He still has happy feet and didn't really impose his will on the game. 

But he didn't turn the ball over and ended up with two TDs after a slow start.

Thankfully we're playing the Jets week 1 so he should be fine. 

I just hope we don't turn him into Teddy.

He looked very uncomfortable at the beginning of the game. 

After his first TD pass it looked like the weight of the world was removed from his shoulders and he looked waaaaaaaaaaay more comfortable. 

Thank you, TMJ.

We might can punish some defenses if we can.get CMC the ball outside the pocket or some screen plays, but I don't have any faith that this line can.open up any holes for him.

Might just need to use him in lots of reverses and other trick plays until we can find a solution at guard and center.

I do think the playbook seriously opens up with CMC in there + regular season. Coaches aren’t dumb, they know the OL is weak and will scheme for it

Darnold is definitely still a work in progress. but the arm is there (for the most part). the touch was there, his progressions looked decent.

he looked like garbage when he got pressure in his face early in the snap. most every quarterback looks like something akin to garbage in that scenario.

the thing that worries me the most was the ridiculous attempt he had when he was already wrapped up and sacked, which was ruled an incomplete pass. he keeps doing that, he'll fall on his face here. if he can stop doing that, then we'll see what his upper limit is, because he'll start the whole season.

On the other side of the coin,  incomplete pass gives us a field goal try, that is the difference between  a win or a loss in the NFL.  He had to throw that away...not a sack.

He finished on a high note, and left me hopeful he may have gotten in his bag and found a rhythm moving forward...  Robby was happy with it.  But, I'm ngl, the OL really wasn't all that bad except for Elflein, and yet, Sam had some very Clausen-like moments early.  So, although I'm encouraged by the final drive, the extremes I saw from some of the panic stuff he did earlier is troubling.

    • I get it's subjective and I said "PFF rated him as" one of the top deep ball passers during that time, which is an accurate statement.  They are still a group of professionals that look at film and data in order to make their judgements/ratings.  These people whose data has been incorporated into a lot of teams' staffs view Bryce's deep throws as some of the best in the league during that stretch.  That tells me that he can probably throw a deep pass vs the Huddle's version of he is small and didn't do it his rookie year so he must not be able to.  That and literally seeing him do it just makes me feel he is more than capable of doing so.   Do you think PFF is skewing their opinion to prop up a QB in a bottom tier franchise?  It's just another group's opinion and I feel is pretty respected around the league currently.  It's not the gospel truth or anything.  
    • I still remember how happy I was that gettlegut was not the GM once he picked Jones, that was a firing pick and well..... If not for the raiders drafting Clelin Ferrell, it was the biggest draft day mistake in the last 20 some years. 
    • He had 251 passing yards. 3 passing touchdowns and 2 rushing touchdowns. All in all a very impressive game. Problem is I do not envision his rushing ability translating like that over the course of the upcoming season. Yeah it will be something to account for from time to time but one it's not sustainable and two you don't want to put his durability to the ultimate test against a motivated defender willing to take a penalty and a fine. And plus with our backfield. Two 1k yard rushers. That's what they're here for. Then we have a much improved WR room. That means Bryce has to elevate those passing numbers substantially. The fact of the matter is regardless of circumstances it did take him 23 games to surpass Kyle Allen's single season passing yardage from 13 games in 2020. And that is not a high bar by any means. Whatever QB tier Bryce ends up in from here amongst his peers this upcoming season when it's all said and done it will be with his arm.
