It’s hard to get excited about a highly specific stat with some abstract condition. Saying Sam is really really good (not the best mind you; top-3) but only if you look at these 3-4 game stretches... seems forced. I like reading them too, but it’s easy to see how this sort of framing neglects the reality which is, Sam is only really really good for 3-4 games in a row. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flacco's last game he played last year was at the Colts as the Broncos starter. Kinda poetic Flacco's first game back is at the same Lucas Oil Stadium were his season ended last year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gastineau Lives Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 I mean all you had to do was watch last weeks game. Sam had all the time in the world to throw and guys wide open by three four five yards and he couldn't do sh*t. Meanwhile, Josh Allen had to fit those precision passes of his into tight windows and was under a barrage of Jet pass rushers EVERY SINGLE play and yet somehow turned that chicken sh*t into chicken salad. There was one play in particular, I think it might have been in the third quarter when he had a John Brown in the back of the endzone and Brown failed to jump the necessary 7 feet in the air to catch the ball delivered by Big Josh. Made him look bad. This is why he's not only the best QB in the NFL in my opinion, but probably the best to ever lace on a pair of cleats. Those lucky Bills. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shoot, check the uniforms even. In 2018, he was #2 behind Mahomes. In 2019, the asterisk says he was #3. Just weird that the particular weeks (10-13, and then 14-17) line up like that. Maybe this year he’s going to kill it weeks 6-9, lol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps he will get better at the latter and as a result improve on the former. If he ever can put it all together (which is doubtful), he would right up to the head of the class with the top young quarterbacks in the game. As far as Darnold is concerned, that is the word I have to use; concerned. I have been on his bandwagon since we drafted him (although, I didn't like the trade up at the time). Last Sunday was very disturbing but I am not prepared to consider the B word. Still, it is looking like he may not be our franchise quarterback. Did the drafting of James Morgan mess with his head some how? If so, he doesn't have the mental toughness to make it here. Time will tell, and I am hoping he turns it around big time. However, my optimism has dampened considerably. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JetBlue Posted September 19, 2020 Share Posted September 19, 2020 20 hours ago, peekskill68 said: I'm not a tape guy but every time I see Darnold play there is this underlying level of chaos that just seems to follow him around. Dudes like Brady are just so much smoother. I don't know if it's all Sam with the happy feet and the quirky angles, or if it's an unclean pocket, or if it's crap receivers who can't create separation. But even with a weak armed Pennington there just seemed to be more of a machine like precision that just moved the sticks... I'm starting to think it's Sam. I was comparing him to Burrow the other night and not saying he will be the next great young QB but you could already see the poise this kid has and his command of the offense. He was making throws to windows that I felt would probably be INTs if thrown by Sam. He just seemed crisper and more disciplined in his movements and decision making. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one is, I get the cliche that great players make the supporting cast better but that doesnt apply here IMO. The cast has been hideous.
