That's why I went and looked up the stats. I wanted to see if my knee jerk reactions watching games were accurate. The stats suggest they probably were.

What is the comparable subjects??

League wide or players in similar development range and situation..

I would prefer my QB had more passing then running. Not a fan of all these designed runs for Darnold. He is my Cam. He is gonna get hurt. 

As someone who has defended Joe Brady for the last year and a half...

He sucks at scheming up throws in the red-zone.  And I think they have finally realized that, hence why Darnold runs so much down there.  I mean it's gotten to the point where it has got to fall on the OC.  And we just suck at throwing in the redzone.

At the end of the day, Darnold is the Qb for this year, next year and the foreseeable future; so, critiques of him can be interesting but it changes nothing 

he has been a lot better than I thought he ever could be 

given even an average oline, and he wouldn’t be the problem

IMHO, as implied, up tempo would help him and the whole offense, particularly with cmc out yet again 

the cmc dependency is starting to smack of Cam with this offense 

Cam Erving is wrong… they are the Carolina Christian Maccfreys as Christian makes that atrocious line look better than they are

This is why I don't think that is fair... 

What 24 or younger player in the league on a new team in his 4 game of a new scheme is scoring high Mark's??

So, you want an n=1 study? No thanks. That's not very useful. All QBs includes a whole lot of rookies and other young QBs.

And I promise you there should be a grading curve because every player isn't starting from the same starting line...

Do you expect Darnold to be as on point as Russell?? So why should he be compare to him??

In all seriousness, this was a great thread.  A really good critique that I hadn't really realized.

This is going to sound weird, but I think the main issue that might be contributing to it is that I think in a lot of ways, Darnold still lacks confidence.  Like, I don't think he realizes how good his arm is.  And so when he has time in the pocket, it's like he is constantly second-guessing himself.  It would explain why when he's pressured, he performs better because that is when he just has to play and not think. 

I could be totally off-base, but that is the sense I get.  Darnold is an incredible physical talent, I honestly had no idea how good his arm or legs were.  I know he missed Moore and Anderson downfield, but the way the ball just rips off his hand... it's impressive. I just think he's gotta get more confident in himself and just start firing.

That play to DJ was pretty good.. I think this is a give it time situation...

It's all QBs. That also includes all the rookie starters, the Andy Daltons of the world, etc. I didn't just cherry pick the future HOFers.

      Not sure who said it first, but Tepper is the correct answer. Still, I'm gonna go with Kasay keeping it inbounds. If, you subscribe to the butterfly effect version of time travel consequences.... When we win SBXXXVIII everybody's lives change: Moose never breaks his leg, We win it all again in 05. Tommy Jone is unknown and Peppers stays home, Champs once more 2008. No artificial pig heart turning JR into a creepy weirdo, no lockout, no Clausen. Fox and Jake ride off into the sunset on their own terms. No 2-14, no #1 pick. But, no laptop, no Blinn, 3 years behind The Golden Calf of Bristol, we still get Cam. JR let's him grow his locs like he always wanted, Smitty sees Cam in a new light. Dreads swinging, (and Smitty with his 3 Lombardis behind him) Cam is old enough to get those calls. No Manning narrative, Cotchery TD, PI against Talib on Philly Brown, 10,000 RTP calls and Kony Ealy SB50 MVP. No Jeans Fridays, no Tepper. KB doesn't slip on his own meatsweat mid-route in SD, Cam becomes the 1st QB to win 10 straight SBs. Retiring after being elected 47th president of the US of A, Cam ushers in the Permanent Proletarian Revolution across the globe, Xi Jinping bows in awe. "ẄøŘƙƐṛ§ őF ŧĤə ŵØRłð, ŮŊÏŦƐ!!!"

      I mean not surprised the Patriots took him in and aren't trying to push him out. They've been the most morally bankrupt team in the NFL for a long while. Wouldn't be surprised if Vrabel has his own dirt on Kraft/Brady and other assholes from that organization over the last couple decades.
