Darnold Time

He never had a solid OL though so I wonder if the no pressure results were because he constantly felt like he was going to get hit and when he didn’t it meant more guys in coverage. She’ll shocked that he’d always feel pressure and hurry and no one blitzing means more pass defenders.

Not expecting anything different but it’ll be interesting if he changes any because he should have more faith in the OL.

If you watched him during preseason you could see even with the improved line he still was locking onto his first read and if it wasn’t open he wouldn’t progress. 
Didn’t seem to me like his play improved with a better line. 
He’s just bad.

It's actually the opposite. Sam was one of the worst QBs in the league when he was not under pressure. He just happened to be even worse when he was under pressure. 

Seemed to me it was because even when there wasn’t pressure, he reacted as if there was because the line was so bad most of the time. That’s the problem with stats, no context.

The offense might have some excitement with Darnold’s reckless play 

 I really didn't think Baker would be playing such a scared mundane style of QB. All three of these guys are auditioning for jobs next year so you'd think he'd have a little more yolo ball in him

$18.5 million this year…he should have to face something for it

That wasn't his fault that Rhule was an idiot. I mean you can literally put Mayfield, Darnold, and Bridgewaters name in that sentence and it would all be true. That's how terrible he was.

    • Pytor kochetkov assigned to Chicago for conditioning stint. Wonder if he gets playing time in the playoffs if Bussi or Freddy flounders 
    • What specific LT at 19 are all of the OT Stan’s wanting? Be specific. All have issues and are not guaranteed to improve the OL.. The chances of one of these LT’s who are projected at 19 (Proctor, Lomu) being a bust is much higher than a guy like Lemon/Concepcion imo. Do you really want to draft a kid who has weight struggles along with lateral movement issues? And the other who was a shitty run blocker vs Big 12 competition? Morgan and Co. want to see how Rasheed Walker plays.. They also want to see how Icky’s rehab goes.. There’s a lot of  “wait and see at OT”  We don’t have the luxury for our 1st round pick being a backup. We lack top end talent. Morgan and the others have made it known they want to win now. For that reason, I’m almost positive we punt on OT in the first this year and worry about it next year in the first round if need be.    Thieneman would be ideal. He’s a natural “center field” safety with great coverage skills. For the posters who want trade up for Downs…Do you realize he struggles in coverage? He’s more of a box safety. We already have two of those players.. I wouldn’t mind trading in front of the Vikings for the Thieneman though.. Next need would be DT, but I don’t see the value there at 19.. Same with edge. WR at #19 is very realistic. Who would improve this team more than Lemon/Concepcion? You could argue a slot CB, but the value isn’t great there either. People tend to forget the Seattle Seahawks game.. Yes BY sucked, but no one was getting open.. We could use a quick savvy route runner to beat man coverage. TMAC and Coker are great, but consistently creating separation vs Man Coverage is not their strength.
