Sam Darnold can’t throw the ball past the line of scrimmage.

The biggest problem is Tepper IMO

he hired the coach because the coach reminded Tepper of himself. A sloppy pot belly guy who has crumbs and mustard stains on his shirt. 

this coach then thinks he’s good enough to fix Darnold. 
 

Darnold has every physical tool needed to succeed. Big arm, can move, size etc. but the guy can’t process the game. He’s in fear mode as soon as the ball is snapped. 
 

This franchise is being run into the ground 

Which is a damn shame, too.  

If he had his head screwed on right, he might've made a decent career as, at least, a Backup in the league.

 

But at this rate, the 18 mil is going to be the last big payday in this league he'll ever get and I would not be surprised to see him out of the league after next season.

'Cause let's be honest here :  Who the hell out there (Not named Rhule) would be stupid enough to believe they can "Fix" Sam Darnold?

Sam is just a Clausen with more physical talent. Fug him and the people who brought him here, all of them.

Dang. Well, at least you can't hear Darnold screaming for his life every time the line gives way. Of course, he might not have enough time to.

If your line can't hold up for 2.5 seconds, then you are going to have problems.

If your plays take more than 2.5 seconds to get an open receiver, then you are going to have problems.

If your QB's processing of targets and threats takes more than 2.5 seconds, then you are going to have problems.

If your coach, deep in a 5-12 season says the process is working 100%, then you are going to have problems.

To misquote Jay-Z: We've got 99 problems and our coach is more than one.

Hahaha. I don't know what I find funnier, this crew passing up a QB in the draft for Darnold or this crew picking another Darnold in the draft. We are fugged lol

    • This is about getting open and YAC....and the QB we have.  You basically are just highlighting average depth when targeted vs 2 players. .  And yeah, I often say AT is a small slow reliable TE in terms of what he does for us.   That's what he is.   I think a couple of you want to make this into a Renfrow argument.   I'm a Renfrow fan.  Renfrow does not check the box of what a BY O needs either at the slot.  Renfrow just a niche roleplayer at this level.  it's easy to look up how horrific AT is with the ball in his hands and in terms of getting open.....and it's also easy to look up what a low ceiling of an offense the steady AT diet produces w/ BY. 
    • The one time he's actively tried to lose was the best we've ever done.
    • I simply acknowledge BY is the QB.  And just like we did when we drafted him.....the type O you would need to setup around him for success was always pretty simple.  But we have done virtually the opposite.  XL dropping some passes isn't why we were ranked the 32nd O and 30th passing the past 2 years.  *Ricky Prohel was brought up only in regards to role function he served on the team.  Niche/specialist.   He wasn't eating up the snaps in the O.    AT should have a similar snap %. People could MAUL Ricky Prohel and put hands all over him.   We got to the Super Bowl in part because we were mauling guys (our slot CB).   You can't do that now.  AT has a MUCH easier life and still can't get open.  Or run.    If you live in 3 WR sets, with a weak armed QB, and you choose to put someone who can't get open or run in the slot.......well, your are going to have a weak pass O.  That's by design IMO.
