Jimmy Fallon Reaction GIF by The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon

Yep. Compared to many problems dealt with in therapy, a case of seeing ghosts is not that tough. The problem is most athletes don't get the help they need. Tepper went partway there bringing in a therapist for the team but most players even like our own Steve Smith got help only after he hurt his own teammate.  This type of issue pales against the trauma many folks bring to the table.  The fact many folks get David Carred  is because they try to fix it on their own or hope it goes away.

I don't think Darnold has been David Carr'd because that would imply a steady decline. He's been the same all along. You can watch him play at USC or with the Jets or with us and see the same quarterback making the same mistakes regardless of the other variables around him.

His issues are mental not physical and yes they can be fixed. 

 

I really don't think so. He just doesn't see the field like a QB. He can't read and react. He tries to consciously think and that makes him too slow. After the snap you have to be done thinking. It's all instinct and reaction at that point. I don't think that's coachable. It's like trying to coach a RB to have better vision or a DB to have better balls skills. A guy either has it or he doesn't.

The guy was crying on the field last year, I don't know how they don't do something during or after the draft.

He isn't a starter but he could be a backup. He will get another shot, just at a much lower pay and much less expectations.

Wasn't he crying while playing with a broken shoulder or when he broke his shoulder?

If the light turns on for him won't you be happy?

 

It probably won't happen but there's a chance  

Sam Darnold is another teams failure he is not our responsibility to wait around for the next however many years to see if he will ever not suck. I want to draft our own QB and start new. It is not a difficult concept.

And I only want to give him this year.

He's already paid for. Not movable and I'm not willing to take the dead cap.

 

He plays this year. Turns into a good QB or fails and we draft next year.

 

That being said if Strong or Howell are there in the 4th they better run to the podium.

Sam has lots of excuses, the biggest one being that he just sucks

Sam has issues and I view him as a bottom tier QB in the NFL.  Best suited for a backup role. The improved line should allow him to lookmarginally better but to think he is able to overcome his issues no matter what you put around him is not logical in my opinion. 

I think this is a long winded and more subtle way of saying I agree with your assessment.

      Mike Kaye predicting we trade up in 2nd round

      We need a Sam Off Ball Backer to pair with Lloyd. Lloyd is a strong Interior Will especially in Pass Coverage- but that is also Trevin Wallace’s archetype. Need a Rozeboom style run stopper. Rodriguez and Allen fit that

      Day 2 Targets/Faves

      By woahfraze · Posted

      There aren’t that many ways to screw Day 2 up.  That’d be them making an obvious reach, or selecting at one of the few positions that we are pretty solid at. Because as excited as we are for the growth and improvement this team is showing, it’s still not an overly talented or deep roster. Honestly, there aren’t really many positions I’d feel bad about. Feelings about Bryce aside (because we are not going to select a QB), it’s really RB (bad positional value) and that’s it. I guess OT too since we grabbed Freeling in Round 1.    While not as high on my wish list as other spots, you can justify WR or TE.     Interior offensive lineman who would likely take over an interior spot either this year (at center) or guard (next for cap casualty of Hunt or Lewis)? Fine by me.   Dlineman? Yes, that’s a highly rotational position and we have zero quality depth.    ILB? Yep, could stand for an upgrade over Wallace.    EDGE? Absolutely wouldn’t hate another option to spell Phillips, Scourton, and Princely.    FS?  Would love to add better coverage skill set to the backend of the defense. Moehrig and Ransom are great in run support but not as good deep. Adding a more traditional FS would allow us to mix and match/run some 3 safety sub packages and or a big nickel type look with a SS down near the line for better run support in possible pass downs.    CB? Could stand to get better at nickel.

      Sounds like Veesaar is entering the draft. He could always test the waters and pull out and return but without him our big men look like a serious liability. Better do something in the portal. If they don't do something about this portal madness my days as a college sports fan are probably numbered. This bullshit of having a nearly entirely new team every season is gonna get old fast.
