But he also says Cousins isn't the problem, in fact he's a 'cut above' Mayfield (who ranked higher than Cousins in 2018 and 2020). Why would you be offended that a team wouldn't want to trade picks away for Cousins and his $45M cap hit?

Cleveland did only pass like 28-30 times a game, it was kinda run a lot but don't be conservative when you do pass. In a lot of his mic'd ups he's always bragging about his hand offs, which is a joke and also Darnold actually kinda sucks at them for real

Basically really good run blocking. Their tackles were injured most of the year so they had scrubs out there against edge rushers in pass pro. Anyways this Vikings guy can suck it.

That is peak July NFL desperation. Not much going on with the Vikings this offseason I guess

He thought Taysom Hill was gonna get it done. If the Saints hadn't gotten Brees and lucked out with some draft picks this wouldn't be a conversation

Clausen numbers Darnold after week 4: 55.4 completion percentage TD-INT 4-10

Yeah spending all those years under Mike McCarthy only to find out that Rodgers can win with any scrub coaching staff hasn't really helped either of them in the long run.

Hopefully it's some kind of Baker curse and he gets Rhule fired this year

Towards the middle of the year last year it may as well have been Nathan Peterman out there. People forget how dire things were before the Cam signing cam along for the FO to purposefully distract/pique interest.

Balboni's interviews are always pretty good. Here he mentions he already knows Campen, Higgins, Corbett, prepared/threw DJ for the combine, has known CMC since 2015.

I would add that he mentioned he already knows Campen's O-line terminology/protections so that's half the battle really. Now it's just translating the playbook.

Thought I heard that. On the one hand it's not a good thing for owners to get involved at that level, on the other no one trusts Rhules personnel decisions after last year so maybe that's a situation where Tepper will side with Fitt and McAdoo if Rhule is being stubborn.

Youtube is great because you can pause/rewind/FF

Pretty sure there's a lot of us that are just waiting for the Rhule era to end, and think Baker will be a more entertaining 1 year experiment than watching Darnold shrug his way through another season. Hopefully Corral can actually develop during whatever this year is, the whole staff may be gone next year despite the Jay-Z plan. I'm still of the belief you can be a fan of the team and hate current staff/ownership, most older franchises are the same way. Fans always outlast whatever rich dickheads come in and fug things up for years until they go away

One issue is the QB coach and McAdoo trying to teach all 3 guys a new offense/verbiage at the same time. Corral naturally will probably take a little longer with actual play calling and probably won't get the attention/reps he needs for a while.

I'm pretty sure Darnold wants to be a future bench warmer for a couple million a year for another 5-10 years. The new Charlie Whitehurst

He's 66, don't think much is gonna change up stairs for him at this point. Wilks is a good secondary coach but when he was DC he just blitzed like 80% of the time right?

They were ranked around 10th in the league heading into week 17. In fantasy they were like 27th in actual willing to gamble on them preventing points or forcing turnovers, which is pretty much the goal of defense, not limiting a particular amount of yards or whatever stats people like to throw out there

He ranked 12th in 2018 and 11th in 2020 after the seasons so 15 is a pretty fair starting point. Could swing 5 spots up or 10 spots down under this staff.

I had no idea Walter football was such a nut job looking at his Twitter replies. I think his site is best left to keeping track of available free agents, everything else has turned kinda childish

Darnold not even on the list ouch. I guess they kept it to 1 qb per team for these rankings

Would you expect anything else coming out of strict mormon ideals? You can't have a beard but can have like 20 baby momma's.

Well he's a complete 180 from Darnold, which will at least be entertaining television

Maybe he'll go as far as a 4 qb system this year to really get the opposing teams heads spinning

It was a horrible contract for sure. Wouldn't have mattered last year if he was here either way and now we have like 15 WR's on the squad. Baker is gonna want/need Higgins on the field especially early in the year with not much offseason time to acclimate to everyone
