Paradis had been playing well pretty much all year, Elfein struggled early at G, he's a natural C. The interior pressure was primarily John Miller and whoever played LG when Elf was hurt. 

Who'd have thought our third string LT would look better than our starting RG. 

QB play is also a factor as far as getting the ball out.

Sam wasn't a cancer at all - he didn't seem to be actively negative. As I said in the 'Sam's reaction' thread he clearly gave his all to the team, he just didn't/doesn't have that je ne sais quoi that this offense was clearly lacking and also quickly regressed to where his play was a hindrance.

No question though that the magic was there today on the offensive side. Hopefully it remains in place.

I wouldn’t even put Paradis on the list.

Our struggles basically came down to Darnold not being able to read and process NFL defenses.

P.J. went through his reads very quickly today; I can’t remember many scenarios where he had the ball still in his hands past 3.5 seconds.

I think we were able to see today why Brady was getting so frustrated with Darnold. His vision and football IQ just isn’t where it needs to be to be an NFL QB.

Yup PJ was at the line reading the defense and communicating clearly with the line all game, very much comfortable and in control. Sam was down in the headset calling the basic play with 5 seconds left. It comes down to the staff making a huge evaluation mistake/giving up 3 draft picks for Darnold and forcing their hand in having to play him. Better late than never pulling the plug though

    • Like many of the old heads, I’ve been here for a long time.  I got a lot of respect for everyone on this board for your dedication to this team.  We’ve all been through it during the tougher years. At this point in life, I’m not one to judge anyone’s level of dedication, or their reasons why anymore.  Time, and a lot of bad football, will do that.  For me, it’s simple.  We share a common bond.  For that, I love and appreciate all of you crazy SOB’s. For me, last season was at a minimum, entertaining.  BY lead a young team to multiple come from behind 4th qtr wins.  That showed me heart, and that he has the clutch gene.  That’s the wildcard intangible.  For me, that was fun to watch even  if it was mindbogglingly frustrating at times.  Over the past two seasons, we have progressively built a better team around him.  On paper, the defense should be better this season.  That’ll help.  Let’s see what he can do as the other guys continue to develop too.  Besides, his contract is cheap for a few more years, and we just made some smart cap decisions during the draft. Let’s see how it shakes out. 
    • Hiring Shula & his Cam save us playbook.
    • I would very much liked to have seen Jake Delhomme's career if Tommy Jone no hurt Jake.  I just know that roster and the leadership were destined to hit paydirt but Jake was never the same after the elbow injury, and unfortunately he was the sole reason they didn't make it back to the big one.  I think that 08 team was the best in the league, and Jake masked his inability well all season til the Arizona game put it all on display.  I'll go back to the season prior even and say the 07 team was primed to be a competitor.  Jake was off to a fantastic start that year (for a Panthers QB).  They may have been a championship caliber club for a few seasons after 08 too.
