GDT: Carolina Panthers part 2: Is Darnold good or not?

[AhosDatsyukian]

Our D this year is just truly filthy. The pass rush is insane, secondary rock solid with a ton of potential (we'll add Bouye to the group next week, coming off suspension/injury, wasn't that long ago he was a top 5-10 CB league wide). Only piece we're really missing on D is an elite MLB, if only we knew one who is still young and retired early in his prime but may be willing to return to join an elite D...

I didn't see it live but saw it in a tweet, that was the most Jameis interception of all time, just a mind-boggling bad throw.



Fun fact, Burris is another former Jets draft pick who has done alright outside the Jets organization.

Saints Block a 50 yarder and have a nice return. Maybe that's why they keep doing cowardly punts..

Sack by the D on 4th down..

 

[Tryamw]

Darnold pass to the Saints Only way he could have made it easier is to hand it to the Saint.

I jinxed him!.
The Saints with Hill seem ready to take advantage of that gift.

Kamara went backwards..
Saints with the TD QB run.

This is where we f*** around and allow the other team back in the game despite dominating them for 3 quarters

Yep

McCaffrey is still a crazy RB
Carolina's Turnstiles are getting thin they are looking into Tissue paper.. (O Line injuries)

That's a Pass to me.. Just like Darnold's.. I hope it's fixed.. cause to me both were passes. I also don't think it was a lateral.. But that would be interesting.
Refs gave us a gift there with the PF

TD McCaffrey. XP Fail We still don't have a kicker.

Time to cut another kicker

Don't we have to eat a Roster spot on that guy for a few weeks since we signed him from a Practice squad?

So what's Morton or Gary Anderson doing nowadays..
Or maybe we just say Fudge FG's so TD's and 2points!. and 4th down fails!.
So 4th and Short in "FG" range I hope we run it.. FG attempt and good.

yeah he has to stay on the active roster for 3 weeks, so 2 more weeks before we can release him. I'm guessing we demote him and sign a new kicker anyways and just eat the roster spot for these 2 weeks. such a shitshow of a situation at kicker though

 

[Tryamw]

I miss kicking it into the end zone on kickoffs...

 

[Tryamw]

Horn get's his first! (INT!) PF Against.. But it holds.

 

[Wolfpuck]

2-0 is 2-0 but we have got to get better in the second half going forward. Darnold just needs to clean up some of his mistakes and he’ll be fine. The defense is the 100% truth.

 

[Tryamw]

I'll agree that's a rule I don't like but

 

[AhosDatsyukian]

Nice win, albeit against a depleted Aints team. Looking at this schedule I can easily see 6-7 wins in the first 8 games.

And then maybe belief can trump skill
Oline and Kicking are major weaknesses.

 

[Novacane]

I don't care how it happens, a win against the Saints always feels nice

 

[Tryamw]

Looking at the Chargers maybe I was too harsh on our Terrible O Line... I'm not sure The chargers have NFL people there.. I think they invested in Tissue paper..

Touchbacks are statistically a bad outcome, though. You always get the same result, and there is something to predictability, but the average field position for your opponent is better.

 

[Canes]

I hate Sean Payton, the New Orleans team a.k.a. the Catholicism-pedophilia acceptance group which the NFL conveniently swept under the rug, and Jameis Winston so much. Still a lot of concerns for the Panthers but today is a good day.

We also can't cover kicks well

 

[hockeynjune]

We have some work to do no doubt, but I'm like'n this team.

 

[HisIceness]

Good win, the defense is awesome and about as good as you can get for a rebuilding team. Chinn is a star in the making.

 

[Highest Boss]

I am using Darnold as practice for defending everything Kotkaniemi does.

First Terry Rozier. Then Sam Darnold. Now Jesperi Kotkaniemi. All 3 reclamation projects across our pro sports teams will be clear successes.
