Summary of Darnold's day

I have a lot more confidence in our WRs than I do in Sam Darnold. They may have had a rough day as a unit, but Moore and Anderson are proven NFL commodities. Marshall is a talented rookie. Smith is a promising rookie. If Darnold doesn't deliver this season, I highly doubt it'll be because of our WR corps.

Let’s not turn this thread into an OL thread, ha!

I wouldn’t classify this as a summary at all.  Were the incompletions simply closely contested?  Were they bad throws?  How many were indeed drops?  Was a majority of the incompletions on deep balls, or short and intermediate routes that are easier to connect on?  There’s a lot of info missing here.  Regardless, it’s practice.

In the actual Practice thread, I kept reading "Drop", "Drop", "Drop" with an occasional "misfire"(Overthrow).

But...interestingly enough...No INTs.  🤔

trade for watson

The guy who's about to be indicted by a grand jury while also being the subject of an FBI investigation and who would require crazy trade compensation to acquire?

Yeah, sure. I mean what could go wrong? 😕

It's more like a close practice...the offense was on the side of the field where few could see. 

Those are all valid questions, just like, was there another option to throw to? 

You can control a narrative when no one's looking and with that, it makes the preseason games very important, the eye test....beats whatever lie you trying to sell.

Seems the consensus now is that the issue was with receivers getting open and drops. That's going to happen some days.  There's hints some might not have put in the best effort today.

It's not all about Sam as coach only singled out receivers after saying the others practiced well.

How?!?!?

Were you at practice?  Do you know our offense and the calls like a coach would?  You realize how important it is for a receiver to run a precise route, yes?  A couple yards too short or a couple yards too long can make the pass look really wrong . . . and it may not be on the QB.

If the receivers were really at fault, he's placing the blame where it should fall.

Darnold will be judged on his performance in games that count.  Likewise will Matt Rhule.  Let's give them both the opportunity to play it out and see where we end up.  Knee jerk reactions like that aren't helpful.  Just like with Kyle Allen or TB5, you need more than just a few games of data to see the truth.

19-36, this is not great, I need my QB1 to be better.

    • ^I want that, but Rodriguez over KC. Don't hate KC as much at that spot, but rather take a WR with the pick we gain in that trade than in the 1st. 
    • I think there is good points in this thread to what the team needs to do. 1) Ball isn't really the issue but, he needs reigned in.  Coach and he need to realize when things aren't falling from the three and learn to play other facets of the game.  He's an amazing talent and when he's on, he's on.  But he can also shoot you out of a game.  We're lucky Miami went that way but that is too many missed threes.  He still needs to bulk up if he can, but he needs to drive more.  He's pretty good at finishing usually and hopefully the fouls come (probably not though).   2) The whole team needs to be more physical.  As others have stated, we need more bulk in our bigs.  Diabate is a hurricane of energy but cannot go against the larger centers.  I love him on the team but he should be more of a match up type guy or energy off the bench.  I think he'd be insane off the bench.  However I think the biggest issue with Diabate and Kaulk is the lack of offensive game.  The lack of a jump shot or anything.  Teams figured out to just leave them on the screen and crash lanes.  There has to be some sort of threat.  We need a 4 and a 5 that can do those things and stretch out the court. 3) Bridges.  He's just undersized.  However, I feel he really threw his all into it the last few weeks when others were gassed.  He was ok not being a focal point.  I'd like to have him off the bench as well but I assume he'd be traded to make things work.  4) Miller.  Dude can light it up when on, but disappears for quarters at a time.  Also he needs to work on ball handling and passing.  He's a turnover machine at bad times.  Also hopefully over the injury so he can bulk up too.   5) Kon. Just a rookie.  Long season and back injury.  I have no doubt he'll be back stronger and focused.  Needs to work on defense and physicality like the whole team but yes, a rookie he'll get there. 6) Coby.  Has to be resigned, no question.  The bench lineup is rough without him running the point.  Team has big potential and the front office seems sharp.  They seen the hive and how crazy it got and how much the city wants this.
