Early in the season he was moving around in the pocket pretty well, but pressure up the middle is making that very difficult. The OL isn't consistent and it just doesn't seem like we can put a quick passing game into practice at all. Between drops and bad qb play...

Timing is off on the throws and usually late. Sometimes Sam gets a guy killed, sometimes they get the ball out of step and drop it, sometimes it’s a lack of concentration by the receiver. It’s hard to evaluate when the quarterback play is so bad. No sense in criticizing the receivers until they have a NFL caliber player throwing them the ball.

And they are the reason your ass can sit at home and watch the game 

sick  of hearing it,  i have laid  out a lot of money for PSLs for a lot of years

you care so much about the crowd, buy tickets and go  vs bitching about those who make your Sunday tv happen

 

 

so you are one of the PSL holders so you are part of the problem and now you are butt hurt i'm calling your ass out

There's a difference between "less than perfect" and "holy poo this is really bad."

And you can still criticize how Sam has responded to pressure, Sure!

But lets not act like this o-line has been any good. at all.  Our that our outlet receivers have been good either. 

Sam sucks and the offensive line sucks and Joe Brady sucks. It’s a perfect storm of suck.

Before the game coach said they needed TB to throw it deep more.  Added that to do that they had to give him more protection.

Pretty much a given that QB's need protection to throw deep.

Knowing that, it is hard to understand the decisions made by Rhule during the off season when it comes to addressing our O line needs.

You guys do realize just how bad PJ must have been in practice to not play?  Think about it.  What player has Rhule shown more loyalty, given more opportunities to?

Not long ago we used to say all we wanted the O to do was not turn the ball over... That's why PJ isn't playing

Then why tf is he here? This isn't scholarship football.

I don't buy this. PJ is as much their handpicked QB as Darnold is.

PJ has been atrocious this year. Only reason he didn't start is whatever he showed in practice, IMO. If he was better he wins this job.

You're one for my favorite posters here, mav, but I have to disagree here.  Politics play a role in everything, even with all prior allegiances considered between the staff and their college connections, and they have money and picks invested in Darnold being THE GUY.  They have nothing of the sort invested in PJ.

    • overall agree on the draft grade as a whole on on each pick, but every time I read (and I have read it more than once) that we "gave up two firsts" for Bryce, I am confused. We gave up the 2024 first, but we swapped 2023 firsts, so we didn't give up anything there. We did give up our former first rounder in DJ, but I don't think thats what you mean as one of the "firsts" we gave up.
    • Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
