The only tears I'm shedding are ones of laughter at your pavlovian dog response to any topic praising Darnold. 

Says the guy who pretty much just follows me around this site whining. LOL!

You used to be a solid poster, but you've become a joke. Maybe lay off watching the Hurricanes for awhile. Maybe you'll come back to your senses.

We have people crying in here because I've pointed out that suggesting that any developing QB's floor is a guy coming off a 3800 yard, 33 TD, 7 INT season is absurd. That's not a knock on Sam Darnold in anyway shape or form. It's a knock on certain posters' having room temperature IQs for not realizing how absurd of a comparison that is. I'm not knocking Sam. I'm knocking y'all. And laughing at y'all.

You’re the GM and everything is equal:  Ryan Tannehill or Sam Darnold?

When you start a post with "We have people crying in here", it pretty much shows your maturity level. Considering how triggered you get when folks don't bend to your will. It is amazing how hypocritical you can be.

 

It's not really about what you say. It's the contempt you show to folks that don't agree with you. Folks notice how you treat them.

@LinvilleGorge How are the leaves looking around Linville? We are going up the week of the 18th. Hopefully the leaves are more "Good Sam" than "Bad Sam". 

 

They were just starting to change and then it absolutely downpoured this week. This week's rain is almost certainly going to result in this fall's leaves being a dud. Sorry.

The only contempt I show is in return. I'm fine with people disagreeing, but I have no patience and show no respect to the poo slingers and whiners. Sorry, not sorry. 

You're the leading poo slinger on this site. I'll hear of no talk of "maturity level" from you. Clown.

I thought personal attacks were a bannable offense?

Ryan Tannehill threw for 3800 yards and 33 TDs vs. 7 INTs last year. I don't think that's any developing QB's "floor".

Yes and Sam is currently on pace for 5000 yards passing, 40 total TDs and 13 INTs. Which, if held up over 17 games and we continue to win, would land Sam squarely in the MVP conversation. Not saying that’s where he’s at now, but it’s a helluva good start.

If Darnold's rushing TDs are included I think he is right up around 5th or 6th in total TDs by a QB, too (also doing the same for other QBs, obviously).

Right. I figured everyone knows about the five rushing touchdowns which I am happy with obviously but the true development will be as a passer. Sam is learning to take what the defense is giving him which is great and his mobility is a very good asset for our offense. But I definitely want to see the offense and Sam build some success in the redzone with our receivers as well.

Agreed. Sam is off to a very promising start, but it's just absurd to suggest that his "floor" (aka literally worst case possible outcome) is a guy who at one point last season was a dark horse MVP candidate. Some folks in this thread just can't comprehend that's specifically what I'm talking about here.

I’d add reading the field/decision making as well but I think that’ll get better with time and again, an oline. 

I have kind of come to the conclusion that no matter how good or bad you start out at this as a QB in the NFL, if you can stay in the league and playing long enough, you can't help but get better at this. I can't think of a single qb that started at least 5 seasons in the NFL who was still demonstrably bad at decision making/reading the field overall.  The elites are always better at it than anyone else but very few vet qb's aren't at least good at it. It's why they love being blitzed, cause they know exactly what to do and can burn you.

Jameis Winston of course being the exception that proves the rule.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By strato · Posted

      To start with, you wouldn’t want to count up that value chart. You would see quickly where that is headed. But you basically did a quantity comparison, while ignoring quality.  I am looking at 2023 as the start, because it became all about Bryce.  2023 you have 4 picks plus DJ Moore for offense vs 2 (80 and 145) for defense.  2024 you got the 1st overall, the 32, the 46 and the 101 for offense vs 72, 157, 200 and 240 for defense. Leave the FA IOL out of it. Which was a crazy big  investment. But it wasn’t draft.  Anyway, that is basically 4 top 100 picks for offense and 4 picks for defense in 2024. Except they were 2 first rounders, the second rounder, and the 4th was really high at 101. Vs 72 and day three stuff. Please….  Second quoted/bolded… See you think we hate Bryce. That isn’t it at all. It is nice easy way to characterize us and discredit our talking points though.   Me, I do mostly hate watching him play. But I don’t hate the person. I hate the hell out of the stanning.  It started with the very first question I asked about his footwork, arm strength, and size. Height being the principle objection. I never even got to the durability factor. There was plenty without factoring that in.  But there was rabid opposition to even asking the question of what a couple of small fractions of a second extra closing time would do for the defenders.  What the extra time it takes to flip the hips would do vs a pass rush or on the other end after the ball is in the air. Split second more for recognition where it is going for the DBs.  The tippy toe backpedal.  That poo was a mess and it has always been mess but no Bryce fan wanted to hear it. “Go get another team to root for”. “It worked in the SEC it will be fine in the NFL you don’t know football you are just a hater”.  It got worse when the real games started. It has never stopped. It is nice that many people have left that train so there is less abuse but it hasn’t stopped.  So whatever…

      Whatever school you attended, I don't know and I don't care, but I would suggest demanding a refund.    Something was completely missed there.

      The draft capital since since 2023 has in no way been pretty even.  Especially when you zero in on day 1 and day 2 draft picks.  Draft capital has vastly gone toward the O over D.
