  1. I just read a post stating that Henderson has only played about 20% of the defensive snaps. I know its early and he may yet develop into a good corner yet but looking at Arnold's play in Jacksonville, I can't help but think they made a mistake with the trade. Especially given how Darnold had already lost CM. Here are the two player's stats compared over the two games since the trade:

    Henderson: 6 tackles - that's it.

    Arnold: targeted 11 times, caught 7 (63% catch rate) for 94 yards. More importantly, 5 of those catches went for first downs. And for what it's worth, here are Anderson and Trembles' numbers during that same two game stretch: 34 targets, caught 14 ( 41% catch rate) for 128 yards with a total of 5 first downs. So basically Arnold is getting a 1st down almost half the time a pass is thrown his way while Anderson and Tremble get one every 10th pass. And if those numbers aren't bad enough, check out the article below:

    Again, it's early and hopefully Henderson works out but right now, I would love to have Arnold back.

    I should have known Arnold was trash by the way his agent was selling him during the negotiating process. 
     

    if someone has to sell you that hard then maybe you ain’t that good.

    Dang I didn't know you were at his negotiations. What else can you tell us?

    I don't see anything original in the questions raised above, that hasn't already been covered extensively on the Huddle.

    Pretty sure at this time of the year, just about every question is just going to a rehashed post/question as there's really nothing new to talk about.

    As far as click bait to his site, I personally don't have a problem with it but then I'm not on this site that much so wouldn't find it annoying.

    And finally, if you don't like the question/content, then just hit the back button and you can go back to looking for that original question.

    I’m sorry, but I like their chances way better for 2021. You’re a blind homer if you like our chances better. 

    I'm no homer I can assure you. I like how the FO was aggressive in addressing all the needs but like you state, the odds of everyone working out are very remote. That doesn't mean that we won't be a much improved team though and I do like our chances against them much better today than last year.

    Continuity is not always good? What could that possibly mean? 

    It means exactly that; it isn't always a good thing. I didn't never I said not always - there is a difference. Yeah they were good last year and, no doubt, will be again but I seriously doubt they were so good no changes were needed. There was a book that came out years ago call 'if it aint broke break it". Basically it preached to always challenge the status quo if you want to get better. So again, I don't believe continuity is always good.

    Some good reason to be optimistic but like they side, on paper. Hopefully, we are building to 2022. Tampa is going to be hard to catch with their ridiculous continuity. I hope this is a growth, figure out the final weak spots and maybe challenge for a playoff spot like 2014 when we got our OL together and made a run.

    Continuity is not always a good thing. Age WILL eventually get to Brady and everyone will be gunning for them this year. Needless to say they will still be good but I like our chances better after the FA signings and draft.

  7. My only concern with the draft is historically Seattle pretty much ignored the OL and it looks like we did the same thing in this draft. Seattle could get away with it given they have RW but SD is not RW. I seriously doubt SD would have any sort of success behind most of those Seattle OL's

    Do I think Darnold has a higher ceiling than Bridgewater? Yes, absolutely. However, I have seen nothing that leads me to believe that he is a Super Bowl caliber QB.

    And what have you seen to lead you to believe Fields is. The majority of all 1st rd QBs fail to become that SB caliber player so the odds of Fields becoming one are against you.
