Yeah I think Baker launched it 70 yards on a Hail Mary, it was just incomplete. Kirk Cousins being on there shows it doesn’t show the whole story. A 50 yards pass from Rodgers looks a lot different than a 50 yard pass from Teddy. The great arms can launch it without having to lob it up high.

Lol yeah I saw that 70 yard chunk. It was impressive but it was the end of the game and he gave it his all. That’s not something he can do effortlessly from play to play. I bet his arm got iced after that. It (obviously) had some crazy hang time too. I’m just reading draft profiles and it says “underrated arm strength” but never stats it as one if the best. Similar things show up in Darnold’s. Anyway we are splitting hairs here. The fact is Darnold’s arm is more than capable and he went number 3 overall with his turnover issues for a reason right? I don’t think and average arm, average athlete, with turnover issues gets drafted that high.

Definitely has a better arm. I mean the relatively raw athletic QB. I think Darnold throws great off the run, which usually means they have a solid arm. Allen is on another level. I guess when I think of “average” athletic ability I think of Cousins, Ryan, and Mayfield. I’d put Darnold’s arm, scrambling, and ability to throw off the run higher than these guys.

He doesn’t have Rodgers arm obviously, but he throws very well off the run with great velocity. I mean him getting picked number 3 overall wasn’t considered a reach at the time. His physical ability is pretty high for the position, he was just pretty raw having just started playing it his junior year. I always saw him as a Josh Allen high potential kind of player. Allen has better speed and size, but Darnold’s athletic ability is pretty high. I believe he played linebacker in High School. I’ve seen some crazy plays where he avoids sacks and makes some impressive throws off the run than not many QBs can make. One is his main weaknesses is trusting this arm too much and making dumb throws instead of throwing it away or taking a sack.

Darnold between the ears IS the issue. This means his athletic ability is not. That chart doesn’t work well for QBs. I think the point is Darnold has more than enough athletic ability to be a solid QB. Arm strength and escapability appear to be above average. Does he run a 4.2, or crush the cone drill? Probably not, but that’s not really relevant for the position.

He is somewhat angelic, isn’t he?

Oh yeah! He Skrong!

Your posts make me a creature of the moaning!

I heard Reid slept with Bell’s girl and got on TikTok to brag about it.

Must have been another forum. The Huddle is a calm, rational group of fans…

Little has the LT on lockdown. This is going to be his year……

I thought size didn’t matter?? That’s what you told me in Paris!

D. Arnold from Darnold!

We may have our Cam Chancellor…. Also give me a minute before I can stand up.

Maybe Moton is concerned about playing a different position during a contract year? If he looks average at LT, it could cost him a lot of money versus being a top RT.

Sounds like he has the work ethic and ability to be great! Glad he is a Panther!

I know it was picked, but Darnold throws a dart! It’s a nice change from watching Teddy last year. You can see a huge difference in the force the ball leaves Darnold’s hand vs Grier’s…

He was practicing tripping over the QB after he sacks them.

Checking in on his Ploosa Model (that’s what Tepper wants it to be called now).

You just made Sizzle VERY excited…

Come on now. It’s practice… The point of practice is to correct mistakes. Darnold will throws picks too, and I hope we don’t overreact but I assume some will.

The biggest upgrade is having CMC back from injury!

This scenario has us winning the Super Bowl. The 2015 line is the reason we lost. We also have a young QB. Young QBs really need protection to thrive (especially in the playoffs). I agree our line could be solid this year, we just need a couple young guys to step up.
