Summary of Darnold's day

My problem with Teddy wasn't the scheme, nor that he took what the defense gave him... it was he actively avoided the shots that were there down field or was physically unable to make others... If Darnold can make a couple more of those deep throws per game it'll open up so much more of the short and intermediate stuff too.

I agree with you that it is worth watching. What I think is the difference is that Sam won’t be afraid to take a shot when it presents itself. Teddy on the other hand essentially passed out with fear if he had to go deep. I’m hopeful, but we’ll see.

No clue.  Lot of unknowns about what Darnold will look like here.   

we need Darnold to take shots.  Will he take them when he needs to?  No one knows.

  • Notes from Baltimore:
  • Even with Marlon Humphrey sidelined, Baltimore's secondary made it difficult for Panthers quarterback Sam Darnold to find open receivers, particularly in the red zone. Tavon Young had an impressive breakup, elevating to knock the ball away from D.J. Moore. Darnold didn't throw much in Marcus Peters' direction, because there wasn't much daylight. Undrafted safety Ar'Darius Washington brought cheers from the Ravens' sidelines when he dove to deflect a pass in the end zone. Rookie receiver Shi Smith caught one deep pass working against Geno Stone, but for the most part, Baltimore's secondary had its way.

Darnold is going to be treated like a rookie they want to see growth through the year. This isn’t a drop Tom Brady into the side situation 

Well, 4th year starters just aren’t going to get the rookie benefit of the doubt or patience.  That’s the NFL.

I get management's talk has been about treating him like a rookie but you are right. He's got one to two years to prove he's a franchise QB.  Probably one to show consistent improvement and a second to take a big step up to being a quality starter.

Make no mistake, owners notice empty seats particularly one who wants said region to pony up for a new stadium. 

btw, does Tepper strike you as a patient man?  

Just my guess but I’m pretty sure that Tepper takes ‘the long view’ and thinks that getting it right is more important than getting it fast…

Do any of you stop to think that maybe - just maybe - Rhule understands that his words have impact and what he says to the press is just as much if not more so for his players as it is for the fans? 

Calling out our WRs as a group. Because he knows as a group they are better than they were today and each individual has to take it upon himself to do better with help and encouragement from the group. Without saying so exactly he told them that the Raven cb's are good but as a group they have to be better. He also told them he is watching them 👀 and how they react in day #2 is important.

So the receivers had a bad day. What's the quarterbacks job? Lead your group and get your offense in sync. But you can't build any continuity from the bench. This is the best overall receiving corps we have seen in years as far as pure potential. This isn't Legedu Nannee or Philly Brown or Brenton Bersin or Kaelin Clay. You can't praise them and talk them up when it's convenient and then throw them under several buses when it's time to protect your guys confidence because his completion percentage doesn't paint a rosy picture. Sam is inevitably going to have some bumps along the way but you have to let him get through that if he is to restore his career here. The clock is ticking.

So after playing basically a simulated game in the heat and humidity, you want to trot our starting QB on 2 days rest to play in a meaningless game?

 yeah and my point being that his regular season  completion percentage during his tenure in New York combined is almost an  identical twin or let's say alike  going 19 of 36 in camp

WINNER of the dumbest comment of the day.

It's one day of practice.  Receivers had a bad day, __it happens.  You take stats from a practice session and compare it to his days in NYC.  DUMB.  Sure he had a couple bad throws, as most NFL QBs do, but failed to acknowledge that the receivers had a number of drops which would destroyed your ridiculous comparison.   

This "I told you so" from this fan base is so disheartening.  It seems like the majority of posters on here want him to fail so they can say "I told you so."  Majority of these are the couch GMs that wanted Fields so badly that they grasp at anything they can to justify they are right.

Right or Wrong Sam Darnold is our QB so get used to it.  I pray you don't have an aneurism when he proves he is worth much more than we had to give up for him.

      Serious Thoughts Fellas What numbers would Bryce..

      By Icege · Posted

      Agreed. A healthy bit from column A (stats) and column B (film) paints the most accurate picture, which is currently that Bryce is not performing up to the standard a 1st round QB (let alone drafted #1 overall) is expected to (statistically). When we dig into the film to see why, we see that while he's having his struggles (not stepping up in the pocket, bailing out early, hesitating on some throws, making occasional bad reads, etc) the team that surrounded him last season was simply awful. Bottom 5 defense, bottom 5 OL, bottom 5 weapons... but somehow one player has to overcome ALL of that in their rookie season? Yeesh... Taking this season into consideration, he started where he left off last season and was rightfully benched. Since starting again, the team has gotten on its first winning streak in a few years and he's made good plays to keep them in the game. Is he lighting it up? Nah... but he is beginning to show the reason so many draftniks had him as QB1a for his class. Re: what the team does next season... who friggin knows anymore at this point T_T. Resign Dalton? Sign Jones? Draft somebody in the mid-to-late rounds? Go with another UFA? Maybe grab an FA that can compete with Bryce for the starting position and draft a rookie to sit and develop? Might be best of both worlds for the team, but ugh... not a fun position to still be in with question marks throughout the position group.

      Yeah, this is basically the same as asking, "What if Bryce Young suddenly had Patrick Mahomes brain, how would he do?" It isn't happening. This ship is beyond sailed. Send him somewhere else, let us move on and him move on.

      Dalton is too close to starting right now. If it hadn't been for a car accident, he still would be. Switching Dalton for Jones does nothing except reduce the backup's age by a decade. One is in his NFL prime, the other is almost in his NFL grave. Not a horrible move if you're trying to improve the team. We've got to get better as a team and a lateral move like that would improve the team. The problem isn't that he's close to starting. The problem is we have a GM that signed off on BY and didn't bring in any serious QB competition for camp, a HC that said yeah, he's my guy until BY poo the bed so bad he couldn't start him, and an offense that's limited because BY can't make all the throws a normal NFL QB can.  The problem isn't that Jones could be an improvement as a backup QB. The problem is he could be better than our "franchise" QB.
