Maybe there are fewer attempts for pressures since we are barely passing now? I wonder where our pressure percentage ranks?

Save the cap room and draft a mid/late rounder

D. Arnold is too close to Darnold....

I want better than 105 passing yards with a 58% completions, ESPECIALLY when our running game is thriving and the box is loaded. You said you wanted better than former MVP Cam Newton in his prime, but you like this? It's getting harder to harder to accept anything you say about QBs seriously anymore. -Remember Kyle Allen was 5-0 at one time as our starter.....

I didn't say he played bad. I said we won because our strategy was keep the ball out of Sam's hands. The staff knows if we have to rely on him we are doomed. Keep the passing game short and simple (6 yards per attempt) and limit the passing attempts so Sam can't lose the game. 46 rushing attempts to 24 passing. So 14/24 for 105 total passing yards is good to you?? 10 incompletion to 14 completions. Drops happen to every QB and even with those 2 he still have 8 incompletions. This is all with the defense loading the box and our rushing game absolutely crushing it. It's funny how you keep talking down draft prospects because you want the next "Manning" or "Montana," but when Sam has a very pedestrian game supported by a great rushing attack you think he played well. If we make it to the playoffs with this style of play from Sam do you want him as our guy next year?

Last one we drafted in the first was Cam, but let's just try every other more expensive strategy first....

Hopefully he won't put himself in the concussion protocol with his helmet headbutting routine....

He is definitely flying under the radar. Only threw 3 INTs last year playing in a tough conference.

You have Jayden in the first? If he gets told he has a first round grade he might leave early, but I am not 100% sure he will...

MARVIN LEWIS!! That entire list pisses me off... Where is Dan Graziano right now so I can drive there and slap him???

I thinking we just roll with McAdoo as HC since he fixed Darnold and then we can resign Darnold to a top QB contract.

As long as he brings his OC with him. I heard he is great...

Minshew, Richardson, and Eagles OC has been mentioned a few times on here.

Lol at resigning Darnold. Yeah let's roll with him, what's the worst that can happen?? We can always sign Cam midseason and have them share snaps during the game! We should also looking at resigning Rhule while we are at it.

I’m just talking about passing attempts and passing yards per attempt. The one drop didn’t change the game plan. Run the ball and keep it out of Sam’s hands.

As long as they limit his passing snaps and play “keep the ball of out Sam’s hands,” we have a chance…

It depends on how Wilks finishes the season and who the first time HC is.

I think fans (like myself) have some PTSD from the Fox/Rivera run first, overly conservative playing style. Wilks looks to be cut from a similar cloth, we some of us are concerned. However, looking at the last game, Wilks went for it on 4th and goal (didn’t make it, but still was aggressive), made adjustments after halftime and had Chinn playing some LB, AND had his team prepared after a bye week. That makes me feel a lot better about signing him if we do. It will be hard to sign and keep a good OC, but the Buffalo route looks to work where they just move up the assistants/promote from within.

I would be ok with all of this.

Yeah considering he crushed it this past year and is still viewed as a mid to last round pick. If he had those numbers in the SEC/ACC he would be way up the draft boards. Usually the smaller conference guys need elite traits to get drafted high like Allen, Lance, Wentz etc...

I would be very happy with that!

Is Pickett playing? I think he is in the protocol. Either way I just have a feeling their defense is going to give us trouble. If they stop our run and we have to rely on Darnold it could get ugly. It's just a feeling I have. Maybe because the last couple times the Steelers had their way with us.
