Looking to get my hands on some tape, but here are some clips, with a little bit of analysis. 

 

 

 


Again, there’s much more to review, and this is more of the positive stuff than the negative. I will say: I think they will need to find a more sophisticated pre-snap processor than Darnold to operate this way.

Being able to recognize what a good QB looks like might ultimately be more valuable to this franchise than his actual play calling.

Right. A lot has been made about this hire, but they’re going to have to find a more competent player at the position to compete, and maximize these concepts.

To take it one step further, even if you can recognize what a good QB is there is not guarantee there will be one attainable this year.  Unfortunately, that is just the reality of the scarcity of good QBs.

Hopefully at the very least we don't waste more resources on a guy that has slim chances of actually helping us.

If we're lucky and get a QB who isn't actually lost in the headlights, I predict that people will be amazed at what a difference a competent QB and OC makes. 

I really hope so. This draft on paper isn't great for QB but I think there's a lot of talent there and we could hit on one like the Chargers did with Herbert (nobody expected him to be that good, and I wasn't a big fan of him in that draft. In hindsight clearly Marty knew what he was doing scouting him and considering trying to trade up to nab him). I really do like Kenny Pickett and with the Rhule connection I could see him being the guy.

I love Cam and I’d love for him to stay but just think he can’t throw throughout the season any more. 

a game here and there, sure 

and yes too, in the OC,  I think more about a HC from the NFL, not some  rube from ncaa

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
