So what's up with the batted balls?

Vilma kept mentioning it was our lineman's fault bc they arent chopping them down. Could be something there.

i don't wanna make excuses for baker but it HAS to be, right? we've had plenty of stank ass QBs in this town and this has never, ever been an issue like this.

i mean as offensive linemen you can hand fight to keep the DL's arms down without holding, right?

I've noticed that when the players on opposing teams dont get through their blocks.... they stop in their tracks and just watch the QB and then jump to bat the ball. I called that out against the Giants... i found it interesting because it seemed to be coached.

Baker's an easy target because  ...

A)whenever he gets in trouble then he automatically almost always rolls out to his right...

B) he sits & stares down his reciever leading the defense more than any other starting Qb i've seen in the NFL prior to releasing the football ...

C) & he's a midget with little man syndrome causing him to say things he can't back up creating unessary momentum for the other team to kick his & our ass with an exclamation mark.& moreover if not this year while being a Carolina Panther then well more than likely in the past he's rubbed someone on the oppsing team the wrong way with his big mouth...

D)& I honestly believe that the NFL has figured out this offense to the point that they are able to easily diagnose the play prior to the snap on at least 75% of their plays...

E) plus he simply sucks...

I have literally never seen anything like this in my entire life. He's on the shorter size but that can't be it, plenty of other signal callers are the same height. 

I've never watched another team's games and seen anything like this, and we see it every game. It's absolutely insane.

Is it completely Baker? Is it really bad scheming with regard to opening passing lanes? Is it poor offensive line coaching?

This is a dysfunctional offense the likes of which I never thought I'd see rivaled after the pickles era and I don't know what to make if it mechanically.

Maybe the teams trying to get rule fired?  Maybe.

From what I've heard, batted balls are on the offensive line. Also, the playcalling is trash, the defense knows where we are going with the ball and when to jump. Mayfield was looking pissed at the end of the game and I think he knows the playcalling is garbage

this is wrong. He has the exact opposite issue. He moves through his targets too fast... that's why he misses open throws. There is hours and hours and hours of footage of this.

Fire as usual @PhillyB. You don’t see R Wilson, Murray, etc getting balls batted like this. It’s a hmmmm from me dawg.

    • I can't help but think that you are equating physical attributes alone with wins. I don't subscribe to that thought. No one will argue that Young has a strong arm, but he makes up for it in other ways. The real limitation for him is he needs good route runners with great hands. That's why Young was so good at the end of the 24 season. Thielen and Coker were perfect receivers for him and he had his best games with them. Not having them to start the 25 season hurt. Look at the first 10 games in 25 with a rookie receiver and no Coker and then look at the final 7 games with a more experienced rookie and Coker back and there is a telling difference in Young's performance. Prior to week 10, Young had 1 game with a QB rating above 100, 2 games with a rating above 90 and 6 games with a rating below 90. In the last 7 games with Coker back, Young had 3 games with a QB rating above 100, 2 games with a rating above 90 and only 2 games with a rating below 90. The tools a QB has to work with matter more than their arm strength.  To go back to Darnold and Stafford, yes they both have great arm strength but neither had much success with that alone. As I already pointed out, Stafford, even with a canon for an arm, only had 4 winning seasons in his first 12 years. It was only when he went to the right environment that he had true success.
    • I don't love this role for him if I'm being totally honest The pregame show is much more flash than substance and doesn't seem like the right fit for what Luke would bring to the table, and that's his vision of the game. I'd like to see him do something where it more involves him breaking down film and explaining what he's seeing out there, as he sees the game in a way very few ever have.
