How much preseason time should Darnold play?

I think a quarter to a half each game.  I prefer a half, but after seeing how Rhule has handled TC and Fan Fest this year with an overabundance of caution, I doubt he gets anywhere close to that.

He needs live reps, and so does our OL.

I dont think the OL is as bad as many think they'll be...  if it means anything, I think this OL has a chance to be one of our best.

Man, everything I'm hearing about Darnold out of camp has severely dampened my excitement.

What did you hear and WHOM did you hear it from?

'Cause it sure as hell wasn't from the MAIN Sources 99% of us followed.... 🙄

Why? Everything out of camp has been excellent after he shook of the rust and pads went on

CanePantherHornet sounds like someone who stopped paying attention once he heard Sam was struggling that ONE practice and he's now using it as The Gospel.

It's pathetic.

The correct answer is as long as possible.

You're not evaluating Grier and Walker - you know exactly what they bring to the table.

Darnold and the #1s should be in as long as possible - that Oline needs extended snaps to gel.

A billion times THIS.

On the one hand, the more reps he gets, the better he should be in the new system and we really need that to be the case.

On the other hand, if he does get hurt, we're likely looking at a high draft pick for a QB or LT. It's another year lost but I'd rather him get hurt preseason than halfway through the year and end up at pick 8-15 where we just miss out on the elite level talent. 

And we miss an entire year of evaluating whether he can actually be the answer at QB. That would be a terrible scenario.

If he misses the entire year then I think the evaluation will be easy...find a new guy.

      XL is a Lost Cause

      By Navy_football · Posted

      It appears that he sees things differently than the QB and OC, so Cam's advice is spot on. It isn't about number of targets, it's about quality of targets. Trust and being on the same page. BY doesn't know how to anticipate what XL is doing. And XL doesn't like where BY is placing passes. One on one film study would go a long way. More for BY than XL though. He has to adjust to XL. I really don't think XL can adjust on the fly.

      Should Dave Canalas be on the HOT seat??

      If the team shows improvement, then he shouldn't be in danger of losing his job - even if the record doesn't reflect. This was a very young team (with a lot of new vet starters) that overperformed last season. Somebody's doing something right. Consistency is key with so much youth. And we're potentially looking at new starters at ILB and FS. Those are positions that take time to fully understand the defense. ILB calls the front 7. Safety calls the back 4. Injuries at WR and IOL killed the offense last season. Depth needs to be upgraded. Same with Edge. I think they would have won more games if Pat Jones doesn't go down early. Be smart with the roster and draft. Trade players for assets when it's time to pay them more than they're worth - yes, that includes BY if he doesn't make a pretty big jump. That's one of the many reasons Tillis is as important as anyone to the future of this team.
