I hate any time we go Jumbo. 

Our Oline isn't blowing anyone off the ball - spread the team out. 

it is very clear once the field is condensed in the red zone, we can't find the space we need to get our skill players the ball.  Whomever is at fault for that, it needs to change, or we'll be having some rough Sundays.

I thought Arnold would help out in the RedZone, but he was anonymous. Darnold overthrew Marshall in the EndZone - but he's my other big RedZone target this year. Hope they come to play next week.

Sam was the least of my worries today. Not perfect by any means but was well above average and most importantly was not a liability or someone we won the game in spite of.

 

Hot Take: I thought this was the best QB play we've seen since Cams (pre TJ Watt hit) 2018 season.

I dont even know if that's that hot of a take with the competition being a one armed Cam, Kyle Allen, Will Grier, Taylor Heineke, Teddy Bridgewater and PJ Walker.

Stat line looked good, but seemed to be a lot of dinking and dunking.  

11 targets to RBs

TD to Robby was nice, but Robby was wide open.  Ball looked a bit underthrown.

It was the Jets so we didn't have to do much to win.

Can he consistently make high level throws if needed against better teams?

Seems like we traded for a guy to play just like the guy we had before.

As the season progresses I would think they will ask more of him.

Pretty obvious they are protecting him.

The difference is Darnold can make those throws. I don't see the obsession with checking down to CMC.  He's our most dangerous weapon and if teams are going to leave him open than you take advantage of it. 

My issue is NYJ did a good job of taking him out of the second half and NO ONE ELSE except DJ stepped up.

      https://www.prohockeyrumors.com/2024/06/bruins-hurricanes-could-swap-linus-ullmark-and-martin-necas.html The Boston Bruins are continuing to garner more and more interest for their former Vezina Trophy-winning goaltender Linus Ullmark, giving them a chance to be picky about the return. That could exclude much of the league from acquiring the star netminder, with Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman sharing on The Jeff Marek Show that he doesn’t believe teams like the Vancouver Canucks or Montreal Canadiens have the assets to acquire Ullmark. Friedman added that the Carolina Hurricanes could be one of the few teams rich enough for the deal, especially if they involve forward Martin Necas. https://www.prohockeyrumors.com/carolina-hurricanes Expect the Maple Leafs and Predators to be two of the top suitors for Hurricanes defenseman Brett Pesce if he hits the open market next month, The Fourth Period’s David Pagnotta reports.

      Another Bryce breakdown

      By WhoKnows · Posted

      They do, just when. I hate to be pessimistic but it’s all about the QB. I can’t recall a QB situation where a bad QB (not bad stats, but looking like they don’t belong) turned a team around. Peyton Manning had a ridiculous amount of interceptions but he didn’t show his future limitations. Usually, it was picking another QB in the draft. Unfortunately, IMHO, we won’t be really better until we get our Cam v2, someone who can carry the team and not win only if we have a stud lineup around him. That’s why I’m more interested in how the rest of the draft picks do to see if we can actually solve holes like the ones we created losing Olsen, CMC, Moore, Turner/Kalil/Norwell, etc. I want to actually be one QB away not Fitterer’s definition of one player away.

      How to list & hopefully sell PSLs plus season tickets

      I will say once you have been in newer arenas and stadiums with their way better bathroom set-ups, it is such a massive improvement. It clears up a lot of insane lines just waiting around to piss.  I have taken to not drinking at all at older stadiums just so I don't have to deal with planning when to take a piss and what part of the game I am gonna be forced to miss because of it. It's so nice to be in a new arena/stadium with way better bathroom accessibility that doesn't force you to literally miss the game. Not to mention I will actually spend money on booze there then.
