    I posted before today's game I'd like to see him brought back at 5-8mil/year for 2-3 years with an out before the 3rd year. I also posted the best case scenario would be Darnold having his worst game of the season today so we could sign him on the lower end.

    I ended up not being able to watch live, but it looks like he certainly had his worst game. That doesn't scare me off too much since I don't think we wanted to win. So I'm still down with the 2 years, 5mil/year. I doubt we can get him for that but we'll see.

    Sam Darnold is now in the history books as having the 19th worst single game passer rating and after yesterday is also tied for the 9th worst passer rating. He is in the top 20 all time worst list TWICE. Yet you still want to give that man a free bag. GTFO.

    Wilks appears to be a decent chap, who also happens to be a capable motivator of young men.  He is clearly heads and shoulders above Matt Rhule when it comes to coaching in the NFL. 

    Having said all that, I'm skeptical of any coach that chooses to punt, rather than to attempt a first down, (twice) when the ball is near midfield with one yard to go.  This is especially true when the game, season and the coach's future job prospects are all on the line.  An ultra conservative approach, especially when Tom Brady is your opponent, isn't a game winning formula (shades of SB Atlanta Falcons).  Being risk adverse in critical moments (that often shift game momentum) simply doesn't bode well for the team's future playoff prospects. 

    Bottom line:  Hard pass on any coach that makes Ron Rivera look like a riverboat gambler.

    We need a pinned post feature for threads like this. This is the winner.

    I mean, Levis may still be on the board.  People are smoking something if they think Young or Stroud will be there at #9.  And no, they aren't worth the trade haul to move up into the top 3 picks.

    We may not think any of them are worth the trade up but the powers that be may have other plans. Whomever we draft that happens to be a QB I will accept it and support them until they give me a valid reason not to. All I ask for is a first round QB of our own that we drafted. I expect to very possibly swing and miss the first time I'm just gonna roll with it. We need to get a guy who can actually develop a QB too.

    None other than Anthony Richardson, against a mediocre Kentucky team.  The guy a lot of people are drooling over.  FYI, that wasn't his only stinker of a game either, just his worst.  This is not to defend Sam, but if people are going to drag one QB for a bad game (and it was) then I think it is silly to idolize a kid who is raw as heck and can completely shat the bed in some games too.

    Well lucky for us Anthony Richardson isn't the only QB who declared for the 2023 NFL draft huh?

    And I'm just saying but it's pretty damn disingenuous to compare a guy who has yet to even set foot on an NFL field to one who will be entering his 6th season in the league looking like trash.

    Who? Btw QBR came along from ESPN many years after passer rating was the main metric for decades. Sam Darnold had a game so bad he's neck and neck with a QB from the 1980's for one of the bottom ten passing performances ever.

    No need to apologize.  The memory is the first thing to go as we get older.

    Oh don't worry I'm already prepared for the standards of some to change completely when we draft a black quarterback again.

    Sam hasn’t yet mastered the art of running crisp routes, getting separation and catching his own throw.  Bad Sam.

    Jimmy Clausen never had a passer rating in the single digits but I don't recall anyone in a hurry to blame everyone for his suckage.

    Why are you angry at me because the team is ass? I had nothing to do with this mess. You are just an angry little man that is in a rage because I'm not upset.  Have fun with that.

    Angry? You quoted me parroting one of the excuses from the early days of the Matt Rhule regime but it's my fault? Okay thanks man have a lovely evening.

    I never said anything to the contrary.  I just said our wrs were covered all game, which is fact. You somehow took that as defending everything else. You seem to take offense to anyone that doesn't have outright contempt for Sam Darnold.  

    Ah so how dare anyone actually have standards and not keep blaming the WR's because the QB who is known for being awful and turning the ball over is awful and turns the ball over? Cool. Maybe we should bring in Andy Dalton in the offseason 👍

    Cope? Lighten up Francis.  I'm just pointing out a fact. I could care less either way. I profit none from it whether he plays well or not. 

    I think it's hilarious. I'm just just giving you the rundown of the numbers. Sam is the one laughing all the way to the bank at Scott Fitterer's expense 🤷‍♂️

    The announcers pointed it out all game. It's OK if Sam didn't completely suck ass.

    He did. One of the ten worst passer ratings in league history. Blame the receivers if it helps you cope I guess lol.

  12. I gave him a B due to the QB's he was given. But as far as a head coach goes he is another John Fox/Ron Rivera mold of head coach. The league has passed these coaches by years ago. The majority of the people who want him to be the head coach are led by emotions instead of logic because he has local roots. That doesn't make a successful head coach sorry.
