Give me some hope. Can this offense be turned around?

He has more drops than catches this season... I think there are a lot of factors in play.... Including better play calling but IMO it all hinges on Ickey and how quickly he progresses....

 

 

Baker is getting a lot of edge pressure and is already feeling ghost pressure when he isn't.

Understand…my point is this team needs to wake up and compete at the highest level.  Each man.  The talent is there…I fuggin really believe that

Robby can be a serious difference maker but like a lot of players on this team right now it is time to lay everything on the line and do your fuggin job

I actually agree with you, This team does have some talent... It's why I can't stand our anti-fans we have this season like Frankw and Mrcompletely11 who are rooting for us to lose.

They are trolling and don’t add anything meaningful to this board.  Disregard them

I'm just being real here. Sam is a better QB. All in all if Sam can cut down the mistakes, trust the pocket he's probably the best option going forward if and when he's available.

I was at fanfest and got a very good view and Sam was actually moving the ball down the field more consistently than anyone else that was allowed to scrimmage (Baker). 

Mayfield looked pretty much the same as now, couldn't really connect and horizontal runs to the sideline after bailing. 

Sam's the better QB. Will Rhule put Sam back in? The historical precedent has been set. Will he sit Baker for Sam this time OR run a two QB system in the NFL AGAIN, his college coach wet dream.

Very interested to see how that plays out because Baker looks like Matt Corral as a rookie should look, but he'll learn 😕

Still inexcusable for a four year veteran, you should come prepared to play in the first quarter not finally wake up in the second or third quarter of an NFL game. Damn it get there early!

But honestly, that is the problem with Darnold.  I don't think he can cut down the mistakes or trust the pocket, at least not when 75,000 people are watching him.  He has a distinguished record of turning the ball over by making bad decisions, and the fact that the pocket may be holding up seems to have no bearing on that.

I don't think there is any chance he can be serviceable IF he cuts down the mistakes.  At this point, he is exactly what he has shown in games.  He can look fine in practice or scrimmages, but during the game he reverts back to what he does. 

Mayfield may be in the same boat but at least he had one season when he showed more.  That may have been an anomaly and if it is, guess who is looking for one or two new QBs after this season.  Based on the brief but consistent results, I really do not want this staff having any voice in who he/they are.

The whole 1st part of this is literally why Sam isn’t better… He hasn’t shown he could do any of this even in college..

I would say 2 season Baker showed he was at least a competent QB in the pro’s.. He was 2nd in voting for offensive rookie of the year when Barkley won it.. And to be clear even his worst season are better Then anything Sam has done in the league..

    • Great point.    I would lke to add that there is another QB on the roster who was terrible over the middle--Kenny Pickett.  
    • I don't think this is the year for Carolina, unfortunately.  I think they will have to make a decision on the QB position-all we know is that Bryce has year 5, but a long term deal has not been signed--yet--and they would be smart to take a "wait and see" approach.  I have not kept up, and I see a path to upside for Bryce, but I do not think we have aggressively pursued a QB when our QB was mediocre to worse than mediocre.  yes, his numbers are improving--but he has adapted by eliminating what he does poorly and not improving on what he does poorly.  Just my take and I have no data to support this view.   Basically, we go as Bryce goes, so the approach is not to bring in a QB to have him compete until we find one, but it is to make Bryce as good as he can be--is that good enough? Season ticket holders buy the hope of winning rings, not winning 8 games. Last year, Bryce had a resurgence.  Take away TMac and Rico Dowdle.  How good was he?  I still have hope.  Not a hater of plan A, but a hater because we have no plan B.
    • Yeah man, I've been here for a very very long time. Couldn't even begin to tell you what year. Maybe 2004 or 5? I've never really been super active, just enjoy reading everyone's opinions and discussions. I'll chime in from time to time. I have had a few different accounts over the years. It's always been a fun place for me to check in on my favorite team. Hopefully we can keep the place running for a long while still. I also would like to recommend bringing back the Lovely Ladies page!
