Ladies and Gentlemen, the ghost of Rob Ford!

Yeah but that schedule also isn't looking quite as tough as it did a few weeks ago. Tampa, Buffalo and the Saints look fairly mortal. A massive portion of this is how our offense evolves with Cam. If we can be mid-level or better in the league, watch out. We now have a truly elite defense again.

I think that's the thing, in a 17 game season without any "real" expansion of the roster, he probably isn't gonna make the final roster. Reference the fact we cut down to only 2 roster QB's for this season. He may end up the odd man out, $18.8 mil or not.

I think there was obvious and building frustration about Sam during the last few press conferences. When that happened to Teddy, he was shown the door fairly quickly. I agree that you never can tell with this staff but it does seem like when they change their minds on a player, they get shown the door fairly quickly. I suspect they will try to move him and then they cut him towards camp as they find better backup options. To me that is why you cut your losses. It's impossible to trust him in games anymore, so what use is he?

Considering we have been around that 7th spot for a few weeks now, not sure that qualifies as bold. Also, can we maybe chill with this trend of random people on social media? Are in a forum where random people are making statements already. Why do we need screenshots of other randos making statements?

Hence why I roll my eyes at all the "Darnold is a nice guy!" comments here. I don't have any evidence that he isn't a nice guy, I have no reason to not believe he isn't a nice guy. But he is arguably the worst QB to ever play for this franchise and he directly lost us games this season. Directly and almost solely in some games. That's the truth. No amount of Matt Kalil being a nice guy and being able to get a hot wife will ever make me not angry at how fuging awful of a LT he was.

Yeah, I was pissed initially about dumping that 2nd round pick. Even more pissed now. This definitely wasn't Sean Gilbert trade bad but it might easily be the 2nd worst trade we have ever made.

That was my favorite part of the Bible thumping The Golden Calf of Bristol supporters. They refused to acknowledge his pride not allowing him to stay in the NFL. What is the old adage, "Pride comes before the fall?" Whoops.

I was very pessimistic about Darnold coming in but even I didn't think he would be this big of a fuging disaster. It is crazy how bad he is. If anything, this is the worst season in his career with no bottom in sight.

Yeah. Some of us knew this coming in but to see it live and in person....WOW. Can you imagine watching 3 years of that with the Jets? Especially if you were a shrewd Jets fan and could see it? Fuuuuck. I mean.....I don't really see the need to even add the qualifier that he is a nice guy. Matt Kalil seemed like a nice guy. So does Dennis Daley. If you suck, you just suck. It isn't any different than being at the workplace and having a co-worker that is atrocious at their job. So bad it makes everyone elses job harder and gets you all in trouble all the time. Doesn't matter how hard they try or how nice they are, eventually you all just want them gone.

I am not even saying he isn't racist, he is a Gator fan. But that didn't seem as racist as it was butthurt. He's pretty much throwing the book at him. Rumors, innuendos, just pure hatred. That's really usually more sports fan hatred than racist hatred, it's even less rational than racist hatred. Just my take but I have seen many a hate filled diatribe from butthurt sports fans before and that checks ALL the boxes of that.

He may be but that purely reads like a guy that watched a QB that got kicked off his team transfer and then end up at a conference rival with an undefeated season and national title. Sprinkle that with a healthy dollop of butthurt from watching Gator Jesus sink to 25th in the draft. I have spent a lot of time in SEC country(unfortunately) and their tears are pretty amazing to see/hear.

That has little to do with race, that is pure, unadulterated, butthurt Florida Gator fan.

How high are you exactly?

In your post you are talking about Sam as a rookie and him potentially being a long term guy for us. That isn't gonna happen. This may very well be the last stop in Sam Darnold's NFL career.

If you can't see it, none of us can make you see it. So, enjoy continuing to believe there is a Santa Claus.

It's a narrative that gets pushed but it is also completely untrue. His clean pocket stats are as bad or worse than his under pressure stats. Pressure isn't the big problem, his ability to understand and react to what he is seeing on the field is. That is why he isn't good backup material.

The problem is there isn't a backup QB in the NFL that has the issue seeing the field like he does. So that actually makes him what you don't want as a backup QB.

Yeah, there is no reason to cut him until him being on the roster is knocking someone off. If we don't have a 3rd QB, we could even kerp him for that.

If we can't somehow dump him in a trade, I would just cut him. He is taking up room on the roster and cannot help us even in the case of injury. It's just time to move on if he can't be moved.

Yeah, that makes sense. Not so much the narrative that we are intentionally hiding him to save face.

Well you could also just bench him.

Imagine coming on to a platform for bullshitting about various topics and then complaining about people bullshitting about various topics. Imagine that. How to tell me you are a hipster without telling me you are a hipster.

I don't know. He was watching Sam Darnold literally almost single handedly lose game after game but only out PJ in during an impossible scenario for a 4th quarter. Seems like he didn't much believe in PJ either.

I am inclined to agree on this. I do think that Tepper's mood probably had some impact. He may not have said anything explicit about making a change but I am sure he was in a foul mood at the office and Rhule could read the tea leaves on that.
