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.

    • The only WR that makes sense in the first is KC Concepcion. He fills multiple roles in the offense and is a PR specialist.
    • That depends upon what happens with receiver this year and what happens with free agency next year. Hopefully we'll be good by addressing receiver this year (regardless of whether we snag one in the first round or not). If we don't and are unlucky enough for to Coker get hurt (and X solidifies his bust status, and JAGs be JAGing), then we may be fùçked! But I assume that Dan Morgan and company will feel compelled to look for answers in free agency and use that to set up the draft just like this offseason.  Reality is not as simple as we drafted this position X times in a row in the first. If you're suggesting that we could draft a position in the first four times in a row, that's not likely. At some point probability has to be taken into account. I mean, how many years in a row can you be unlucky with one position?  As I've said at times before, you try and plan for the long term personnel-wise and cap-wise of course, but things happen so, in a sense, you still must look at each season--each "team" if you will--unto itself each season. So many things can happen between now and then. A major industry can profoundly impact the bigger picture (like this year), someone could offer you a trade proposal that you can't resist, players might not have progressed to your expectations--you know, things like that. Moreover, you have to be aware of the dynamics of each draft class, including the fact that there could be unexpected draft risers and fallers during the college season. That's a lot. As of today, we expect the 2027 draft to have more exclamations than question marks at OT and the QB class and WR group is expected to be exceptionally strong. We'll have a clearer picture of whatever we'll have to focus on next year at this time.  Lastly, keep in mind that there's always more than one way to get you to where you want to go. The yearly puzzle is not static, it's dynamic and complex.   
    • I'm fine with Thieneman or McNeil-Warren.. Rodriguez won't last until 51 so they would have to trade up, he may end up being a late first round selection. Anthony Hill Jr. is more likely to be available. I don't expect defense in the first round now after the murmurings of finding another weapon for Bryce.
