I understand the need to threaten the defense horizontally, not just vertically, and that screens and swing passes are going to be part of the gameplan, but it's frustrating to see the play calls poo from throwing down the field to more horizontal when the offense is clicking.  Seems to have disrupted the rhythm we had the first couple drives.

That pressure wasn't enough to affect that throw.  He literally completed a pass he's comfortable with on one of those early drives with a defender hanging on him as he released it.  He also threw a pass to Hurst, at least within his catch radius, in the endzone while getting drilled on an earlier drive.

That was an easy toss in the bucket bc Chark already beat his man, Bryce just had to give him a chance and he didnt.  Now, Bryce has made some good throws today, but he still has yet to make those throws when they're open and it's a big problem.  Until he does, teams are not going to respect it.  He's still only shown that he's comfortable throwing in the middle of the field up to 15 yards max.

 

Agree to disagree.  Throwing deeper lob type passes over defenders to drop it in is different than throwing darts.

    • I think the book has been fairly written on Darnold, and by and large stays true. He can be rattled by pressure, and will lose his composure. If a team can get to him and have something go wrong in the plan, the mistakes and errors will pile up. Rams have a better offense, Seahawks sport a better defense. Should be a good 1.
    • Not a defense of him...an understanding of the problem. (something you seem to be lacking right now) 🙄 Bryce in a Canales offense is not an example of a stylistic mismatch, but I can give you one if that helps. When he was playing for the Panthers, Cam Newton sat under OC's running Coryell type offenses. Newton had a big arm and was a strong runner. He fit into that sort of attack very well. Then he goes to New England, where at the time they were running an Earhardt-Perkins system (similar to WCO In a lot of what they do but very different terminology). The Patriot offenses back then were heavily based on timing and rhythm style passing, not something that Newton was especially well suited for. So he washed out at New England, not because he had poor ability (his abilities had been on display here on a regular basis) but because he didn't fit what they wanted to do with their offense. I always go back to Jeff Garcia as one of the prime examples of this issue. Garcia in a WCO looked like a world beater. Put him in any other scheme though...yikes!  So again, Young's issues here have nothing to do with any failure to mesh with Canales. Hell, is say Canales has actually done pretty well at adapting his system to who he has rather than trying to jam square pegs into round holes. Again, it doesn't take an elite level of football knowledge to get this. It's pretty basic. But if you're not even capable of understanding what the real problem is, how are you going to know you to find the right solution? 🤔
