It’s it totally nothing.  Find a comparable to Darnold across the league.  
 

if it isn’t coddling.  Than Matt Rhule is just smarter than every NFL coach in his first preseason 
 

As I understand it, Matt Stafford hasn't played for the Rams either.

Surely he needs game reps to learn a new system, right?

Ok.  You didn't exactly answer my question.

How exactly is it coddling?  

Is Sam Darnold getting reps in with the 1st string against the Ravens 1st string?  Yes.

So its not about reps and experience.

Is it about the actual cameras?  Is having a camera on you that important?

Matt Stanford isn’t a 24 year old bust redemption project. 

He is a good 13 year veteran QB brought in to be the piece that puts the Rams over the top this year.   That isn’t a Darnold comp

Let me ask you this, let's say he only gets two series in the next game(not likely but we will roll with this hypothetical) and then he promptly shits the bed as our starter during the 2021 season. Are you gonna blame that on missing reps in the preseason?

Do you truly believe Stafford and Darnold are in similar situations? 

Honestly, I just like how the situations get more exact and specific over time to exclude anyone else in the NFL.

Then after we are sure 100% of QBs are excluded from the "Darnold comp" we still moan that he isn't getting reps.  Despite there now being no one to compare him to in a similar situation getting reps.

But we will cite QBs not a Darnold comp who are getting reps.  And use that as evidence for why he should get reps.

But don't you do do the same exact thing and point out QBs not getting reps.

It's not really that difficult to find comps to Darnold. Pretty much exclude anyone who is a proven commodity.

So why hasn't Stafford played any pre-season snaps?

Is he above that? Is he being coddled?

      NFL admits the TMac catch should not have been overturned

      By PanthersATL · Posted

      They said there wasn't clear evidence to warrant the overturn.  How would it have made a difference at that point in the game?   https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/nfl-privately-admitted-to-erroneous-reversal-of-catch-by-panthers

      WWE pay per view and programming thread

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      Me, I'm sick of WWE channel hopping their PLEs and shows. Netflix now with Raw. USA still has Smackdown but you can't get it with Roku if you don't also have cable. Then they went from all the PLEs on Peacock to ESPN+ which required upgrading your Disney+ package. Then they frikkin' move Saturday Night Main Event with John Cena's retirement match back over to frikkin' Peacock, which we'd just cancelled two months prior because no PLEs there anymore. And there are fewer, but longer matches and its the same danged stories again and again. Rematch after rematch after rematch between PLEs. Fewer matches, fewer wrestlers, more promos (of lesser quality) and less action.  It just seems like it's all fillers and re-runs. I'm tired of Cody Rhodes. I'm tired of Jey Uso. I'm tired of the two Brons. Shuffle the deck a bit guys, this game's getting stale.

      Going for it instead of leading by two scores in the 4th

      Chuba was 3 yards behind the 3 gap. He was lined up weak offset I. It was a 33 dive. Chuba needed to power through off of Ekwonu's block and slip off into the 5 gap where the Tremble had the lane sealed and Rick pulled the LB out of the 5 gap. Here's a visual if you need proof. Chuba did a jump cut laterally to the 2 gap on the right side with unblocked defenders crashing down and went airborne.   This is a 33 dive that should have been slipped off the block into the 5 gap. Chuba lacked vision, but you can see Rico and Bryce staring at the intended running lane sealed off by Tremble and Ekwonu. He should have read Ekwonu's block. The blocking and misdirection is NOT set up for the right side. The play worked. Chuba failed to execute on this play. Trust who you want to, but I wouldn't suggest you argue with the video. Anyone telling you this was drawn up to go right with the blocking did not analyze it. They are correct it should have been a called dive, and it was a called dive.  This was a weak offset I bringing Tremble in motion from the right to the left.
