can he stay within the game and not force the ball trying to eek out another first down

Given what we had to endure from Teddy last year, I honestly wouldn't mind a bit of this. I'd rather fail while trying than fail for lack of trying.

If that's the expectation every QB will always come up short. They're all gonna occasionally fug up. No way around it. Those guys on the other 31 teams are professional football players and coaches for a reason.

The way people talk about Darnold, I think of Winston. 

Talk about a ton of talent combined with bad decision making. 

I wouldn't be surprised if he gets benched for Hill.

 

It's an interesting parallel for sure...

...that said, I'm unsure why "coaching it out of him" would be any more of a challenge with Jameis than it will be with Sam.

Jameis's stats are better across the board.

Is Sam getting benched for PJ in the set of possible outcomes?  (in your opinion)

He did have good passing and TD numbers.  

Poor decision making shows up like lightening in ints.   Winston had 30 ints in 2019.  They had a great defense, o-line and receiving core.     Bruce Arians is considered to be a pretty good QB coach.  They lost to us on turnovers.  Swap out QB's, upgrade TE and running back (late in the season)  and you have a SB.

It will be a hard case to make that Winston has better decision making than Darnold when Winston had better wrs, oline and coaching and threw 3x the number of ints.  But I would love to hear this one.

Gase compared to Arians is night and day.  Winston already had what many considered a pretty good QB coach.  Its possible Peyton can do what Arians can't.  I doubt it.

Do you consider Gase and Arians are at the same level?

For injury PJ will get play.  Otherwise, unlikely.  Darnold's int rate was below 1 per game.  I assume Darnold's int rate will go down.

I think the more pertinent questions should be: 

can he consistently set up his protection at the line

can he stay within the game and not force the ball trying to eek out another first down

can he get better arc on his corner routes

I’m general just play mistake free football for 70 plays a game 17+ times a year

i think he has the high ceiling but to me that means nothing without raising his floor, so hears to that lol

I think limiting mistakes is the foundation of winning games.  But you can limit mistakes and still lose.  When you are down, sometimes you have to take risks.  And  a QB knows when to take calculated risks.

For every 10 TD's thrown, Sam has pitched 8.7 INT's...

...7.2 INT's for Jameis on same metric.

 Jameis played majority of his career for Dirk Koetter...he's probably worse than Gase.

That said, the current face-off/issue is Payton & Rhule...

PS -- "lightening" is what ladies do to their hair.

Koetter>Gase.  I'm not arguing that any further, it is a distraction from main point.

 We're discussing if Winston can be coached to better decision making.  That experiment has been tried and it failed miserably.

Jameis had 30 ints under Arians.  Don't blame those 30 ints on Koetter.

As for typo's, autocorrects and  misspellings, if you are going to correct those here, you're going to be busy.

Actually no, the "experiment" is only beginning for Jameis and Sam...

...are you giving Sam more than 1-season to prove himself?

You know that was no auto-correct nor was it a misspelling 😉

If Sam throws 30 ints like Jameis, hell no...would you keep Sam if he threw a 30int season?

Not if Tom Brady was an option...

Why do you believe Sam is more likely to have the bad stuff "coached out of him" than Jameis?

Payton is a proven NFL coach and the Saints have a track record of success...Jameis was drafted higher, all his measurables are better, and he can really "sling it"...

...yet he's destined to fail while Sam will be a smashing success?

Your goalposts seem to be entirely portable...

Why do you think Winston  is "destined to fail"?  ..that comes from you,  I didn't say that.

No they're set.  I know you try to move them, but the thread shows otherwise.

Here's what I said:

My point is, Winston has had good coaching before, and his ints blew through the roof.  

Peyton may pull it off.  We'll see.

Peyton is a far better coach than Arians, IMO.

What I'm seeing shows him at #23 in the 2020 Simms-rankings and moving up to #19 in the 2021 version.

Others:

Teddy...29 > 32.

D. Lock...25 > 33.

Cam...10 > 20.

D. Carr...19 > 14.

Trubisky...38 > out.

Wentz...6 > 18.

Jameis...33 > 25.

Minshew...30 > out.

 

Who has a better season -- Payton/Jameis or Rhule/Sam?

 

2020 Simms Rankings:  https://sports.yahoo.com/chris-simms-top-40-nfl-165422692.html

 

Simms moved Brady up from the 15th slot to the 10th slot.  Built in clickbait.   

and he probably will finish his list with something whacky too.  Make up some bullshit argument why Josh Allen needs to be ahead of Rodgers or some poo.

    • I mean....no lies detected. See above. We have traded a fortune to draft a guy #1 overall that people have lowered standards for to the point that not playing like Jimmy Clausen and looking like a poor man's Kyle Allen occasionally is worthy of a contract extension making him one of the highest paid QB's in the league. That is cope on steroids.
    • summary: "let's talk about your draft, what did you think about Freeling" Dan:   guys with a huge upside, can come in and compete to start.  High ceiling "he does what for your offense?" Dan:   it's hard to find left tackles, guys that big and athletic.  We have Icky coming off an injury, we signed Walker, I believe your offensive line can never be too strong.  If we're going to win the game, it's gotta be up front on both sides of the ball, so we make a point of emphasis on making both sides of the front as strong as possible. "how many mocks did you see Monro falling to you." Not many times, left tackles are gonna go a lot earlier than when we took him.  We want to add the best player, in free agency or the draft"  that's our philosophy, to get the best players possible. "Hunter and Brazzell." Dan:  we followed the board.  Lee we felt very highly of him , super strong.  Brazzel so flexible and loose, can open the verticle.  Will Lee we held in high regard. "you take a look at your receiver room, Coker, my goodness, your offensive rookie of the year in Tet.  Lost Rico, but there is Jonathan Brooks. " Brooks coming off two knee injuries, he worked his way back, looking great, fully healthy, will help in pass and run game.  Icky, not sure when he's coming back but we're excited about both "plan on extending Bryce" we'll keep talking, will keep internally.  We believe in him, has such a great grasp of Canales and offense, has improved every year. "he's clearly come back from the benching, the arrow is trending up, where does he feel" Bryce knows where we stand with him, when and if a deal gets done, he knows we feel great with him, we'll get something done at the right time. "if this a prove it situation?" everyone in the building has to prove it, has to earn it. Tmac was everything we wanted, his work ethic, he's so big and talented, but he puts the work in, and is a great teammate. "your level of expectation, the building's level of expectation for 2026 "our goal is to win the division every year, we know we have to earn it.  we have to put the work in every day, proving it on the practice field, and our  guys know that." "schedule" we haven't opened at home in 2 or 3 years.  We love prime time games, hope we get some "  
    • this one is gold:     Bryce has a cult inside the Panthers fanbase that has truly developed some NPC hivemind. I'll never understand how he's captured the true essence of the casual fan like that.
