All I know is if he ends up here and if the fans get fuged due to his legal issues and what was given up, every single fan of this team will (and should) be furious with Tepper and want him gone. Of course I cannot think he would possibly be that stupid and a lot of stipulations would be in place.

He played second/third stringers…is not to like.

Lol just get a job dude

One of the best legs I have ever seen but just can’t get his accuracy down. For the record Slye’s first two years are on par with the first two years of some of the best kickers in the league. It’s matter of if he can get it together or not and if anyone wants to give home the chance and more importantly the time which is a huge ask/risk for the kicker position. I think we need someone more reliable even if they have absolutely no chance at making a 60 yarder.

I agree 10-11 wins easy if we play other teams’ second stringers like tonight

you might get poo for that but it’s the truth. however a small amount of hope remains in that it is extremely hard to judge a qb on this team with the mini traffic cones we call the oline

It was pretty bad, there was a lot of pressure playing vs. backups. I honestly have no answer as to why they put a bottom third oline out there year after year when no one has gone in the deep plays for literally decades with that.

The oline is just atrocious year after year and nothing happens. Darnold hasn’t looked better than TB. Defense looks legit. This looks like a repeat of last season + 1-2 more wins.

I am not impressed. Honestly, this looks a lot like last years’ offense. Lord help us.

I loathe players when it all of a sudden ‘clicks’ come payday. Hurney fell for it every single time. The Panthers have been fuged royally for year due to this reason.

i see you left out year 4 where we had 7 wins…DoOm N GlOoMerz11!

A gunslinger, meaning he just lobs the ball up. I added true to that as that is his (only) plus aka as said, arm strength. He is a prototypical gun slinger. Just let’s it go and has his receivers fight for it. Kind of reminds me of a poor man’s Winston. And I can’t think of many successful QBs with that style. Marino, Favre…Stafford maybe….

Just spoke with a hardcore Denver fan the other day, they’re all over in Utah. He said the same thing. Lock just bombed it and is a true gunslinger but that’s about it and his accuracy was horrible. To the point he was just lobbing it up all the time. Broncos are very heavily defensive minded and pretty much expect the defense to win their games. I personally think the Broncos know they’re in rebuild mode with the offense, in which case what’s really the harm in letting TB play.

i read it as we are in fact hiding a secret weapon

Maybe it’s time to reflect and realize you’re only reading what you want to read. No one on this forum has high/unrealistic expectations for Darnold. Most people post they’ll be ecstatic for 7/8 wins and mainly base that on the team as a whole being better and Darnold being average. And if it started and ended with the QB the Texans would have more than 4 wins last year.

$$$

Ehhhhhhh kind of tired of this song and dance yet again. Granted Hurney just said it and did the exact opposite in letting players walk. But he didn’t exactly sign FAs either since he overpaid the wrong players. Being skilled in FA is just as important as the draft. I’d rather hear something like we’ll sign the best player no matter where they come from.

I’m not sure what to think of this tbh. Because if we sign DJ for what he’s worth…that’s a poo ton of money to the WR position. Course we’ll have twenty million in one LB so why not lol

Lol…of course I personally like PFF. All metrics have flaws. The curious thing is anyone who bitches about it on this forum for some reason can’t seem to point to a better source or metric I’m still waiting for that better source with perfect metrics as for the topic I think at his worst he’ll be solid depth. Just an opinion because preseasons means jack, but this is good

I didn’t think it’d bother me but I realized I really do prefer a real field. Aside from cost, is there a benefit of turf?

Franchise QBs don’t grow on trees. It’ll take time. That said if Fields shows out and Darnold flops that’s strike 2 in my opinion. After that (year 4) shouldn’t take much to be shown the door. If this team doesn’t have a winning season this year or next I’d seriously consider moving on. In the mean time I hope a good team is built and the next qb is plug and play. It’s just as success of a blueprint.

Uh the season hasn’t begun bro. Tf you talking about preseason is not a sample size lol there are some legit doom and gloomers here but seriously, recognizing the above does not qualify

Because the main position responsible for protecting him is probably the worst position group on the entire team (and has been for a while now)? I’d question whether they’re coddling the oline. Not even worthy to protect the starting qb in a preseason game. But honestly who knows. Maybe it’s just the way Rhule does things. And really I don’t care, cause it won’t matter. He’s got 17 games…he’ll either look good or we move on.
