All of those are better QBs than Mayfield, in all seriousness. Maybbbbe not Glennon, but probably close.

Bucs will probably be playing from behind more often than not so there will be plenty of chances to wrack up yards. Evans is a gunslingers best friend.

Good thing they signed another veteran WR and drafted one in the 2nd round as well.

Without Chark, it's a bottom in the league WR group (many would have argued it was regardless). He was going to be the #1 and also the deep threat.

Also, Darnold news: https://twitter.com/NFL_DovKleiman/status/1694420309892354254?t=tAjV_7wpmWxy60d84JQ5cg&s=19

People wanted to dunk all over the Panthers when Mayfield had that miraculous comeback with the Rams the week we released him, but the truth is that he isn't some secret stud just waiting to be unlocked; he's just capable of a nice performance every now and again. I had high hopes for him in Carolina, but after a certain point, a guy who coulda-woulda-shoulda'd if maybe his offensive coordinators, or his receivers, or his [fill in the blank here] were different is just...not actually very good.

I think we should all just be thankful that Carson Wentz hasn't made his way to the NFCS.

That's the chance you take with a dude that's averaged 8 games started a year for his career so far.

Oh yeah, Wentz is absolutely the most NFCS quarterback who does not (currently) play in the NFCS.

He's at least on a one-year deal, so the front office wasn't betting big on him or anything, but yeah. Little unfortunate that he seems to be Young's go-to guy and is already injured.

On the other hand, Matt Rhule

I'm not trying to make excuses for the guy, but if you compare McVay to Rhule...

I'm starting to wonder if Ryan Jensen's career might be done. Since his knee exploded on the second day of camp last year he hasn't really practiced despite playing the playoff game last year. This year he has done some individual work but nothing against other players or 11 on 11. He didn't even travel to NY for the Jets practice/game. I'm guessing he goes on IR to start the season and maybe he'll get the strength back but it's look not so great right now.

Yeah, it was really unfortunate for both Darnold and Baker to try and rebuild with him. I dunno if either had a chance before him, but he didn't help in the slightest

I mean, sure -- and I'll poo poo on Rhule faster than anybody -- but if even McVay couldn't make Mayfield into something serviceable, there's probably not much to work with.

Not much anyone could do with a QB coming into a system in week 12 or whatever it was.

I cant remember which sports caster it was on a podcast but someone compared him to a formula one car.

If any one of like 5 things is off on the day for Baker you might as well pack it in.

The thing that really stood out to me is he just isn't a very good thrower. Balls were poorly placed, weak, wrong trajectories, etc.

And that's not even getting into the absolutely ridiculous amount of batted passes at the line of scrimmage. That oddly seemed like a far worse problem for him in Carolina than anywhere else, but still.

That was a problem for Cam too and I think it was because teams were figuring out the timing of all of the plays.
