Darnold Time

He never had a solid OL though so I wonder if the no pressure results were because he constantly felt like he was going to get hit and when he didn’t it meant more guys in coverage. She’ll shocked that he’d always feel pressure and hurry and no one blitzing means more pass defenders.

Not expecting anything different but it’ll be interesting if he changes any because he should have more faith in the OL.

If you watched him during preseason you could see even with the improved line he still was locking onto his first read and if it wasn’t open he wouldn’t progress. 
Didn’t seem to me like his play improved with a better line. 
He’s just bad.

It's actually the opposite. Sam was one of the worst QBs in the league when he was not under pressure. He just happened to be even worse when he was under pressure. 

Seemed to me it was because even when there wasn’t pressure, he reacted as if there was because the line was so bad most of the time. That’s the problem with stats, no context.

The offense might have some excitement with Darnold’s reckless play 

 I really didn't think Baker would be playing such a scared mundane style of QB. All three of these guys are auditioning for jobs next year so you'd think he'd have a little more yolo ball in him

$18.5 million this year…he should have to face something for it

That wasn't his fault that Rhule was an idiot. I mean you can literally put Mayfield, Darnold, and Bridgewaters name in that sentence and it would all be true. That's how terrible he was.

    • The other draft picks have turned out pretty well. Brooks will too.
    • 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.
