Some of y'all gonna flame me for this but I say sit Darnold rest of year. He's being ruined by this coach and o line. I still believe in him. Sit him to save him from this mess.
I’m going to go out on a limb that shouldn’t even have existed ...... I think Sam is a very high quality prospect with good skills, talent, football IQ, humility, and overall positive mindset yes, he has severely been fucked up since the Pats game, but I have faith in him with the right plan. with the right coach and talent, I believe he could be a very high quality NFL QB. The thing I see is a young Big Ben. Lord knows the Stealers protected him, babied him, nurtured him in the first few years. They asked him to Just be a game manager. Don’t you guys remember? then he blossomed (as a player not human) over time I’m so sad that so many fans have given up on him he’s a much better prospect that Sanchez was.
Stop blaming Darnold. Does Le’veon Bell all of a sudden suck? Of course not, it’s the OLine and scheme. Stop it. I’d agree if Darnold was throwing INTs and we can run the ball effectively. but we can’t even run a PA where the kid can step into the throw. Again. Stop the foolish stuff. Darnold is fine.
Yeah, he's been seeing all 16 defenders on the field, he just can't figure out which five are the ghosts.
Explain how that will help him improve his game. On the other hand, making coaching changes now may give him the help he needs.
grest point with Bell this guy was literally (that word again) the TOP player in the history of the NFL in yards from scrimmage avg per game before the season started if a proven entity like that can’t get yards, you know something is up
What I witnessed on Sunday, was unspeakable. I don't blame Sam Darnold, though I should. It's his responsibility to sit in front of the TV for hours and study game film to prepare. I mean, it's my Dolphins. We give up, on average, 32+ points per game. Our secondary is TURRIBLE. We even sat out our best player, CB X. Howard.... Darnold should have gone out there and feasted on our secondary, like every team has done. But give him slack because he's young and inexperienced. Ultimately, I would blame Gase for the lack of preparation. It's on his shoulders to make sure his young QB is prepared and learning the NFL game. Darnold should have had a career day carving up the laughably bad Dolphins D. Really no excuse to be so badly defeated. Throwing multiple INT's to no name scrubs on our depth chart? Gase is supposed to help Darnold learn the NFL. He failed him. Sunday should have been a big game for Darnold.
Don't start thinking you can suck your way into a lower draft slot. Our 0-line is way shittier than your secondary. We'll totally out suck you next game...
He will not continue to develop bad habits behind this o line with this coach. He was more poised in the pocket as a rookie than he is now. He's panicking as soon as anyone gets near him.
He improved today. Was that the Giants? Was it him stepping up? Was it him learning from his mistakes? All the above? Whatever, I hope it continues. I am certain that it was NOT Gase because I saw very little change in his playcalling. Well, at the end he DID use Sam's mobility a little bit, or maybe that was just Sam improvising. In any case, GAse still needs to go away. Sadly, this win probably ensures he staysa
Sam made some nice reads. They also did a bit more boot action, used his mobility more out there. Sam will be fine, I'm convinced of it. Plus he puts the ball right on his WR's on the short and intermediate throws.
I think we will be “fine” with Sam! But in all seriousness if we can’t execute positive yards (+5) on first down we can’t expect to put Sam in a position to make big plays. These remind up the guy on 1st down when everyone (and my mom) can see this coming is just putting ourselves in a 2nd and long. And 50/50 there is a “mystery” flag and kills us. Can the coaching distaff PLEASE be more proactive.
Wish he’d hit on the deep ball. He seems to overthrow receivers that have a step quite often. Other then that, the guy just has no protection when he drops back. It’s the worst OL I’ve ever seen. It’s amazing that he’s able to move the chains at all.
This season Darnold has gotten worse but the idea that putting him on the bench for half a season in hopes that will stop his slide is ridiculous. He has to work through it and needs help to do so. Getting him the right help means getting rid of Gase.
It was nice to not see Edoga get abused at LT. Sam continuously stepped up behind Edoga and moved to the right whenever a Edoga got beat. It was a handful of times. Hopefully Beachum being back helps.
not sure which OL was worse. with the giants injuries along the line they lowered themselves to the jets level. when healthy the giants line is better, no doubt. pretty sure both the LSU and bama lines could come in here and keep darnold dirt free for the most part. really is a disgrace that an NFL team allows this to happen. realize some circumstances are beyond control but its not like we lost 3/5th's of a good line to ACL tears. AND with a young QB to boot. disgrace.
