I said from the beginning it appears he was their 3rd choice. That one writer wrote an article saying how we were in contact with the Jets GM for a while and we’re always high on Darnold. This makes it seem more like they didn’t even know who he really was until the offseason. Maybe the truth is somewhere in between?

Yeah that makes sense. Our staff should have been aware of his ability though and inquired about a QB struggling 3 years with a team that has one of the top picks. The writer just kind of makes it sound like we stumbled into this deal after failing to get two other choices. I don’t necessarily think that’s the case.

It kind of makes it sound like he was their 3rd option (mentioned Stafford and Watson couldn’t materialize) and a bit of an afterthought to me. Don’t get me wrong he looks the part, but they seemed caught off guard almost and his tape while looking at another player’s tape. I mean he was a top 5 pick and a starter for three years. I would think someone on this staff would have known about his ability considering their expressed need of moving on from Teddy. I agree with most people on here that’s it all mental with him and he seems very coachable.

In comparing Darnold to Lock, both have had small flashes but struggled in the league. The good news is Darnold had waaaaay less talent around him. I think it was more of neither franchise being that high on Fields or Jones than anything else..

Man you have too many witnesses to go into straight up denial. We all are wrong sometimes. It happens. When called out you can accept it or pull a Shaggy…

I doubt he has anything of significance… He needs to go back to listening to the MyPillow guy talk about this August takeover. Oh wait it’s September already??

So he quoted a one shot rate vs a two shot? Move on my man. Don’t let it take up anymore time in your head.

Newspapers. Still a form of media. They also trusted their health professionals. Q Anon would have trouble surviving without internet/social media.

It’s just crazy how all these “free thinkers” happen to align 100% with one group of people. If it was free honest thinking from non partial, reliable sources that wouldn’t be the case…

Disinformation is becoming our most dangerous problem. People keep posting baseless nonsense like it’s the facts and it has to stop. It’s one of the main reasons we are in this situation.

Not that there was ever any doubt….

It’s way out of context. He was talking about tying to learn NE’s complicated playbook in a short offseason.

He just pulled that comment out of his ass.

The good news is IF Darnold has a solid year, Brady will be a hot candidate for head coach and we can bump Sean Ryan to OC to keep some familiarity for Darnold. I’m actually satisfied with most of our staff from the GM to the QB coach right now.

And what if he fumbles every snap?

Where is his pic?

I mean this “make him play” poo is dumb. If he REALLY wants no part of it and they are forcing him to play (which seems ridiculous) then all he has to do is start throwing picks or fumbling snaps. I mean come on. They can’t MAKE him play a sport. If the legal poo dies down he may decide it’s in HIS best interest to play and play well. That however is a different story…. OP has a weird fetish involving rich owners forcing players to perform. It’s a dying formula… GB tried that with Rodgers and had to have an emergency meeting with stakeholders, rework his contract (where now they may get NOTHING for him next year) and have him involved in franchise decisions like bringing in Cobb. Julio just asked for a trade and got it. Watt just asked to be released and was. Teams don’t want players on their roster who don’t want to be there. It terrible for the team morale and the locker room. Houston is holding their cards close hoping the legal poo gets settled so they can get a king’s random for Watson. It’s not a terrible decision really…

Starting QBs who want no part of the organization while also upsetting a large portion of the fanbase. What could possibly go wrong?! Glad this guy isn’t running any organizations…

You don’t even think he is starting? Why are you asking everyone who the starter is? It just bothers you that even a player in legal trouble with little leverage has some pull on say on how he plays vs what the owners want.

It’s Tyrod Taylor with Mills the rookie backing him up. https://www.espn.com/nfl/team/depth/_/name/hou

Why would they force a player to play who refuses to play? That would be a terrible move. Would you want him leading your huddle? Is he really going to run the offense they way the staff wants? What are they going to do if he doesn’t?

That Saints D better not expose anything!
