Steve Smith said the reason for the drops was cause they were hospital balls, Chris Simms also eluded to it.

So a third of the time he's 'hurried' when our entire passing game is three step hitch and get the ball out?

Yeah, zero problems with the Oline there then! 🤣

Zero problems? I said it was “serviceable” at best. It’s nearly the same line Teddy had last year. They aren’t good, but neither is Darnold. He’ll do good to throw more TDs than INTs at this rate. He had issues at USC, same issues at NYJ, and now the same here. Three step hitches and release for our entire offense? Oh good then Darnold should be one of the top at getting rid of the ball right? He is not in the lower half of the league at holding on to the ball right?

Ok,, normally you Huddlers  are posting video of how bad the line is or an amazing sack etc..  

Where's all the video of the dropped passes.  I too believe there was more than 7-8 dropped passes,,  I believe even if it was on first or second down they hurt a potential drive,  and Darnold missed receivers in the game, but when you have that many  drops , they're demoralizing to a QB and O'line that struggle.

Some one post the drops please

I was like it's gotta be trolling to say that Darnold is better than Tyrod Taylor. Clearly I haven't been one of the hardest ones on Darnold here but ffs you kidding me

Tyrod is a 32 year old back up that's a game manager. 

He's as conservative as Teddy.

 

I want a gambler. I want a guy that's going to walk up to the hot chick at the bar take her away from the guy she's with and bang her.

Not the chump who's too afraid to look at her.

I really, really do not give a flying fug how our QBs act in bars as long as they win games and lead the offense.

Frankly Tyrod has a better history of that than Darnold and even at his age we'd be more likely to win with him next year than Darnold.

But I also would rather we find a young signal caller that we can build around long term.  Think this staff is capable of evaluating QBs well enough to do that?  Because I'm not sure.

Oh yea he's not the future. He was the only reason Houston won and then competed in the games earlier in the year after everyone thought HOU was going 0 for like they said about the Jags but then HOU looked like a real team with him at QB.

He is the type of QB that could win with a roster and is more of the better mix of TB and Darnold as he doesn't turn the ball over and scores. We likely still need a QB even with Darnold as he probably is only here another year unless it does end up clicking which it looks like it won't more than it will and I've been on the OL first side of the conversation.

I think the question was which QB could do better that would be available and Taylor is better even at both their best, he has injury history and a lot of that is crazy ass poo. Best thing for the team though is if Darnold just works out and morphs into a consistent QB.

I don’t think Sam Darnold is a gunslinger.  I think he is merely a good overall athlete that isn’t a good QB.    Some have called him a gunslinger…and used that interchangeably with the fact he makes bonehead decisions.   
 

Tyrod is better than Sam.  It’s not Tyrod being overrated or anyone else.  It’s Sam being overrated.  And he looks exactly like the dude who played in NY to date.   He isn’t even on pace for his best season….that’s how you know he is the same dude.   And all his primary issues existed before NY touched him.

What other choice do we have? It's either hope his crappy play changes or tune out for the rest of the season. No one is going come off the bench to save us.

Better put your big boy pants on if you are going to follow this team. Or you can take your toys and go home. The rest of us faithful will see you in the offseason. 

And he calls ME a Non-Panthers fan.   What a joke.

The drops dont fit their narrative. In their little world we are going to get a QB and rebuild our OL with the few draft picks we have remaining.

Some of the drops were hospital balls but many were not. There were something like 10+ drops of which 8 were catchable according to PFF (not finger tip catches) and multiple ended/would have ended drives from what I saw.  The 4th quarter drops only didn't end drives because of 4th down. 

Hell DJ dropped a TD that may have changed the outcome, and I love DJ.  Something was off with our guys all game.

Yep. There were a couple of hospital balls but there were no shortage of just outright drops too.

You know...I went back and watched the one "Hospital Ball" that led to Vilma making his "Business Decision" comment on DJ.

And I can't help but notice that DJ was concentrating more on trying to catch the ball than thinking about the defender rushing up at him.  

Here, take a look :

It seemed like to me that it wasn't until AFTER he dropped it did he see the defender coming at him.

So I think it was more a case of him just dropping the pass than this so-called "Business Decision".

      An analysis of Brooks from The Fantasy Footballers provides possible insight as to why he's worth the price paid

      By TD alt · Posted

      Sometimes you get very valuable information from fantasy football sites. I found an analysis that you may want to read from The Fantasy Footballers. Perhaps you'll gain an insight as to why we moved up and got him. As always, here are a few snippets: "As expected, he dominated in the 2023 season. He averaged an impressive 2.03 Scrimmage Yards per Team Play, which ranks in the 86th percentile among all junior seasons since 2013." "Naturally, after initially playing behind two NFL-caliber running backs, Brooks’ career numbers do not jump off the page. However, his 2023 campaign gave us a glimpse of just how massive his upside could be at the next level. In fact, Brooks is one of only TWO running backs in this class to exceed 2.00 Scrimmage Yards per Team Play within their first three seasons in college."  "If you watch Jonathon Brooks’ film, you will find multiple plays in which he created yardage with his quick feet and lateral agility. He is elusive in open spaces and has an impressive ability to stack multiple cuts to avoid contact. Combined with his impressive burst and acceleration, Brooks can be a matchup nightmare in the second and third levels of the defense." "While Brooks is not the most physical running back, he does have a knack for absorbing contact and bouncing off defenders. You see this time and time again in his film." "He showcased a willingness to initiate contact with the pass rusher, the strength to maintain blocks, and the quickness to adjust to the defender’s moves. In addition, per PFF, Brooks was a top-three running back in the 2024 class in pass-blocking grade last season. He was also one of only two running backs in the class to average a 0% pass block pressure rate, highlighting just how effective he was as a blocker." "In short, Brooks has tremendous upside as a prospect. Even with his ACL injury, I would still be comfortable drafting him in the early second round of rookie drafts. In fact, I would not be shocked if he finished his career as the most productive running back in this class. However, we just need to temper our expectations for his rookie year as he slowly ramps up to full health." Marvin Elequin provides more here (including video clips): https://www.thefantasyfootballers.com/dynasty/2024-rookie-profile-rb-jonathon-brooks-fantasy-football/   Basically, Brooks has the potential to be a beast, and was well worth the 46th pick (and most mocks had him going mid second round anyway). He's not JAG. Someone had to make the move and take him, and we were the ones to do it. He's elusive, has good speed and acceleration, exceptional contact balance, and is an outstanding blocker. Just like any nice RB transitioning to the league, he will need to get used to taking what the defense gives him, while also showing discriminating patience, but he has demonstrated some ability on that front in college. Brooks' only real knock is the ACL. But ACLs aren't career ending anymore, or even skill ending as evidenced by Dalvin Cook, Todd Gurley and others. We'll just need to temper our expectations during his rookie campaign while he gets back to form. Once he does, we'll finally have the talented three-down back that has eluded us since Stew retired.

      2024 Who would you have picked

      By R0CKnR0LLA · Posted

      2.43 : Jackson Powers-Johnson, C, Oregon 2.52 : Adonai Mitchell, WR, Texas 3.65 : Junior Colson, LB, Michigan 3.79 : Blake Corum, RB, Michigan 4.101 : Ja'Tavion Sanders, TE, Texas 😎 5.141 : Sedrick Van Pran-Granger, C, Georgia 5.142 : Austin Booker, Edge, Kansas 5.155 : Christian Jones, OT, Texas Note, I traded down from 33 (took the Arizona/Atlanta trade up to 35 - might have actually been able to net an even better deal but whatever, I'll go with this). Took the Rams trade but stayed put at 52 and at the top of the 3rd.
