the purpose of that QB/role isn't to see the field or play.  It's film, locker room, teaching etc.   They supposed to come to save us.  They are to help the staff with youth they need at the position. 

Sam Darnold serves no purpose.   And we don't need to bring in a 2023 version of Teddy, Sam, Baker. 

 

I've already said that twice. We need a Vet to mentor our kids. And probably play a handful of games. 

 

You have yet to even propose a QB for that position.

 

C'mon man. You have no idea how well Sam could do as a mentor. To dismiss him out of hand is just disingenuous.

I don't have an issue with running the ball well.  I simply credit the rush attack when it deserves it.  Not give the credit the bad QB. 

Carolina's run game was absolutely bonkers during that stretch.  And folks are pimping Sam Darnold?? lol.   What Carolina needs to do is acknowledge that feat....and it is one.  They traded CMC and then went crazy on the ground.   Not just good rushing.  Great rushing.  Especially considering teams were playing it.  

 

Oh I get it. Running game good. QB play bad. Except for the last game, Sam played well this year. Way too many ppl, for whatever reason, just refuse to acknowledge that fact. 

 

Nobody is PIMPING Sam. And I am sure NOBODY wants him as our permanent starter. But it scares you so much you refuse to even admit he played rather well this year.

I just don’t see backup QBs out there that intrigue me more than Darnold who can also be had for cheap. Minshew and Brissett are probably closest to Darnold, but Brissett is 30 y.oz and Minshew played worse this year. Under an excellent offensive team too. 
 

Give me Darnold, unless we want to do the smart thing and truly tank for a 2024 QB.

An ugly win counts just as much as a pretty win. Who cares what it looks like? A WIN is a WIN. 

 

I just don't understand this. Who spends 4 hours watching their favorite team win a football game, then complains about how it was won?

 

We beat a Divisional rival, at their place, and only lost 1 spot in the draft doing so. Triple win.

 

 

our only TD was a recovered fumble by a fuging guard. I'm good on watching that sort of display of offensive ineptitude.

He played decent his first 4-5 starts the previous year as well.  After a while teams are going to make you beat them in the air and overcommit to our running game.  When that happens you get games like last Sunday and many others the previous year from Sam.  I'm not against him as a backup, but I completely understand why people are still very concerned about him...

You know, this idea intriques me. Draft the best QB you can get and let him and Matt fight it out. Tanking without trying. Who would see that coming?

he doesn't have the resume for the job.  nothing disingenuous about that.  his resume is factual. 

when a team is looking for a vet mentor/coach/QB.....you don't go looking at the biggest busts of the last decade.

The "Immaculate Reception" was a fluke play. Should we downplay that as well?

 

Sometimes you are the hammer, sometimes you're not.

I give up. You will never give Sam one ounce of credit. So much so, you firmly believe he can't even be a mentor. Man are you stigmatized. 

 

And you have yet to name just 1 QB you would bring in to do all those things you want from him. And yet not start. Let's here it.

If we’re going that route, give me Max Duggan in mid to late rounds or a guy like DTR from UCLA in the 6th/7th. I think DTR could replace PJ Walker as a 3rd QB type. 
 

I’d want to spend our early picks setting it up for the 2024 rookie to come in and hit the ground running. Unless, of course, Duggan or Corral become the guy. I’m rooting for Corral, but those seem like long odds.

I've been saying this from day one. Play the rookie (whoever it is) and take your lumps. Forget the bridge qb BS. If the rook bombs you are in a good spot to take another shot in the next draft. Rinse and repeat until one sticks.

      Snow in the high country

      By rayzor · Posted

      yeah. winter backpacking trips were the most miserable and amazing experiences. same with the coldest and snowiest hunting  experiences. i love being in it. makes for incredible memories. the worse it was, the more i ended up loving it. made the greatest memories.  i just want to get out of it afterwards.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      I forgot about Jackson...definitely elite.  The sad part of your list is that 2 of them were 'there for the taking for the Panthers'.  Rumor has it that Hurney loved Herbert and was vetoed on trying to trade up.  And rumor has it that Frank & McCown wanted Stroud.  I believe both rumors.

      Snow in the high country

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      I went on a solo elk hunt in the Flat Tops. It was awesomely miserable. LOL It was a late season hunt, I think third season and it was forecasted to snap off cold with highs in the upper thirties and lows in the single digits. fug it, I'm going anyway. They were wrong. The highs were in the low 20s and the lows were in the negative teens. I shivered so hard the first night I thought my teeth were going to break. It was the only time I've ever been legit concerned that I might be in trouble. Crawled out of my sleeping bag and got a fire started and suffered through the night bundled up next to the fire. I slept the next two nights literally wearing every stitch of clothing I'd brought with Nalgenes full of near boiling water in the bottom of my sleeping bag. That was the only way to have non-frozen water in the morning anyway. There was about a foot of snow on the ground and the melt/freeze crust was almost enough to support your weight but you'd go crashing through just as you went or make your step. It was exhausting travel and every step sounded like a rifle shot. Hunting was basically impossible. I never saw an elk in those four days, only saw 5-6 deer. LOL It was brutal but I loved it. Absolutely beautiful country that is never been to before and haven't been back since. I needed that four day complete break from society fighting for my life against the elements. I'm weird like that.
