Sad 😞 crap right here. I understand you have to protect your QB1 but this is not okay. Send the wrong message to the locker room

Not crap if true. Everyone has bad days and our receivers could have too. 

Few others talking about drops on social media too.

How?!?!?

Were you at practice?  Do you know our offense and the calls like a coach would?  You realize how important it is for a receiver to run a precise route, yes?  A couple yards too short or a couple yards too long can make the pass look really wrong . . . and it may not be on the QB.

If the receivers were really at fault, he's placing the blame where it should fall.

Darnold will be judged on his performance in games that count.  Likewise will Matt Rhule.  Let's give them both the opportunity to play it out and see where we end up.  Knee jerk reactions like that aren't helpful.  Just like with Kyle Allen or TB5, you need more than just a few games of data to see the truth.

Sam Darnold is a career 60% passer.  Today he was a little under, with some drops.

Are we seriously doom and glooming over one so-so practice?  Darnold will succeed or fail.  We'll know by the end of October assuming he isn't injured.

Cam only had 3 season’s with atleast 60% passing (and 2015 wasn’t even one of them)

Cam Newton is a unicorn.  You can't compare stats with Cam.   He is just his own thing.  It's never worked IMO.

    • I don't get the Hunter hate. Just imagine his ceiling if he stopped trying to be this 2way freak and focused on one side of the ball 
    • 100%.  You have to play the cards that are dealt.  Not the cards you wish were dealt.
    • I'd say its definitely going to be addressed this off-season.  We went into the last draft with a roster of RBs including:  Chubba, Blackshear, and Miles Sanders. We picked Jonathan Brooks in the second and still signed Rashaad Penny afterwards.  Fast forward....One turned into a top 10 back, 1 is injured/out for most if not all the '25 season, 1 retired, 1 will either take a huge paycut or be cut, and the last is a restricted free agent. We brought in Mike Boone as well. Add him to the free agent list also.  We need a physical option.    Which qualifies:  Ashton Jeanty(Boise St): Overall ranked Top 10. Almost 2k yards after contact, 28 tds. Would take our first rounder. My money would be on an NFC East team selecting him. (97.2 PFF run grade) - 121 forced missed tackles.  Omarion Hampton(UNC): Ranked everywhere from 20 - 59 overall. Consensus #2 back after Jeanty. He'll be a second rounder. 1,222 Yards after contact w/ 15 tds.  (90.5 PFF run grade) - 72 forced missed Tackles Kaleb Johnson(Iowa): Ranked from 38 - 69 depending on which media outlet you prefer but generally #3. 2nd/3rd possibly. 1,060 Yards after contact w/ 21 tds.(86.7 PFF run grade)- 66 forced missed tackles Cam Skattebo: Ranked from the 50's - 104. Every mock I do he ends up BPA at some point. 969 Yards after contact w/ 17 tds(92 PFF Run Grade). Probably the best receiving back of the group. 81 forced missed tackles.  If the '24 and '25 draft classes were combined, IMO the rankings would be, in order: Jeanty, Hampton, Brooks, Johnson, Skattebo. I wouldn't take one high but I'd take one for Chubba and Brooks insurance.
