Ahh yes, and while that route was developing on any given play last year, 9 times out of 10, Teddy was never looking at it and instead hitting the flat route for a 2 yard gain.

Amen.

The best play I saw from Darnold Sat night at TC was a similar play.  He hung in the pocket under pressure and instead of just checking down, he threw a dime on a slower developing 20ish yard route by Tremble that was a perfect tight-window throw that Teddy would almost never attempt.

I don't know it was b/c Teddy didn't have confidence in his arm (b/c a throw like that requires a legit NFL arm), or b/c he just was hard-wired to take the sure thing.  Maybe a combo of both.

Regardless, it's nice to see a QB make that throw.  It's been since 2017 Cam that we've had a QB really capable and/or willing to make that throw.

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

 

 

Man…that team was really good

    • Bradford and Pennington would have passed 2nd round criteria. The 1st round criteria is a little higher and career longevity isn't factored. Years started is, because as a 1st round draft pick, the expectation is that you will be a starter and likely for a long time. But you can see why I shied away from using statistical means. You can end up cutting some objectively amazing players like Steve McNair or Cam Newton. Or even someone like Eli Manning.  That's why I stayed with award/accolade or length of starting career or career. The logic being that if your peers(HOF), the fans/peers(Pro Bowl) or the media(All Pro) regarded you as one of the best, that accounts for a lot. It's taking a wide swath of largely well regarded opinions about a player's performance. In a manner of speaking so does career and starting length. That is the greater NFL(FO, coaching staffs, etc) saying that you are a valuable addition to the organization in some capacity(starter or backup). Statistics are tough because they ignore changes in the game and the vast differences in individual QB's. Cam was never a high completion percentage guy but he dominated many of the games he started. He changed the way people played us. TD:INT ratio seems like a decent enough marker but it eliminates gunslingers and especially old school style gunslingers. Guys that might have had MVP caliber performances(McNair) couldn't meet that criteria.  It would probably be equally difficult to screen players by career winning percentage, QB rating, etc. Using individual statistical means to measure a career is really fuging hard. Doesn't mean I can't use them but I need input because a lot of the things I have attempted just didn't have great results in what I would say are "successful" careers. And my methodology isn't perfect. Certainly there are strong arguments against some of them people that met my criteria. Largely the Pro Bowl. I suppose I could increase that to 2+.
    • A few things here.  This is from the Blueprint series, they are absolutely talking about what lead up to drafting XL.  Go back and watch it.  Again this is produced by the Panthers and they for some godforsaken reason thought it would be good to include this clip of the owners wife not only telling morgan who she liked but also it would be ok to trade up for him.  The owners wife that is in the draft room.  This clip could have easily never seen the light of day but yet they thought it was a good idea to include it.  Talk about tone deaf.   I will ask again, why the fug is she giving any input on a goddamn wr?  What are her fuging credentials other then pegging the owner?   So to your original question about them meddling, its not only clear they still are and they seem to be flaunting it.   oh and Dave Canales is like
