i honestly want to see darnold back under center.

watching pj gives me anxiety. you just know a meltdown is coming.

watching mayfield just pisses me off.

it's been so long since darnold has negatively impacted my game watching experience until i'm willing to give him the chance to remind me of how he does it.

I have a sneaking suspicion it won't take much for us to be reminded of the frustrations our other QB bust causes...

I don't think it will matter. We're going to see the same consistently bad level of QB play for the remainder of the season (unless Darnold balls out behind this re-vamped line.

I've seen enough of Mayfield now to know he's not only not the future here, I think he's done in the league. His throws look like Broncos era Manning. He never recovered from the shoulder injury, and I doubt he will. I'll admit, I was hoping for him to be successful here. I was hoping for him to be the future here. But he's not the same QB he was, and he's not starter quality, sad to say.

I'll continue to watch, however, because the Defense is genuinely exciting to see. Between that and the run game, we're looking like a team that's ready to make a jump to the next level. Any coaching prospect should look at this team and be excited for the possibilities. But we need a QB, and a WR corps beyond DJ.

He is next guy up so no real surprise. Baker didn't earn another week so on the the next until this season's merciful end.

We should play him out the rest of the season.  We know what PJ can do and, well, I'm not as high on Baker as I was in the beginning.  Don't let Baker play anymore so he won't hit the 70% mark.

      Nice to win, but Tim Weaver of SI has key duds among the studs

      It is hard to win in the NFL. I’m never going to put an * next to a Dub.

      The Dowdle Mirage - Play Calling Problems

      By TheSpecialJuan · Posted

      We had a very favorable matchup our o-line manhandles theirs. Even Etienne looked like he would have had a great game on his limited rushing opportunities.

      The Dowdle Mirage - Play Calling Problems

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      I think that's part of the problem, he's spreading the ball around too much, many of them are the first read play calls, and on top of that, a large portion of them are purposefully called screens or other short passes. I just looked, the Cardinals are the only other team in the league right now without at least 3 players with 100+ yards receiving so far this year, with the majority of teams having 4 or more.  And even then, their #2 right now is McBride with over 200 yards. Our 2nd leading receiver this year has 108 yards (albeit with 4 more players with 82 or more). On the surface, that might not be as alarming as you might think, but when you add into it that Bryce is currently 6th in the league in pass attempts, and it's even more alarming that he hasn't gotten a 3rd player to 100 yards so far and his second highest is only 108. XL has 39 yards on 18 targets.  Renfrow has 82 yards on 24 targets.  Tremble has 87 on 16 targets.  Sanders has 92 on 14 targets. None of those are good enough, so why aren't we calling more plays with T-Mac as the first read and forcing the ball to him (and again, that's not me wanting my guy to get more targets, that's me wanting more targets for the only productive pass catcher so far this year, I'd feel the same no matter what that player's name was). All of this is why I have issues with Canales' play calling.  How do you have a player who had 73 yards in the first half and then you only give him 1 target in the 2nd half despite playing from behind the majority of that time? You can be happy about the win, happy about Dowdle getting 200 yards, but in a game where your QB threw it 30 times, I can't accept the above sentence in the same breath, that's just terrible play calling, which is on top of the already predictable play calling in general, which is also on top of boring play designs as well. Add it all up, and THAT is why I'm unhappy even after a win, not because "my guy" didn't have a bigger game.
