OLIVES, green, black, but still the same.

darnold looked lost last night
- homiedclown

he looked beyond lost

I didn't think he looked good in the first game, either, to be honest.

Allen has looked much better in the small sample size that I have seen.

When it’s good, it’s really good

And when it’s bad, it’s still pretty good!

VARONE ON WAIVERS PICK HIM UP NOW

So is Matt Moulson, Jordan Nolan, Brian Flynn, TJ Brennan and Chris Butler. Oh, Buffalo.

1) i haven’t been using stat lines to show that Allen isn’t ready
You hear me say things like:
“He obviously can’t diagnose coverages & misses seeing wide open WRs on the regular bc of it”
“Allen can’t read when & where the blitz is coming from. And while it might look like the O-line is screwing up, in some instances it’s actually bc Allen didn’t see the blitz and adjust the protection scheme”

2) rookie QBs will have bad days... even ones who are “ready”
That’s where the learning on the job comes in
Now, i know, this is where ppl will say why isn’t Allen ready to learn on the job?
Eventually he would have to
But IN MY OPINION, he’s not there yet
And more film study & practice will help him learn how to diagnose blitzes & coverages better, so that when he is in there, he’s:
A) not getting killed
B) in a spot where he’s got a chance to actually play QB (instead of having to do QB sweeps to gain a few yards- like wtf?!)


You’ve gotta look deeper than the stat line
If u watch the games, you can see a CLEAR difference in Darnold & Allen
That doesn’t mean Darnold isn’t gonna make mistakes (lots of them)
Just like Peyton Manning made tons of mistakes as a rookie as well

Darnold is just at the point where i think he can learn from those mistakes

Allen doesn’t seem close to there yet to me
He just looks out of place & overwhelmed

6-21 says to me that he can't read a defense, probably running for his life and just flinging it because he can't read the front and shift protection.

You're the one not looking past the stat-line, the stat-line tells a story.

Stafford had 20 INTs in 10! games. That is not ready, I don't care how you want to cut it, and he turned out pretty damn good.

The point is you think it's detrimental to his development to make those mistakes, the majority of us don't. He's either going to be good, or he won't, it will have nothing to do with how he wasn't ready when he started. Plenty of good QBs weren't ready to go in as rookies and turned out great, and plenty didn't. If you have the luxury of having a guy play in front of him, great, but if you don't there's no reason not to play him if he's showing basic competency.

To me, Flynner seems like the least stinky turd in that poopoo platter.

Dreger on instigators says Nylander father is part of the problem in getting William signed in Toronto. That’s a bit worrisome
- Der Kaiser

He's a consummate pro, I wouldn't worry about it...

"Calling the situation, "unfortunate and unprecedented," the Oilers said general manager Kevin Lowe agreed on Sunday to a multi-year deal with Mike Gillis, Nylander's agent, who in turn confirmed in writing that an agreement had been reached.

Edmonton never received signed contracts from Nylander and Gillis and on Monday Washington general manager George McPhee announced that Nylander had agreed to a four-year deal with the Capitals, believed to be worth $19.5 million US."

I don't know who that is.

"Search Google for image" is your friend.

That way you don't look like an idiot, moron.
