Harrison making up for his earlier mistakes.

Just chalk it up as another first round bust by this stellar FO

Darnold may never be better than a mid tier starter, but man does that feel like a huge upgrade at times.

FIFY

Ballsy move talking poo about our fans when you lose 30-0... By that logic, playing in a "not sleepy" stadium means they will lose by 60?

Just remember. There was a time when people here were wanting to give Darnold franchise money after a few games with us. Yeah, he can look great at times. But like the Vikings learned, he will eventually regress and when he does, it doesn't look pretty. Still wanted to keep him back then with a more affordable deal, but I don't make the calls around here.

Injury report says he's week-to-week with an injured pride

Agreed. For XL I'd guess NFL speed football awareness is his #1 problem. Failing to get 2 feet down with 5 yards of room in the AZ game as a 2nd year player feels like the beginning of the end. As you point out, someone like UDFA Coker managed that his first game. I really don't think it's primarily effort. For XL, when the lights come on his go out.

What a throw by Darnold, goddamn. 35 yards down field dropped right into his arms

damn what did gloRilla do to XL

Yeah, he's a head scratcher. He has a ton of talent he just forces too much.

And a great throw by Murray. That is what I always seem with Murray, several highlight reel plays, along with several wtf plays.

Harrison seems to have lost some confidence. He still at least shows flashes, and he's been far more productive than XL. But maybe a bigger disappointment in some ways given people expected so much more from Harrison

That was a damn nice catch by Harrison

Darnold has definitely improved over the years. Murray has not.

Darnold and Baker weren’t as bad as we made them which is impressive because Sam was terrible before he got here.

He may have his priorities straight. If he’s happy doing what he’s doing, why risk permanent body or brain injury? It sucks for us, and we could and should have drafted someone else. Just more proof our scouting department needs serious overhaul.

I like the helmets and think I would like the jersey if it was just the off white without the poop specks

Their defense is decent. But I think they're getting gassed by a terrible offense. I'm enjoying seeing Darnold playing pretty well.

You can never tell how these guys will react to having a lot of money for the first time. In Harrison's case the money shouldn't be his problem. But it does seem to be effort. XL's problem seems to be a bit of both. It does go to show that draft position doesn't mean a damn thing when UDFA's are playing better than both.

This is correct. I said it a few days ago.. if he parks a few mil in even a modest growth fund before the age of 28? He good. I have and will continue to say it. the 3 drops on the final drive of the Eagles game was the moment the FO knew they needed to look for his replacement. That’s when he showed that if given a chance, he will lose you a game.

I'm glad that the defense has played a little better this year. The defense has forced at least one turnover in every game this year, it's just that Bryce has turned it over way too much to offset the differential. I will say that the Falcons offense was really easy to game plan against. Every football analyst was talking about how vanilla and predictable their offense was. Let's give this defense a few more weeks to see what they are really about.

Minor cope but we could have had McConkey or Coleman. The Cardinals could have taken Alt, Nabers or Bowers.

Wish we could make the guy who pushed for Bryce's head roll
