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.

      PFF Grades vs Dolphins

      By frankw · Posted

      PFF has it's uses for certain position groups but it shouldn't be seen as gospel. Sometimes you just have to look at what you're seeing with your own two eyes.

      The Dowdle Mirage - Play Calling Problems

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Also, this post is EXACTLY what I wanted to move on from Bryce this offseason and sign Jameis. Because he'd be slinging the ball all over the field and it would expedite the growth of all our young pass catchers, which to me, regardless of our record, would have made for a "winning" season.  We all want our long term franchise QB, but if you can't get that, expediting the improvement of the rest of your roster is a solid consolation prize given the state of our franchise.

      The Dowdle Mirage - Play Calling Problems

      By Icege · Posted

      You are correct that context matters. Let's look at the timing of those six (I accidentally counted one of Etienne's previously) runs of 10+ 11-yd run | Q2 10:43 (0 - 17) 14-yd run | Q2 9:49 (0 - 17) 25-yd run | Q2 1:47 (7 - 17) 53-yd run | Q3 14:53 (13 - 17) 43-yd run | Q4 9:09 (20 - 17) 16-yd run | Q4 4:31 (27 - 24) Q1 the offense basically walked onto the field and then immediately off thanks to Bryce's turnovers, but that's the only quarter that Dowdle didn't rip off a 10+ yard run. I think that's also where folks are basing most of their frustration... because Q1 was straight cheeks. By the half though, it was 10 - 17 with the Panthers set to get the ball to start the half. That's not a situation to get desperate and start flinging it everywhere. Though not exactly related to the topic, I do have to give Evero credit where credit is due. There were halftime adjustments made that resulted in the Dolphins not being able to mindlessly abuse the defense over the middle. That's not even mentioning how they completely stuffed the Miami run game in the second half as well.
