Yes there has never been a lot of correlation between teams and their preseason records and regular season records that I can remember. Some great teams have looked terrible in the preseason and vice versa. It's not really a great thing to make knee jerk reactions on.

You've got to remember they dont game plan or scheme for these games at all. They are going to run base vanilla plays. They aren't going to show many of their plays in the preseason. Especially their redzone plays.

He wasnt staring down Robby. There were two receivers running two different depths in that area. Watch it again, there is an underneath route he was looking at too.

You definitely dont build teams to be consistently good in 1 year either.

There's no such thing as "Grier garglers". He played very solidly tonight. Anyone wanting to say otherwise isnt being constructive. You can admit that, it's ok. You know what you wont see all week? Multiple posts about how Grier should start over Darnold. We understand some people really dislike him but at least be constructive about it.

The people saying he did awful are the same ones who were posting all week about PJ being great with his below 50% completion rate last week.

Clay Johnston has looked really active.

Yea it was definitely a miscommunication and Grier misread it.

I'm fairly sure it was an option route where the wr could sit in the zone right there or cut it deep.

The certain group of Grier haters have just been waiting this whole time to mess up so they can blow this place up. Especially the ones that overreacted so much to PJ last week. Grier isnt good either but the fact that hes played this long wne all they can complain about is him taking a sack on a totally missed block speaks for itself.

The blind Grier hate is crazy. Hes not great but hes went what 4/5 so far with a perfect pass to Marshall? He gets sacked when the guard totally let the DT come up the gut literally untouched and there are multiple posts about Grier taking the sack..

Wow that Dennis Daley total whiff.

That throw by Grier to Marshall couldnt have been handed off more perfectly.

What would be the reason for that? Hes obviously going to be the week 1 starter.

Because PJ is competing to be a backup. They arent the same.

That Grier isnt that good. That doesnt mean PJ is either though

That's true but at least those injuries would be risked on downs that actually count.

Once the regular season starts I definitely dont think there will be any worry about protecting Darnold. Training camp and preseason is a totally different thing than the regular season and he will basically get one make or break season most likely. Darnold has even acknowledged that.

I believe he just told the WRs to catch the ball.

No one is saying the WRs are a problem. They are saying they had drops, which they obviously did. Why is this such a disagreement. You can say a wr dropped the ball without it meaning anything else.

Its not coddling if the wrs dropped the ball. Again, what Rhule says may actually be the truth. I'm not sure why so many people want to turn everything he says into something else. He was 19/36 with a bunch of drops. I know there were more than 5 but let's say 5 of those were caught. Hes up to 24/36 with a 66% completion percentage and everyone that didnt watch it is reacting completely differently. Well almost everyone, some are stuck in their opinion regardless.

I saw tweets about at least 7 or 8 wr drops...

I'm not sure I agree because if Darnold sucks we will probably be picking early and this next qb class looks like it could be fairly stacked.

It sounds like there is a surprisingly high amount of WR drops today.

Hes not even played a down for the team yet. Stop reaching.
