Orlovsky on Darnold

[CRA]

Worth a listen.  Talks about how Sam just gets out of sync with plays and makes them look bad.  
 

*apologies in advance for this not being another Watson thread. 

[hepcat]

he f*cking sucks, throws a few picks and can't bounce back. has the mental fortitude of a 6 year old. 

[KSpan]

If there's one thing Orlovsky is qualified to comment on, it's subpar QB play.

[LinvilleGorge]

Well, Rhule and company said Sam was "basically a rookie". They were right, but not in the "moldable lump of talented clay" way. More like the "damn, this guy looks like he's never played QB in the NFL despite being a 4th year veteran" way.

[RJK]

He’s slow. Slow to learn the playbook, slow through progressions, slow to release the ball and doesn’t learn from his mistakes. Sam Darnold isn’t smart enough to be a starting NFL QB

I noticed that ever since Cam started at QB, whenever the starting QB (no matter who it is) throws an interception in a game, we have a much, MUCH higher chance of losing. It's almost a guaranteed loss once the QB throws a pick. I am sure there is some advanced stat out there for it.

Well of course he drops back too quick.  If he doesn't, his linemen would be being pushed back over him otherwise.

Good video

we are stuck with him 

need to get the best we can out of him 

wonder if any of the offensive coaches have mentioned this or tried to correct it 

[glenwo2]

Well holy sh*t....

That is indeed something. 

Sam is still sh*t, though, but at least we have an idea WHY he is sh*t.

The problem is that our Coaching staff don't do anything to even attempt to make him be less sh*tty.

That's actually....a valid point.   Sadly.

He's probably thinking that if he takes too long in dropping back, he'll have a defender basically teabagging him the moment he stops his dropback.   

Sam sucks donkey dong but once again it all comes down to the O-Line being a bag of dongs, too.

No wonder we're in the mix for Watson...

What a f*cking mess this is...

Well as he points out.  That isn’t what is actually happening on all these plays he is referencing.  It’s Sam out of whack.  And the right throw doesn’t happen.  And if it does, it’s then late and wrong since Sam isn’t in sync with anything.    The playcall works.  But Sam is so out of whack he can’t make it work.  He just fugs the works up.  

and you basically are defending Sam for playing poorly because of the belief of what could of happened.  That didn’t.   And it was just him in the end being bad.  So it’s faulting the OL when they do their job

It’s why the right call was always for him to be sitting somewhere like Trubisky.   To see if his game can ever develop be fixed to get back on the field.
