Thank you for sharing this, legit had no idea Tarik went through all that. Prayers up for him what a tough dude with a big heart. I hope he gets signed, I would be happy with him here. I can’t imagine losing a brother let alone two and then one getting serious brain damage.

Hell I’d take Derek Anderson at this point and I’m taking this poo serious.

Bro come on not Derek Anderson 

Is our team so amazing that we could truly compete with a true game manager at qb? We both know any other QB trade/signing is just Rhule tryna save his ass, let’s roll with our group heck we just drafted a first round talented QB according to our guys.

Sunk cost my dude. Tepper should well know that you don't hold onto a bad investment.

Except that there's actually zero evidence that investment knowledge has translated to the world of football and plenty to the contrary.

Very true man we really just had to pickup his 5th year option. Personally I see no reason to cut Sam, just let him play out his option year and let him walk. I am actually very optimistic about this team our Oline could actually be decent looking at who we signed this is gonna be a real ground n proud offense with a really solid defense. Last year we gave up such bad field positioning every drive to our defense. My hot take is we make the wildcard in the weak NFC.

I honestly think it was just the NFL getting film on him in this offense. Once they got the limited offense dialed in and could take away his first read, Sam was cooked. People are knocking Brady and he got scapegoated but our offense changed dramatically going from Teddy to Sam. Teddy was limited in his ability to physically deliver but Sam was limited on his ability to mentally process. The latter proved even more limiting to the overall offense than the former. We were basically running a high school offense last year because it's all Sam could grasp.

I genuinely agree our offense was so limited and Sam can definitely take a large portion of the blame for that. But, our offensive gameplan was also limited because no QB in our offense had any time in the pocket so we couldn’t throw the ball deep heck or even medium. Teams knew Sam struggles with pressure and just blitzed his ass all day and with CMC out our first read was not often a good option. Honestly Sam is probably one of the worst QBS under pressure I’ve watched, he’s 95% never going to be anything more then a backup. But there is a perfect situation where our oline holds up and CMC is his first read just like for the first 3 weeks last year. Let’s make Sam look good and get something of value in return of him.

This is a question I have for everyone, if Corall was on the team last year with his current skill set would he have been our best QB?

What did Sam average after his first four games and the NFL got some tape on him in our offense? His stats are significantly skewed by his first four games that were pretty good.

I agree with you but the drop in production could be on some level linked to the loss of Paradis then Erving/Eflein on the oline. Then Darnold’s shoulder injury, I digress im not a Darnold truther I just could see a situation where with a better OC/oline that he proves himself enough for another team to sign him next offseason and net us some sort of comp pick. Then Corall gets a year to learn the system and he gets his oppurtunity, or if Darnold is really poo again we draft a rookie next draft and have a QB competition.

Y'all Darnold supporters need to explain Joe Burrow then. Year one, gets his leg ripped off. Year two, takes the most sacks in the league. Also year two, takes his team to the Super Bowl. Why is Darnold not playing like Burrow is, though they are in similar situations protection wise?

Solid point, just shows the difference between a franchise QB and whatever Darnold is. One counter argument is coaching, as Burrow has a legit offensive head coach in Zac Taylor calling plays vs us with a college football passing coordinator and then Rhules college roomate at OC calling plays.

How can people buy into this myth? Go back and watch Darnold. A lot of his worst play comes when he has good protection and time to survey the field. He plays well when his first read is open or when he's forced to dump it off to his checkdown due to immediate pressure. Sam with time to survey the field against decent coverage is usually a recipe for disaster. Better protection isn't going to fix his issues. He just doesn't see the field like a QB needs to.

Dude I was posing a hypothetical situation I legit said imagine, I by no means am saying he will breakout but to act like it’s impossible is just as wrong. Not even trying to be a homer I’m just posing that there is a situation where Darnold shows enough for another team where they would sign him to a deal netting us in return a comp pick. Also I think his tendencies to rush reads and force throws is 10x worse when he faces consistent pressure, like his pocket presence with pressure is poo but non pressured throws he is probably around the 25th best qb in the league. 

I’d be happy with the 20th ranked pass blocking team but damn that’s shocking I was not expecting 9th. If we’re actually a good pass blocking team I’d be so curious to see how Darnold actually looks. Imagine Darnold looks good, ik everyone wants to get rid of him but man he could at the very least net us a 3rd round comp pick if he signs a solid contract elsewhere.

Paying a player 40 million yearly with serious uncertainty’s if he’s even gonna play this year, while also giving away all our future assets? fug no Watson went 4-12 his last year playing. Do you really think he would make us a contender? I’d rather keep throwing darts and having the potential to create a dynasty then possibly make the wildcard.

We lost our leading pass rusher and our best, most experienced CB and yet a middling defense is going to be #1? 

Getting Horn back will help but we're thin at DE and LB. Borderline top 10 would be a good showing IMO.

Gilmore was traded here mid season and played the entire season partially injured. He played well in the small amount of snaps, but the return of Horn far out weighs the loss of Gilmore.

Solid depth outside of MLB and DE. Sign Clowney and I think we have a top ten defense easily, this is a potential top 5 defense. We are such a young team and every year that passes we develop further.

Clowney is one of the most over hyped, over rated NFL prospects and players the past twenty years if not of all time. Sort of like Zion in a way that they developed this like cult following and got clicks thru social media. 
 

Where he attended high school or college has absolutely nothing to do with this. He is a JAG and would bring nothing to the team. 

Literally such a bad take lmfao. With your logic Burns was a JAG last year as they had the same amount of sacks while Clowney is also a great run defender. Man if anything Clowney is underrated nowadays. Would be a great signing bring ‘em home!

I’d offer Shi a pot brownie for every KR/PR that he takes to the crib this year.

Throw in some LSD/Handguns and we got ourselves an All Pro returner!!

My last concern is Pjs roster spot right now, and I highly doubt it’s anyone else’s besides Pj himself.

Can’t get mad at a nice hog molly pick up. I like this a lot!

Elite speed! Great developmental DE, your looking for traits this late in the draft and oh man does this kid have traits!

I fuging love this pick! Has the highest ceiling of any of these LB’s, Troy Anderson went day 2 and we got the same if not better type of athlete in day 3. Let’s go frittergoat!

Love this pick, also love that we didn’t trade any future picks. I love pick swaps to trade up!!

The fact we drafted a second string long snapper over Trey Smith still haunts me to this day. 
 

We traded both our 5th round picks this draft for the 4th we took Smith with and they also give us a 6th this draft.

Solid pick, freak athlete at LB. If we can teach him to tackle more consistently then I really like this pick.

I could see Charlie Kolar.
