Say we roll with Darnold

Oddly enough, he looked the worst last year when he actually had time. He's at his best when his first read is open or immediate pressure forces him to immediately hit his check down option. When he has time to actually survey the field he usually makes a bad decision. When he has time then gets pressured late when holding the ball too long... oh lord. That's when classic Darnold disasters happen.

He's just not a QB. No OL is going to magically turn him into a QB. Y'all just gotta accept that.

Counterpoint: He had time on several occasions because the defense was sitting on routes they knew were coming and laying off the rush.

 

Brady’s offense was figured out in week 4 and beyond.

I don’t think that point gets made enough around here. 
 

Sam’s anticipation on timing routes wasn’t good, but it probably didn’t matter after we beat Houston. Everyone knew our route tree as well as we did.

The receivers group’s frustration was making it obvious. Robby couldn’t contain himself. 
 

Our offensive game plans were god awful beyond the Cowboys game outside of the Cardinals and WFT games before the offense with Cam was also figured out.

Brady's offense was figured out because Darnold is extremely mentally limited. It never got figured out with Teddy. Teddy just couldn't put it in the endzone.

I don't think Brady was perfect my any means, but I'd bet on him having a better future in football than anyone currently on this staff.

This doesn’t get said enough.  Teddy had a career year.  So did every WR.  Nothing was figured out.  Teddy just wouldn’t make all the needed throws because he is too conservative.   

we built a Sam Darnold O.  Sam sucks.  He can’t do very basic stuff.

Go BPA in the draft, and roll with Sam in 2022. If Sam rocks with knowing our system better, then it's a win. If Sam poops the bed again, then we have a high 2023 draft pick and we take a top QB and that's a win. Go with the win-win scenario.

Now put yourself in Rhule's (and possibly Fitterer's) situation. Still feel that way?

That's why Rhule (and possibly Fitterer) should've been fired.

Rhule said something like he expected Sam to take a big step forward this season. Without knowing Rhules true thoughts on Sam I can't really put myself in his shoes. There is always the possibility that he panics and we collect another poop QB.

One could legitimately argue that getting out of Carolina would be a big step forward for an NFL player.

You don't have to worry about Sam having a good year any more than you should worry about lizard people emerging from the shadows and conquering mankind.

Sir the Lizard People have already conquered mankind.  They just prefer to do it discreetly, from the shadows.

    • I think he did a solid job.  Honestly I liked his post game interview the best.  He gave himself a C and said he left a lot out on the field.  That kind of attitude can carry him far.
    • This is lacking a fairly considerable amount of context. For one, Adams(age 22) started 12 of 16 games, had 38 rec, 446 yds and 3 TD's on 66 targets(18 less, with 2 less games started). The main thing missing here is that the top two WR's for Green Bay that year combined for about 2800 yds and 25 TD's. Now if you want to throw a more accurate dart at Adams, take a look at year two. This year the production was spread around considerably and Adams didn't stand out from that pack(pun not intended).  So, if XL struggles mightily this season, I would probably keep that comparison in your quiver to counter argue. I would suggest that I don't think that scenario is probably very accurate for most HOF caliber WR's taken in the first round over the past 15 or so years. Adams was the 89th pick overall, as well. A little different hill to climb than XL, although not massively.
    • to clarify I am not referring to Will Levis.  Not knowingly.   I just made that up and tried to use a reasonable guesstimate of what else was done.  That sounded in the ballpark.  At one time I did look it all up and there were several teams that had much more successful days downfield.   If that happened to be Levis' actual numbers than it's more of a lucky coincidence.  If memory serves, it wasn't just Will Levis that brought the claim into question, it was SEVERAL teams had better days.  and you are missing my entire point of the subjective nature of it all.  If PFF employee Doug watched Bryce's film and then used his same unique subjective vantage point to grade all 31 other starting QBs.  Then dumped into into a spread sheet, it would a subjective Doug take but at least it would be a level uniform subjectivity.   The grades are done by various people.  All watching and applying their own subjective view to a play.  Everyone isn't going to grade incompletions out the same.  Or completions.   So when you dump it all into a spread sheet and hit sort.....it's not actually a statement of fact as portrayed.  Which is why you sometimes get some head scratching stuff.  I'm not reframing anything.   I don't think.  I just wasn't going to look it all back up so I was talking vaguely off the general issue I have with PFF and treating any random claim they make as the truth.
