So I just was looking at Sam's NextGen Passing Charts from week 1 & 2 side by side thanks to a tweet from Steven Ruiz:

Interesting and encouraging to see the HUGE improvement on intermediate passes 10-20 yards) from week 1 to week 2.  And WAY FEWER passes at or behind LOS.

 

 

It's almost like this guy has top QB talent and just needed proper coaching and time to rebuild his confidence.

He’s gotten in trouble at SC and one of the Jets coaches for running like a linebacker, and not a QB, lol.

I mean I don't get why. Sam isn't a small guy and that particular run looked just like anything Cam might do. Cam got hurt trying to make a tackle after KB fatassed a route then fatassedassed the tackle after it was picked and then Cam dove and hurt his shoulder. Then it got finished off in the pocket doing a pass.

It wasn't the runs that ended his career.

I’m not talking about the runs themself, it’s that Sam lowers his shoulder to make a tackle while running…..he had to be told to slide, several times.

Yea so did Cam, I don't have an issue with that at all. 

Don’t have an issue with him getting injured?  I don’t know much about him I’m afraid, save the negative stuff, such as not diving for the ball to recover a fumble in the SB.  I read he was afraid (understandably) of getting injured, due to past injuries.

How did you come up with that? I said I don't have an issue with him running the ball and lowering a hit himself to get into the endzone. Cam didn't get hurt running the football he got hurt throwing the ball and trying to make a tackle.

Like Lamar Jackson hasn't come close to getting hurt running the ball all over the shop. They've gone over this many times. QBs get hurt IN  the pocket not running the ball. Other than, ironically, sliding where you've seen bridgewater and flacco get knocked out sliding.

I like Sam and while the jury is still out, I think we will walk away with value relative to the compensation we give to the Jets. That said, I think for us to maximize the value I expect this to be a somewhat lengthy ( more than 1 season) reclamation project. He will not be all world by the end of the season and there will be more issues uncovered.  Rhule and Co are reteaching NFL QB 101 for lack of a better example.  We just need to have a little confidence in Darnold being a worthy pupil.

      Crazy stat

      By Luuuuuuuuuuke59 · Posted

      The bottom lines to me are that a) we played well enough to beat the best team in the league and b) Bryce Young is growing into a bridge QB role (his ceiling) for us. As much as I don't want BY around after the season, it seems DC can still build the O with a game manager at QB for now. Best case scanario, we can build the D through the draft this year and take a QB we have conviction outside the 1st this or next draft. If BY keeps improving, we are going to win a couple more games this year.

      Bryce developing before our eyes

      By *FreeFua* · Posted

      Bryce has been a completely different QB since coming back. That started in Denver where it was obviously he was playing a lot more loose and willing to push the ball downfield  Bryce continues to build off of the previous weeks performance and that’s what you want to see Bryce has been making some real good anticipation throws. Reading defenses well. Pushing the ball downfield (7 throws of 20+ air yards yesterday. 8 if you want to include PI to Thielen). The deep ball accuracy has been there. Some of Young’s best throws yesterday were incompletions. Sideline balls to XL and Moore both should’ve been caught. RZ dot to Tremble should’ve been caught. And another RZ ball to Moore that Young gave him a chance at. Bryce is starting to execute Canales offense and yesterday Canales finally opened it up a bit. Canales was to blame for the 126 passing yards in Germany as he played a more conservative game.  The next bit I’m looking for his for Young to be a bit more decisive with running the ball. Start putting that on film and it’ll help open things up a tad

      Gameday Thread: KC-CAR

      By 45catfan · Posted

      This KC team isn't the juggernaut it once was.  How many one score games have they won this season?  How many of those one score wins would probably have been loses if Mahomes wasn't the QB?  Their secondary is vulnerable and it was obvious today.  Grandpa Thielen was able to get open at will all game long. Bryce played well, but thinking this is the exact same KC defense Young was able to move the ball against as last year isn't going to compute.  Last year's KC defense was #2 overall.  They have regressed. I've said it before, Bryce can move the ball before the red zone, but once there, he struggles.  He is not a threat with his legs and the passing windows get much tighter.  He's not turning the ball over, so that is a great place to start and build upon.  I still question much better he can get.  Beyond a game manager?  I highly doubt it.
