Behind a putrid offensive line he was having success. With that line CMC needs to play, without him, the better defenses are just having fun and teeing off

Three games? Kyle Allen was successful longer than that. Teddy Bridgewater lost CMC last year too but we weren't getting blown out by the likes of the Giants even he still kept us competitive more often than not he just had zero clutch in him. Hey if you want to convince yourself Sam is still going to somehow morph into a franchise qb more power to you but it's not reality.

I will ask again.  What is plan b?

Honestly we should not have a plan B. I dont want to run PJ out there and sneak out 2-3 more wins cause teams dont have game film on him. I think we need to live or die with Sam.

Either Sam can fix himself (there is still time) or he doesn't and we tank and have a top draft pick.

Unfortunately this isn’t a good year for qbs at the top of the draft.   Great year for tackles though.

I wanted to keep Grier. As hapless as he looked last year, he clearly outplayed PJ in the preseason. I mean, Grier isn't a legit fallback plan either but if we're choosing between the two, Grier was the better looking QB.

I thought the same, but I think Grier was a Hurney guy and PJ was a Rhule guy.

The most frustrating part of it is we traded one QB with a certain skill ceiling for a QB that seems to have a very similar ceiling.

Should have just stuck with Teddy and drafted a QB. Now the plan is basically the same, keep Sam and draft a QB to develop behind him while he takes the hits.

Everything they SAID indicated they were eyeing a five year rebuild. Everything they've DONE indicates they've been looking for quick fix bandaids.

Well, on offense at least. We're building a very talented young defense but we're trying to slap together an offense with duct tape and bailing wire and if we railroad Joe Brady don't be surprised if he doesn't call it what it is. "Listen, they brought me in here and paid me all that money and then they spent all their roster building resources on defense. Whatya want me to do?"

I would disagree with that. I dont think the plan was to draft a QB and build around him. I think the plan was to build a team and the last piece is the QB - which is why we didnt draft one this year KNOWING next year is not a good QB draft.

I think they have taken shots on used QB's hoping to find one but I dont think that actually impacts the rebuild plan.

I think the plan is that in 2022 we rebuild the oline and get draft capital for 2023. 2023 is QB time. 

IMO..

I still think Sams demise  is more Bradys fault, I am by no means a offensive expert, but it looks to me like is Sam is not anticipating routes right. Most of the throws are from standing parallel to the line of scrimmage and he not planting his rear foot. Balls are sailing everywhere and his ability to find triple coverage is baffling.

To be honest, we seen this before but with a much more talented player (!).

Sam looked like he threw guys open when he had the proper technique but that was lost at half time with Dallas.

Isn't the West Coast offense supposed to time the reads with the drop back?

You add some added protection with running backs and depending on the drop back, the QB is reading the routes until he hits the trigger step. It may be a quick or slower 5 step or even have a hitch to clear some routes. Wouldn't that stop Sam from thinking to much or is the WC offense hard for the both the receivers and QB to learn? or Brady for that matter...

Here's on old article from Steve Young

Brady abandoning the run game and putting the game on the arm of Darnold with a line who cannot protect is just not very smart.  He continues to do this while his head coach is telling the world that the team needs to run the ball.  Makes no sense.

This is a failure on Rhule's part. He needs to exercise is authority if his OC is not calling the game to his satisfaction.

We both see the same thing.

Even when they try to go grab a QB the asset management is so bad that they're limiting their ability to fix the offense they have, even with a QB.

      I think it's strange that you still can't see where I'm coming from, and I guarantee you don't have more faith in him than I do.  You're looking at him in a vacuum, not about the team around him and the likely offensive game plans this season. We're going to be a run first team with 3 receiving options better than any of the other players on past rookie 1k seasons. If you can't understand that, then it's a you problem, not a me problem. Arizona's previous basketball coach, Sean Miller, used to do something at the first team meeting of every season and I think it's soooooooooo applicable to this situation. He'd have every player right down how many minutes/points they expected to average that season and then he'd add them up.  It would show that if they all hit those numbers, we'd score like 125 points a game and need to be playing 7 guys at a time to get their minutes. That's pretty much how you guys are putting your T-Mac expectations out there, looking solely at the player and what you think he should be able to do, not how the offense will operate as a whole. Every yard one player gets is one less yard someone else can get.  It sounds like I just have more faith in Thielen, XL, and Coker this year than most everyone else.  But a big reason for that faith is because of T-Mac and how much he'll open things up for the rest of them and Bryce being the type of QB to take the open easy passes than force it to his #1. As I've said, if any one of the following happens... Thielen ends the season sub 700 yards, XL or Coker end up sub 500 yards... Then yes, I will then shift my expectations for T-Mac's rookie year to be at least 1,000 yard season. But since I have faith in those other 3 having solid seasons, it tempers my expectations yardage totals for T-Mac this year, and this year alone.  I've also clearly stated many times that I think he's going to reach 10 TDs. If T-Mac ends the season with 800 yards and 10 TDs, while Thielen gets 900-1,000 and XL/Coker each get around 600, I don't see any world where that is a failure for a rookie season for T-Mac. Because again, we're talking about expectations, not what is possible.  So given the other WR options, I can't EXPECT T-Mac to get to the 1k mark, which is a far cry from me saying I don't think he can get there. Do you really not see the difference there?

      I don't recall anyone seeing this coming.  I mean, two seperate things for me.  I thought BB just might not work in college football because he is old grumpy man and college is about appealing to young kids.   So yeah, that could of gone great or horrible.  Coin flip.  This isn't that convo for me.  what we are witnessing right now play out.....this was never part of the disaster possibility/path discussed lol.  Really weird stuff.  Or maybe I missed the part where UNC hires a 20 year old "girlfriend" that apparently runs the Bill operation and before the season even starts is taking over more than just Bill but influence of the entire UNC operation.  That was her getting that official statement made today.  It was her sabotaging the Hard Knocks UNC show because she somehow wasn't the star.  Seems like elder abuse lol.  Only largely kidding.  You even got Charles Barkley saying he normally doesn't talk about personal lives of his friends but he might have to check in on Bill because this ain't normal stuff lol.  Anyway, it's entertaining.  Everything is a cartoon it seems these days.

      I think its strange how you were claiming this guy was the second coming of Mike Evans and you can't even get behind 1k yards? I guess I have more faith in him than you
