That’s fair. I mean looked how great Kyle Allen looked in his first few games. There have been plenty of times a while has looked great in a short period and ended up sucking. I think he has improved and is still young enough to greatly improve but we will see how the rest of the season goes.

Fug Joe Person. I don’t care if he wrote the article or not.

Sir, I just have to say I admire how your hatred cannot be distracted, forborn, or muted by little things like relevance to the thread and topic at hand. True hatred shines through, even when it is only tangential to the topic being discussed.

I see your fug Joe Person and salute it. 

Also fug Jerome Boger.

That is all.

I wonder if Broncos fans are saying the same thing about Teddy right now. Darnold is playing the Alex Smith role right now, the way the gameplay is going you can see he’s barely throwing to his second read, and that’s the way the coaches wanted. These two games have been on a silver platter, any halfway decent QB would have done what Darnold has done

You see what you want to see not what is actually happening. Way to be consistent.

 

Consistently wrong...

Yea that's one of the most hilarious not worth paying any attention to posts on here and you know that says a lot. Nothing even approaching reality there.

No thanks.  Just handed it to CMC.  That's what he we pay him to do. 

Sam Darnold still has a really weird turnover juju.    From college to pros.   If he plays a football game, he turns it over.    I don't want to intentionally work him in as a rusher at this stage. 

college - 27 games - 36 turnovers

nfl 40 games - 42 turnovers.   Including 1 in each game for the Panthers.   

That's just weird stuff. 

The difference, though, is that those two turnovers with the Panthers were not of the actual PASSING variety where he threw the ball and was intercepted (to be fair, he did come close a couple of times on other occasions but almost is almost). 

First was a botched hand-off and this one was him not taking a sack when he should've.  I know he was hit from behind but a defender already had his arms wrapped around him at that point so it was way too risky to attempt anything at that point(yet he did and the result is what we got). 

Those are things he and Rhule can clean up.    As far as actual Passing plays, he's been very efficient.

Yeah, weird turnover juju in general though.  It’s always been all over the map.  Fumbles and picks.   He averaged a turnover per game at USC, NY and now Carolina.   And his two here have been weird and ugly.  

I simply don’t see the need to insert him into the rushing game given that juju.  We have the best RB in the NFL.  Hand it off to him.    I mean, scramble and take a lane if it presents itself….but I’m not looking to see a lot of called Darnold runs

The only time I would not be against a QB draw or sneak is if we are 1st and Goal on the 1 yard line.

That's it.

Yeah, I separate sneaks into their own category.  I mean Tom Brady might be right there with Cam in terms of getting that one yard.   But Brady isn’t part of a rush game.

      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.

      Moton Meets the Press

      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.

      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.
