direction of the team.
    • With our picks we need pass rush, lb, Safety, a speedster yac wr, o line depth and I still want a mid round qb. We got 9 picks and 8 in the first 5 rounds. If they pull Off another solid draft we be cooking. 
    • We had one passing touchdown against the Giants and one passing touchdown against the Chiefs today. Yes a good backup can replicate that. And that is why Andy Dalton in significantly less games has the same number of 30 point outings as Bryce Young. I am on board with you guys about wanting to be hopeful for the future. Today was a good performance to build on especially at home. But let's please keep things in perspective. BTW the Bucs who honestly aren't even that good blew the doors off the Giants today after we went to overtime against them with 17 points. Again. Perspective.
