Matt Ryan didn't take a real leap until his third season.

Passers can take as long as 6-8 seasons to peak. As long as he isn't melting down and singlehandedly losing games I'm willing to be patient with him.

Sam Darnold is younger than Joe Burrow.  We absolutely have to be patient with him.

The game will slow down for him, especially with better protection.

^that breakdown was better than I thought it would look.

What’s frustrating is that Darnold has games where he looked like absolute garbage (Pats and Jax) and games where he looked amazing (Dal, Was, Oak). I know. He’s 22.

Darnold will be fine. Looking forward to seeing him back in a familiar offense for an off season and start a season the way he finished the first two.

[CatoTheElder]

Darnold will be fine if we can build some protection in front of him.

[Laxin]

He ended last year with a solid 4 game stretch, and ended this year with a solid 8 game stretch. Hopefully next year he can put together the majority of the season.

Hopefully we can get Darnold some new weapons around him.

I'm excited about having 2 solid tight ends be has a rapport with. And hopefully upgrading on Bell and Anderson. I really hope we bring DT back, I think that was Gase's best personnel move

If I weren't increasingly convinced that you're a full on parody account, I would call this damning with faint praise.

Is rather have DT than AJ Green and his melting ankle.

He's been a good pickup.

He's old and declining and didn't actually play for the last month. I think we can live just fine without his 36 catches for 400 yards and 1 TD.

The fact that his play stood out, just goes to show how freaking terrible our offense was this year.

Our WR group cannot be the same next year. We need upgrades to help Sam take a step forward.

I love Darnold, but he makes some absolutely awful decisions at times. The numbers lie a bit too. He has had INTs called back on penalties and a few that were easy picks that the defenders dropped.

It's a good thing he has such a great QB whisperer to help him improve.

if we're playing that game, the worst throw he made all year (the pick in the red zone in the Dolphins game) should've never happened considering Griffin scored the play before and the refs inexplicably overturned it.
