Of course I'd take Sam Darnold now. Would I take year 2 Sam Darnold? Hell no

 

Yes, improving at QB can take time 

 

I'm pretty sure most reasonable people around here are of the opinion that Cam now is a decent distance ahead of year 2 Sam Darnold. Or maybe not... who the hell knows? I get the feeling some just want to be contrary and the first one on the block to say "told ya so". Which naturally taints any half-cocked take.

Safety will be a big watch on the waiver wire, I think Eric Hallett will be named on the initial 53 but he could be a placeholder if they can find an upgrade.

I was pretty out on Darnold until @IrishTitansFan told me he was making huge strides and really coming on. What a call out. 

Lol I remember having a real sicko summer and watching Panther all 22 on gamepass because I found that QB room interesting, he was way better than Baker that year

 

Funny enough I think he’s probably overrated now in a lot of ways because his best performances came late

At worst I am hoping the team has a slow start but starts fully figuring it out by second half of the season.

To absolutely no surprise PK said on his podcast today that they (Borgonzi and his front office) are actively looking for an OT on the upcoming waiver wire after cutdowns around the league.

It's too early to panic but the mechanics/footwork/accuracy issues that keep on popping up with Ward were obvious pre-draft and always made his ceiling debatable.  Off script wow plays are nice but the best QB's can play consistently from the structure of the offense.  

 

He got a pass from 2025 because the coaching staff was completely inept but he'll need to show some real growth once the games start for real.  The leash on these top draft pick QB's isn't 5 years like with Pineapple Tebow or retard VY.

Not too sure we can judge his footwork in preseason. He clearly was just being sloppy because he knows it’s preseason. Once the games that matter begin he will obviously have the best footwork going, since the games matter now.

I'd be concerned if he thinks he's earned the right to be sloppy in preseason because he's accomplished nothing of note so far.  

 

The far more likely reality is that he has footwork/mechanics issues just like he did as a rookie and in college.  The scary thing is that the examples of guys who fix that while in the NFL are extremely rare.  Hopefully he's one of the few and Daboll and Tierney can fix it.

I was making fun of OS’s absolutist stance that zero can be taken from PS.

LOL. Young 8-22 for 101 yards and the Titans win 31-13.

[BudsOilers]

Henry has 143 yards and a long TD and Pacman had a punt return TD.....

 

Nothing tops the Jags game that year when they won with 3 defensive/ST TD's and the one offensive scoring drive was setup by a long kick return and they lost yardage on the drive to settle for a FG.  They had 98 yards of total offense and were 0-8 on 3rd down.  But VY was a winner!

I see - good can always be taken with a grain of salt.  Bad is always concerning because you're typically not game planning and in the Titans case they've been playing their one's versus everyone's backups.
