He just can't catch.

He has been hitting the holes with burst and if we ever actually stuck to the run. OFC that would mean run blocking...entire office is just trash. It's like we have some nice individual puzzle pieces but when we try to put them all together we get into an argument and flip the table and start kicking the pieces around.

Oh and also yall remember when the ends of some of the puzzle pieces would bend and the edge would crisp up and start flaking off. That represents all our injury prone offensive players.

The problem is Chuba drops 9/10 check down passes. But other than that, yea he’s a quality starter. Drop off from CMC is drastic though. Good enough on a team with a good QB to take advantage of our WRs so the defenses can’t just crowd the line and cover the passes easily with three or four DBs.

Because the giants stacked the box and sat on routes because Darnold sucks?

You have to keep running to set up play action, even if it might be into a stacked box. They just got shut down by a BAD Giants defense. Darnold was terrible but so was the playcalling.

I don't think there is a huge drop off in rushing, but CMC is far beyond Chewy when it comes to receiving. CMC is better than a lot of WRs to be honest. Great hands, great quickness, and great technique. Dude is special. 

And it doesn't matter that CMC is special since he can't stay healthy enough to play. Chuba wins by default since he is healthy enough to play.

I really think Chuba is good enough to start in this league and do very well. The drop off from McCaffrey really isn't all that drastic. Most of the problem is that Chuba is open on the check down but Darnold would rather throw a pick down field. 

I think Chuba will be a good NFL starter. His blocking and hands still needs work though.  He definitely progressed yesterday after he went for the blitzing players knees though, he actually corrected and stood up a blitz later in the game.

Play action only works if you can effectively run the ball. You can’t run the ball if defenses are stacking the box because your quarterback sucks at reading the field and the defense knows this. Darnold is a zero threat in the passing game. Let alone a deep threat. Darnold puts zero stress on defenses. Makes everything insanely predictable. No OC is going to be successful with Darnold at qb.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By Tepper's Chest Hair · Posted

      Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
