PFF says something nice about Sam Darnold

I agree.  Single digits is a tall order.  

I don't believe it's much of a tall order when his INTs have dropped every season. 

And that's with the garbage he had to deal with in NY.

Discounting and ignoring any positives isn't more realistic than pointing them out.

 

No, you are literally inventing something that isn't real. His TD:INT ratio and his INT% both were worse than 2019. 

So to say "....his INT rate went down each year..." is literally NOT accurate. 

Did his interception go down? Yes. Take a guess why? It was the lowest passing attempts of his career.

That's what I am saying. Don't invent a stat that isn't real for the purposes of cherry picking. That is classic poor use of statistics.

Sam Darnold had 364 pass attempts last year.  Teddy had 492.  Sam is going to be throwing a lot more than he did last year in a new system to new receivers.

They will be better designed palys and high percentage throws to better receivers and behind a better oline.  (Yes I said it, our left-tackle-less oline  is still better than last years jets line.)

That said, more throws generally parlays to more ints.

If he does 500 attempts and only 9 ints, that will be awesome.

Citing Sams ints by year is not  "literally inventing something that isn't real"

You are literally using the word "literally" wrong.

Does it lack context?  Yes, but the stat is NOT invented and is LITERALLY real.

I see. You don't know what "rate" means. That clears this up.

I didn't post the ints  by year dude.  You're arguing  with @glenwo2  through me.

Sheesh.

Fair enough but you are also taking up his argument through me. I didn't try and refute the statistics(which are actually stats) I posted. You did.

I get it though, you are just secondhand butthurt.

I'm not refuting your stats.  I agree with them.   3.0<3.6.    That is improvement.  See?  Not all bad.

That would be a Derek Carr type of season he was at 517 and 9. But he was in the thick of it in company amongst the best quarterbacks in the league like Josh Allen who had 592 and 10 picks Watson with 544 and 7 and Mahomes at 588 and 6. The MVP had 502 and 5. Even Justin Herbert had 499 and 10 ints. I think Darnold could approach 500 attempts but it will depend heavily on how the line looks early. For this specific reason we invested in another quality rb and a te who can block well. We will definitely be looking to establish the run game more and more as the season progresses remember it is 17 games now.

Well if you looked at his first 3 seasons overall, his INT rate went down each year :

15, then 13, then 11.

I think he'll throw only single digits this time if this trend continues(which I think it will, especially on this team).

Notice its from Glenwo2.

His INT% was basically the same the past two years. 

2018: 3.6%

2019: 2.9%

2020: 3.0%

It was actually his TD% that tanked last season.

2018: 4.1%

2019: 4.3%

2020: 2.5%

You entering the conversation^^^^^^^^

Ahh yes, but down 16.7% from his rookie season.  See?  Improvement.

I was wondering when you going to show and bestow your realism on us.

^^^^^^^Me pointing out  that that 3.6% to 3.0% is a 16.7% reduction in joking fashion.

Seriously, not everything is a war dude. 

We know his stats aren't good.   You've made the point over and over and over.  

You don't have to wage war against every stat.

    • Watched the recent Mic'd up which had the Bucs game. This angle makes that fumble look so much worse, pretty sure it was inbetween Bryce's hands.   bbb.mp4
    • Here is what you did not mention (and I have not read the thread--but will--it is a needed) and that is the MAFF.  He is in a contract year (2026-5th year) and we will not know (in all likelihood) how the knee is healing by the time we have to decide on a mega deal.   If you consider the time it takes to fully heal is 12 months if all goes well, the injury is known to shorten careers.  Of course, a man of 330 lbs who needs agility to perform at a high level makes the injury a bit more serious than it was for Jimmy Graham, for example, who recovered in a remarkable 9 months.  Having said all that, I think he should be moved inside to guard.   While many NFL linemen can return to play after patellar tendon surgery, studies show a significant failure rate and reduced performance, with return-to-play (RTP) rates often cited around 50-56%, meaning roughly 44-50% don't make it back, and even those who do often see reduced careers and statistics, highlighting it as a devastating injury for linemen." I think you have to go after an elite OT, and I think it should be a first rounder because you don't sign elite LTs in free agency.  Ickey is already going to get paid $18m or so in 2026.    However, the money you save by not locking him down long term could go to a free agent edge or ILB.  It is very complicated if you start factoring in contracts, risks, cap, and the odds of recovery.    
    • Yes, we played the 2nd most cover 3 in the NFL behind the Raiders.   The flats and seams are the areas you want to attack it so its soft spots are areas qbs can hit quickly which can definitely hurt the pass rush.
