Overall I think he was impressive.  I think in the 2nd half he missed a couple of throws that may have put some pressure on him but after NYJ go their first score Darnold marched the Panthers down to scoring postion and got us up by 2 scores again.

Gotta get that O-line in shape though.

He was a warrior standing in the pocket and making throws at the last moment.  I was overhall happy with his preformance.

Looked mostly like a pretty savvy vet out there.  Cool.  Calm. Collected.

Good arm strength. 

Accuracy was a bit off but I think that will come through with more reps & gametime.  

All in all a fine first game.

Loved that QB draw.  Don't know if that decision was his or Brady's with no Safety deep.  But that's what good teams do - make the D pay for their mistakes.

low tier game manager, but at least he's only being paid like one

can you explain this take? the way he took hits, bounced back from mistakes, demonstrated significant arm strength, etc... didn't strike me as a game manager.

it is true our offensive philosophy is dink and dunkish, but that's partly because of the atrocity that is the OL.

Playcalling was very up and down.

Brady needs to adjust.  It was obvious that Salah made some defensive changes at halftime and Brady didn't seem to adjust.  His best play was the misdirection with DJ Moore which is something I think they should have done more of.  Get that defense second guessing again.  

They obviously were targeting CMC.  We have other weapons and Brady IMO didn't use them enough.

I agree.  Somehow, Moore had 80 yards receiving, but it felt like he wasn't being utilized enough.  Robby had that one deep bomb... Just need to get these WRs more involved in the game somehow.  The one 2nd half drive that yielded points saw a lot of nice efforts to get WRs the ball in space.

      Dan Morgan Pre-Draft press conference

      By XClown1986 · Posted

      Here are my takeaways from the conference (IMO): - Is Dan against taking a WR 3 years in a row? No. Would that be his preference? Also, no. Not by a long shot.  - I think draft gurus are wrong. Tight end is not an early priority. They like the guys in the building enough to see them develop, but a later round guy is being looked at (just seemed like he was able to label a couple of guys "talented", but stopped short of suggesting the class is good at the top. Seemed quick to talk about the depth of the class) - If we are taking a DL, it will be in the top 2 rounds. They fall off a cliff at some point soon after. - They are targeting guys in each round. I think we are more likely to move up than down in this draft to prevent missing out on a guy. He doesn't want to give up a lot though, man loves his draft picks. - DBs are a priority. We want to come away with a safety and a nickel. Maybe even a safety that can play nickel. Thieneman sounds more and more like a real possibility, if he is there. We are taking a safety in the first 2 rounds, if I had to put money on it. - Age matters more for 1st round picks, probably (Mesidor), but not for after that (Stukes). - They have a guy or two that they want in the 1st round, but crazy things DO happen in the draft, and they may shift gears and take a different guy if someone falls that they didn't expect to be there.  - Character matters. A LOT. If a guy has character concerns of any kind, you can be pretty confident they aren't on our board. They may bring in a guy or two for a visit to gauge the validity/severity of the concern though.
