@@monkeybuisness5275 Well based upon how much Darnold sat in the pocket it seems like the coverage must have been good. There were multiple plays where he was staring downfield bouncing around in the pocket before running it himself. Either that or Darnold just wasn't seeing the windows like he should have been. Curious to see the tape on some of those plays.
@@monkeybuisness5275That’s very relative. The Steelers just put 260 yards on the Jets. I think Sam should have spammed Jets in both games, you never want to make your starting qb feel bad about targeting your star receiver
Exactly. . This should be Moss/Carter and Reed 2.0 with the receivers we got but it's nothing like that. Nailer and Addison should be lighting things up when Jefferson is getting smothered. It's like if they take Jefferson out everything spits and sputters on offense. Get these other weapons going we should be putting up 30-40 points a game not counting defensive scores
I dont understand the Darnold hate here - sure, few plays were missed, but all in all, hes been playing very strong. I feel like people forget some of the great throws he made yesterday, let alone this season. He made more impactful plays than not... Cant stand listening to the hate for someone who has actually been playing very well. We lost by 2 points. Curious how you will react when McCarthy has "bad plays". Its bound to happen... QBs have good and bad plays during every game. We are 5 - 1. What else can we ask for?
@dkesti531 point is - Darnold has come in and has done a great job. I'm disappointed to see the amount of people ready to get rid of someone who is helping us to a 5-1 record. And most likely a playoff run
After our first loss, I cannot wait for JJ McCarthy's Reign, Darnold already bothers me as much as Cousins did! Except 10 million to 186 million makes me exhale some... wow.
You guys were saying how great Sam Darnold was a preseason outperforming JJ McCarthy, and we are now talking about Sam Darnold not being the good quarterback i can only imagine what this coach is doing to JJ McCarthy then
1:00 Anyone remember when sports betting forced WWE to admit it is scripted entertainment with pre-determined results? Might be time to get that Statue of Liberty dress in front of a court of law...
If he sucks for the rest of the season, sure, but if he finishes with good numbers, he's going to get a bag. I'd love to have Patrick Mahomes for backup money too, like that would be awesome, it's not going to happen.
Cant wait for JJ. I like Sam. Just not in 2025. But take over game guys win every game but one since HS. That doesn't just happen. He just has that take over attitude. Just Win. Nick Mullens probably would have thrown some of those passes that needed to be thrown late in the game I am not saying he is better than Sam. In fact, I think Sam might have been shell shocked from missing those long passes against the Jets or Packers. Sams issues are mental issues. He has the talent.
its not as easy as just "spam the Jefferson button" that dude gets more attention from secondaries than anyone in the league. Its not always smart to just throw it up to him 25 times a game
Lots of people did because the rb class was not as flashy as other position rooms and they were 12 i believe. So you want to do what with that information? Thor doesn't make front office decisions. He's a guy.
Mackey, Sam Darnold is playing great he did NOT have a bad game but your giving up on him I will argue any of Sam’s very few mistakes you could chalk up to him being just as baffled by the play calling as the rest of us are.
The 3rd down missing Jefferson? That idiot Addison was in the way. KOC was asked about that bunching and didn’t throw Addison under the bus but sorry Mackey, the execution burst given Addison didn’t run his correct route. Sam threw it high over Addison hoping Jefferson could still make the catch. Addison ‘s worst game ever. Two procedure penalties and a last chance 3rd down throw to ice the game with a first down.
Addison has lined up past the ball a couple of times which has resulted in an offense penalties... I can already see the Vikings trading him before we have to give him an extension...
