Steve Smith said the reason for the drops was cause they were hospital balls, Chris Simms also eluded to it.

100% responsible. Throw the ball away. Don't force a bad throw. 

It is football 101.

It's also football 101 to come back to the ball when your QB scrambles. 

Robby never seems to come back for the ball does he?

Most of our recievers don't seem to follow standard scramble protocols.

Come back during a slide to the sideline? In what Matrix world do you see that happening?

DBs finish routes better and show more effort to come back to the ball than Robbie. He's a stick so I guess he figures he'd lose the 50/50 ball anyway?

I rarely ever see our WRs or TEs break from their routes if they see the QB in trouble to comeback to help him out. Kelce, Adams, Gronk, Hopkins, Kittle and etc will.  And McCaffrey will. All of the aforementioned are high caliber players. Our receiving core is fair. It could be fantastic but we have poor pass protection and questionable play calling. We can hardly expect anything more than a stop-gap measure from Darnold when he has no O-line to protect him so he can do his damn job. No QB could hardly expected to be successful with our non-offensive line.

No he’s not. Come on, now.

 

Anyways, it’s looking like we’ll be looking for a QB again this upcoming offseason. Sam has processing issues, and he’s not as accurate as some would like you to believe. The same folks who would complain of holding onto the ball, accuracy/timing issues of our past QBs, are really seeing that now. Sam isn’t the only problem facing this team, but he’s one of the bigger issues. We absolutely would be foolish to give him 3 years. This is his 4th year in the league, and it’s clear he’s not getting it. It’s not clicking. Best to move on.

At least the Sam Darnold contingency of this site isn’t as nauseating as the Kyle Allen brigade.

 

But yeah, this take is just… garbage

I mean, there are other teams doing an even worse job protecting their QB's. Some are getting worse results and some are getting better results.

This isn't some sort of uniquely bad scenario we have.

Sam Darnold 2021(6 games)

QBR: 47.1(23rd in the NFL)

Have our pass block win rates improved?  I thought we were in the bottom three there.

It’s fine if you think he sucks.  But be consistent with your standards.  That means Darnold belongs in the XFL

He is a 32yo career backup he has 10k career passing yards.

I don't have access to PFF but I would love to see Houston's pass blocking grades, average 3rd down distance and drops.

Drops and some other advanced stats are available free on PFR.  https://www.pro-football-reference.com/teams/htx/2021_advanced.htm

I think they've had 7 drops.

    • I'm still not touching Hunter He again said the other day that he plans on playing both sides of the ball in the NFL.  If he is allowed to do that, he won't be as good on either side as his potential and he's going to have serious injury issues and have a short career.  If he's not allowed to do it, I think he's going to become a problem when the team isn't winning as he's going to feel him not being used on both sides of the ball is why. He's being coddled in that environment with Deion and I think it's doing a disservice to him to prepare him for life in the NFL where your coach isn't a 2nd father to you, to where you can just walk into his locker room and steal his shoes like Hunter does to Deion.
    • He’s a tad behind them. Around 15ish of 32 starters in the league. He’s well ahead of a lot of guys. Tua, Bryce, Cousins (present), Rodgers (current), Devito/Jones, Minshew, Russ (current), Watson, Smith, Carr, T Laws deep ball is weak as poo IMO, there’s plenty. And it’s not like everyone is ripping 60+ers. The key component is if you can rip and maintain velocity of the 30-40 yarders which he does super well. Legit every report out there from Brugler to PFF to PFN document him as good/above average arm strength.  Eye test tells me it’s pretty much that as well, slightly above average.
    • 6-10 carries for  35-45 yds and 3-5 catches for 15-25 would be great.
