I wanted to keep Grier. As hapless as he looked last year, he clearly outplayed PJ in the preseason. I mean, Grier isn't a legit fallback plan either but if we're choosing between the two, Grier was the better looking QB.

Yep. People got mad at me for pointing this out. If we hadn't panicked and stayed patient we would've ended up getting Darnold for significantly less because no one else wanted him. Considering that, the Jets absolutely robbed us blind in that trade. Darnold's true market value was probably a mid-round pick. We should've gotten him for a 4th rounder, maybe an extra late rounder thrown in to sweeten the pot.

That's giving up on next year. Sam ain't it. And yes, I said from the get go that going all in on Darnold was idiotic. Wanna trade for him and see if you can fix him? Okay (well, not okay since is said this was gonna be a disaster from the get go but whatever). But you HAVE to have a sold fallback plan. PJ Walker is NOT that.

Yep. Burrow's final season was unreal, but to be fair, so was the talent surrounding him. That wasn't the case with Cam.

Mine would've been Minshew, but at this point I think we gotta just eat it and tank. Try to run the ball and limit Sam's ability to hurt us. Mainly one read/half field read play action based pass plays. Which is what a lot of people are currently complaining about. The offense has looked elementary because it is. It has to be.

Sam does have the talent but he doesn't have it between the ears. When his presnap read is good and he can hit his first read he looks really good. But when he has to come off his first read and start processing on the fly it all falls apart for him. I don't think that can be fixed. You either have it or you don't.

I'd put Manziel there too. Johnny Football was pure entertainment.

People have forgotten. That Auburn team was either barely ranked or just outside of the top 25 in the preseason that year. They weren't a great team. Cam Superman'd that team to a national championship.

AJ Green blew it. What in the hell was he doing? That Cardinals fanbase should be deeply embarrassed about tonight. They had a 7-0 team playing on primetime national TV and they let their team basically okay a road game at home. Yikes.

There's just so many injuries every TNF game. It can't just be a coincidence. Playing after just four days' rest has to make you significantly more prone to injury.

Gutsy call to go on 4th and 3. Ultimately worked out.

This Arizona OL has played like poo tonight. Is GB's DL THIS good?

Nah. Then again, I'm used to 8000' in CO type cold so it pretty much never gets cold here. LOL! My fire pit in CO was a lot bigger because it had to be to keep the beer from freezing.

Finally got my deck finished. Since my football teams suck, I guess this is a good one to christen it. I'll ultimately go with a bigger TV but I had this 40" laying around and I wanna see how well it survives outside before shelling out money for a bigger one.

If you're gonna get a 15 yard facemask penalty, that's how you get your money's worth. LOL!

Kickoff in 15 minutes.

Are we employing one of Hurney's time honored tactics? "Yeah, we sucked BUT... look at all these guys on IR!"

I've thoroughly analyzed the situation and I've determined that we fuging suck.

Brian Head is right there. Cedar City to Brian Head is barely over half an hour. They average nearly 400 inches of snow a year.

Unless it's QB or OL, no thanks.

I'm not mad at Darnold. He is what he is. It's 100% the fault of the decision makers who somehow convinced themselves that he was something different.

Tom Petty wrote a song about it.

You got Brian Head right there though. Funny, I feel the opposite about Utah. I couldn't do the Provo through Ogden stretch but southern Utah is awesome.

This is the second former NFL QB breaking down film pointing out that Sam Darnold is messing up the absolute simplest of things. Simms here is basically suggesting what I have been for awhile - Brady is drastically dialing back his offense because of the QB. Teddy was very physically limited, but he didn't require a coloring book for a playbook and that's why the overall offense was considerably better last year. We haven't actually seen Brady's offense yet because we haven't had a QB yet.
