We've still fuged up in the past going "BPA". We drafted Butler at DT and Shaq at LB when DT and LB were some of our biggest strengths of the roster. Butler was a flat out bust and Shaq was basically a JAG starter at LB. I know that triggers some folks, but sorry that's just the truth. We overdrafted him then doubled down on that and overpaid him.

We had two shots at #1. Hell, we had them on the roster at the same time. Darnold and Mayfield both.

You either 1- Get the right HC/System & QB combination 2- Get the top-tier HC 3 - Get the top-tier QB (All scenarios require a legit defense) We could've had option 1 or 2 with Darnold but Rhule was simply the wrong hire. Everything comes back to that. Everything since that disaster has been overcorrections or correcting those over-corrections. We're finally at a point where things have been reset enough to feel mostly past it, but it is hard to see the ramifications and what-ifs. Oof.

Oh, Bryce is ass too. Don't get me wrong. A lot of people are allowing our better than expected record and the good fortune of playing in a trash division delude them. And even with all of that, we still had to rely on the Bucs shitting the bed down the stretch.

This is not me coming at you so please dont take it that way. But I find it funny that Smith had a terrible season and in fact he absolutely did but his stats are comparable if not better than bryces. Its funny how bryce defenders are judging him

I meant O'Connell not MacDonald.

The NFL absolutely has preferred outcomes. Playoff viewership can swing pretty dramatically. But honestly, the Super Bowl is an entity of it's own. Doesn't matter who is there viewership is going to be massive. It's the biggest television event of the year and is way bigger than the game of football. It's a complete media spectacle and the football game itself has honestly almost become a background for it. The diehard football fans are tuning in for the game, but the spectacle itself is what draws the massive viewership and there's a lot of people watching that don't know their ass from their elbow when it comes to football. It's why I don't understand all the uproar from football fans about halftime acts. Guys, the halftime show isn't for you. They know that. They're not catering to you with it. You're watching anyway. The halftime act is to try to maximize the non-football audience. Let them enjoy it. Halftime for you is a break to grab some beers and wings. I can honestly only remember actually tuning in for one halftime show and that was the Dre/Snoop/Eminem year.

Sure there is. Because QBs like Geno are starting. You don't solve your problem by signing a problem. Young guys with potential upside are one thing. 35 year old journeymen coming off of a terrible season while still acting like an entitled ass are the ones you absolutely need to avoid.

I actually have confidence that having Brady in the building will slowly fix them. I think when he gets tired of broadcasting (which probably won’t be long) he will be heavily invested in the organizations day to day.

Sam made his turnaround here when we started running the ball and letting him use the Play Action at the end of the 2022 season. I think spending time with Shannahan and O’Connell helped him dial that in.

I hope the Raiders doesn't tank Mendoza's career. The dude has serious promise, but he can only do so much for as a dumpster fire organization with their massive limitations.

It might just be me, but I am detecting a sliver of sarcasm here.

There is a huge deficit on teams needing QBs vs starting caliber QBs available in the draft/FA. I think he could get a shot somewhere desperate like NYJ or Cleveland

There were a handful of QBs and we had our choice of them if we had not panicked and gave up so much for the worst pick out of the bunch.

I just came across this. I'm telling y'all Dallas has an monster boner for this guy. NO WAY he lasts until #19. It's silly to keep mocking him to the Panthers unless you have a trade ahead of the Cowgirls.

Seems like he’s going back to his natural persona which got him a broken jaw with the Jets. Yeah, I don’t think he’ll want to come here as a backup anyway

Geno is trash.

Darnold was never going to be the player he is now with Matt Rhule or Steve Wilks. But as has been stated repeatedly he always had all necessary physical tools to be a top 10 QB. Anyways between the two current teams in the Super Bowl the bigger whiff is not just waiting another year and drafting Drake Maye without giving up a ransom. We are in the position we are in because our owner was both impatient and desperate to win something in the eyes of the media. He made a big splash. The biggest he had yet. And it's been our biggest regret probably in franchise history. Now finally he is exercising patience but with the wrong guy. And there is a possibility we back our way into QB purgatory and sign him to a contract extension. Ultimately it all goes back to Tepper.

I don't see how. He's definitely on the decline and looked like complete ass this year playing for a coach and in a system he knew well. I'd rather take a chance kn a younger guy or a rookie in the draft than washed ass Geno.

That experience he gained with Shanahan and McDonald is what elevated Sam. You could see glimpses of it here but the coaching he received in SF and MIN are the difference.

It would have been nice to see what Dave could have done with Sam.

This team simply needs more blue chip talent which is why BPA is the only way to go. It’s the best way to sustain long term success

Darnold is a great example of how much coaching matters. If Tepper didnt swing his dick around and forced Rhule on us, we mightve gotten a better coaching staff and Darnold would be a better situation.Tepper just fuged everything up. From coaching staff decisions, to QB decisions. We are still dealing with his last fug up in Young.

Sam Darnold is still very much Sam Darnold. That's been evident all season long. The Seahawks simply are a better team than the Jets and Panthers were.
