In my opinion, when Rhule traded for Darnold, and was unwilling to draft either Fields or Jones, he essentially bet his future on a guy who had failed in NY. Darnold succeeding here was a longshot and a huge gamble on Rhule's part. A gamble he lost. Signing Cam was a move that had little chance of paying off, but it was low risk, so why not. But he has failed as well, and due to those failures, Rhule should be looking for another job after the season is over. Hopefully Tepper learned his lesson and hires an NFL coach. Preferably one who puts a staff in place to develop the qb that we should be drafting. It will be interesting to see if the new staff (and god I hope there is a new staff) signs Cam for another year to work in a new QB, or lets Darnold go out there and get beat up while the new guy holds a clipboard and they try to make the oline better.

Any? Trevor Siemian sure ain't succeeding.

All the receivers played well today. They just didn't get many opportunities.

The sad thing is that if we had even average play on the offensive side of the ball, we would have a decent shot at the division this year. Tampa has looked vulnerable the last few weeks, and with their receivers possibly out, we could beat them with a decent effort from the offense.

Well, it just got a little more likely. Brady picked off.

Wonder when Brady was last shut out. I don't think it will happen, especially when they get to four down territory, but its getting very close.

Why do people keep saying Trevor Lawrence is a franchise quarterback? He MIGHT be one eventually, but he certainly hasn't proven it yet.

Personally, even though I don't believe Cam's arm is close to what it once way, I am ok with keeping him for another year while we draft a qb and spend next year's other picks and free agent acquisitions rebuilding the oline. Cam can be a bridge to our next qb.

Sad but true.

No worries.

I agree. His short game is ok, and he can still run the ball. But his arm is every bit as weak as it was when we cut him. He just can't consistently throw it more than 15 or more yards with accuracy and hasn't been able to for a while.

Was it? In theory, we still had a shot to win the game with a td and a onside kick recovery. It was fourth down. Kicking a field goal there buys them nothing. Might as well try to throw it and get the first down which ends the game. I am sure the TD was just a bonus.

Well gotta go for it here. And that is ballgame.

I honestly thought he meant Darnold. CMC has played so little for us the last two years, don't really think about him anymore. But yeah, Abdullah is playing the CMC role.

DJ, Zylstra, and Robbie are having very good games today. If we could throw the ball more than 10-15 yards, they would both be approaching a hundred.

Our receivers have been open and playing well a good portion of the game, but bad throws and poor protection mean we can't get it to them beyond 10 or 15 yards. Our best pass play is throw it short and hope they run well.

Maybe they do, the jury is still way, way out on that.

I do hope the new coaching staff keeps Abdullah around.

Smart play would be to use the first and five to go deep. For us, its a two yard run up the middle.

Announcers talking about Game of Thrones got me to thinking. Which is worse, GOT ending or the Panthers in December?

Don't care about the draft pick, the whole tanking thing is rarely successful. It failed for the Jets last year, might have failed for Jacksonville, and it failed for the Falcons. But losing out improves our chances of getting rid of Rhule. That would be the best thing about it.

If we were in the middle of a playoff race, I would care. Since we are not, throw caution to the wind, go for two if we luck up and get a td, and just go for it on 4th down if we are in fg range.

People tend to read to much into these twitter comments. For all we know, could just mean a new restaurant she likes opened.

Don't know if that was the play call or qb decision, but throwing the deep ball there was foolish.

I would have tried to run the ball at least once there, in the hopes that the Chargers would forget to call a timeout
