Joe Brady with lazy play calling

Have you ever called an offense? Do you know how complicated you can make it?

Did you know Luke Kuechly could pretty consistently tell you exactly what the offense was going to do when the ball is snapped?   Opposing QBs are on record he would call out essentially every play they ran.  

I think way too much stock is being put in that one comment.   We got guys that know exact route someone is about to run too.  It’s just about stopping it.  And a QB not throwing to a route the defense won.

Mind you the end of the first half (which appeared to be on Rhule) was a total debauchery and probably cost us the game.

Look dude we all know you hate Darnold. You and the PJ fan club dude talked about it all preseason.

I’m not trying to be a smartass but Darnold does have 11 TDs with a raggedy OL and no McCaffrey in 2 games. I don’t think Mahomes or Rodgers could be successful behind the OL that’s out there right now (and no I’m not comparing them I’m just saying our OL is a dumpster fire)

When Teddy left he made the comments about red zone, which made sense, we also had the same 2nd half sump problems last year. Now, we are getting figured out each game and the play calling is very predictable. 
 

It’s hard to develop a young QB when he’s being chased to and from and the defense is reading every play. You have to game plan, hide your play calls with motion or different packages and put him behind an OL that’s going to keep him on his feet.

Justin Fields or Mac Jones would be in the same situation as Darnold right or maybe worse. Darnold is just accustomed to trash offense so that gives him a leg up.

I don’t hate Darnold lol.  I didn’t hate Jimmy.   Jimmy was just horrible at playing QB. 

I talk about Darnold exactly like I did Teddy.  And then when the crowd shifted on Teddy people got mad because I wouldn’t blame him for everything. 

Last year, Samuel, Robby, DJ, Teddy all had career years.  The play calling overall isn’t horrible.  Situationally he needs work which is to be expected given it is only the start of his second season ever doing it. 

and given how trash our OL is….Joe Brady is part of the reason we have been able to be so competitive.   But he can only do so much.  The overall scheme is fine. 

and I only argued that PJ had more value than Will Grier.  I have never advocated for PJ over Darnold.

I don't understand the kid gloves we've treated Darnold with. Fitts says he's in on every deal but when you backup QB is PJ Walker and a QB who has played better than your current starter gets traded for a 6th round pick, well that's a deal you should've probably been in on. I honestly think we weren't in on that deal because we don't want Darnold feeling any pressure whatsoever. And let's be honest, if Gardner Minshew was on the roster many of us (including myself) would be pounding the table to see him next week. I think we might be a little too focused on "traits" sometimes. Yes, Darnold has good traits. Better than Minshew. But Minshew is a better QB.

Nobody should even have to say this it is nonsense and fugery. You play to win the game and he directly contributed to our loss if there is anything anyone hates it is getting spanked in our own stadium and then watching the opposing quarterback taunt us knowing we handed them the game.

If we even sniff the playoffs then it means CMC is league MVP. Darnold, Brady and Rhule couldn't win the Highschool state championship. Sad but true.

well, I mean Joe Brady was a key element to a college football national championship and the greatest offense college football has seen…

and in a covid year, with no preseason, installing a brand new offense….and no CMC…with a horrible OL and Checkdown QB…..had us in virtually every game. 

and presently we have a winning record with what has been the worst starting QB in the NFL over the last 3 seasons…

Joe Brady isn’t our main problem on offense.

Good grief

[SmittysLawnGuy]

Before you fantards flame me, just remember, we should have won by 40. So who's at fault was it? Someone has to get the blame. Coach sucked. OC sucked. Ol sucked. Sam sucked. Hubby 1. Please stuff a mag light up my ass to shed that proverbial Homer spirit up there.

Nah, I just didn't drink the whole pitcher of Kool aid after the 3-0 start. I realized we beat two of the worst teams in the league and a Saints team that was missing a good chunk of it's roster and coaching staff. 3-0 is 3-0, but I knew those three games really hadn't told us much about who we are as a team.

I don't think we're as bad as everyone is panicking into thinking right now, but I don't think we're as good as everyone wanted to think we were at 3-0. We're somewhere in the middle. Which is pretty much what I expected. I expected us to be .500ish this year.

Apologies to everyone. We'll get um next week tiger. That's the spirit. Keep your chin up! Can't get a hit if you're not up to bat. Awe shucks.

 

 

 

 

Fug you! Winning isn't everything. It's the only thing!

We don't have an OL or the answer at QB. Best of luck with high expectations given that reality.
