I didn't believe in Coach Snow. I said his defense played like a bunch of old ladies last year and that he called a soft game because he wasn't up to the pro level.

It looks like he's proving me wrong this season so far. Hope he keeps making me eat my words because this defense looks great.

I think its super early to be doing this and we are just as likely to come back and do a follow up to this but ...

Deshaun, Justin, Mac, Cam- anybody but Sam. Sam has looked much better than I expected. His confidence is growing and he's not losing us any games. Our defense is ELITE and havingthe ball for 30 mins a game will help any QB. As much as I like PJ, Im concerned should Sam get injured during this season.

Again, its week 2 and we dont know what will become of Justin Fields, or any of the other QBS... but I feel a lot better today than I did. And I hope Sam Darnold keeps doing it.

I'm not ready to admit anything. I thought the defense looked big and fast in the preseason, they made a LOT of upgrades on that side of the ball, so I expected them to be good. Burns is a freak and will probably have 15+ sacks this season.

On offense I'm still not totally sold on Darnold since he hasn't faced a single scrape of adversity yet with the defense being so dominant. But, I will say he has looked confident and poised save for a couple bad moments. Playing with the best RB in the game will help with that.

    • I get it's subjective and I said "PFF rated him as" one of the top deep ball passers during that time, which is an accurate statement.  They are still a group of professionals that look at film and data in order to make their judgements/ratings.  These people whose data has been incorporated into a lot of teams' staffs view Bryce's deep throws as some of the best in the league during that stretch.  That tells me that he can probably throw a deep pass vs the Huddle's version of he is small and didn't do it his rookie year so he must not be able to.  That and literally seeing him do it just makes me feel he is more than capable of doing so.   Do you think PFF is skewing their opinion to prop up a QB in a bottom tier franchise?  It's just another group's opinion and I feel is pretty respected around the league currently.  It's not the gospel truth or anything.  
    • I still remember how happy I was that gettlegut was not the GM once he picked Jones, that was a firing pick and well..... If not for the raiders drafting Clelin Ferrell, it was the biggest draft day mistake in the last 20 some years. 
    • He had 251 passing yards. 3 passing touchdowns and 2 rushing touchdowns. All in all a very impressive game. Problem is I do not envision his rushing ability translating like that over the course of the upcoming season. Yeah it will be something to account for from time to time but one it's not sustainable and two you don't want to put his durability to the ultimate test against a motivated defender willing to take a penalty and a fine. And plus with our backfield. Two 1k yard rushers. That's what they're here for. Then we have a much improved WR room. That means Bryce has to elevate those passing numbers substantially. The fact of the matter is regardless of circumstances it did take him 23 games to surpass Kyle Allen's single season passing yardage from 13 games in 2020. And that is not a high bar by any means. Whatever QB tier Bryce ends up in from here amongst his peers this upcoming season when it's all said and done it will be with his arm.
