Yeah, Darnold making some ridiculous play or a dumb int is the X-factor in this sort of game

If people had watched him actually play this year they would know he is still the same guy. He just has a fugload of weapons that are typically wide open more often than they are not. Also, he has literally turned the ball over 16 times in 16 games. And that is a career low.

Yeah this game might single handedly ruin his chances of getting a $200M contract. JJ went down so early it's really tough to say if Darnold would have actually beat him out for the starting job all season

Eh....Darnold is a backup caliber QB and Goff is a known choker. This isn't mega surprising.

Well those of us that watched Darnold play in NY and here knew that it was unlikely he would fully turn the page on what held him back from being a franchise QB despite having every tool needed. When things get tough he panics and reverts to the same old same old. It's on tape over and over and over.

But still even some Panthers fans here have bought into the hype this season. Even had a guy here who just started posting in September dig up some posts of me criticizing Darnold for a game just like this saying I was wrong about him. @Joe Bear you watching the game buddy?

I mean, I never honestly bought into him getting a mega contract. I don't think many teams out there would be willing to pay him that aren't QB desperate.

    • Cheers OP. I wanted TMac to be the pick and was so excited, and surprised, when his name was called.    Last year, I wanted one of the Xaviers, Worthy or Legette. So Dan has been delivering on my wish lists. Now I hope it pays off over the next few years.    With our trade up last year into the first, we could have a dynamic WR duo on cost-controlled contracts for 4 years. 
    • Yea I have it.  When it flares it can be very severe.  I had an extended hospitalization a couple years ago and it took a while to recover.  Can’t imagine trying to deal with that as a pro athlete.  It’s hard enough as a desk jockey.
    • I think the difference is that The Golden Calf of Bristol and Cam were just big personalities with big time talent (The Golden Calf of Bristol just lacked any consistency, leading to most of us hating him because it felt like he pulled big plays out of his ass). Sanders is a good talent who is completely full of himself and the ego feels unearned. You should WANT to change the bad culture of the losing franchise you expect to go to as a top pick...but that's a thing you keep to yourself or articulate well enough that it doesn't come off as "we're doing poo my way, if you don't like that, don't draft me".  You don't create an entire room touting yourself as legendary when you did absolutely nothing legendary at the collegiate level. Nobody is going to be fondly remembering Shadeur Sanders the college QB. Johnny Football is there, Cam is there, Vince Young is there, RGIII is there, The Golden Calf of Bristol is there.   Sanders needs humility and to pry himself away from his father. His father is going to tank his career before it is even started.    Sanders may bounce around the league as a backup for a few years, he'll play in select games and look like a backup but he'll have that one game where he pops off and that game will be used to say "see?! He's great!" and then he'll get the start and never live up to that game again.
