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..

    • Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
