Is the audible surprising? Who did Marshall play for at LSU for a year? 

Also, Darnolds throws in this game looked better than any single game I saw with the Jets. Even these preseason play calls make Adam Gase look like he should be the QB Coach for the UNC Tar Heels or something. Seriously, Sam didn't have to improvise to be good on Friday. It always seemed that his highlights in NY were improvisation. 

I mentioned the audible because a lot of the hot takes around here seem to imply (or just flat out say) that Darnold's problems stem from slow processing of information. 

I see differently.  I have just made a bet on his exceeding 23 1/2 TDs for the season, at 115-100.

Slight derail but we talk a lot about how good Marshall looks,  but not enough about how much better he looks than Chase. 54 picks later and there is a quite reasonable chance we got the better receiver from the same school. 

Kudos for that to our GM and scouts.

Yep, he has an arm, is mobile, but if the defense gets to him he’s going to get rattled and start doing stupid poo.

TB got rattled too behind this jok oline last year and started playing like poo…even more so.

It’s no wonder only the top olines go to the big show or even deep in the playoffs 99% of the time and the 1% is with HOF QBs.

Just put tremble in to block every play.

That is every QB to ever play the game.  

Seriously.

The pass rush will be ferocious until teams remember CMC is also on the field.  A couple well timed screens/draws will take that deep pass rush right out of them.  
 

If all goes well, defenses will have to stay home just to keep McCaffrey from 200yds a game.

This cannot be underestimated.  We have a couple of options to make them pay.  CMC being the most dangerous. A couple of blitzes that result in CMC breaking away for a good run will make many teams question a blitz.

Plus we have DJ who is a WR with a RB mentality.   And of course his newest target Arnold.

Yep.  They want to repeatedly send the house?  In the immortal words of Cam Newton "Thats cool, watch this".  We put one of our all world YAC guys as an outlet in the space vacated by the blitzers and kill them all day.  CMC will destroy teams like this if they so choose.

I'm willing to proclaim we got the best wr in the draft.  How about that?

Too early to say that, but I will say he looks every inch of the 5 star prospect he was rated as coming out of High School.

I've never seen a rookie wr play as well as a pro right out of the gate. Yes it's early but I never proclaim any rookie as going to be great but this kid is a stud. If he flops I will eat my words, but I think I won't have to worry about that.

I was ecstatic when we drafted him, his measurables are ridiculous and he doesn't drop balls.

With that being said I am shocked that Chase is dropping so many balls. I think though he is not as savvy or refined route runner as marshall is, so at the start he will struggle a bit more.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.

      Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By rmoneyg35 · Posted

      I think people aren’t patient enough with Young. It can take a few years for a QB to develop. Look at Darnold, Baker and most recently Daniel Jones.   he hasn’t been able to put up big passing numbers either cause of how much we run the ball. You can tell our coaching staff still hasn’t took the training wheels off Bryce and let him go all out. We’ve had some pretty bad receivers as well. We finally got a true number one last year and look how much Bryce improved. Still we didn’t really have any depth behind TMac. Coker was hurt for a lot of the year and XL was our #2. How many big plays or TDs has XL dropped? I think this year can be the year we see Bryce able to hit his stride. If not then we can start looking for another qb but I just ask people to be patient.
