The out route is perfect at all depths. Looks like a staple play.

Especially since we're going to be seeing a LOT of one on ones on the outside throughout the season because defenses are going to be keying in on CMC. DJ and Robby are going to feast on those out routes.

Didn't see this posted yet, but this video did a great job breaking down Darnold's play against the Steelers. Don't feel like recapping cause I'm tired, but some really good stuff. Darnold made some really great decisions and threw some dimes.

 

I want to throat punch this fat geek.

Kinda less detailed, way less annoying voice and all 22 views. After watching Teddy tonight at least we'll have more exciting plays for better or worse

The TD to Robbie Anderson play, watching this, it looks like there were 3 touchdown options on that play.  Almost seems like Marshall (I think that's who that was in the end zone at the top of the screen, can't make out all the numbers) would have been an easy touchdown.  Also, Arnold could possibly have been a touchdown option if that was an out breaking route in the end zone.  Good play design.

Yes I saw this and no doubt the narrator voice is obnoxious. 

I think he navigated the offense well and am super excited with a real game plan in place. 

What seems to be a constant challenge for us is it seems, not always, that we are always scheduled against a new HC game one.  We never get the chance to utilize previous years schemes to game plan off of.

I knew Darnold had a live arm but not that he was so accurate.  If he can master the offense he becomes a stronger more mobile Teddy which is exactly what we always wanted from him.

He won't be Teddy because he can throw the ball longer than 10 yards.

So many weapons.   So many options for Sam.  🙂

Yeah that is why I said a stronger and more mobile version. Teddy understood the offense and how to use players to exploit the defense. He just was too adverse to throwing downfield and didn't have a strong arm neither of which is a problem for Darnold. What Darnold needs is to understand the system and stay calm under pressure which are both things that Teddy did very well.  Teddy could have been the answer if he had Darnolds athleticism. Darnold will be the answer if he can have Teddy's calmness and mastery of the offensive scheme.

Well said.

I've seen now that this offense is going to be based around getting the ball in our playmakers hands in space and letting them run after that catch (what the Saints have been doing for a long time now). Sam just has to get used to knowing where his outlets are when things get chaotic or the original progression isn't there. Like you said, his athleticism will also help a ton in this department (which he kind of displayed Friday on multiple plays). Teddy just didn't have the arm strength to take advantage of the deep shots when they were there, and didn't have the athleticism (like you said) to improvise or escape the pocket when he needed to make a play. Good points.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      By Icege · Posted

      I'm arguing that should those supposed deficiencies, like height or pocket footwork, be as consequential as you and others have claimed, then there would be a clear, observable impact in the data. That's not unreasonable. For example, batted passes are often used as a size-related concern (see: Baker Mayfield), yet Bryce ranked among the lowest in deflections at the line. If his stature is such a limitation, why isn't it showing up there? Or are you suggesting that's why his passing yards fall short of your expectations? If the latter, I would hope that you're not discounting yards left on the field due to drops (of which he led the league in).  Also, asking for specific, measurable benchmarks isn't aggression... it's accountability. If that feels uncomfortable, it might be worth reflecting on how much of your anti-Bryce argument is grounded in subjective perception rather than objective metrics. So, again: do you have any specific KPIs beyond total passing yardage, height, and weight that you consider relevant to evaluating whether a QB is top-10? If you want to add YPA and passing yards per game to those metrics, that's fair, just be clear about it. But let's not pretend that asking for clarity is some kind of provocation. I'm simply trying to understand the actual criteria... not just the vibes.

      Jackson actually played quite well for a #2 CB #54 in PFF coverage ratings 12 pass break ups solid in run defense..... Hes gonna be targeted just because Jacyee IS being avoided.

      Yeah, these arguments are getting twisted to the point that it's just an airing of old grievances for the 100th time. No matter what happened in the past, no matter what the "trajectory" is, Bryce has to show why he was a number 1 overall draft pick.  If people didn't like Cam and what he did for us at QB, I hate to see what poor Bryce is gonna get if he doesn't reach Manning-esque heights.
