The second-year quarterback did some good things, some bad things, and had an unfortunate, unwanted visit to the medical tent for a concussion check. Dart threw a beautiful 15-yard touchdown pass to Fields. That was an improvised scramble play with Dart moving to his left, the kind of unscripted play on which Dart excels. Dart found his new favorite target, Isaiah Likely, for two first downs. On the negative side, Dart took two sacks. The first one bothered me more than the big hit he took on the second one because it appeared to be his fault.

Dart shows scramble-play upside but repeats sack issues; needs to improve decision-making.

The second-year quarterback showed mixed results in the preseason opener. On the positive side, Dart threw a beautiful 15-yard touchdown pass to Malachi Fields on an improvised scramble play moving left, the kind of unscripted play on which he excels, and found Isaiah Likely for two first downs. On the negative side, Dart took two sacks, with the first appearing to be his fault as he had an opportunity to throw but chose not to, holding the ball and running himself into the sack. This mirrors his tendency from last season when he led the league in sacks with the quarterback being at least partially responsible, an area he needs to improve.
