Im fine with Brocks armstrength - can it be a lot better ? Of course, its his weakness. But for like 85% of the throws its not needed.
Im fine with Brock being Jimmy+ with mobility and more command of the offense. I dont think people realize how much more dangerous his mobility and pocket movement helps the team
When CMC came in, even Jimmy looked better than average. We have some crazy YAC monsters in Deebo Kittle and CMC. And BA is no slouch there either.
We really needed a QB who could execute Shannys concepts and get it to open guys, and when things arent open, improvise. Brock can be that guy at the minimum salary.
Brock has two things that are elite- Jimmy only had one, his release. Brock has short area burst which is elite , and also eye manipulation of defenders which is insane for him being a rookie.
Darnold has far greater arm talent, but his football iq is in the negative. God help us if Darnold needs to become a starter for a few games. That guy is the worst type of
there is. He doesnt have Favre or Cutler arm talent but thinks he does and makes unexplainable, unneeded throws.
