Our last franchise qb was scrutinized on everything from his throws to how he sat on the bench to how he celebrated. Scrutiny comes with the position chief 🤷‍♂️

I went back and read the training camp threads from last year.  Just a few observations:

1)The defense, in particular the secondary, was MUCH softer.  We rave about our defensive additions this year, is there any surprise to see improvement?    A sample quote to highlight the theme:

"Secondary and defense in general is going to be rough this year.."

Which was right.

2)We complained about the oline last year, even with Okung. Okung kept leaving practice early.   There were apologies to Teddy for what we were about to do to him.  

3)The rips on Teddy at training camp are not like what we're seeing here.   There were certainly fewer rips.   Part of it was, Teddy looked better in camp against a softer D.  Part was probably Darnold is not as familiar with the offense as Teddy. Part is many of us are expecting Darnold to be better than Teddy.    Part of it is the wonderful new personalities we've added  to the Huddle this year.

The huddle is definitely bitchier this year, even though we had much more to complain about last year.

Guys it’s training camp on a hot muggy Monday in Spartanburg mistakes are going to happen and that’s what training camp is for. Optimistically looking at today it seems like some of Darnolds passes were on target but went through revivers hands and Jaycee Horn really might be that guy. 

When our O gets to the point where it can move the chains consistently in practice, they will be effective against a top 10 D.

Oh absolutely the secondary is more of a challenge now which is a good thing. With Teddy he was efficient but early on some people were pointing out his penchant for short throws and wobbly long passes. Okung was a different guy for sure but he was serviceable he just didn't stay on the field long enough. The bitchiness factor is largely to do with how things ended last season. There were fans who rode the Teddy train all the way off a cliff because they didn't want to acknowledge his faults until the bitter end and some never did. Darnold is younger has better tools and has higher upside than Teddy so the bar should be higher to say the least.

      Seahawks or Rams

      I was playing around with the ESPN playoff predictor and it shows if 49ers and Rams finish with same record, the Rams hold the tiebreaker.

      This is my thinking as well. Seattle played as good as they could on defense and Panthers still had a chance until those back to back turnovers.  I don't think the Rams played particularly well in their game against us, alot things went our way in order to win.  Someone pointed out the Rams were bad on the east coast road games and Seattle has been the better road team but they just fought a hard contested game against the Panthers, and now they travel to San Fran this week for their biggest game of the season to determine the division and if they are the overall #1 seed in the NFC or will be traveling for the Wildcard weekend.  If they lose they then travel back cross the country to play a team they've just beaten two weeks ago, not saying they won't be favored against the Panthers but the energy of hosting our first playoff game in 10 years along with the get back effect of having just lost to this team could be huge.

      I don’t know about shadowing and all that, but according to this, whatever we are doing is working
