Look Darnold haters, if your receiver can't break free from man coverage and the Steelers drop linebackers into the throwing lane, then they only send 4 and they get there an 1.5 seconds, Tom Brady isn't going to get the pass off either. No QB is.

This isn't a Darnold issue and I hope it doesn't take us spending like our 7th or 8th draft pick to search for a QB for you all to figure that out.

he wasnt open until Darnold's head was down due to the rush. Our pass pro is rough today

And to Darnold's credit, he stopped his scramble, reset and knew where there was an opening. Just no time to throw.

no creativity in the redzone is our achilles heel. has been for 2+ years now.

Couldn't agree more with your 1st paragraph. We still need a QB though

    • You're not understanding what I'm saying. I'm saying that truly elite players will always have a market because they're elite difference makers and that at the "devalued positions" the NFL has discovered that those are spots where unless you have an elite talent there you have an opportunity to get similar results out of run of the mill talent for run of the mill money compared to good talent for good money. The drop off in overall unit performance isn't dramatic dropping down from "good" to "JAG" and it saves money to invest in the premium positions. It's about skill sets and what is hardest to find, simple supply and demand. There's just more serviceable LBs and RBs and safeties out there than their are CBs and pass rushers and QBs. And honestly, a big part of our historic lack of consistent success has been investing too many premium draft and cap resources into those devalued positions. Yeah, we've had a lot of great off the ball LBs and RBs on our way to be a franchise with an overall losing record. Pointing to our success at those positions is proving my point because I just point to our W-L record and overall lack of historical quality at premium positions like QB, WR, CB, etc. We've sucked in large part because we've valued the wrong position groups. In a vacuum it doesn't matter. But in actuality every high pick or big chunk of cap you spend on an off the ball LB or RB or IOL is a high pick or big chunk of cap you couldn't spend on a QB or CB or WR or OT.
    • Right before Kuechly retired, we had some of the worst D line play that year.  We were ranked 29th against the run in 2019.   I remember even Kuechly struggled to get off the blocks at times because the linemen were on second level so quickly due to our porous line made up of Kyle Love, Vernon Butler and a washed up Gerald McCoy.   
    • fingers crossed for BlueSky embeds to come with the board update at least all the schedule reveals will be on the youtube
