Everyone is still figuring out the 3 game stuff and how to properly handle it. I don't think anyone is in the right or wrong yet as next year everyone could do what the Panthers did, it'll get figured out. I mean I personally wouldn't put too much stock in a traditionally conservative minded league sticking to the old poo.

 

doesn't seem like NFL coaches are struggling with what to do with their rookies as a collective group to date though.  

I'd rather Horn figure out with the help of 3 preseason games what he can and can't get away with.....vs throwing him into his first real NFL action week 1 vs the Jets and the learning start there.  I don't think those are irrational takes.  People don't have to agree.  But they are rooted in decent logic and backed by the acts across the league.

In all seriousness, we're stuck with Sam this year, good or bad.  This is the bed Rhule and Fitterer made, and we're all gonna have to sleep in it.  

On the positive side, the Ravens are historically one of the best and toughest defenses in the NFL, year in and year out...  great scheme and hard-nosed style.  So, a bit of a struggle is expected for a guy in a new system.  I have also said repeatedly, if we had just had a guy at QB last year who would take the shots downfield when they were there, we probably win 5 more games.  So, we may just be better off that factor alone.

On the otherside of things, even though the Colts defense was also good, this is more evidence that he hasn't yet turned the corner.  Now, this is a bit of a reclamation project, so it could be mid-season before he feels comfortable, but the troubling thing is, this is what we already saw from his time in NY.  It's not encouraging, but it's still early.

I hope Darnold turns it around when the games start mattering. And everything I’m about to say will be moot.

But if Darnold flops I want the entire staff fired. The fact they didn’t bring in another starting caliber option behind a known flop of a QB is massively unacceptable. Drafting a CB over Justin Fields when you have a known loser at QB was so dumb.

Well, if it is unacceptable, you should tell Tepper that over lunch.  Is there anything else you want him to know?  I’m sure he will get right on it for you.

Yeah the coddling has officially gotten out of hand. Darnold is unproven and needs to be a leader of men not treated like he's still in pampers. You can publicly trash your receivers only so many times before it has a negative effect on the locker room.

      Bryce developing before our eyes

      By Loyalty4Life · Posted

      I want to throw in how much easier it is for a QB to develop and improve with a good oline.  Huge credit to the front office for spending the money on our two guards.  Cade Mays also had a 2nd really good game starting at center.  Love how he has developed and hope he's the real deal. Look at what Stroud is dealing with now in Houston after injuries and problems with their oline.  Strouds accuracy has been greatly affected as it seems like he doesn't trust his protection. Canales is doing a great job developing Bryce.  I think the QB whisperer might be for real. And obviously big props to Bryce.  First round pick that looks horrible in his first year.  Different coaches and systems.  Fans and media are calling him the biggest bust in NFL history and he looked like it in the first two games this year.  Gets benched.  Young man keep his cool and just continued to work and only worry about what he can control.  I hope things continue like this and we end up with a great success story. Bryce Young kept pounding.

      This is exactly what we needed to see from Beyce

      Outside of Philly (who currently is #3 in pass defense) the rest of our remaining opponents are bottom 1/3 of the League in that regard.  Let's see what Bryce can do versus bad pass Ds.
