We have a pretty difficult schedule, but I still can't bring myself to be so negative this time of year. Some of you act like we haven't made any moves to improve at all. I am genuinely glad that I don't see what you see, because if I did, I just would skip football or start rooting for another franchise. Keep pounding and eventually the door will open. I'm looking forward to at least cracking it in 2022 with actual competitive play and nothing less than an eight win season.

In my opinion, hardcore fans of a team always have more understanding of the dynamics of their team than national talking heads. I'd rather have fans' perspectives any day of the week. Where the talking heads may have it over the fans is specific insider information (but you even have to take that with a grain of salt depending on the source).

Rhule played rookies that first year because he had to. Last year, he had a case of Rivera-itis and it was mainly due to injury why some rookies got so much time.

No one knows which questions are going to be on the Wonderlic, and at the end of the day it's obviously not that serious.

Corral has an extremely quick release, can make all the throws, has legit mobility, and has shown to be a legit playmaker off script. I certainly think that he can be decent, and if he can master the plays and protects the ball, I think he can be great. This isn't a case of playing against a bunch of nobodies, Corral had to compete in the SEC.

Well, you're probably right and Corral was full of it, though the Wonderlic still apparently misses the mark if you look at some of the QBs who scored similarly. https://fansided.com/2022/04/28/matt-corral-explains-wonderlic-test-nfl-draft/

Well actually he said he probably didn't fill it out right. If you skip one and don't come back to it, all the ones after it are counted wrong is what I read. That's a dumb way to grade a test.

So close, yet so far.

I know, but SLC is a stone's throw from mountains, and the only way to avoid them is by going south (or southwest) through the desert towards Nevada. Like you said, it's in a beautifully geographic area. I've driven I-15 from SLC to Vegas.

Yeah, I think it's a little preposterous to think that McAdoo isn't going to install at least some variation of his offense from the start, the training wheels will be pulled off in relatively short order. As a seasoned vet, Darnold is going to be expected to learn it, execute it, and ultimately master it by September. He better because Corral will be gunning for the job from the very beginning.

There's beauty in the desert also.

I rolled through there back in '97 on I-80. I was surprised that it had a smooth jazz radio station at the time. That spoke to me as it being a modern city. It's a beautiful city. As far as the NFL, it's a smaller market and the powers-that-be and general populace are not likely to support a taxpayer-funded stadium in any shape, fashion or form.

You realize that this has been a career thing? It's not just based off his time as a Panther. https://pantherswire.usatoday.com/2021/07/19/panthers-sam-darnold-red-zone-clean-pocket-numbers-troubling/

Well, to be fair, he sees ghosts.

So, basically you were just a hater from the beginning. That's all that means. Robby had a nice start to the 2020 season. Him not being as productive after the first five games spoke more to do with Teddy's chicken poo style of play than any coverage of Robby. I saw the games! I remember the analyst even reflecting upon how Bridgewater wasn't letting the ball loose at the right time to Anderson. The windows were there! It's no wonder that the first 5 weeks included Teddy's best YPA and AYPA save for maybe one to two more weeks out of the season depending upon what stat you're looking at. And, talk all the poo you want, Robby was still A Yards After Contact leader in 2020. And, your saying that he did nothing after 5 games is not quite correct (He had less than 500 yards).

I never hoped that Darnold sucked. Ever! I just realize that at some point, you have to move on. Based upon observation and 40+ years of watching, I've seen enough, and I'm not going to apologize for it.

I agree for everyone except San Jose (though it would seem like the 49ers would have it on lock). The city has enough TV market share and money to make things interesting.

Y'all and Matt Rhule, keep on talking that Darnold sh¡t! I know better. Corral will blow his ass out the water when the time comes. I've been trying to tell y'all that for months.

No one had any problem with Anderson until last season. No one was saying that he sucks, plays selfishly and throws his teammates under the bus or anything of the sort. The fact is is that he hasn't thrown anyone under the bus, not even Sam Darnold.

We'll know come September.

It was a pretty damned good draft considering the circumstances. We got my top two players notwithstanding that we began day two as simply spectators. Watching the QBs slide was ironically a beautiful thing for me as a Corral fan. That's why I stayed up even as the night was almost ending. I knew we wanted Corral, and we got him on the cheap as far as I'm concerned. I'm still of the opinion that folks don't realize what we have, and the beauty is that we didn't have to grossly overpay for it like we would've had for Watson and a proven vet. Building from the draft is the better way, especially when you're essentially broken financially and broken-spirited.

No. Just no. Robby was signed after an excellent year (and number of years to be fair). Yes, he had ONE sucky year, but let's not say anything that might break this now tiresome Huddle narrative.

Let the Browns pay all of it. They're not in a position to dictate. They got dictated to by Houston, and now they've got it twisted and think they can dictate terms based on Baker.
