You also have a problem understanding what analysis means. I could say that Darnold is fantastic at manipulating the pocket and his short to mid range accuracy is amazing. He made some great throws from the pocket and while rolling out as well... But nah, bring up the gross 7.47 yards per completion and you’re upset.

co_springs_billsfan Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 (edited) This really applies to any rookie quarterback, but since Darnold is/was getting hyped somewhat based on his preseason performances I'll put it here: Was listening to Dan Patrick Show this morning and they interviewed Joe Thomas. He said fans should basically take nothing from the preseason games. He mentioned how in Brady Quinn's rookie season Quinn started the fourth preseason game and he drove right down the field for a TD and everyone was super excited. Joe the pointed out that the opponent played basic Cover 2 defense the entire drive, which basically gives the short middle throws to the offense, and the defense never adjusted to take that throw away because it was preseason. Nothing really for the QB to adjust to, just look in the same general area of the field for the relatively easy completion. Not saying Darnold or any of the rookie QBs will flame out like Brady Quinn, but just the efficiency/stats/performance/everything is pretty meaningless in preseason. There are warning signs to look out for of course. For example, hospitality tents. ? Edit: But the hyping and excitement and doomsdaying and arguing is why this is fun entertainment, so let's carry on.

He’s going through progression lightning quick, showing great pocket awareness, poise, spitting out West Coast Offense terminology well, getting in and out of the huddle well,making good decisions. i’m not worried about stats, i’m looking beyond a casual watcher’s perspective.

Patriot Killa Posted August 17, 2018 Share Posted August 17, 2018 (edited) Final thing i’m going to say about the redskins game.. For those saying that Darnold "stunk" - which of his plays were actually bad? - The INT was definitely a bad play. I think he just didn't see the underneath guy - which is the kind of mistake that good experienced QBs don't make. I'd like to see the all-22 to see what his other options were. But that was probably the worst play he's made in a pre-season game (with the 2nd worst being the near-INT from game 1). - Early on, that throw-away play - that wasn't a good play, but it was a good decision. I don't know about you, but I've often found myself screaming at our clueless QBs to throw the ball away (when it's not 3rd or 4th down). He showed situational awareness, and didn't try to do too much. - For the "dink and dunk" complaints. To me, dink and dunk is take a 7 step drop, scan the field, and then check down to your running back because you don'tthink you can throw anyone open. That's what Chaddid. If instead you take a 3 to 5 step drop, make a quick decision, and gain 5 to 10 yards - well, that's the play design, executed well. Plus - how was he on 3rd down conversions? I don't know the stat, but I think it was a very high conversion rate. The main dink and dunkthing that drives all of us crazy is the 5 yard completion on 3rd and 7. But did that happen? The only time I remember *that* happening was the play before theINT, when maybe Anderson ran his curl too short.

Darnold passes the eye test for me. Runs the offense efficiently, has a good presence about him that is essential for a QB, seems to read the field well, and does a nice job keeping calm and keeping his eyes upfield.
