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.

      Smith Sr. & Zierlein discuss their top 10 WRs

      By top dawg · Posted

      Any QB worth his weight in gold is going to get his guys the ball. Of course he has to have the protection, coaching and experience to do that. Moreover, it has yet to be determined what type of situation this is for a rookie wideout. The most important thing that will determine that is coaching.

      Smith Sr. & Zierlein discuss their top 10 WRs

      By rayzor · Posted

      I watched it this afternoon and I thought some of the best discussions was before it even got to the players. One thing that really jumped out to me was when Smitty was asked about how things have changed since he played and the thing he talked about was how when he played and going back to Jerry Rice says, the #1 targeted or looked to receiver was always the X and there's still a lot of people who's minds are still stuck in that idea. But what has happened is that the, what he calls, the F receiver...the flanker...is now the go to guy. You need the X to try and get safeties out of the box, but the QB is now looking for his flanker most of the time. Lots of good discussions all through it, but for some reason the ones involving Ladd, Corley, and Leggette was the most interesting. Ladd was how he may be best fit for just the slot, but he's the best slot guy in the draft and he's just a guy who gets open and doesn't drop the ball. Corley and Leggette are playmakers who are at a risk of being pigeonholed. Leggette is too stiff to be a slot guy but he can do things like Metcalf. Corley is likely to be used much as he was in college, as the big playmaker you just get the ball in his hands however you can, but he's got a lot of room for development as a receiver. It's just good football talk all the way through

      I'd resigned myself to 2000 and never.   Cautiously optimistic based on this off season that 2026 is a real possibility.
