Mentioned it in the gameday thread, but he appeared to be out there A LOT. And he definitely played great from what I saw... I was somewhat surprised bc I liked what I saw from Franklin last season and he apparently has passed Franklin on the depth chart. Hope he can get back out there ASAP.

I saw a lot I was encouraged by, and excited about moving forward. That 2nd qtr, he looked like a 3rd overall pick/franchise QB. But, ngl, all the hype I felt from that, it quickly subsided in the 2nd half, and honestly, the 2nd half left a sour taste in my mouth overall. I'm hoping he just feels more confident about what he did right early, and carries that forward and builds on it. But, that 2nd half was hard to watch... I know it wasn't all on Sam bc Brady's playcalling went to poo too, but that was rough.

Hello, Jake Verity.

That back shoulder fade should've been caught, but it was a tough, contested catch. The misfire to him in the endzone was big, because a TD in his first game completely changes the outlook of a stat line. Overall, he played great. My biggest criticism of Darnold from yesterday was a few of his reads and the misfires he had, when he had them - most notably missing TMJ in the endzone, the pass to Ian Thomas in the endzone could've had a little more touch on it but still should've been caught, and the miss to Robby on the deep pass in the second half. Any of those 3 passes being completed, especially TMJ and Thomas, would've changed the whole game. TMJ can only be as good as his OC and QB allow him to be. We need more production from receiver going forward, and that falls on Brady and Darnold.

Yeah, I didnt buy into the hype from camp and preseason... after reading up on him when we signed him and seeing how slight he was, then seeing for myself him play in preseason and get absolutely ragdolled while not seeming to get open as much as was reported in camp, then him pouting when he was getting hit st the Colts practices, I already figured he was going to struggle. TBH, Thomas may step up now, and that would be just fine with me.

I'll give him some slack bc when we saw him where he excelled, it was on the left side, I know at guard and I believe he played a little bit st tackle too. But yeah, he was horrible on the right today in pass pro. Brightside is, for the most part, the run blocking was great.

With the miss today and hitting the goalpost in preseason, I'm done with this experiment. I dont understand why we didn't cut him when the Ravens let Verity go, because we actually gain an asset back for letting him go... and the fact we didn't attempt a 50 yarder just adds to my issue with him. With his seemingly inconsistent accuracy, and he can't even attempt a 50 yarder, we need to try Verity out. Bigger leg and seemed really accurate in preseason, and we save a draft pick.

Joe Brady inside the 20s and playcalling with the lead. And...

Who didn't see this coming after that opening drive of the 2nd half?

Welp, Brady kept effing around and took his foot off the gas, and here we are... smh...

Off playcalling is pretty shitty in the 2nd half so far. Brady not adjusting to their defensive adjustments.

Pressure starting to get to Sam.

I remember that being a complaint by some when he was with the Bills, so I know there's something there, but having watched him quite a bit with my own eyes, I would still take him over Teddy 10 times out of 10. He is still much more dynamic.

Great play, Donte!

Yeah, that pass to Robby was super close to busting that drive open.

And what happened to preseason Charlton? This guy sucks.

He definitely has. Always been good, but just seems everytime he gets the job, the team immediately looks to upgrade. He deserves a good run to finish out his career.

Dan Arnold sucks.

Good news is, though the pass blocking is iffy, the run blocking is legit.

My Gawd, Reddick just mollywhopped someone.

Hartsfield is getting a ton of burn today.

Not the start we wanted for the second half... smh.

Paradis and Daley got destroyed.

Damn, Sam. Are you trying to make me believe? I think he's trying to make me believe.
