That’s what I got out of it. It’s what every other owner does. He knows Sam will more than likely be on the roster and possibly the starter next year. Trashing him does nothing good. It also ruins any ounce of value/leverage (not that we have any) if some team is dumb enough to trade for him.

You must be flabbergasted at Smitty then...

Atleast Tepper has to pay the guy.. Smitty has no reason to say anything good about Darnold..

Ooooooohhhhhhh

 

Darnold was at his worst from a clean pocket. Even Steve Smith can have a bad take sometimes. He's also said we should draft Malik Willis.

The reason Darnold is here and we didn't pick up another veteran is because McAdoo thinks he is good and supposedly one reason he came here was because of Darnold. So I don't think it is Tepper being stubborn as much as he is listening to his staff. Hence the reason we haven't gone after a vet or committed to a QB in the draft.

Steve Smith is a great trash talker, but he offers nothing in player evaluation or analysis. I've watched previous drafts and some of the comments he makes about the WR prospects are just absolute trash or so generic. If I remember correctly he thinks Corey Davis was going to be a beast in the league, he is already on his second team.

He also said that Moore  would be good and ultimately replace him. Seems he is right sometimes as well.

Yeah, we will see. He was also known for being a loud mouth in his career, so who knows if that has changed. It typically gets worse and not better with age.

I can attest to that. I have become more open with my thoughts and a bit of a loud mouth as I have gotten older. Not that my options matter to anyone, that's not why I do it. It's more of just not caring what others think of me and my thoughts.  Sometimes you just have to vent when the mood hits you. Or when you hear someone say something idiotic, when is quite often around here.

A rookie needs time to learn the verbiage, the speed of the game, most have never ran a nfl offense or even taking snaps from under center.. Let alone reading defenses learning the playbook and all the mental stuff. 

All this takes time for the best QB prospect..

And there isn't a prospect like Cam, Lawrence, Andrew Luck or Peyton manning in this draft.. So the learning curve is even bigger for lesser prospects.. Which this draft is full of..

While Sam is dumb and makes dumb decisions

No QB in this draft is physicality going to outmatched him.. Speed, Arm ability, athleticism..

No, but moving on is just that. Moving on.

@rippadonn I understand that.. But Reality is you can't move on if the guy is still on your roster and you don't have his replacement in house..

You can't move on if the guy is on the practice field looking better then the guy you want to replace him with..

There is a thing called "giving us the best chance to win".. A HC is beholding to a 73 man locker room a coaching staff and their families.. They can't just move on if that player isn't ready or not as good (at that moment) then another player... You have to put the best 52 on the field every week..You can't just throw a player out their "moving on" if he doesn't give your team the best chance to win every week..

Examples..

Dalton Vs Fields

Jimmy G vs Lance

Even Hebert had to wait until Tyrod Taylor got hurt because he wasn't the best opportunity for a win.. Tyrod was..

Moore is good, but I also don't think he is the same receiver or produced on the same level as Smith did. And yes I understand Moore didn't have stable QB play, but it's whatever at this point.

Why is it so seemingly difficult for some to understand that there is something in between disparaging and outright lying? There's no need to lie, and no need to disparage, and that goes for currently rostered players or any player.

Sometimes it's better to say too little than too much, and sometimes it's better to say nothing at all.

It's hard for ppl to get this and realize what a dumb mistake it was..

And this fake outrage over lying or pumping up a player you still my have to work with. Or accrue some value out of.. Is the dumbest poo ever..

80% of draft season they are lying and you're not having a hissy for over that poo??

Same here. I am largely regarded as an asshole in my industry, which I am okay with.

      JOE PERSON: the sense around league circles is Panthers will take Jalon Walker @8

      By MHS831 · Posted

      There are very few players in this draft that don't have a concern that could cause someone to not like them---I think the longer a player hangs around the top 10 (beginning in February) the more their flaws could withstand the scrutiny. Some fall too far, in my opinion, and are thrown into the scratch and dent bin.  Jack Sawyer (Ohio State) comes to mind, Shavon Revel (East Carolina), Restrepo (Miami).  I wonder if it is not that we found things through research, it could be that we exploited trivial things.  You can't measure the "it" factor. Those three just mentioned--I would have no problem drafting them at a discount.  Restrepo ran a 4.8--not as big a deal as people think--he is going to be a chain-moving slot--he will be sliding underneath, finding a hole in the zone, etc.  Great hands, great attitude.  I take him in the fourth.  Jack Sawyer is the high motor over-achiever.  I think he can be a 8-10 sack guy, block a lot of passes, and hold the edge.  I take him in round 3 if they let him fall that far.  Revel could be one of the top 3 CBs--if he is there at 58, I take him.  When the flaw is what you see when you hear their names, you are blind to their other talents.

      Chris Simms: Jalon Walker is the most overrated player in the draft

      By Icege · Posted

      Sims has to do a little outrage marketing to make the engagement numbers go vroom, but there's been a few analysts that have commented on how Walker is ultimately going to be depending on whomever drafts him to properly develop him. Whether that's starting him off of as a rotational edge guy on obvious passing downs or settling him at ILB will be up to whoever ends up with him. A lot of folks like to point out Isaiah Simmons, and as much as I like Isaiah as a Clemson fan he's not the guy that Jalon Walker is between the ears (this isn't to say Isaiah isn't bright, but didn't seem to breathe football like Jalon does). The kid's got a shot; he's just going to need it somewhere that's going to aim first before firing him off.

      ESPN 3rd mock

      By Icege · Posted

      Evero runs Vic Fangio's scheme and leans heavily on cover 4 with disguised coverages. It is not predominantly cover-2 as suggested. This means that the box safety is going to likely be covering 1/4th as opposed to 1/2 of the field. Whomever the team brings in to be the boundary safety (unless they stay with Demani) is going to be covering the 1/2 part. Though with Evero's scheme, that box safety can also be one of the three underneath coverage guys depending on how they've got it disguised prior to the snap.
