I hope, for his sake, that this is the case. It doesn't fully explain how frozen and frantic he was, but it at least helps protect him a bit as a person and a pro. Gives him a shot to keep playing ball.
Man, I can't say it anymore than that first play shows. WR screen left. Jefferson is open. And Darnold stands around and takes a sack...while looking right!
It's like calling HB screen in Madden and thinking the real play call is the deep shot on the other side. It's a level of bad QBing that simply defies explanation.
My understanding is that one must first score a "touchdown". I'm unfamiliar with this concept however. I'm assured these elusive "touchdowns" are good.
I was never fully sold, but the dropoff last week was stunning. The fact that he didn't revert at all back to the guy we saw this season is still a little surprising.
I made a big deal bout how 90% of last week was on him. I'm not backing down from that. It's there again tonight.
