Baldy loves him some Sam Darnold

Is the audible surprising? Who did Marshall play for at LSU for a year? 

Also, Darnolds throws in this game looked better than any single game I saw with the Jets. Even these preseason play calls make Adam Gase look like he should be the QB Coach for the UNC Tar Heels or something. Seriously, Sam didn't have to improvise to be good on Friday. It always seemed that his highlights in NY were improvisation. 

I mentioned the audible because a lot of the hot takes around here seem to imply (or just flat out say) that Darnold's problems stem from slow processing of information. 

I see differently.  I have just made a bet on his exceeding 23 1/2 TDs for the season, at 115-100.

Slight derail but we talk a lot about how good Marshall looks,  but not enough about how much better he looks than Chase. 54 picks later and there is a quite reasonable chance we got the better receiver from the same school. 

Kudos for that to our GM and scouts.

Yep, he has an arm, is mobile, but if the defense gets to him he’s going to get rattled and start doing stupid poo.

TB got rattled too behind this jok oline last year and started playing like poo…even more so.

It’s no wonder only the top olines go to the big show or even deep in the playoffs 99% of the time and the 1% is with HOF QBs.

Just put tremble in to block every play.

That is every QB to ever play the game.  

Seriously.

The pass rush will be ferocious until teams remember CMC is also on the field.  A couple well timed screens/draws will take that deep pass rush right out of them.  
 

If all goes well, defenses will have to stay home just to keep McCaffrey from 200yds a game.

This cannot be underestimated.  We have a couple of options to make them pay.  CMC being the most dangerous. A couple of blitzes that result in CMC breaking away for a good run will make many teams question a blitz.

Plus we have DJ who is a WR with a RB mentality.   And of course his newest target Arnold.

Yep.  They want to repeatedly send the house?  In the immortal words of Cam Newton "Thats cool, watch this".  We put one of our all world YAC guys as an outlet in the space vacated by the blitzers and kill them all day.  CMC will destroy teams like this if they so choose.

I'm willing to proclaim we got the best wr in the draft.  How about that?

Too early to say that, but I will say he looks every inch of the 5 star prospect he was rated as coming out of High School.

I've never seen a rookie wr play as well as a pro right out of the gate. Yes it's early but I never proclaim any rookie as going to be great but this kid is a stud. If he flops I will eat my words, but I think I won't have to worry about that.

I was ecstatic when we drafted him, his measurables are ridiculous and he doesn't drop balls.

With that being said I am shocked that Chase is dropping so many balls. I think though he is not as savvy or refined route runner as marshall is, so at the start he will struggle a bit more.

    • One has a proven, offensive-minded, Super Bowl winning head coach along with a top 5 OL + defense. He's being protected and getting the ball back not having to chase the other teams. The other had Frank Reich + Thomas Brown their rookie year with a bottom 5 defense as well as a bottom 5 OL that gave up the 2nd most sacks against a rookie QB ever. The sophomore season is being ran with a top 5 OL but also with a rookie HC (that has just one year of OC experience) and a bottom 5 defense still. The Broncos defense has allowed over 20pts just three times this season (26 vs. SEA (L), 23 vs. LAC (L), 41 vs. BAL (L)). Meanwhile, the Panthers have had ONE game where the defense gave up less than 20pts (vs. NYG (W)).   I'm not sure how folks couldn't expect Bo Nix to statistically perform better given their incredibly different situations. With that said, I didn't expect Nix to keep ascending as impressively as he has this season. Hopefully his arc will give other older college QBs a better shot, especially given the recent media blitz against the NFL regarding how development of the QB position in the league seems to be non-existent. Hopefully Bryce continues to improve as well, of course.  
    • “You can learn a lot in 10 games,” Nix said. “[I’m] still learning, still growing, but just finding ways to execute the play that’s called, no matter what it is: run play, pass play. It doesn’t matter. Just finding the right way to go with the ball.” To that point, Nix noted how his developing partnership with head coach Sean Payton has helped Denver’s offense get to the next level. “To be honest, I think at the beginning, you kind of make the NFL bigger than what it actually is,” Nix said when asked where he feels he’s made the most strides. “These players are really good, but at the same time, you have really good players on your level. I think simplifying the game, trying to play as fast as possible, and finding a completion, which is what we’ve been able to do here recently. “I think as we’ve gone on, Coach and I have found a good rhythm of what we both like, what we can kind of put out there on the field, and what we can execute. Then the guys have kind of adapted to it, found our roles within the offense, and executed at a high level. It’s just all about slowing the game down and processing things in a manner that you can handle. Just kind of see one or two things, and let those guys take you to where the ball is supposed to be.” -Bo Nix From what I'm gathering regarding Bryce, the Panthers entered this season with a reset mindset. It's Young's rookie year, which explains the benching. Now, we're beginning to see the development of Canales and Young's offense. Slow development but we're winning 😃 
    • Bix has more tds through his first 11 games than bryce has his entire career....no comparison at all he made amazing throws during his first games his decision making just keeps getting better.  Young does not have the physical ability ro make the rhrows bo makes
