It’s this. If we are forced to play ball control smash mouth run game every week and throw for 130 yards a game we are in trouble. Best way to fix that is infuse the QB position with actual talent. 

Don't disagree, but our WRs and TEs are probably the worst in the NFL besides the Bears.  Whoever the QB ends up being will need more help than is on the team today.

An elite QB, sure, but I don't see what Darnold did wrong today. You can win a lot of games with a QB that doesn't turn the ball over. 

We need a starting DE, a starting TE and a starting WR something fierce. 

Yeah they tried lots of passing plays in the 1st half and guys couldn't get open. I'm sure that's partly on McAdoo but I wouldn't be mad at the TCU WR, Notre Dame TE, or Josh Downs/Jalin Hyatt a little further back

If we're going with Sam next season, or some other marginally talented vet QB, then I'd like a tall #1 WR to add some explosiveness to the passing game. If not, then an NBA player type TE who can be a terror one on one and in the redzone. We need to juice up this passing offense so we don't blown out against teams like the Bengals that can toss it around.

On defense another pass rusher would be nice. We're not getting enough pressure against good teams, and anyone can pressure a bad team.

45 running plays vs 24 passing in which only 14 were completed averaging 5 yards a per pass attempt. Darnold played decent, but our offensive strategy was once again don’t let Darnold lose the game. Limit his attempts (especially deep passes) to lower his risk. He is definitely the weakest link on offense. TE is pretty bad as well…

You can win a lot of games with that type of QB play IF the other team gifts you three turnovers.

Darnold looks serviceable because the entire offensive game plan basically boils down to don't let Darnold thrown the game away.

I know Sullivan is our 3rd TE, but when Darnold escapes pressure, rolls out and throws a dime that hits you right between the numbers that you drop, I don't know how people can say "darn, if only we had a QB".

Well he's executed the game plan two weeks in a row. Go team.

Who in the draft would better than Darnold in their first year (2023)?  My answer is none as long as they are on the Panthers. We got Jags for pass catcher...Did you see DK, Lockett,and wr3, TEs running routes to get open, coming back for the ball  and fightin to hold on?  Panthers stone hands and feet pass catcher cant get open or when they do drops them.

Not saying Darnold is good...he is servicable and young.  Just get some better coaching with better talents.

My point is that we're winning by downplaying the QB position. That is not sustainable in the modern NFL.

I just hope Tepper isn't falling for this poo but he has been utterly hapless as an owner so far so I'm sure he thinks his team has arrived.

If a rookie QB everyone was excited about did that, everyone would be shouting how he made a great throw but the guy dropped it.  I'm not crazy about Sam, but I wish people could be more objective.

      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.

      Real Mid-Season Development at QB: Bo Nix

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      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.
