Just think about that for a minute, they thought so much of Teddy that they paid another team to take him off their hands. Kinda derails the theory that the FO was all in on Teddy doesn't it? I still can't believe anyone thought that.

Yes. And he does not suffer fools. The fans that think they are all in on anyone beyond CMC are in for a rude awakening.

You can't make the team from the tub. Buy, we hardly knew you.

We still win.

How do you trade someone who never plays? Frigging Fritterer is a damn genius. If we get more than a ham sandwich he deserves GM of the year.

Well he didn't get what he asked for. Carry on...

Who?

Yes, find us that guy.

He never left.

You will never get some on here to believe that.

I'm down for this. Find a fat cigarette smoking dude that can kick it out of the stadium. I can see him sitting on the sidelines with the dline. It would be glorious.

It probably came down to opportunity. I'm sure they turned over every stone looking who was realistically available that fit whatever Brady has concocted for this offense. Honestly either option is a crap shoot as a place holder, which I think is the leash they have Darnold on. From what they are publicly saying about what Darnold cost them its been recouped. Even if you don't buy that and hold it cost a second it's no different than all the second round picks blown in the past. It was always going to cost a season to find out so either way its not a franchise breaker despite what the Fields worshipers will tell you. If he can just be better than Teddy he may get another year to audition for another contract. Otherwise he will follow Teddy out the door. Only we will be more battle tested when the draft rolls around. Which I can't wait for now since you know who that won't be named is exercised from the building. Dare I say that I feel better about the future of this team? Regardless of whether Darnold succeeds or flops the team as a whole is getting better. That in itself gives me hope.

Who cares? Why would anyone bring that drivel on here is beyond me. You can find stupid anywhere if you look hard enough. Most of the time it's obvious.

Spying for Panthers North. They are dead to me now.

I still say they should try the blindfold.

We have a few of those around here. Just sayin.

Can't dispute anything he said.

I meant that they thought that with Stafford on the team the could possibly contend last season meaning the 1st round pick surrendered would be a low first. That is not so bad. This season its Sam's turn to show he can be that guy. We are either drafting a QB or a LT in the first this coming draft, unless it's traded for one. Either way we should have a good idea which one or both is drafted by seasons end.

No he definitely understands, he just don't care.

I get the feeling they looked at that future first as a low first, which is essentially a second based on talent available most years. It was a ballsy gamble for a first year GM. Based on how they manipulated the last draft I do not doubt they had a plan to compensate for the loss of the pick.

3, but only the first two are essentially guaranteed.

Our plans for DJ are ultimately up to DJ. He balls out he gets paid. It's that simple. Whether it's us or someone else. I think we will be fine if it's not us. It's a good problem to have.

He would've been a better place holder to allow us to compete while they searched for a better option. They are still looking for that guy from what I can tell. I get the impression they think the odds are better to find a competent place holder than a franchise qb right now. The thinking would be that it will buy them time to develop someone. That's my perception any.

Believe it.

This should surprise no one.
