@PurpleNavigator We literally just had a national outlet publish an article talking about him being a locker room problem and how he’s immature because he griddied into the end zone in the cowboys game.
I get there’s some vocal fans who need to be realistic, but the overwhelming majority
@minnylogic True, but JJ leading the league in ADOT by a 1.5 yard margin through his first 5 starts did.
There’s blame on both sides, we should talk about both.
@prestonjrcpl@Traveyhando Or they ran it more because that takes the load off of a young QB who played better in what was actually just a normal NFL offense that didn’t try to lead the league in ADot by a full 2 yard margin.
@AnthonyBarr I agree with some parts of this and disagree with others. Agreed that’s results are very important and that you can’t really know what the coach is instructing. I only disagree in that when you look at PFF, you should evaluate the grade with that in mind, not ignore the grade.
@PurpleNavigator I don’t see anything controversial about what @NolansTeamNow said. Not wanting to be in bad playoff team purgatory seems pretty reasonable.
@canedad19 I think this person is more referencing rooting for the team to lose in the short run for the better of the long run.
I don’t think it’s unfair, for example, to want your team to lose at the end of the season when they’re out of playoff contention, for a better draft pick.
@BuxTwin25@JC_7771111 I’ve not once argued for his durability. Still over those 5 games he graded well in the exact stat you referenced. You talked about his performance to open this.
@JoeA_NFL@RWeir7 I don’t think this response is justified at all @JoeA_NFL. He may disagree with your take but he’s not being a jerk at all. And maybe he just places more weight on the interceptions. There’s nothing wrong with a differing methodology.
@Tre939266812213@BuxTwin25 I think before the last 2 games of his season, a vast majority of the fanbase would’ve signed up for Darnold at 3/$105m.
I think that’s the toughest example because you came off of games where it looked like he couldn’t compete against playoff caliber defenses.
