But they are scheming players wide open and he is missing the throws. Greg Olsen even said it on the broadcast yesterday that Sam missed a lot of throws.

I don't get why people don't understand this. We should've taken one this year even after the Darnold trade. It wasn't a certainty Darnold was going to struggle, but he definitely had a track record of struggling.

Yeah like the article you linked about how Dallas ran out of the Jumbo set on our undersized defense. Who wrote that article? Was it Captain Obvious? Hahahahahahahhaha.

And there it is. I have no rebuttle so I'll be dismissive. Mmmkay. Hahahahahaahhahahahaha.

You get nothing. You argue inside a vacuum and I knew you'd take the bait. It has only been four games, so I don't know what Darnold will end up being for this franchise, but I believe we should have somebody capable behind him. That is all no more no less. We are literally doing as much as possible for all positions on this team as evidenced by Fitts calling around for available lineman and the report of almost having a WR trade with the JAGS this offseason. Again, I'm sorry you're used to Hurney and sitting pat on what you have, but I've always known life could be this way. Thanks for coming out.

It really don't when you come in with a few decent players from the previous regime. And Rivera/Hurney left about four really good pieces who are breaking out this year. Then add the competent and stellar moves made by Fitts, it doesn't have to be a five year project. This is what I was trying to say in the Darnold thread the other day and was told I had a lottery ticket mentality. I suggested working toward having a competent, young, franchise player backup to Darnold for this very reason. I don't want to look up four or five years down the road and be Jacksonville having to let players walk and trading players like Chinn or Horn for picks. I even like you said loser mentality to not make every move at being competitive.

Maaaaaaan.

So you addressed what I posted yesterday back in the pre-draft discussion before I even posted it? Wow, you are good! Man come down out of that castle and mingle with the town's people.

Yet another post by Mr. Scot where you focus only on certain parts. I also said the draft before this current season, but that wouldn't allow you to say loser mentality would it.

He will still be considered essentially a rookie though. Ends Sarcasm

I don't know what it is, but some QBs get a pass while others don't. People are laughing hysterically because Pittsburgh took a flyer on Haskins, but Darnold in his fourth year is essentially a rookie. And dude is talking about putting people on ignore because we have some doubts. That is what is hysterical to me.

Me saying that I would like to see something behind Darnold has nothing to do with first sign of adversity. The Seahawks drafted Russell Wilson knowing they had already signed Matt Flynn. That was before one game in their system. You are so used to having loser GMs, that you have a loser mentality and thinking preparedness equals lottery ticket mentality. Your trying to play it off like we are only saying this because of his struggles yesterday. I wish they would have addressed it this offseason and really want it for next year. We are all aware that we are watching Darnold through the entire season dude.

Loser mentality. Jacksonville Jaguars tried to win this way with a retread at QB and now they have had to disband that entire awesome young defense they had just a few years ago. We are in the same boat with a hungry, young, and fast defense. I just would like for us to have something in place going forward behind Darnold. Because you know as well as I that we could be five years down the road doing this all over again trying to find replacements for Chinn, Burns, Gross-Matos, or trying to get picks for Horn. Go at someone else with your two/three word posts. No wonder some of you all have 20,000 plus posts on here.

But doesn't it feel like they are doing this for his benefit? When they open things up the first couple of weeks here come the turnovers. For example the play where Tremble ran the wheel route and Darnold threw into blanketed double coverage on a wheel route. And he made that decision with time in the pocket. We did everything right but get a young QB to groom. Darnold is our Andy Dalton. I think he is doing better because Brady is scheming better than Nagy, but I fear this is the best we are going to get from Sam. I mean look at the weapons! He left so many points on the board. We could have legit been up 28-7 if he would've hit on wide open throws with clean pocket. I just don't want to waste the time waiting. That is essentially two years of wasted time for our great young(cheap) defense.

Whatever! We drafted the best kicker in the league now a few years back. He produced for us in preseason and we stuck him on the practice squad like that could stop anything. Now he is routinely banging in winners while we search for answers. Teams kill me with this crap. You know as a GM how important it is to be able to send someone in with no worries from 50 in and highly accurate from 50 out. Yet you treat it as a backup receiver or linebacker and this is where you end up. There were a number of scrubs they could have cut to keep Butker!

Yeah, if they are doing any kind of end of the year percentage contest they all are going to have the same exact percentage! One guy is going to win by two games maybe!

Totally agree. Talent wise, hell no they aren't. But with the way Snow has them dropping in and out, it's like some boogeyman type seeing ghosts stuff. There are literally plays where during the play you think someone dropped into coverage and then on the replay you see that they provided the pressure that freed another player for the sack. It is really cool to watch. Plus we are still doing the Nascar package where we are bringing ends down to play tackle on passing downs which was instituted way back when. And they literally never had anyone coming other than the front four back then.

Man, those and the Facebook Panther fans are nauseating! Can't talk stats are real arguments at all. They'll make some nonsensical statement with no interest in hearing that it is way off base. When you shut them up with some stats or actual factual, interview, or material there is never a response.

Three day turnaround. The league doesn't care about these players. And its seems the NFLPA don't either.

It is nothing wrong with Robbie. Darnold is missing open receivers left and right. And this is with protection. He is still a bit damaged from time in New York and we all see it. He is going to have to open up and make more winning throws, not just game managing throws as the season progresses. As he opens up, the touches and impact for Robbie will come. Plus, DJ is doing good things. It has been three games and he signed a very manageable contract. The offense is still feeling its way out. Picking out one player after going 3-0 and hating on their contract is odd.

Brakes can be pumped a bit. Not letting blind fandom take all the way over yet. But, the 2-0 end is better than the 0-2 end of the media coverage. Its even better than the 1-1 coverage. Definitely can execute better on offense, but the defense Jesuz Christ-O!

I'd just give him Erikson's roster spot and both could stay on active roster instead of one of them getting plucked. Nobody would be looking to pluck Erikson.

This is exactly how I feel. Tepper said that if we expected to win now then we were sorely mistaken. But how long will this regime get if it is continued mediocrity. We allowed two franchise QBs to stay on the draft board for a CB so we could have this Darnold reclamation project without any pressure. The playbook looked limited yesterday after Brady's praise for Darnold. And then they did all the Ron and Fox things that we hated about Ron and Fox in the second half. They started ramming CMC into the teeth of the defense and played loiter ball zone the whole second half. And that punt returner, was just wow.

No, he needs to be babied to look competent. They know that he can't be relied on to operate with full playbook.

I feel like Dazz is better than Shi for PR as I saw Shi mostly just be solid as KR at USC. Both of them would be great speedsters at the bottom of the WR room on offense. I feel like if a guy can't get you something though, he shouldn't be back there and the kid yesterday was a big non threat. Go get one.
