The Athletic not very impressed with Sam Darnold

The thing is they and others are too concerned with declaring him great or not. The whole crowning thing. If they just look at what he's done on the field this year it's an easier judgement but less controversial.

Enjoy watching each game, grade it, and relax.

He basically went back and looked at every single play from that vid you provided and proved you wrong, yet you are going to stick your head in the sand and still claim it's a first read? 

The irony here is that Gooby has been caught making sh-t up himself on more than one occasion.

The offence is actually designed around pre-snap reads.

Brady has made it really simple for Darnold:

 

 

Exactly. You get to the line quickly, look at the defense and then adjust your play and protections based on what Darnold sees. You try and get favorable matchups or overloads for an easy pitch and catch. I used to hate that NO would always have someone open on every play but now that we run a similar scheme, I love it.  I mean I hate the Saints but like their offensive scheme.

How dastardly evil of him to execute the play the way it was drawn up.  If he was a better QB, he would improvise instead, right?

My friend you are debating with a fool. My unwanted advice is to save your energy for someone that has a clue of what they are talking about.

I know.  It was a momentary lapse in judgment.

People keep mentioning Brady but few or none have mentioned Sean Ryan’s name and contribution to Sam’s success thus far.  Brady gets credit for scheme and play calling but it is Ryan who is in Sam’s ear and head between each offensive series.

Sean Ryan, the QB whisperer…

Sean Ryan, the Anti-Gase.

Nope your just taking offense to me calling him a one read QB.

Here’s Greg Cosell backing up everything already said. God knows where the other guy is getting 3rd and 4th options from

    • Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.   
    • Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying. 
    • 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.
