He had to slow up a little. Darnold needs to build as much chemistry as possible with the WRs as quickly as he can. The NFCS is going to be brutal this season with Atlanta adding Pitts to their other weapons, the Bucs being SB level good, and the Saints being loaded even with a QB change.

A lot you mean.

You mean the "He had to slow up a little" part?

Didn't look like he slowed up a lot there.     

It was in fact, a little.

He is just trying to hate on the starting QB for his allegedly favorite football team.

Seems to me that what a Panthers' fan would be commenting on, not what color somebody's wearing -- should you guys be on a fashion blog?

Honey, don't get me started on the Canes not wearing black 'cleats'.

Robby.....

 

Feet not set.  Pressure all around.

Immediately is pushed off his spot by the edge rusher.

What does he do?  

He takes the only little step up in the pocket hes got and lets one go 45-50yds in the air to hit Robby in stride.  

And he didn't even need the follow through.  

I hated it at first, warmed a bit over the draft, now I'm seeing this kid has a real shot.

Believe me, I get it....Sam has proven nothing in the NFL, on the contrary.  
 

Sam’s RS freshman year, he was not the starter, even though the buzz from the defensive players and the press about this amazing true freshman QB leading the scout team.  The coaches went with the 5* who waited his turn.  It was a disaster, the coaches were on the flaming hot seat.  In goes Sam, saves the jobs of the coaching staff.  That year, they just let him be Sam, didn’t stifle him, didn’t attempt to correct anything.

Sam’s final year, they announced a new offensive plan, to “help” Sam’s development, they called it the “gumbo” offense.  Disaster.  He was looking toward the sidelines every play, not letting him act on what he saw from the opposing defenses.  I can assure you, that is one of the reasons he declared early.  The entire offensive staff ended up getting fired.

The Jets was an even greater nightmare.  They had not taken a single offensive player in the first two rounds in 10 years, Olinemen in the later rounds...seriously, who does that?  They’re supposed to be a professional football franchise. They pulled the same BS that the SC coaches did.  Why do you draft a QB with playmaking backyard FB abilities, and handcuff him?  With no weapons he can get the ball to?  Sam can be an offensive line’s best friend, because of his mobility.  
 

Not saying he’s going to be this amazing elite QB, but at least give him a chance to be who he is, while coaching him up.  He has weapons now, good ones, and an elite RB.  Just let him do plays like this...again, with Robby.

Doesn’t really dispute anything I wrote. We are celebrating a practice pass with no defenders here where the receiver slowed down at the end. 

People are just happy to see a qb who can throw downfield....in-line teddy who was a check down machine

      An analysis of Brooks from The Fantasy Footballers provides possible insight as to why he's worth the price paid

      By TD alt · Posted

      Sometimes you get very valuable information from fantasy football sites. I found an analysis that you may want to read from The Fantasy Footballers. Perhaps you'll gain an insight as to why we moved up and got him. As always, here are a few snippets: "As expected, he dominated in the 2023 season. He averaged an impressive 2.03 Scrimmage Yards per Team Play, which ranks in the 86th percentile among all junior seasons since 2013." "Naturally, after initially playing behind two NFL-caliber running backs, Brooks’ career numbers do not jump off the page. However, his 2023 campaign gave us a glimpse of just how massive his upside could be at the next level. In fact, Brooks is one of only TWO running backs in this class to exceed 2.00 Scrimmage Yards per Team Play within their first three seasons in college."  "If you watch Jonathon Brooks’ film, you will find multiple plays in which he created yardage with his quick feet and lateral agility. He is elusive in open spaces and has an impressive ability to stack multiple cuts to avoid contact. Combined with his impressive burst and acceleration, Brooks can be a matchup nightmare in the second and third levels of the defense." "While Brooks is not the most physical running back, he does have a knack for absorbing contact and bouncing off defenders. You see this time and time again in his film." "He showcased a willingness to initiate contact with the pass rusher, the strength to maintain blocks, and the quickness to adjust to the defender’s moves. In addition, per PFF, Brooks was a top-three running back in the 2024 class in pass-blocking grade last season. He was also one of only two running backs in the class to average a 0% pass block pressure rate, highlighting just how effective he was as a blocker." "In short, Brooks has tremendous upside as a prospect. Even with his ACL injury, I would still be comfortable drafting him in the early second round of rookie drafts. In fact, I would not be shocked if he finished his career as the most productive running back in this class. However, we just need to temper our expectations for his rookie year as he slowly ramps up to full health." Marvin Elequin provides more here (including video clips): https://www.thefantasyfootballers.com/dynasty/2024-rookie-profile-rb-jonathon-brooks-fantasy-football/   Basically, Brooks has the potential to be a beast, and was well worth the 46th pick (and most mocks had him going mid second round anyway). He's not JAG. Someone had to make the move and take him, and we were the ones to do it. He's elusive, has good speed and acceleration, exceptional contact balance, and is an outstanding blocker. Just like any nice RB transitioning to the league, he will need to get used to taking what the defense gives him, while also showing discriminating patience, but he has demonstrated some ability on that front in college. Brooks' only real knock is the ACL. But ACLs aren't career ending anymore, or even skill ending as evidenced by Dalvin Cook, Todd Gurley and others. We'll just need to temper our expectations during his rookie campaign while he gets back to form. Once he does, we'll finally have the talented three-down back that has eluded us since Stew retired.

      2024 Who would you have picked

      By R0CKnR0LLA · Posted

      2.43 : Jackson Powers-Johnson, C, Oregon 2.52 : Adonai Mitchell, WR, Texas 3.65 : Junior Colson, LB, Michigan 3.79 : Blake Corum, RB, Michigan 4.101 : Ja'Tavion Sanders, TE, Texas 😎 5.141 : Sedrick Van Pran-Granger, C, Georgia 5.142 : Austin Booker, Edge, Kansas 5.155 : Christian Jones, OT, Texas Note, I traded down from 33 (took the Arizona/Atlanta trade up to 35 - might have actually been able to net an even better deal but whatever, I'll go with this). Took the Rams trade but stayed put at 52 and at the top of the 3rd.
