Jesus Christ there are tons of quarterbacks getting rushed within a second, but they at least have the balls to throw or run. Pay attention to Jones in this very game Sam had room to run there as well. He just can’t process and makes terrible decisions.

Sam panics the second the ball is snapped

It is… get rid of the damn ball, sam throws it way too late for a stupid 3 yard pass

It wouldn’t be a first down anyway, checkdown Darnold is back. Where tf is the downfield passing?

Actually they picked Watson, couldn't get him, then picked Stafford, and he said no to Carolina even though we had the better trade offer for Detroit

This is year 4 and Darnold has never been considered a top 25 NFL QB, and his stats this season suggest the same. He is definitely gone if he doesn't turn it around by midseason, no way they go into next offseason with this. You have to be kidding yourself if you think the best coaches in the league could turn Darnold into an elite QB and that this is a coordinator/coaching problem. McVay would have shipped Darnold out faster than he did Goff. I honestly think Darnold would be inaccurate if he played opposing defenses with no d-lineman on the field, he is very skiddish and not confident in his throws at all. It's a shame because he has size and phyiscal talent. His brain needs replaced maybe Drew Brees can lend him his.

So they publicly went after Watson and Stafford, and correctly passed on Fields and Jones.. who were they supposed to bring in?

Again any coach is going to look bad with a bottom 5 QB, it is ridiculously difficult to win with one. Do you think McVay, Belichick, or Reid would be better with this team?

They are both below average QB's, the waves with Darnold are just way choppier whereas Bridgewater is a stale pool of water on the road. In the end it will net us the same result. Team will be aggressive in the offseason to upgrade the position

Any deep ball for one. He has been very inaccurate on throws going longer than 30 yards. Brady and Rhule are screaming for more downfield passing since they got here since we have the WR's for it and they still can't get it. Physically he can throw them, but he has horrible timing and can't hit receivers in stride

Sam is too inconsistent to have drives like that regularly, I wouldn't get your hopes up. This is his fourth year and he still makes dumb throws like the first throw of the game

Darnold can't throw all the passes they want him to and it's super concerning, it's going to be a long season

He does both. No narrative here, sorry your boy just doesn't have it

No coach would do well with a bottom 5 NFL QB Team was actively going after Waston and Stafford, couldn't get both. This team would be 5-1 or 6-0 easily with either

Sam has to throw to where recievers will be. He does one of four things: 1. Too afraid to throw it so he takes a sack 2. Throws it behind receiver so they have to stop or slow down, which causes some drops (not all drops, but some) 3. Gets fed up with not being able to complete a pass so he throws a dumb pass that has been intercepted a ton lately 4. Throws a quick 5-7 yard pass when he drops back, which is what he has only been completing, unfortunately Either way, he doesn't have the awareness and is too afraid to be an NFL starting QB. Good guy, but time to move on (again)

Talent? We've have a bottom 5 QB, you aren't going to get many wins until we get an above average QB

You are blaming a coordinator for Sam's horrible throws and pocket awareness

This is the funniest thing I've seen all day. He's without a doubt one of the worst 5 quarterbacks in the NFL. Who is worse?

Luvu has been such an awesome addition

There’s no way Walker can be worse than this. I mean Darnold is a helpless goose out there. Get Walker in there and run some QB runs and open the offense up

Give Brady a league average QB and he'll thrive. Receivers are open, better than average QB's can also throw them more open. Bridgewater couldn't throw the ball past 10 yards and Darnold can't throw the ball at all, its a shame Stafford turned us down for LA

Lets be clear, Fields is playing as bad and Mac Jones is a 4th round pick at best. The team clearly wanted Watson and then Stafford, and both ended up unavailable. I mean we had a trade lined up for Stafford and he turned us down. I imagine will we give up a lot for Watson or Russell Wilson next offseason, the team is really just a franchise QB and a few lineman away from Superbowl contender. Any functioning QB would thrive with these weapons and defense.

No, they wouldn’t. Line has given Sam plenty of time most of the day

Brady has been fine. He’s right.. it’s execution. Brady is getting lots of guys open, Sam is just too scared to throw it and Teddy couldn’t physically throw it

I can’t stand a QB that panics as soon as he drops back. Darnold does it on every pass play. It’s the absolute worst trait to have in a QB.
