Exhibit a)

 

That's a pass to cmc 10 times out of 10

There were open receivers underneath....Darnold saw and checked off or didn't see at all...he should've hit Hubbard..

Oh, the drop off is pretty drastic but I agree that Chuba is starter quality. CMC is arguably the best all around RB in the NFL but it sure seems like he's becoming injury prone.

I don't think he's injury prone. I think he may know more about pro football than any of us here (growing up with his dad in the NFL and all) and he can tell bad coaching and a bad team as well as anyone.

I think he's making some business decisions, again, to ride out this season on IR as much as possible and hope for something to change. Stay at home with the girlfriend, do some modest workouts and rehab, cash checks and not throw your health away for inept coaching? Seems like a smart, Stanford-educated idea right there. 

I mean, why Barry Sanders it?

Same thing for Thompson in my opinion. And I can't blame him, either.

Our WRs have been playing as bad as Darnald. Moore is the only one that can catch passes that are thrown directly at them. Passing lanes are not always going to be perfect. Especially with our line but if it hits your hands you should catch it. 

The WR's are much less of a problem that our bottom of the NFL QB play(and bottom 5 OL play).

They are largely mirroring the poo around them.

You can't fake a hamstring tear - they'll MRI it and monitor it constantly.

He should have hit the wide open Moore in the End Zone.

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. 

And when he does check it down it's an inaccurate ball where our receivers have to do a pirouette just to get their hands on the ball and the result is no YAC at all.

Nope, not accusing him of faking it. I would say he's smartly taking his time on getting back and getting fully healthy again. 

This coaching/management regime isn't going to inspire anyone to Jack Youngblood it and play in the Super Bowl with a broken leg, yanno?

As a RB yes, as a receiver out of the backfield the drop is pretty large.

The question is can cmc play now and is rhule hiding him or is rhule lying like ron used to about injuries? Same with shaq.

I like Chuba but he averaged 2 ypc on Sunday.

[ImaginaryKev]

He needs to get in the weight room, which is inevitable bc they all do, bc he gets tripped up exploding thru the line too much just missing big Oklahoma State junior year runs, but I agree. He can start in the league

[nosuchthingasapanther]

hubbard IS a drop off from mccaffrey, but then again...so is probably 95% of the RBs and WRs in the league.

I can't wait for the "PJ Walker Is An NFL Starter" after we lose 27-0 and he goes 11-34 for 127 yards and 2 INT

I'd rather lose next week with PJ than with Sam.  Everything is last season on repeat....much only worse.  Last season got to the point, I preferred to lose with PJ than Teddy.

It guarantees the staff has to move on from the starter.  Teddy then.  Sam now.  The PJ mantra has never been about PJ being the starter.  Just displacing the pointless QB the team insisted on riding with and forcing the front office's hand going into the next year.
