Our last franchise qb was scrutinized on everything from his throws to how he sat on the bench to how he celebrated. Scrutiny comes with the position chief 🤷‍♂️

I went back and read the training camp threads from last year.  Just a few observations:

1)The defense, in particular the secondary, was MUCH softer.  We rave about our defensive additions this year, is there any surprise to see improvement?    A sample quote to highlight the theme:

"Secondary and defense in general is going to be rough this year.."

Which was right.

2)We complained about the oline last year, even with Okung. Okung kept leaving practice early.   There were apologies to Teddy for what we were about to do to him.  

3)The rips on Teddy at training camp are not like what we're seeing here.   There were certainly fewer rips.   Part of it was, Teddy looked better in camp against a softer D.  Part was probably Darnold is not as familiar with the offense as Teddy. Part is many of us are expecting Darnold to be better than Teddy.    Part of it is the wonderful new personalities we've added  to the Huddle this year.

The huddle is definitely bitchier this year, even though we had much more to complain about last year.

Guys it’s training camp on a hot muggy Monday in Spartanburg mistakes are going to happen and that’s what training camp is for. Optimistically looking at today it seems like some of Darnolds passes were on target but went through revivers hands and Jaycee Horn really might be that guy. 

When our O gets to the point where it can move the chains consistently in practice, they will be effective against a top 10 D.

Oh absolutely the secondary is more of a challenge now which is a good thing. With Teddy he was efficient but early on some people were pointing out his penchant for short throws and wobbly long passes. Okung was a different guy for sure but he was serviceable he just didn't stay on the field long enough. The bitchiness factor is largely to do with how things ended last season. There were fans who rode the Teddy train all the way off a cliff because they didn't want to acknowledge his faults until the bitter end and some never did. Darnold is younger has better tools and has higher upside than Teddy so the bar should be higher to say the least.
