Mayfield and Darnold are playing great ball and have been consistently good all year. Bryce on the other hand didn’t really start putting it together until 7 games ago.

If you average out his stats over the past 7 games you’d have a QB that is on pace for 29 total TD’s over a 17 game season. That’s fringe top 10 QB play.

Who know’s if Bryce has completely turned the corner but he’s playing much better than his season stats suggest. 12 total TD’s to 4 total turnovers over the past 7 games isn’t bad. Just for comparisons sake, Jordan Love is at 11 total TD’s to 1 total turnover over his past 7 games. Pretty similar stats with the main difference being the Packers have a really good defense and head coach.

I don't think I'll ever get past all the finger sacks and tackles whenever a d-line guy can get a scratch at him. It's crazy we're basically 5 years into going full circle on Teddy B level as our QB lol. Speaking of it's looking like Sam, Baker, and Teddy now with the Lions as the new backup are going to be in the playoffs!!! Can't make this poo up.

Don't even try this revisionist history slop.

Sam Darnold showed more flashes than Baker Mayfield here but both were hot and cold at best and had some truly horrendous turnover filled games all circumstances aside. To act like it was only a few people who criticized them is ridiculous.

Furthermore you joined a whole 4 months ago. You and I both know you've been here before that so what was your last account so we can dig up your takes on Sam and Baker? Don't hide now you opened this can of worms.

Google makes things pretty easy to find. And I’m simply presenting what was said. If you have an issue with that, perhaps you shouldn’t have said it. 

For my opinion. I still don’t think Mayfield is that good — like many, he puts up his best stats against all-time weak defenses. Darnold was alright here and I was fine with keeping him in a backup role.

Well, these comments sound familiar.

I mean, Sam Darnold did dumb things.  And he would do them often after doing good things.  Sometimes awesome things.   Most of his career.  Think a lot of that has to do w/ not having good coaching or with a good org (Jets/Panthers).  

Just seems like they have figured out how to remove the dumb.  Sam Darnold as most have always said, was a super physically talented football player.  He potentially could of pursued other positions he had so much talent. Which we don't have right now.  The Darnold and Young critiques don't run that similar.  Most of Sam's critiques were about his decision making.  Most of Youngs are about his physical tools.  Basically polar opposites that simply have being criticized in common.

    • How about just don't draft project players in the first round? How about especially when you have arguably the worst roster in the NFL(we did all those years in question)? You don't even have to dig into those player debates specifically. Just don't grasp at straws early in the draft.
    • I think there were 9, and since I haven't took time to watch each of them on each play individually Its impossible for me to say, which I doubt you have either.   It's not a stat driven grading system; it's a per play grading system.  Tommy Tremble making a great block to spring Rico for that 10-yard run might actually score higher on that play then Ricos run. The actual run might not be anything special; it might be a run that pretty much every back in the league would have made. Here again, I would guess, if you look at every RB in the league, he is towards the top in rushing grade for the year which is what most of us are seeing.  Whether you call that a 90/80/70, 50/40/30, A/B/C, Gold/Green/Red star, it doesn't really matter it's how he ranks relative to everybody else at his position.      
    • Well I will never knock a strong arm, in a vacuum, but it is a lot more than that to it.  Did we kill our roster building and our defense in particular to stick PJ out there?  No. We knew we sucked and he was really just a temporary thing too.  While with Bryce I see the up and down, mostly down, roller coaster on loop now in year three. It has been a Looooong time.    Back to strong arms, it is like having a powerful motor in a car. All the power in the world isn’t going to overcome a bad driver.   But at the same time, even a decent drive with a killer car will beat the best driver if you put him in a go kart   Exaggerating for effect, I know Bryce is not a go kart. Maybe closer to a 6 cylinder with not much displacement…..
