To say his FLOOR is a QB who has been very good his past several years in Tennessee would be wrong. Tannehill has proven he can play good football with the right system/players. Darnold looks like he has so far this season, but to call a proven solid NFL QB his FLOOR is a stretch. If that’s his floor, meaning the absolute worst he can be, go ahead and extend him 5 years. Any decent staff can get a player to play above his FLOOR. We have already seen Darnold’s floor. It’s the Jets Darnold and he has already shown he can be much better than that. He also doesn’t have the arm talent for Rodgers to be his ceiling. Darnold has a gear arm, but Rodgers is just on another level.

Yep. We’ve seen his floor. Hopefully his floor here is much higher!

Can’t remember… I know they had Ringo that Doc really wanted to kill. Were they just called “cowboys?”

Russ with Sean Payton in NO would be a nightmare. Also Dallas would be fools to trade for him when they have Dak who us elite and still getting better…

I feel like DJax will get one soon…

Nah I just ran into him. Super nice guy! He is very high on our team.

Fine! Chuba was an afterthought anyway. I’ll call Rhule and tell him to play CMC…

Well I kind of have Chuba in fantasy, so I need to know… Stop playing games CMC!

I think other teams were going to trade for him so we had to make a move…

Erving and Elf’s contract scream stop gap starters. They know they aren’t the answer, but there weren’t many other options. Slater looks like a miss, but the jury is still out on him. We obviously value CB very highly (maybe too high) and Horn’s athletic ability is off the chart. They wanted a “can’t miss” prospect at 8 and Sewell and Horn were the top options. Slater was moved around the line throughout his college career and had one really good season at LT. Hindsight is 20/20 and if we knew we could get Henderson and Gilmore for next to nothing and Slater was going to start off so well, we might have drafted Slater over Horn. Then you have to wonder if we win our first three games with DJax and no one else at CB…

2-3 (if you count LS or not) of our 10 picks were spent on OL. None were worth the 8th pick not named Sewell and we got 1st round talent in Marshall with our 2nd pick. The next pick was Christensen and a couple later Brown, and Fletcher. We didn’t ignore it, but drafted BPA in the first 2 rounds and then worked on needs, which offensive line was clearly seen as one. Our draft was fine we got a potential shut down CB, 3rd WR than will develop into a 2 or 1, starting TE, backup RB, rotational DT in Nixon, potential slot WR in Smith, and Christensen and Brown can develop into starters. You can’t ask for a better draft IMO. We were just a team with a lot of needs that couldn’t all be addressed.

Jenkins hasn’t played as stated. Our staff wasn’t high on Slater playing tackle so we don’t draft him at 8. Who exactly did you want and with what pick? It will mean losing players like Tremble, Marshall, Chuba, etc that were picked in the 2nd or acquired through trading down. It’s easy for us to say they should have drafted this or that but the opportunity has to exist and there will be a trade off. Our staff can’t revamp an entire roster/depth in 2 offseasons.

He will trade anyone for a fresh spring salad or some cucumber water…

What can we get for Gooby or that crazy PJ Walker poster?

We drafted a 3rd rounder. I’m glad we didn’t get Leatherwood earlier. He looks awful in Oakland.

The only Chinn we need is Jeremy!

That Patriots game got more interesting…

Honestly I have mixed feelings about this (age and price for contract), but a 6th for a one year rental (at worst) is fine by me. It also keeps Tampa from signing him. Also I had mixed feelings about the Darnold trade, so I might just sit back and see what happens…

Watch him ball out, get tagged and flipped for a 2nd rounder next year.

I don’t see Christensen as a LT. Maybe LG… I think Moton at LT (gotta protect Darnold’s blindside) Christensen at RT, and either try Erving at LG or give Brown a chance. Paradis is going to be the weakest link though…

Haters gonna hate…

I’m surprised they couldn’t find a trade partner…

The Jimmy Clausen look did trigger me a bit. I think I have some Fanhood PTSD from that year….

This thread was fine and backed with data and started off stating “he has far exceeded my expectations.” He is a young QB and has areas to grow as all young QBs do. The die hard Darnold protectors are just as annoying as the Darnold haters. He has played great and should get better as the year progresses. He (like most players) has areas to improve. For example, Burns isn’t the best at run defense and Chinn struggles sometimes in coverage. These are things we as fans can discuss and analyze. Everyone relax we are 3-1!
