he's earned it. he's just not cut out for the pressure.

 

Oh come on. Making any type of definitive statement, over 2 15sec clips?

 

I mean, Sam dropped a ball as he was playing with it. And somehow it has turned into all this? I would hazzard a guess that Sam is not the first QB to mishandle a football while playing around. 

 

There is enough evidence of Sam's inadequacies. There is no reason to fabricate negativity, out of nothing,

Rhule still coddling the 5th year pro. I saw no edge in those practice clips

 

What does that ever mean? What the hell is “edge” and how does it pertain to him actually playing like a 3rd overall pick? 
All I care about is him playing better, being edgey does nothing. 
The competition is great. Still don’t think he has it and 4 bag years seems to prove it.

He's been rumored to have a very Southern Cali type of personality, maybe he is trying to change that a bit to up his "leadership".

Who knows, but he's always seemed to me to have a "water off a ducks back" kinda attitude.

There has been lots of talk about Corral and the RPO which focuses on limiting progressions to just a couple of reads and how Corral might struggle to get through reads in a more Pro style offense. I think limiting reads might actually benefit Sam too though. Make the primary read, then search for the check-down, if its not there run or toss the ball away. 

Simple progressions might help Darnold and Corral both run this offense. That said you want a guy who can do it all and isn't limited especially if the OL is allowing time to make all the reads and progressions.

He doesn't get the benefit of the doubt. There's no reason to give it to him. Until he proves otherwise, he's inept. Every goof and blunder is only going to solidify that opinion from most people.

I mean him changing anything is better than nothing I guess.

Yeah bringing in QB competition because he sucked last year isn't exactly a type of adversity, it's just cause and effect.

Sam Darnold said he is "confident" that he "can be one of the best quarterbacks in the league."

Darnold has to have this mentality, but at this point, he might not be the best quarterback on a depth chart that consists of a rookie who fell to the third round and a couple of backups. Darnold acknowledged he needs to improve his footwork to reach his goal, saying his feet were "loose" and "chaotic" at times last season. With the Panthers seemingly ready to move on, Darnold will have to come out of the gates hot to keep his starting job.

    • We've never seen them outside of the structure of two very well ran organizations I'll give you that. And yes they are long in the tooth. I do think they are more than capable of getting a franchise turned around in short term capacity though. They are by no means a long term solution.
    • You're not making a good-faith argument by blaming literally everything on the quarterback when the defense gave him a fat 38 seconds to overcome its ineptitude, but it seems you're dead-set on blaming him for any problem the team encounters. In this case, it's not warranted. Sometimes it is. But he had no time to throw (pressured on 46% of all dropbacks, an insane amount) and that's simply not all his fault -- particularly when they rush 4 or less and are in the backfield in 1.5s or less. Should we have gotten more than 0 yards? Sure! But he hit a WR in the hands on fourth down and it was dropped. Not his fault. He missed one throw on second down but I attribute first down to a bad play call and third down to poor pass protection. I would've called some quick slants, personally, but it really seems you're saying: - playcalling: Bryce's fault - poor pass protection: Bryce's fault - defensive choking away a lead: Bryce's fault, not the defense - Horn dropping a pass: Bryce's fault It's a great way to garner support on here, because when it comes to Bryce, logic takes such a backseat to context that it's not even in the same vehicle. Plenty of games can be attributed to him. Can't take anyone seriously who solely blames him for that one. 
    • I don't see how you can logically make that argument when the team beat two of the top teams in the entire league during the regular season.  Now imagine the additional games we would have won against absolute tip top competitors like SF and SEA had we had a professional QB.  You can throw any random stat at the problem you want, but the proof is in the pudding.  We all watched it live.  This roster would have produced 13 wins (wins against SF and SEA, two wins against NO, and would have swept the Bucs) and (almost certainly) a #1 seed with a remotely competent QB.  Those were not games where we needed an all star performance to win.  Those were games where a very, very modest stat line would have netted us an easy win. Nearly every measurable aspect of the team would have been significantly improved with a competent QB.
