  1. He played six seasons in Miami, not two.
  2. What happened after that for Tannehill? I mean, since we're not cherry picking...
  3. The good ones still find a way to look good. Mayfield has had four head coaches in three seasons. He still went 6-7 as a rookie throwing for 3700 yards and 27 TDs in 11 starts with his head coach being fired mid-season. The good ones find a way to look good themselves even when the situation is a dumpster fire.
  4. Darnold has more physical talent but Teddy is the far smarter QB. If you could combine the best assets of both you'd have an elite NFL QB, unfortunately alone they're both trash. Sorry.
  5. Tannehill had two 4000+ yard seasons in Miami and another just shy of 4000. Darnold barely cracked 3000 once. He threw for 2200 yards, 9 TDs and 11 INTs last year. He wasn't just the worst starting QB in the NFL, he was the worst by miles. Him working out here would be an all-time career rebound.
  6. Yeah, at least it won't be boring. If he's as bad as I expect we'll be in the mix for a Howell or Rattler next year.
  7. I don't really care about his college tape. His NFL tape has been atrocious. When your only selling point after three years is raw physical ability... well, you're officially a bust. Very few bounce back from it. The David Carr pathway is the norm. Hopefully Darnold can tap into his potential here but history says it's a long shot.
  8. I always hedged my bets with Herbert though that it very well may have been the system he was in. I always said he had the physical tools. Those coaches treated him with kid gloves and now their starting QB is transferring, probably because of that same approach. Darnold has been atrocious. Yeah, he's been in a bad situation but he was a big contributor to that bad situation.
  9. Fully expecting this move to predicably be a disaster. Hoping I'm wrong but I'm not gonna sit here and do mental gymanstics to try to convince myself it's a smart move.
  10. This is sooooo reminiscent of the hope last year when we signed Teddy and it's largely the same crew getting duped again.
  11. Foolish is getting out-negotiated into trading three picks for a guy literally no one else wanted. The Jets had that Rosen trade in mind because they knew they were holding similar trash.
  12. All I want are smart moves. This is just like the Teddy move. We're acquiring a trash QB hoping desperately that he won't be trash for us. These moves usually turn out predictably. History isn't on our side here.
  13. Talk to me in '22 when we're short a 2nd and 4th still looking at QBs.
  14. I strongly disagree with this. Less trade compensation would absolutely make the predicable a lot more palatable.
  15. Sorry man, but when the team makes poo moves I guess I'm gonna have poo takes. I'm not gonna sugarcoat my opinion with fan colored glasses.
  16. Hell, I hope you're right. I just think there's a very slim chance things play out that way.
  17. Three draft picks for a guy literally no one else wanted. Brutal.
  18. So you think Darnold is gone before we even send the 2nd rounder to the Jets? And you're still happy about this move? Weird, but okay.
  19. That's what happens when you're 10-22 combined over the last two seasons and only one winning season out of the past five. Bro, we suck. We've sucked for awhile. We're making dumb, borderline desperate moves. It doesn't look good.
  20. It's already ugly. We're just grasping at straws on how it might if all the stars align somehow end up not being ugly. It's a long shot. If we end up passing on a QB to draft an OT to "build around Darnold"... oh wee mayne. I'll just hope I'm wrong and it ends up working out but fully expecting that this will be the beginning of the end of the Rhule experiment.
  21. Meanwhile, we keep spending valuable cap space and now draft assets on long shot options at QB.
  22. If this ends up predictably and we end up dumpster diving at QB again next year, I might hit fandom free agency. I'm not gonna resign myself to being a fan of the new Browns.
  23. I tried to tell y'all how Teddy would end up. If we made smart moves I'd celebrate them but I'm not gonna do mental gymanstics to try to convince myself that bad moves are smart moves.
  24. fuging brutal. Bidding against ourselves. Again.
  25. I think we're likely in the 5-7 win range. You know, right where we currently are. Sucky but not quite sucky enough to be in a position to land a franchise QB prospect. Low end mediocrity seems to be our goal.
