Im withholding my final judgement until I see more games with Darnold playing decently well, but another OL and top WR might be a better move right now if we can’t get a top QB prospect.

Is his jersey folded a bit in the middle?

I’m not a Darnold fan, but these WRs and plays aren’t helping him.

They’re not playing with as much intensity as Seattle. They’re soft.

Entering the chat for the first time today… Crazy how much more intensity the sea chickens play with vs how we play. Also….is Burns playing today?

He’s intriguing, but would be a guy that won’t really play until his 3rd year. He just needs a lot of work. I don’t know if Tep and the fans are that patient.

HA!

That’s all true, but Baker could barely get the ball pas the LOS here. He was slinging it and looking like a NFL QB last night. That is a drastic turn around just by the eye test. IMO…that’s all on coaching and knowing how to use a player and adjust.

Here’s the thing…even if you are a ‘defensive’ guy at HC, you still need abilities on the other side of the ball. See McDermot. Wilks clearly doesn’t have those abilities. That’s a bad situation when your team is desperate for a QB. The guy isn’t even a great DC. Above average at best. He’s a good leader, but he’s not an X’s and O’s guy who can get players playing above their individual abilities.

Id agree with you IF Fitt hired Rhule. He didn’t, so that’s not on him. This is Tepper’s failure.

It’s not slander if it’s true.

It is just one game, but if it continues this will be the narrative.

McAdoo is done. I can’t think of a bigger embarrassment for an OC.

Playing better than he ever played here. Tepper needs to take notice.

“Look what I just posted on the Huddle!”

Baker looked about as good as Russel Wilson.

You do that when the other person isn’t speaking to you. Last ditch effort.

Man, the guy rarely leaves his house now because of mental issues, pain and discomfort. Brutal.

Probably more click-bait than anything of substance but we’ll see what happens. “An investigation is simply an inquiry and should not create any inference that wrongdoing has been committed by any party,” Tolson and Brackett said in a joint statement. “We will work together to ensure that all relevant information is gathered so that a fair and just outcome can be reached.”

CTE

He looked fine in the locker room vids. He might be out next week but nothing more serious than that.

I don’t want Wilks but 2-3 more wins against bad teams will probably be enough for Tepper.

Yup. Finding that elite QB was always going to be luck. It always is. I really think we’ll be in QB purgatory for a long time. Most teams are.

What’s funny is Seattle is gonna to end up with their top 5 pick.

Yeah, Seattle may trade their Broncos pick as well. I just hope Tepper and Fitt look at the mistakes they’ve made (Sam and Baker) and the mistakes they would have made (Russel, Watson) and are going to be more cautious about throwing picks away.
