I just find it funny that when Trevor, Fields, or Sam have a bad practice this place laughs their socks off while simultaneously looking to spin every negative into a positive for a bad Zach day.

Usually teams go out of their way to make a different mistake and draft a completely different player. I see a bunch of similarities between Darnold and Wilson as prospects. Agreed. I don't think any other QB was really in consideration at 2 though. I suspect it was either him, or stick with Darnold. Even though Darnold wasn't drafted by JD, give credit for being willing to make the same mistake twice. Just because a decision doesn't work out doesn't mean that next time you need to do the opposite... What remains to be seen - is it that he *can* make those throws, or is it that he makes throws like that when he doesn't have to? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure how a mixed day or how you put it "eh" then turns into Mostly Bad. Sounds like he made one bad read on the INT and then pretty much a flat day - nothing special but nothing bad either. He's going to have ups and downs and anyone expecting this kid to be an all-pro this year is going to completely wrong. He's going to struggle A LOT. It's the nature of rookie QB's in a new system with 7 new starters. But no reason to make what was a basic day and call is Mostly Bad. It wasn't Mostly Bad. 9 for 16, 2TD's and a Pick. Surely not a great day but not Bad. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyLV Posted August 2, 2021 Share Posted August 2, 2021 1 hour ago, JiFapono said: Dude. Com'e on. lol Every QB in the NFL can make that throw. Anywho, there is no reason to go to this length to defend him. I didnt even knock him, I asked a question. And stop acting like I'm making this about who I wanted. I've literally not brought up that players name once, since draft day. Not once. It's this legion of posters who want to pin me as a Zach hater and Fields lover who continue to bring him up. I'm ride or die with Zachkapono because he's the QB of my favorite Football team. So as a fan curious about what's going on in camp and interested in Zach's development, I simply asked a poster who I respect, that was at practice, his observations that were/are a concern for many of us. Nothing more, nothing less. I even said in my post, maybe the coaching staff doesnt want to mess with those aspects of his game because that's what makes him unique but wanted someone's opinion that was there to see it first hand. I wasn't attacking you, but complaining about Zach making off platform throws when it was viewed as his biggest strength, is sort of like making a tinder date with a redhead and when you get there you are like " I don't do redheads" 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What remains to be seen - is it that he *can* make those throws, or is it that he makes throws like that when he doesn't have to? The difference is judgement, right? When to do that stuff and the reading of the defense and understanding of schemes so that stuff comes off and balancing that with not playing hero ball. I get the sense that the reason JD and others considered keeping Darnold this Spring is precisely because of his ability to do the off platform stuff and their belief that they could reduce the errors/misreads through their system. They saw a maybe more physically gifted (albeit on a more slight frame, bigger arm) on Wilson with similar traits, but based on their eval think he has the horsepower to process the game better and make sounder decisions with the ball. For all our sakes - I HOPE THEY ARE RIGHT!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has to be able to play under duress from the pocket and that’s what he needs to be good at. He’s got the talent to do it, he just was never really pressured in college. The off balance bomb he threw at his pro day looked cool and all but would never happen during a game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has very good footwork when he needs to but also has the ability to throw the ball accurately from different arm angles and off-platform The only reason to be concerned about his footwork is because you're trying to find something wrong with him so you can be proven right. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The off balance bomb he threw at his pro day looked cool and all but would never happen during a game. The off platform is fine, it's the footwork that scares me. It's Sammy D all over again. Feet pointed one way, ball goes the other and it's scary, both loves to throw across the field and Zach tends to heel click/leave his feet. Again, Zach has a stronger more accurate arm so hopefully he can get away with it the way Sam doesnt but I was really just curious if they were coaching that piece out of him that could be seen at practice. I think it can be a strength but it also can lead to inaccurate passes and can put your body in vulnerable positions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
