McAdoo now gets to work with TWO quarterbacks he wasn't high on four years ago.

I hope everyone considers McAdoo a huge step up from Joe Brady.  I also like him as a counter to Rhule's decision making, although that didn't work w/ Mayfield apparently.  I would swap him for Rhule right now.  He didn't have the best situation in NY as Jerry Reese had really let the talent run down there.

i'm sure both Darnold and Mayfield knew about MacAdoo's comments. I'm just curious their thoughts on each other having to work together now. i mean he had a couple good things to talk about each of the two guys...but thought they were limited in what they would be able to do and he's not been wrong on them.

who knows....maybe he can coach them up. i'm just not all that optimistic about either one of them. i think MacAdoo would rather be focusing on Corral. I know I would.

I’d be real interested to see if Baker invites Darnold to the session he is hosting with our receivers and skill players

Sounds like he was spot on to me. Baker is a turnover machine because he is a short pocket passer with small hands and Sam can't pass worth a damn. Add to that nugget that now Sam has PTSD. Then think about the fact that Baker whiffed with a real life video game roster offense. Someone said McAdoo should leave the scouting to the scouts. McAdoo may have a very stupid haircut, but he wasn't too far off with his assessment.

I mean, is McAdoo a counter to Rhule's decision making?  McAdoo when he had to ability to really show what his decisions really were as HC.......showed to be a really bad decision maker.  From dealing with players to managing a football game.

Baker has already shown to be a lot better in the NFL than McAdoo thought he would be and if Ben didn't want him at this point I highly doubt Baker would be here right now. 

That is a massive assumption. We have no actual idea how the hierarchy breaks down at the moment. It's possible Rhule didn't want Baker. It's possible McAdoo didn't want Baker.

We aren't gonna know that until people start snitching on that situation.

I would day given the general level of dysfunction that is reportedly rife in the organization, it's hard to assume much if anything.

that whole dynamic has to be jacked. everyone wants to be a leader. it's going to be interesting to see who shows up at all for it. i mean why would anyone show up just because baker invited them? it's not like baker is some legend stepping into a leadership role and everyone responds just because it's him.

guy has to earn that kind of respect.

And how much of an upgrade is McAdoo? We aren't gonna know that until the season is over. 

Lots of Brady apologists and hope after Rhule Year 1. It changed quickly.

Last year, we put Darnold--who struggled in NY behind a horrible OL---behind a horrible OL (30th in NFL pass pro).  The offseason, we added 3 starting caliber OL and BC should be ready to take the next step.  We can trash Darnold all we want--but he had a terrible OL, no real TE threat, WRs with the dropsies, an OC just out of high school---not exactly a recipe for success.  There are few QBs in the NFL who could have prospered here-if any.

Baker had a good OL in Cleveland last year, but he was playing injured for most of the season.  His stats were still better than Darnolds'.  In 2020, with a good OL, Baker was above average, winning a playoff game in Pittsburgh. 

My point?  Expectations are pretty low right now, but I think conditions have drastically improved for both QB prospects.  I feel the OL will be very good--when is the last time we could say that?  I think our WR corps will be better, expecting improvement from Marshall.  Play calling should be better, now that we fired Brady, all agreeing that the NFL is not the SEC, and you can't win by simply having better players.

And then there is Corral---a bit raw, but a very talented steal at the end of round 3.  He is the type of player that is succeeding in the NFL now, and he has promise.

Personally, I think we could have a really good QB room if all works out.  While it is not Cam Newton/Derek Anderson, it potentially could be much better than in 2021.  The key will be to see how the Panthers develop talent, control the locker room, and make wise decisions moving forward.

He went 11-5 with a team that caused Coughlin to get fired. Again, that team's talent had run its course w/ sorry jerry reese and ended up stinking the next year.   I don't see his time in NY as that negative.

Hosting these sessions are the first step to earning respect. He is finding ways to spend time with the offense to establish chemistry and get to know the players. This is the typical first step for any new qb to any team.

I mean, seperate OC from HC.  His reviews as a HC were absolutely brutal and he got a quick exit.  And basically was outcasted from the league because it went so bad. 

We were just talking decision making.  Best way to view decision making of McAdoo is when he was the boss/HC.  McAdoo IMO was clearly viewed as a poor one.  From how he dealt w/ people to managing a game.    His HC time is the best indicator of his actual decisions making.... so I just don't buy him being some great positive there to balance out Rhule. 

Can McAdoo run a normal NFL practice and prep? Which we haven't had under Rhule? Yes.  If Rhule lets him.  That would be the positive of McAdoo.

      Crazy stat

      By Luuuuuuuuuuke59 · Posted

      The bottom lines to me are that a) we played well enough to beat the best team in the league and b) Bryce Young is growing into a bridge QB role (his ceiling) for us. As much as I don't want BY around after the season, it seems DC can still build the O with a game manager at QB for now. Best case scanario, we can build the D through the draft this year and take a QB we have conviction outside the 1st this or next draft. If BY keeps improving, we are going to win a couple more games this year.

      Bryce developing before our eyes

      By *FreeFua* · Posted

      Bryce has been a completely different QB since coming back. That started in Denver where it was obviously he was playing a lot more loose and willing to push the ball downfield  Bryce continues to build off of the previous weeks performance and that’s what you want to see Bryce has been making some real good anticipation throws. Reading defenses well. Pushing the ball downfield (7 throws of 20+ air yards yesterday. 8 if you want to include PI to Thielen). The deep ball accuracy has been there. Some of Young’s best throws yesterday were incompletions. Sideline balls to XL and Moore both should’ve been caught. RZ dot to Tremble should’ve been caught. And another RZ ball to Moore that Young gave him a chance at. Bryce is starting to execute Canales offense and yesterday Canales finally opened it up a bit. Canales was to blame for the 126 passing yards in Germany as he played a more conservative game.  The next bit I’m looking for his for Young to be a bit more decisive with running the ball. Start putting that on film and it’ll help open things up a tad

      Gameday Thread: KC-CAR

      By 45catfan · Posted

      This KC team isn't the juggernaut it once was.  How many one score games have they won this season?  How many of those one score wins would probably have been loses if Mahomes wasn't the QB?  Their secondary is vulnerable and it was obvious today.  Grandpa Thielen was able to get open at will all game long. Bryce played well, but thinking this is the exact same KC defense Young was able to move the ball against as last year isn't going to compute.  Last year's KC defense was #2 overall.  They have regressed. I've said it before, Bryce can move the ball before the red zone, but once there, he struggles.  He is not a threat with his legs and the passing windows get much tighter.  He's not turning the ball over, so that is a great place to start and build upon.  I still question much better he can get.  Beyond a game manager?  I highly doubt it.
