Undefeated without Russ…

Sam played good for Sam. Unfortunately Sam’s good is very pedestrian for your average starting QB. Our offense was just bad…

He watched it through his Sam Darnold Fan Club glasses. Our red zone offense sucked and Sam was slow processing, but that’s just normal for him. DJ made a great catch on his TD.

That’s a good approach. Some like finding your QB then building around him and his strengths. There are several ways to do it, but we have been passing on drafting a QB for too long. I have nothing against Levis, probably prefer AR, but both have some elite traits and need a good bit of coaching/development. Most QBs struggle their rookie year anyway, so year 2/3 is when you load up IMO.

Our OL is decent (yeah they had a bad game today, but overall young and solid). If we draft a TE with one of our 2nd round picks and extend Bozeman we aren’t too far off IMO. Do we need an elite WR? Sure, but we can make do with DJ, TMJ, a cheap vet, and a committee behind them. Let our new HC and QB get their feet wet and then load up around the QB the following offseason when our cap is cleared up. It’s a decent path forward IMO.

I think we are saying different things but possibly agreeing. I think our current staff is terrible. However, if we get the right group of coaches I don’t think we are a terrible landing spot for a rookie QB.

Just shows how much of a difference a new HC can make. Hopefully we will get one of those this offseason.

It’s too premature. Just depends on how our staff looks next year. I think we are bringing in a new HC, but even if we keep Wilks, McAdoo is gone.

It’s painfully obvious we need a new OC as well. On a side note, is Higgins hurt or something? He is nothing special, but is a vet WR who was shown he can get open…

Yeah we can beat bad teams that can’t stop the run, and that’s about it. We need a new QB and OC without a doubt.

He is around 55% (right around Josh Allen’s college stats) with poo around him. The bowl game shines a light on how bad the team was AR was playing on. The fact that Florida only puts up 3 points against a PAC 12 defense shows how much he carried that offense as bland as it was. Now if they actually centered the offense around his strengths it could have been a decent year for their offense. I think it absolutely helps his draft stock.

If anyone can it’s 28-3 Matty Ice….

Lol he wants to draft a QB better than Cam former MVP

Didn’t Burrow’s class have Herbert?

Because they settled…. I don’t think you know how this works. No action WITH RESPECT to the payment, they settled on a huge sum of money to not take further action.

Somewhere Sizzle is crying…

It’s all a matter of opinion. I’ve seen AR ranked as the 3rd QB. Which 4 do you have 1st round grades on?

That’s why we need a new staff.

Your only specialty is terrible takes on your posts.....

I can't believe so many posters are AGAINST drafting a 1st round QB. QB has been an issue for a while now and we can't just count on mid/late round diamonds or converting someone else's outcasts. We aren't smarter than all the other teams in the league. Just draft one we like and try to actually develop him. We have solid OL now which is a nice first step.

I definitely included Wilks staying as an option. Even pointed out how he was pissed his last team didn't draft the QB he wanted. He clearly wants to pick out his QB after getting screwed by Arizona. If you think a new HC values anything over a QB then you are mistaken. QB is the most important position in sports and it's not close. We have been needing one since Cam left. The IR situation is bad for Corral because it never allowed him to prove himself to our franchise. If he came in this year and played well or showed promise we would be having a much different conversation... Your point was Fitt picked Corral (which you made an assumption) and therefore Corral could be our guy going forward. That would imply the GM forcing his pick on whoever the HC is (Wilks or new HC). That's definitely not a attractive look for a franchise.... Also if a new HC brings HIS QB with him that is just as bad for Corral as us drafting one. I have nothing against Corral, but he is the victim of some unfortunate circumstances right now. Maybe he will be the guy going forward, but odds are it's probably someone else. Either a newly signed QB or newly drafted one.

So you are assuming Fitt made the trade for Corral and not Rhule? That's fine. Are they going to push this 3rd round IRed rookie on the new HC or let him pick his own guy? I mean logically which one do you REALLY think we are going to do when trying to lure a HC here or trying to extend Wilks. Wilks for example is still pissed Arizona forced Rosen on him instead of Allen who he wanted and Rosen was a 1st round pick...

Like you and Burns?? How did your Darnold spill go the other day?? He is a Panthers so I will cheer for Burns especially now that we are winning games with him. I hope Burns balls out and takes us to the Super Bowl! Does that not work for him?? Is is just a weird Darnold thing you have going on?
