3.02 seconds in the NFL is an eternity to hold on to the ball. Add in his lack of arm strength and you're shrinking the field vertically and horizontally depending on the hash as well.

If I remember right, the league average is around 2.75 seconds.  Darnold's time to throw last year was north of 3 seconds, so our line was providing that time.  But, if opposing defenses conclude that the QB NEEDS that time to function, they are going to dial up the pressure.

As far as our rather impressive protection (time to throw) number, that was probably a function of not only our OL, but our tendency to be a run-first offense.  That semi-constant run threat gives pass rushers an initial pause which can be the difference between 2.75 seconds and 3 or better.

Drafting young basically limits your playbook on offense to compensate for his size in trade for some schoolyard plays when everything breaks down.

Stroud plays pro style ball and the playbook will not suffer.

If anything we should be deciding between Stroud and Richardson.

Which there are rumors of just that.

Deciding between Stroud and Richardson means picking Stroud.

Im not sure how deciding between Stroud and Young results in a different outcome then. One guy has the tools for the NFL, the other doesn't. At least AR has the tools he just needs polish.

We're not in a position to be "polishing" anyone.

That's a project for a team who has someone that can start for a couple of years while you're waiting on the rookie.

I don’t understand why give up that much stuff to move up.. Only to draft a project??

Why draft a guy you have to fix when 2 guys at the top are ready day 1.. No assembly required??

I don't think we did.

Have a really tough time imagining us drafting Richardson or Levis...

I also remember Darnold getting crushed a few times waiting so long...can't wait to see Young get bear hugged by a 6'5 340 lb dude.

Please. He may not be the best choice at 1 but a bust? He may get injured but come one. His decision making speed, field vision, and accuracy mean he no likely at all to be a bust. That person is Will Levis.  

So he is basically what we like to call a “glass cannon” very good gun/arm, but crappy armor/body& weight

      cam Newton makes his return to Madden football

      By micnificent28 · Posted

      Little light hearted topic.. For whatever reason Cam Newton doesn't appear in Madden ultimate team every year for whatever reason like most legends. I personally believe it's due to them robbing him of appearing on the cover of the video game series during his peak years winning NFL rookie of the year and the MVP super bowl run.  Needless to say I'm a huge Competitive Madden ultimate team player spending hours of days crunching numbers and churning roster management. When this was announced it was a lightening rod in the Madden community. Competitive players know Newton is a game changer.. Your talking fastest quarterback in the game and highest throwing power in the game when he drops. That a long with. Unheard of ability at quarterback like freight train the ability to run over linebacker and corners and I was stoked. I m ashamed to say how much money threw at the game to try to pull newton and failed  But it's a big deal seeing as every pro Madden player most certainly has to have him on their roster and the card art is pretty sweet.

      Player-led approach

      By Icege · Posted

      A few different ways this can be taken depending on how you view things: Negative: This coaching staff is so inept that players are having to practically beg them to put them in situations that we as fans have been screaming for. How could David Tepper and Bryce Young do this to us? Positive: The coaches are listening to the players who are trusting the coaches! Neutral: Collaboration can lead to good things, so hopefully this starts the upward trend we've been waiting for.

      Our 2nd Most Productive WR

      By Icege · Posted

      I've been trying to tell y'all since preseason that Brycen Tremayne is the missing piece. 😛 XL, TMac, Coker, and Tremayne all dumpstering DBs when the team runs out of 10 personnel will be hilarious.
