Fitterer needed to call Douglas regardless. 
 

It’s good for Fitterer to know where they stand with Darnold and if that 2nd pick is for sale

Bingo.  And he needs to call Detroit and see what they want for Goff, since they pick before us.  If you have some idea of the asking price, you can possibly gauge what they are thinking.

Just now, Mr. Scot said:

It's been mentioned before, but "in on every deal" was always likely to include some that fans aren't gonna like.

i guess it’s better than the mid-late 2000s days when they wouldn’t touch any player on the trading block bc “we build through the draft”, “we have 21 of 22 starters returning from our 8-8 team last year”, “there’s no place in our offense for a TE that doesn’t have bricks for hands”, etc.

It's good to be involved in all of these QB situations. Think about how many times over the years under Marty we'd hear about some player we wanted getting traded for way less than we could have offered, or better trades that we didn't even show interest in. 

Also, it's a great way to find out who else is involved and what kind of capital they're playing with. I think about what Rhule said about the GM interview process...how he would have paid for the information he got from all of those interviews. They're collecting data, and I love it.

What do we know about Darnold?  He was good in college, has struggled for 3 years in NY.  Threw too many interceptions, but when you are one-dimensional, always playing from behind, passing is tougher. He will be 24, and he is on a first-round rookie contract for 1 more season.

So what would he do with a better coach, OL, running game, and defense? 

Better. 

Is better enough?

I wouldn't even offer them a half eaten ham sandwich for Goff.

I looked it up and he threw 26 TDs and 13 INTs in 14 games in his last year at USC including 2 INTs in each of the first 3 games. For his career at USC he had 22 INTs in 27 games (24 starts).

And playing for Gase cannot be understated. That man could turn a diamond into coal.

    • When they measure velocity they base it on an average of 3 throws, I think, could be 5. Each qb decides how he throws it. It's not taken from passes in a game. So basing on an "eye test" takes out bias. It's measured by a radar gun in a controlled environment. 
    • I think the long term is when this stuff pays off. You have to set it all up and get all the big dogs on the same page.  So if you have the right guy set it up, assigning all the values, you are ahead of the game and he seems to be the top guy. Figures Tepper would be attracted to having the Top analytics guy. Okay with me I guess. If they get to the point where I am mad they didn’t kick or go for it, it means they are doing okay. Cause I haven’t thought that mattered much for several years. 
    • Velocity MPH. Okay, that’s a number in isolation. what if CJ has a nice 85% effort motion that does what he is looking for? And Young has to step into things to get even 2 mph behind him?  I don’t KNOW that about either it is just an example of numbers don’t always tell all, but when I look at Young throw it reminds me of someone like Fran Tarkenton. A throwback non athletic weak armed scrambler for those of you who don’t remember. Had a great career in the old smaller slower but much meaner NFL. Would not today, IMO.  I think the arm strength questions, are plenty fair. And the eyeball test, it does mean something. Who would take Bryce Young over CJ Stroud or Richardson based on his arm? It is obvious to the naked eye where they stack up.
