I had noticed Darnold seemed to be audibling several plays it seemed like.

He was.  I thought it was just to fool the defense as I wrongfully assumed that he wasn't at that level of knowledge in the playbook yet.

How dumb is Gase, seriously? What kind of big brain schemes is this guy running?

Who could imagine that if you help your QB learn and give him options then it helps him be a better player.

Gase is a high school OC right now.  Seriously.  He was truly terrible.  Ironically, I’ve been lurking on the Saints boards and apparently Jameis isn’t allowed to audible.  Good stuff.  
 

edit - apparently he’s not, he’s just unemployed.  I ate the onion and fell for a satire article… 😔.  But damn, he was really bad

The only reason they are tempering expectations is because they don’t want to be wrong. All of these articles just say a whole lot of nothing.
 

Things turn on a dime in the NFL, but until they do just give him some credit lol. Even if he plays this well all season you couldn’t Rhule us out looking for a QB in the off-season.

Call me crazy, but what he's describing here sounds like...ya know, audiblesAnd yet it's something that almost seems to sound new to him.

That can't be right, can it?

Was Gase really that bad?

Yes, I do believe it was that bad.  But it sounds as if Gase is/was not the only coach that thought that was a good idea.

The way I'm reading it, Gase gave Darnold no control on the playcalling at all. I could see that for a young rookie but for someone that played three years with an organization? Seriously?

On a side note, I would like to know the plays Darnold did call an audible and how that play went.

    • We've never seen them outside of the structure of two very well ran organizations I'll give you that. And yes they are long in the tooth. I do think they are more than capable of getting a franchise turned around in short term capacity though. They are by no means a long term solution.
    • You're not making a good-faith argument by blaming literally everything on the quarterback when the defense gave him a fat 38 seconds to overcome its ineptitude, but it seems you're dead-set on blaming him for any problem the team encounters. In this case, it's not warranted. Sometimes it is. But he had no time to throw (pressured on 46% of all dropbacks, an insane amount) and that's simply not all his fault -- particularly when they rush 4 or less and are in the backfield in 1.5s or less. Should we have gotten more than 0 yards? Sure! But he hit a WR in the hands on fourth down and it was dropped. Not his fault. He missed one throw on second down but I attribute first down to a bad play call and third down to poor pass protection. I would've called some quick slants, personally, but it really seems you're saying: - playcalling: Bryce's fault - poor pass protection: Bryce's fault - defensive choking away a lead: Bryce's fault, not the defense - Horn dropping a pass: Bryce's fault It's a great way to garner support on here, because when it comes to Bryce, logic takes such a backseat to context that it's not even in the same vehicle. Plenty of games can be attributed to him. Can't take anyone seriously who solely blames him for that one. 
    • I don't see how you can logically make that argument when the team beat two of the top teams in the entire league during the regular season.  Now imagine the additional games we would have won against absolute tip top competitors like SF and SEA had we had a professional QB.  You can throw any random stat at the problem you want, but the proof is in the pudding.  We all watched it live.  This roster would have produced 13 wins (wins against SF and SEA, two wins against NO, and would have swept the Bucs) and (almost certainly) a #1 seed with a remotely competent QB.  Those were not games where we needed an all star performance to win.  Those were games where a very, very modest stat line would have netted us an easy win. Nearly every measurable aspect of the team would have been significantly improved with a competent QB.
