Wow! Who even needs to watch the guys play when you can just link their comparative stats? Amazing analysis sir!

The Watson ship has sailed.

Eh.....I think we will see about that. Perhaps it has but I suspect that situation is pretty fluid. I understand the "insiders" are hearing that but nothing stays static in the NFL.

Twenty two accusations getting resolved before the draft would take a miracle.

I can bet you it did not.  The only way that ship has sailed if NFL will find something.  It’s a civil suit and the whole thing seems like an attention grab to keep Watson in Houston and make other teams not to trade for him (you already bought what attorney is selling).

You do not need to resolve 22 accusations.  You just need to prove attorney is full of poo.

Even if there were zero accusations, I don't think it was a given that this was going to happen before the draft.

That's the thing, the way this all went down I am waiting to see the overall result and not gonna go off into the weeds of whether he is guilty or not. Let that all get sorted out.

We all go way too overboard on jumping to assume people are guilty based on information streams with partial information, at best. Not to mention how much salacious BS gets blasted by the media and/or the legal system. 

I doubt you see him moved for a while, but I don't expect to see him play in Houston this coming season.

Let’s not derail this topic with Watson crap. The Tinderbox is where that belongs. This thread is about Sam Donaldson.... wait?

It's something about the Darnold situation that makes me think he could do very well outside of the Jets. If Rhule, Brady and Fit could really get a good feel for his game and see if there is something to bring to us. Then go and get him for somethibg reasonable say a 3rd and then look what we could build with our 1st and 2nd. That is maybe a dream scenario but it would really go a long way to our future success. If there is nothing there so be it but really  do an in depth due diligence

What am i missing here? What’s Darnold done in college or in the pros to make u ever get excited about him possibly leading our Panthers?

I don’t understand any of this “trade for Darnold” talk...closest thing I hope we ever get to Darnold is Dan Arnold

Yeah because Teddy got a fair shot with his o-line and he did have the best rb in davis huh, but even robbie did better with Teddy.

All I'm saying is a move like that is the old regime. Fitz to WAS way of thinking.

Either Watson for the low now or crash and burn with our own drafted QB. 

But on a sidenote he better than z.wilson...

 

Teddy had maybe the best three receiver lineup in the entire NFL and couldn’t eclipse 4000 passing yards. We saw his best season last year. That was it...

I don’t think anyone in the NFL thinks that we’ve seen the best of Darnold yet bc Gase is such a disaster. 
 

Flipping a 3rd for Darnold as a backup to not getting Watson imo is maybe as good or better plan to trading a treasure trove for a top 3 pick. Unless coaches think his problems just aren’t repairable.

Darnold did enough in college to make him a top draft pick.

Mind you, so did Jamarcus Russell and Ryan Leaf.

At the pro level, you have to hope he's another Ryan Tannehill, someone that can look better once he's in a better system.

Is he?

I'm not so sure.

He threw 57 TDs in two years of college (only one year I believe as full time starter) in a pro style offense against top competition...where he isn’t running RPOs, spreading the field with wide open shots all day long. 
 

His numbers basically mirrored Luck coming out of college...and he has the physical tools to go with it. Build a stout OL and give him some weapons in Brady’s system....you have a potential star.
