Alright, what do you think he does this year stat wise?

I think he’s gonna play an impact role. One of the things not mentioned is he doesn’t have a learning curve with the playbook because of Brady. I see him stepping right in and performing.

im not big on predicting stats. But I would be very surprised if he doesn’t have an impact year 1

Like it or not Moore is ahead of him on the depth chart.  Could that change, sure but then he would be wr #3.  If that happens where is his production coming from?  He cutting into DJ's production, Anderson, Cmacs?  Oh and there is also a new pass catching TE we just signed.  I am just not seeing where his targets, playing time, etc are going to come from.  Now if someone got hurt..........

that doesn't mean anything.  Jimmy Clausen was ahead of Cam Newton on the depth chart at this time in 2011.    

Moore should be ahead going into camp simply because he is a vet and the kid just got drafted.   Simple as that.  Doesn't mean anything right now.  We won't have a clue about depth charts until they put some pads on and start working. 

The Seattle WR has never logged more than 400ish yards in a season.  He is going to keep a talented rookie off the field if that rookie is ready and we hit on the pick.  Look at Higgins, Claypool, etc last season.  Should Moore of kept them off the field?

We had 3 1k+ from scrimmage receivers last year and 1 1k+ from scrimmage rb. DJ Samuel and Robbie. I would be shocked if Moore is in over Marshall even at the beginning of the season. The targets are there. I think Arnold is overrated around here. He has like 700 total yards and 7 tds in 3 seasons. Brady doesn’t seem to use TE much but we’ll see if that changes. He could surprise.
 

I think we might see DJ in the slot more with Marshall and Robbie lined up more outside. But Marshall can line up anywhere and produce which gives him flexibility for more targets especially in the redzone being 6’3” and 200 lbs.

 

I’m usually not one to think a rookie WR can step in and make an impact but Marshall is kinda different.

Joe Brady at LSU also had 5 guys with at least 45 catches.  On 2 less games than guys will have next season.

Yeah but this is also contingent on Darnold performing.  
 

Also I know he has medical concerns and if he’s ok with those I really think Marshall has the ability to be a #1 receiver in the future. I loved this pick and at the bottom of the 2nd was incredible value. He needs to hone in on his route running more but that will come with just being a professional and being surrounded by good coaches. Super talented and motivated guy. Brady was grinning ear to ear in the interview about drafting him.

well, I was just trying to highlight how the Brady pass offense by design spreads the ball around. Both in college and the pros.

I don't know if Darnold is the answer.  I do think Darnold has proven to be good enough to at minimum have us compete in games and win some.  

I dunno. I’m talking contingent on Darnold if he just totally mentally bombs which I think is possible. I’ve been watching some of his games. Some of the poo he does makes no fuging sense. And they are huge backbreaking stuff.  Like huge brain farts. We hope he can be coached out of that but I think some of that is just in his dna. Bad habits. Brady has a pretty qb friendly system so I’ll hope he can make the most of his opportunities. I’ll hope for the best.

well, I do think the manner in which he allows us to compete in games will be vastly different than Teddy.  

I do think Darnold is of the Jake mold.  Clearly more athletic.  All depends if Joe can get the good version of that out of him.

Maybe. Teddy was consistent and conservative which is good and obviously very bad at times. Darnold is like the opposite end of the spectrum. Teddy could keep us in games by not screwing up and feeding the ball around like a point guard. But we could never rely on him to take over a game to win. Darnold has the ability to keep us completely out of games with turnovers and boneheaded mistakes. 
 

one thing is for certain Darnold is ten billion times more exciting then teddy.

    • Excellent post. Before yesterday I hadn't posted in about 2 years. I just popped in every once in a while to get updates. A couple of guys around here are excellent at that and one is funny as heck. Then there's MHS831, when I do pop in I always check out your threads. I really appreciate your takes and how you explain them and also the effort you put into it. Plus, your a class act. Grade: A I also came here to mention the UDFA C I understand we signed. I've read that he was ranked in the 6th round for what that's worth. He had a solid career and has traits that are special. He needs to be developed but he has potential and his strength is run blocking and his athleticism fits what we want to do offensively I think.  I think he was a late draft target that they believed was safe so they drafted other players and picked him up after the draft instead. If so, that's smart and very disciplined.    Here's a report on his strengths: SCOUTING REPORT: STRENGTHS Raym is a work in progress with high-end physical traits. He’s extremely light on his feet for a 300-pounder, a natural knee bender who plays with balance and leverage. Solid positional run blocker who flashes the nasty demeanor and killer instinct scouts covet. Shows a good feel for combo blocks, and Raym displays good quickness and flexibility when moving to the second level, capable of sealing the back side on reach blocks He’s a coordinated athlete who can win at the point of attack in the run game, and he can also move to consistently land blocks at the second level. Has the strong leg drive to create movement at the line of scrimmage, consistently putting defenders on the ground. Finishes and doesn't quit; competitor with a positive attitude and leadership traits that coaches admire. He's a dawg. Badass. I think his skills fit what we want to do too. This kid has the potential to be a stud for us. It's true we didn't draft him but we still got him. So, if it's really a big deal, just imagine that we had an extra 6th and drafted this guy there. He was valued there so it's a good pick. In my mind, we got a good center this draft, even if we didn't draft him. We signed him just the same. 
    • That blows my mind too.  You know your system and the skill sets you covet--you have hours of game tape, you interview, you measure, you test, you weigh, you time--and 25% is the bar?  Now, I know some teams only have 2-3 openings some years, but dang.
    • 25% of day 2/3 picks would be phenomenal.   NFL Draft Pick Bust Rate Remains Very High - Daily Norseman Assuming the 30% includes first round picks, and that a draft success means the play spends significant amounts of time playing for the team that drafted him, a 25% success rate for day 2/3 picks would be well above average.
