Because it is about feeling pressure or getting the ball out over spinning into sacks or holding it too long or being unable to pick up blitzes.srv5490 wrote: Thu Sep 25, 2025 9:25 pm I think Darnold is an above average QB when he has good protection, but he looked terrible under pressure in the playoffs last year. I preferred Geno because I had no faith in the OL and thought he could handle the pressure better.
That said, I'm starting to question my logic regarding scrambling QBs. Minshew has much better legs than AOC, but he got sacked many more times last year (29 vs 10). Geno, also a better runner) is on about the same pace as Minshew. I'm not sure how that works.
Which is something Geno can't do, as seen by his 15 INTs last year. He has too much misplaced moxie.LayneStaley wrote: Thu Sep 25, 2025 7:59 pm Yeah he’s a game manager on a stacked team. Top 10 D, a Top 5 WR, 2 really good backs and a very improved offensive line. Not saying game managers are bad but the Hawks are just asking Sam not to lose the game.
Which is why we shouldn't have traded for a quarterback or hired a head coach that left there.Jeevo wrote: Thu Sep 25, 2025 7:19 pm They’ve won 28 games the last 3 years and have one losing season in the past 13. Well run team.
So don't hire a hc that's been successful or trade for a qb that's been successful?The Real CK wrote: Fri Sep 26, 2025 5:04 am Which is why we shouldn't have traded for a quarterback or hired a head coach that left there.
Raiders: trying to be the cleverest team in the room.
What the hell has Geno been successful at?Hellbound wrote: Fri Sep 26, 2025 6:33 am So don't hire a hc that's been successful or trade for a qb that's been successful?
Other than fleece the Raiders out of 75 Mil not much...oh my mistake that was his agent lol
47-50 overall record and 0-1 in the playoffs is the new successful i guess. Committed to mediocrity baby!pfish57 wrote: Fri Sep 26, 2025 6:53 am Other than fleece the Raiders out of 75 Mil not much...oh my mistake that was his agent lol
Was he not successful in Seattle?
And the dude you pounded the table for also has a losing record. Not sure what your point is here. We got a mediocre qb with a losing record and you pined for a mediocre qb with a losing record. Seems you're calling yourself out here too. Did you think this one out?BoKnows81 wrote: Fri Sep 26, 2025 7:45 am 47-50 overall record and 0-1 in the playoffs is the new successful i guess.

Did I ever f[raiders_icon]cking say Darnold was successful though? No I didn't. But he IS and WAS the better option than Geno whether you want to believe it or not. So don't twist shit like you always do. Your act is tired.Hellbound wrote: Fri Sep 26, 2025 8:00 am And the dude you pounded the table for also has a losing record. Not sure what your point is here.

Im not twisting shit. I asked if he and Caroll were successful in Seattle. You didn't answer that question at all and chose to turn shit into an argument. By the way since you are obviously oblivious to this, what you just stated is entirely an opinion. You're opinion doesn't turn anything into facts no matter how many caps lock words you use. But as usual you're acting like a toddler throwing a temper tantrum and causing arguments because someone posted something that you didn't agree with. Talk about someone's act getting tired.BoKnows81 wrote: Fri Sep 26, 2025 8:44 am Did I ever fcking say Darnold was successful though? No I didn't.
