Is Mcadoo developing Darnold??

No. He's running an offense that basically heavily de-emphasizes the QB position. 43 runs vs. 22 passes. Darnold has thrown less than 25 pass attempts in each of his starts in the post-Rhule era. He's doing a good job managing the game with what he's asked to do but the game plan revolves around asking him to do little.

You're right about our offense in general, but this game is actually the first time I think we saw the QB position executed as Wilks would want - although it is not as important as the physical run game, it becomes important to blow the top off defenses etc.

Yeah and he is a lower end game manager, at that.

Definitely has performed better than I thought he would but that bar was already subterranean.

I don't want to bring his name up, since it's for some reason a sensitive subject for Panthers ?fans?, but could you imagine what prime Cam would have looked like with this offensive line? Oh my god.

Honestly this offensive philosophy would have fit Cam perfectly. A monster Oline with a heavy ground attack opening up deep routes down the field for his cannon arm to exploit. He would have been absolutely perfect for what this offense currently is. And he would be unstoppable on 3rd and short behind this line.

I think hes still hiding darnold. Heavy run and making darnold make plays with his feet

This is what the Patriots tried with cam

Maybe taking the pressure off Darnold is a good way of developing him? Seems to be working so far. Can't grow if you dont have success to learn from.

At that point his arm was already shot. He lost that arm while he was still with us the first time.

Yep when the running game gets stopped we can’t win.

Simple question..

Didn’t remember nor cared about Sam in NY.. But this is the most competent and confidence wise the best I’ve seen of Sam.. 

It also could be the beard Thoe..

He’s actually playing REALLY well. He’s loving up to his draft position right now. Playing smart, making every throw, making great decisions, zero turnovers. What’s not to like? A beastly run game and offensive line will make a mid QB look like a star. Football is a true team game. And we’re actually good now. Let’s fuging go!

I think we can reasonably say McAdoo > Rhule w/ McAdoo > Gase and that Sam has been better with the better coaching staffs. I would love to keep him here at least one year with Johnson or Steichen

[KillerKat]

Darnold is what you want out of your backup. We can do better at QB 1.

Come on…he averaged 11.4 yards per completion.  I don’t consider that to be a QB being asked to do very little.  He balled out and made enough downfield throws that the Lions couldn’t sell out against the run like the Steelers did.

Sam probably played the best game of his NFL career today. No bullshit. Good for him.

All QBs look incredible with the run game clicking like it has. It’s good for his development but he still has a long way to go to redeem himself as a dependable starter.
