Mr. Scot

You've seriously gone off the rails on this topic dude. I've already said it's possible he won't be good here, but I'm hopeful that he will. What is it about that position that pisses you off so much?

It's certainly possible, but I'd need a better source than Walter Football before I'd be willing to take it too seriously.

Dude, the only person acting butthurt and defensive on this is you. You're absolutely dead set on the idea that Darnold is a bust and no good can possibly come of this. Fine, but some of us are either cautiously optimistic or at least just willing to wait and see what happens. No idea why that seems to offend you, but it does. Believe it or not, there does exist the possibility that you might be wrong.

Also a salary cap update...

He did play several minutes in another game and looked awful.

Consistently? No. But sometimes you have to. Being unwilling to take that kind of chance is what makes you a Teddy Bridgewater.

Did I say you were the one doing that?

Unfortunately, so is making a pronouncement about how good or bad a player is going to be based on their first play in preseason. It's stupid, but people continue to do it. And I'm sure this year will be no exception.

If we're having any discussion like that early in the season, we're probably being premature.

Assuming that he can't improve in a new situation with better coaching and support is kind of short-sighted too though. You don't know that.

Self-awareness is a good thing. Some folks have too much ego to tell themselves the truth.

Likely also an example of Ron's loyalty hurting his results. Eric Washington wasn't ready, but rather than move on, he tried to cover for him.

To be fair, as far downfield as his route was, he probably wasn't expecting it to be thrown to him at all

Jackson... Wonder what people's first question will be (the answer's in the clip)

It's what you get when you have fans who care more about saying it first or staying it the loudest than about actually having an informed, well thought out opinion. (thank you so very much, sports talk radio)

OTC or Spotrac? Which do you like better and why?

First "acclimatization". Now this?

Same.

You want me to answer that question honestly?

I'd go with this one.

Or "acclimating"

I generally like Ron as a person but he's 100% full of bullsh-t with that comment.
