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.

      That's it. How do you feel about this draft class.

      By strato · Posted

      I was watching a YouTube and it was said that scout and GM insider types were saying the NIL had killed rounds 4-7. I don’t know that I buy it, seems like it might for a year or maybe two but then those guys have to move on.  NCAA is apparently about to give 5 years of eligibility. It is gonna skew those entrants older maybe.

      Panthers attempted to trade up with Ravens?

      Miller being less raw and more pro ready makes sense of why they picked him. With us having a capable starter in Walker the lower floor higher ceiling player makes sense for us as well. I agree with that.

      I'm from Michigan and have had this discussion with my Lions friends, and they all agree with me, they were never going to take Freeling over Miller.  As, yes, you are correct, they could have left Sewell at RT and taken Freeling, but they are in a SB contention window right now. An OL with Freeling at LT and Sewell at RT is not as strong as Sewell at LT and Miller at RT would be for this upcoming season and likely at least next year as well. 5 years it could be looked back upon as a long term "mistake" to take Miller over Freeling, but for a franchise like the Lions, you can't worry about the long term when you have current SB aspirations.  It's all about maximizing their current SB window over the next 1-3 years. And it's not about style, it's about day 1 readiness, and a lot of "experts" aren't even sure if Freeling is ready to play Week 1 yet at the position he's used to, let alone switching to a side he hasn't played before, but a career starting RT is going to be more than ready to fill that role for them Week 1. I'm 100% convinced that if our draft positioning was swapped, we'd have still taken Freeling, they'd have still taken Miller, and both teams would have got the OT that they preferred due to what each team needs right now and what their current realistic aspirations are for the 2026 season. We're in a position where we can let our drafted OT sit and learn for a bit, they needed a week 1 starter, for me that's where this discussion becomes very easy to understand why each team took the player they did.
