SC runs a shotgun pro. Kinda reminds me of Miami's offensive under Marino.

Darnold will go under center during big sets and throws from those sets. I don't see being under center as an issue for him as he steps up in the pocket and is generally unphased by inside pressure.

That's the reason I asked because I could've sworn I've seen him pass from under center.

Those wins are for fans of neither team.... If you're overly invested (like myself)... no, those games suck... approaching 40, that game took a year off my life.

Unreal? On passes past 5 yards he threw as many bad passes as good ones. His ball placement is sloppy. He threw a out 5 balls that's picked in the pros. Look at his passes to the RBs out of the backfield. He has happy feet in the pocket.



Look at his passes against ND over 7 yards most aren't his 1st reads and he went I counted 4-11 and most of those passes were HORRIBLE



How many yards did he leave on the field with poor ball placement versus Washington?




And BTW don't recall seeing alot of plays under center

Umm so your saying he is bad? Cause some of those "bad ball placements" were because of where the defender was and he didn't want to get his player killed. You are really nitpicking over some minor issues so I'm just gonna guess you hate USC.
No I don't hate him. I actually don't mind him. Think he is a good QB. but he's not unreal or clear cut best QB in this class.

The same negatives other top QBs are receiving are easily applied to Darnold. Especially the shotgun, air raid nonsense.

At this point in time next years class is going to be something.

You ask 5 GMs/HCs and you may get 5 different answers.

I'm seeing everyone has their own qualifications they like in A QB.

Mine is 1. Accuracy 2. Ball placement 3. Decision making

Others like RPMs. Some like type of offense etc.....

While I LOVE Darnolds decision-making. He's not on par with 2 other candidates in the other 2 categories IMO.

But I wouldn't be MAD if we took Darnold. He just wouldn't be my 1st choice is all.

I prefer Rosen over the other QBs. But it's hard to deny that Darnold is pretty special. I get annoyed with his happy feet even when he still has a pocket. I get angry with both QBs with the while getting sacked they try and throw the ball still...and Rosen negative is his attitude while Darnold has the ideal attitude for a QB. So while I prefer Rosen I'd still be happier than a pig in poop if we got Darnold.

Jets fans and Brown fans have one huge difference between them. One deserves their franchise leadership and the other doesn't.
