Darnold

[FrodosFinger]

Climbs the pocket and rifles in a TD

For the first time it seems. Been sayin all season, slide up slide up

 

[mikeak]

Also scores on a semi-jump throw

We cant celebrate that without accepting him doing it at times with picks being the result.....

seems he's more comfortable moving around and confident now. like a green light of "yeah move around if you want"

He had a couple moments like that last week, too. Helps when the OL does their job and escorts rushers past him properly.

 

[Smellyman]

Got his groove back

Serious Sam came out in the second half of this game and has looked GREAT. The turnovers have been a problem but there is no doubt he is a top QB in this league. One of the very best in the game. Period.

He’s gotta get out of his head at times. Or maybe it’s the play calling.

 

[GemCity]

It’s confusing. The first half Sam…yeck.

2nd half Sam? All-Pro.

Never judge a game by a halftime score they(Atlanta) started out with a good game plan but in a 4 quarter game this team is tough to beat

Difference is Tebow had absolutely no arm talent and Darnold does it out of pure excitement but yeah 50/50 on the results.

I'm hoping when the playoffs get here they have him run it a bit more. When he does run he shows he is definitely athletic and fast enough. He doesn't have to do it much, but it does help the run game a bit and gives them one more thing to worry about.

I think relaxed Sam came out - when he plays fearful he cognitively limits his possibilities. When he plays open to experience and not afraid of getting gang mauled (actually embracing it) he does much better.

No different than most other humans.
