I doubt that, but I'd be OK if he played like a 3rd ROUND pick at this point.

Some forget about the first 3 games of last year.  He actually looked like a real QB.  300yds passing, low ints, running TD's, CMC and wins.  And then the 5 sack Cowboys game destroyed him.  And lost CMC.  And the downward spiral went straight to the bottom of the toilet. 

Not saying he plays like a 3rd overall pick behind a line like this BUT he has at least shown some ability before the line fell into disarray (and the loss of CMC).  He definitely isn't good enough to play at a high level on his own but with a good line and weapons, he might be serviceable.

I'll give him that. He did look passable (pun unintended) at the beginning of last season. He played his heart out those first 4 games, despite being absolutely demolished in Dallas. It was nice to see someone play with a little passion after Teddy dialed it in the previous year. 

I think your right that losing CMC and Dallas making him think that he was still in NY broke his psyche.

Despite the downturn in Dallas, we still only lost that game by 8 points. Sam was 26-39/301yds/2 TDs/2 INTS.  It was the play after that game that became so concerning. I still think having McAdoo and Campen on the coaching staff is going to help whomever we put behind center in 2022; be it Darnold or another vet, or a rookie ( Pickett or Willis).

The offense was predictable last season. Our 2nd half woes (the 3rd quarter in particular) aren't all on the QB's. I was glad to see Brady leave town. The pass blocking was atrocious. There were some games I trembled each me Sam, Cam, or PJ took a snap on passing plays. I'll be shocked if we don't substantially improve our offensive performance in 2022 with the new coaching additions.

What good oline has he had so far?

he had a good OL in college.  he still did all the dumb stuff back then just like he does in the pros.  Sam was a turnover panic machine from the very start.   It's not the OL creating Sam being dumb.  Sam always has done that from the very beginning.  

Bad OLs didn't make him bad.  He was always what he is.

      Monday practice tweets

      I know it's only been training camp and one preseason game, but I think T-Mac has already shown his floor to be exactly what I said about him in the pre-draft process. That his floor if he never improves his game, is as one of the best #2 WRs in the NFL, if not even still a low end #1 (i.e. a 25th-ish best WR in the league). I think it's safe to say he's already established himself as our #1, and there are only a small handful of teams in the league where I don't think he'd be their starting #2 WR in Week 1. Bengals (Higgins), Dolphins (Waddle), Eagles (Smith), Bucs (Godwin if healthy), Rams (Adams) are really the only teams where I think he'd be the #3 as a rookie in Week 1.  A few others like the Lions (Williams), Bears (Odunze), Seahawks (Kupp), Commanders (Deebo), where he'd be the 2b to start the season, just because they're vets and/or already have a year or two of experience with their team/QB. And even having said that, I think by year 2, he's better than every one of those players (And no, I'm not saying he's already going to be better than a prime version of Adams, just whatever he'll be at 33 next year), and same goes for Kupp, but that's more because it seems like his body might be quitting on him in a way that hasn't happened to Adams (yet).

      Well to be fair, Horn not practicing right now to let his stitches heal up from a car accident isn't something that should be concerning.  Sure, you don't want him missing practice leading into the season, but it's one that once healed, won't have lingering affects or fear of re-injuring it, it was just bad luck.

      Austin named starting center

      By UnluckyforSome · Posted

      Quality backups are absolutely important. This franchise has been plagued with depth problems. That said, there is a little bit of dismay that Mays can't beat out a 1-legged man, and all the talk going into the off-season was how BC would certainly be gone since he had position versatility.  In the end, it doesn't matter too awfully much, as I would be shocked to no end if Corbett makes it through the season. We know what we have in reserve, and that should surely be better than trying to sign random fat guys mid season to try and take over.
