This looks so clean and easy, but thats the point.

One on one drill. Sam Darnold to DJ with Jackson in coverage. 

This looks really simple and almost not worth noticing. But thats the point.

Look how that ball is placed. Look how fluid DJ goes from catch to YAC.  Perfectly in stride. 

Maybe it is just me, but I find this poo gorgeous. 

It's not just you. 

It is.  Gorgeous that is.

Receivers sometimes have a preference for where they want the ball thrown to them. Some guys like it high (Muhammad did, for obvious reasons) others prefer out in front, some right in the numbers, etc.

I wonder if any of our current guys have preferences like that, or if they've discussed them with Darnold.

I was at the Bier Garden in Asheville NC when he got that and simply walked away from the defender.  Holy hell that place went absolutely bat poo crazy.  Good times, good times.

 

The Philly game next when Foster drug the defense into the endzone for a score was equally insane

 

 

I was in 'high school' (College over here, but y'know semantics) at the time.

When we hit X-Clown in double overtime I woke up everyone in the house - it was like 4am at that point. 🤣

My aspirations aren't huge.  If Sam can become Jake 2.0, I will bless the football goods and sacrifice (grill) a Boston butt in their honor.

That sounds like some scared aspirations. Jake Delhomme 2.0 (and Cam 2.0 for that matter) isn't good enough for me.  I prefer to let the past be the past.

    • To start with, you wouldn’t want to count up that value chart. You would see quickly where that is headed. But you basically did a quantity comparison, while ignoring quality.  I am looking at 2023 as the start, because it became all about Bryce.  2023 you have 4 picks plus DJ Moore for offense vs 2 (80 and 145) for defense.  2024 you got the 1st overall, the 32, the 46 and the 101 for offense vs 72, 157, 200 and 240 for defense. Leave the FA IOL out of it. Which was a crazy big  investment. But it wasn’t draft.  Anyway, that is basically 4 top 100 picks for offense and 4 picks for defense in 2024. Except they were 2 first rounders, the second rounder, and the 4th was really high at 101. Vs 72 and day three stuff. Please….  Second quoted/bolded… See you think we hate Bryce. That isn’t it at all. It is nice easy way to characterize us and discredit our talking points though.   Me, I do mostly hate watching him play. But I don’t hate the person. I hate the hell out of the stanning.  It started with the very first question I asked about his footwork, arm strength, and size. Height being the principle objection. I never even got to the durability factor. There was plenty without factoring that in.  But there was rabid opposition to even asking the question of what a couple of small fractions of a second extra closing time would do for the defenders.  What the extra time it takes to flip the hips would do vs a pass rush or on the other end after the ball is in the air. Split second more for recognition where it is going for the DBs.  The tippy toe backpedal.  That poo was a mess and it has always been mess but no Bryce fan wanted to hear it. “Go get another team to root for”. “It worked in the SEC it will be fine in the NFL you don’t know football you are just a hater”.  It got worse when the real games started. It has never stopped. It is nice that many people have left that train so there is less abuse but it hasn’t stopped.  So whatever… 
    • Whatever school you attended, I don't know and I don't care, but I would suggest demanding a refund.    Something was completely missed there.
    • The draft capital since since 2023 has in no way been pretty even.  Especially when you zero in on day 1 and day 2 draft picks.  Draft capital has vastly gone toward the O over D.
