  Same ol' Sam?

Big games have always been an achilles heal (see 2024)

Sam Darnold's QBR against the Rams yesterday was 45.6 in a loss for the Seahawks. He was 29 of 44 passes for 279 yards, but his performance was marred by four interceptions and no touchdowns.

  Jets' QB Fields benched

Not surprising....to anyone. He's only 26 years old. I wonder if he might get a sniff for KOC U next year?

Jets are making the expected QB change, switching to Tyrod Taylor from Justin Fields, per sources, as @DMRussini reported.

  Bright spot: Dallas Turner

I thought Turner played a helluva game yesterday. Definitely played better than I envisioned he would.

ESPN sources: Falcons QB Michael Penix suffered a potentially season-ending knee injury during Sunday’s loss to the Panthers. Penix will be seeking a second opinion, but it is not encouraging.

Another guy the jury is out on.....needs more games.

  So here's why I'm worried about JJ....
Posted by: StickierBuns - 11-17-2025, 11:10 AM - Forum: The Longship - Replies (82)

He had a 'great week' of practice according to KOC....that didn't translate to the field. Then KOC said in his presser after the game we have to get 'back to the things he did in practice this week', referencing that JJ's practices aren't necessarily making him better on the field. JJ got booed for the first time and he deserved it. His biggest f-ing stinkers have been at U.S. Bank stadium. His footwork is atrocious. He's thinking way too much and too long. Its all young QB shit, but he desperately needs a 'there it is' game for not only himself, but his teammates and the fans. The narrative would have been a little different if Minnesota held on and won that game. Not a ton, but certainly different mentally for everyone. That kickoff return was so f-ing gross and such a gut punch. 3 guys on the return team got out of their lanes and fucked the whole thing up. Just brutal.

JJ needs to pitch and catch with the boys, get that completion percentage up and save the big boy throws (which he has in his arsenal) for important moments sprinkled in. He played like ass and then in the most stressful and important time of a football game, took it all the way down the field for a go-ahead score with 50 seconds left. He has 'it'. But if he can't complete the easy passes, he's not going to make it. He needs to hit the bread and butter throws. The problem is he understood that last week....and the week prior....and here we are still. Its only been 5 games, but he's got to start the incremental improvements NOW with the easier throws. Because that is mental. IMO, something is going to click for him....and when it does, he'll make those improvements.

  QB Considerations for this Evening
Posted by: Zanary - 11-16-2025, 11:10 PM - Forum: The Longship - Replies (1)

After wading though a ridiculous amount of lava-esque hatred for our young signal caller, I went looking for some perspective.

So...JJM, today: 

16/32, 150, 1 TD, 2 INT

Caleb: 16/32 193, no TDs/INTs

Sam Darnold: 29/44 279, 0 TDs, 4 INTs

Goff (as I type this, halfway through 4th quarter): 13/29 228, 1 TD and 1 INT

Hurts: 14/28 135, 0 TD/INT


Now...yes, many QBs had great games today, but as we have all the whining for Darnold, how Goff is considered top QB of the NFCN, Hurts is a defending champion and playing the same Lions we did just two weeks ago...

...seriously, JJM didn't set any new "lows", today, and had some unfortunate contributions from typically reliable receivers.

  JJ McCarthy

That was an all time Vikings stinker qb performance out there today.  He's sailing balls high, wide, then when he's on target there is so much heat on them that guys can't hold on.  Even KOC abandoned the pass-happy bit and had us run the ball which actually got us back into a game against a really weak Bears team.

JJM had touch on his passes for the first time all day on that last 2-minute drive for the go-ahead score.  Which begs the question where was it before that?  Is it just a mental issue?  And if so, what is the alleged qb-whisperer coach doing that his top 10 drafted qb is already a head case after just 5 games?  Or was he a head case to begin with and we drafted the wrong guy.

Regardless, this was really ugly, coming back in a game you frankly didn't deserve to win then somehow giving it away on a kick return to setup a f.g.
