I feel bad for Sam

No mention of the first play of the game huh? Also no mention of the fact our special teams scored as many points as his offense through 3 full quarters? Hey great final drive but maybe try doing more than throwing picks and fumbling the ball for most of the game next time. We play like trash at home. If we are going to feel bad for anyone it should be the fans who sat through that game.

Sam was awful yesterday as well. 

They're calling it six drops (eight by ESPN) yesterday and that's a damned conservative estimate. 

And that first pick was no one getting open and then Robby didn't even contest the ball. He should have just thrown it to the sidelines, but damn, the receivers sure didn't do any hard work on coming back to him.

It was a bad, bad day for Sam, but too throw that whole pile of poo on his back isn't right.

problem is the staff got their expectations on the team way too high. that pressure falls on Sam Darnolds shoulders, which is a bit unfair.  He needs time to find his rhythm with this team just like anyone else.  Hes not getting a whole lot of help.  Oline, WR, OC have been as bout as terrible as it gets.  His only glimmer of hope, watches from IR.

Robby Anderson has been horrible.  

On the year, his collective receiving options have not been horrible.   Just one guy. 

but as noted this offseason, Sam has always had a poor rate of success when throwing at Robby.  Dates back to NY.  It has never been a good connection (despite what the rare deep ball highlight might suggest).

Yep, I'm still not giving up on Sam yet.  Our WRs were complete arse yesterday.  Hell, they made Ian Thomas look good!  Blocking was horrible per normal and while Chuba is a decent reserve back he's not a RB1.  Dude has nothing to work with here.  Our strength was supposed to be our weapons around Darnold.  CMC is out for a total of 6 weeks and our WR1 an WR2 couldn't get open nor could catch a cold at the north pole in the dead of winter going skinny dipping.

Moore has had the dropsies as well.  I think they need to spreading the ball around to some of the other guys. Shi Smith is fast.  dont get me started on that end around to the TE.  Huge face palm.

    • I have more faith in XL improving than I do in Tmac being a true number 1 recuever
    • Round 1. TMac arguably the best WR in the draft Round 2. Scour ton mentioned as a possible 1st round edge.     Texas A&M did not use him the same way Purdue did. After the 2023 season he was listed as a first round grade. I believe had Texas A&M used him like they did at Purdue he never makes it out of round 1. Round 3 Princely Umanmielen, we'll go by Princely.  Another highly graded player we got in a lower round. As the video suggests, even if he plays only on passing down it's a positive. Give him a couple of years to develop a he could be a three down player.  Round 4a Etienne IMO a huge upgrade over Blackshear. I can see him in a similar role as CMC without the heavy workload. He can run in between the tackles and has some shifty moves. Give Canales some flexibility. A fellow huddler pointed out UGA running backs don't see the field if they cannot pick up the blitz. Really good pick. Round 4b Ransom a hard hitting safety that has played three different positions on defense. Great pick Round 5a Cam Jackson a massive NT in round 5. I believe a solid rotational pick in a lower round. We added a beast that could make offenses quiver when he's lined up with Brown. Great Value  Round 5b Evans This is another player that can block and has good hands. He also had better seasons before 2024. As a rookie he's probably leaps and bounds better than Ian Thomas. I think he gives us a three headed monster at TE.  Round 6 Horn Jr. Many believe he's just going to be a KR/PR player. I believe there are going to be packages for him to get on the field as a WR. His speed with TMac and Thielen in the slot could be special. I'm really looking forward to seeing him in training camp. I've watched some film and he is very explosive.  Overall I love our picks. I honestly believe all of them will contribute this season. I don't believe we reached on one player in this draft.  This weekend we get a small look at these rookies     
    • You joke, but hasn't basically the whole team been in Charlotte this past week together? I'm not one to see the random dumb stuff players put out on social media in the offseason and think it means that's ALL they've been doing and not working on their game.  But it's a little strange that all this is coming out at the same time we're seeing tons of stuff with the team in Charlotte together, even if it's just working out and not even official team OTA's or anything. So he gets a pass from me saying anything now, but if he doesn't show clear improvement this season, it then opens him up to some retroactive criticism for some things.
