I knew Darnold was a dud from the beginning. His jersey number is 14. When has a QB wearing 14 ever been great? I'm only partially kidding 😅  I still didn't see Sam as a Dan Fouts but thought Brad Johnson was at least a stretch (Armstrong) target.

 

Seriously though, it would be interesting to see a statistical connection between jersey numbers and success--if there is one (probably not). I guess interesting enough for the Indy Star to do a story on it: https://www.indystar.com/story/sports/nfl/colts/2021/02/23/nfl-best-quarterback-numbers-in-history/4555068001/

The moment we picked up his option it stopped being good value. 

We as a team had to pick up the 5th yr. With no 5th year, if he had played good … then a new contract would have cost a lot of money. With the 5th yr, if he had played good …. We would have saved on the cap.

so basically we were in a bad place, and had to play the cap game

but with hindsight, we see that he was terrible. So I don’t put that on Fitter

We had several years of tape of Darnold at the Jets that showed what we know now. There was no way that picking up his 5th year option was the right gamble. We should have put the ball in Darnold’s court and forced him to show us these three years of terrible tape was not him. Unsurprisingly he did not.

So *If Fitterrer sticks around, it sounds like he's still on the drop a young QB behind this rebuilt O-line and pretty good defense, and you're on your way to trending up. I wish we could get more clarity on who made the Darnold/Baker/Corral decisions but it feels like Rhule was forcing a bunch of random win now moves to try and cover up his lack of coaching skills

      My Personal Takeaway from This Game vs Cheifs

      By Hoenheim · Posted

      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.

      Team is looking good for next season

      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.

      Bryce Young - Good and Bad, what say you?

      By frankw · Posted

      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.
