I think I'm ready for PJ

Sam is better than Pickles any day. The problem is that most starting NFL QBs are better than Sam, and that includes Cousins. Most of the teams we'll play this season, excluding rookie QBs, have better QBs. Teddy is better than Sam, so we downgraded to Sam.

I want a much better QB than Sam, and that means we need Watson. Drafting a rookie QB means two more losing seasons. Staying with Sam means we'll never be better than middle of the pack, and often we'll worse.

and I always thought making Sam the plan was predictably dumb.  Had no problem adding him to the roster though.  But he isn’t going to be good.   He isn’t a starting QB.  His flaws showed before NY and now after.  He is what he is. 
 

that said, he is better than Jimmy Clausen.  Not even close.

having time to throw and no one to throw to doesnt really help.  The wr ran lazy routes, didnt get open.  The Viking corners ran better routes than the wr did.

I can't agree with the receivers route running.  Yes the OL is really bad, but they Brady isn't calling anything to challenge the defense.  Those route combos and concepts are elementary at best.

Even look at what the Vikings started doing with Osborn as the game went on.  They weren't getting any production one on one against Taylor, so they started lining them up in trips and doubles and then ran drags across the field where Taylor had to run through traffic and couldn't man his guy up, so he ends up chasing the play.

We do nothing like that, and when we do, Sam doesn't believe what he's seeing and either elects to run or holds the ball until he's sacked.  The playcalling is abysmal and Brady is feeding into Darnold's weaknesses with it, but as I stated, Darnold is bad even when he has time.  That last drive was a bit of luck and an aberration because he isn't willing to take those shots until he is forced to.

I've given Sam the benefit of the doubt but he is now as bad as Clausen was.

 

I think I'm ready to see if PJ can at least make this offense look semi competent.

 

This is a really bad take. PJ blows mountain goat. He wouldn’t even be on a roster if it weren’t for his painfully obvious connection to the head coach. 
 

surprised in you Igo. Father Time always wins I guess.

I was against the trade compensation. We gave up way too much for Darnold out of desperation while bidding against ourselves.

This was my take as well in rewatching that play. Lazy routes with lazy scramble drill comebacks.

      SI article on Legette: "Minicamp is the perfect time to...be overly optimistic..."

      By TD alt · Posted

      https://www.si.com/nfl/panthers/onsi/xavier-legette-s-offseason-focus-could-help-unlock-panthers-wr I am going to be totally honest here: If I had to bet Xavier Legette would pass or fail--well, maybe catch on or drop (pun obviously intended), my money--err, pie in Zod's coming Huddle wagering system😅), I would pick the latter based upon what I've seen the last couple of years. But, like the writer, Preston Palm✋🏽, says, I'm going to be optimistic. Why not? It's the time of year for it, and I've told y'all before that through my fully grown skepticism, I haven't completely given up on X. I'm rooting for the kid.  X knows he can't have another year like the last, he said it himself: "My main thing is just to have a better year. I can't have another year like last year, I can't do that." He knows what's on the line. He's not dumb, however much some of you want to equate being country, or, more specifically, "talking country," with being dumb (which is kind of dumb in itself, but I digress...). X knows what's on the line, very clearly. As such, he has made some changes according to Palm ✋🏽, "Legette has looked noticeably thinner at minicamp this year and has reportedly dropped 7-9 pounds, which should alleviate some pressure on his hamstrings and not force as much impact on them every route he runs." You see, part of X's problem the last couple of seasons were his hamstrings, and now, he's focused on "bulletproofing" his hammies.  But of course X's journey hasn't just been about physical misfortunes and injuries, he knows that he hasn't displayed the best football, so he's embracing the pressure to perform, and likens it to what he did at USC (the southern version *sarcasm present*) during his time there. He exploded on the scene during his senior year, so hopefully he'll do something similar in year three of the NFL. Though we've recently seen some receivers breakout sooner, many receiver still don't break out until their third season due to the complexity of NFL route trees and such. I've never been an X hater, but I'm a realist. Still, I'm looking for X to make the jump. That would be the best for all involved.

      The two wasted first-round draft picks, Bryce and XL. If they underperform, it's time to cut bait.
