I'm gonna keep pounding the "correlation =/= causation" drums here as there are a myriad of reasons a team can start off slow, happens all the time around the league, but go off

Sure. I agree correlation doesn’t equal causation. You’re also an idiot if you don’t think Sam not playing in preseason would contribute to his slow start.

Darnold played? I must’ve missed it. Mahomes has gotten 20x the playing time this preseason. Wonder why that is. When in nfl history has a coach gotten a new qb and not played him in the preseason. If danrold starts of slow we’ll all know why 

Mahomes is getting 50-60 reps against another defense in joint practices the last two weeks. I have no issues with the 1st team not playing more because of those practices. If they weren't having joint practices, I'd be concerned why they aren't out there getting more than one series through 2 games.

Darnold had like 4 seconds staring down Robby for his one completed pass, hardly worth anything evaluation wise

He wasnt staring down Robby.  There were two receivers running two different depths in that area.  Watch it again, there is an underneath route he was looking at too.

Not good enough.  Looking at both weeks so far, our red zone issues do not seem resolved.  I'm starting to question if it's Joe Brady.  Slye has to go asap.

You've got to remember they dont game plan or scheme for these games at all.  They are going to run base vanilla plays.  They aren't going to show many of their plays in the preseason.  Especially their redzone plays.

You mean they scale down the play calling due to having a large amount of people on the team that can't be expected to all learn the playbook, and the plays called are more about trying to evaluate players on the team than to actually win a game?

2008 Lions.  2017 Browns.

Both played to win their preseason games.  4-0 in preseason.  Went 0-16 in regular season.

Yes there has never been a lot of correlation between teams and their preseason records and regular season records that I can remember.   Some great teams have looked terrible in the preseason and vice versa.  It's not really a great thing to make knee jerk reactions on.

Replay was a closeup of Darnold and his eyes.  He was locked on from the snap.

Exactly. And Darnold make a great play by keeping his footwork and base on point and waiting in the pocket until the deeper route that Robby ran came open.

He did the opposite of just taking the quick easy checkdown

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Round 1. TMac arguably the best WR in the draft Round 2. Scour ton mentioned as a possible 1st round edge.     Texas A&M did not use him the same way Purdue did. After the 2023 season he was listed as a first round grade. I believe had Texas A&M used him like they did at Purdue he never makes it out of round 1. Round 3 Princely Umanmielen, we'll go by Princely.  Another highly graded player we got in a lower round. As the video suggests, even if he plays only on passing down it's a positive. Give him a couple of years to develop a he could be a three down player.  Round 4a Etienne IMO a huge upgrade over Blackshear. I can see him in a similar role as CMC without the heavy workload. He can run in between the tackles and has some shifty moves. Give Canales some flexibility. A fellow huddler pointed out UGA running backs don't see the field if they cannot pick up the blitz. Really good pick. Round 4b Ransom a hard hitting safety that has played three different positions on defense. Great pick Round 5a Cam Jackson a massive NT in round 5. I believe a solid rotational pick in a lower round. We added a beast that could make offenses quiver when he's lined up with Brown. Great Value  Round 5b Evans This is another player that can block and has good hands. He also had better seasons before 2024. As a rookie he's probably leaps and bounds better than Ian Thomas. I think he gives us a three headed monster at TE.  Round 6 Horn Jr. Many believe he's just going to be a KR/PR player. I believe there are going to be packages for him to get on the field as a WR. His speed with TMac and Thielen in the slot could be special. I'm really looking forward to seeing him in training camp. I've watched some film and he is very explosive.  Overall I love our picks. I honestly believe all of them will contribute this season. I don't believe we reached on one player in this draft.  This weekend we get a small look at these rookies
