how many of you were a fan of Ryan Tannehill right after he left Miami?

 

anyone?

Tannehill was WAY better in Miami than Darnold has been in NY though. Tannehill just looked like he was gonna be stuck in that middle of the road tier starter category and Miami wanted to try to do better than that. Tannehill ended up in a much better situation and took a significant step forward. A significant step forward for Darnold would be getting to that middle of the road tier.

The Panthers are trading with the Jets. The deal has already been worked out. That's why the 49ers took Miami's 3rd. But it's not for Darnold, it's for the 2nd pick. It's a new age on Long Island. They are finally going to do the right the thing. Panthers will have pick 2 in the 2021 draft and Wilson is going to be our path to glory. Everyone get ready to be excited.

Jets aren't moving. So us trading for Darnold I guess. 

I would much rather have Darnold than Teddy. Unfortunately, the more days pass, the more I am convinced Bridgewater will be under center week one. It would really be a buzzkill for the season. I am clinging on to a shred of hope we can get Fields at 8.

I would trade Teddy for Darnold along with a 2022 1st, 2nd or 3rd round next year, meaning it's based on how Darnold performs. If Darnold comes in and puts up great numbers, I would give a 1st. If he does just good, a 2nd and if he's OK, a 3rd. The reason is the Jets have to take Teddy and his contract. That's worth something.

A trade for Darnold alone, then maybe a 3rd or 4th round pick, this or next year.

Thank God you're not a GM

Miami made the mistake of convincing themselves Tannehill was "middle of the road".  I don't think he'll ever be elite, but he is a QB you can win with.  He's a good QB.  Joining the Titans just made it obvious.

Darnold will never be that.  He doesn't have RT's arm or decision making.

Darnold has not shown that he can be consistent enough to win in the NFL.  Every QB can come in and make some throws once in a while ( even look at Rypien last season) but the guys who are consistent and don’t turn the ball over become starters.  
 

Sam Darnold is also not as athletic as Ryan Tannehill.  I get the career arc seems similar as Darnold is destined to join another team.  But when Tanny doesn’t have it teams still have to respect him going outside the pocket and taking off.  Darnold doesn’t have that part of his game to lean on when the passing game isn’t working.  You can try hiding him behind a great rushing attack like the Titans did with Tanny early on but at some point he’s gonna have to make some throws. 
 

I know everyone is eager to upgrade from Teddy, but Darnold isn’t an upgrade.  Teddy is just a better QB right now and that’s the truth.

Personally I'm not looking forward to Darnold if we get him. I don't see anything amazingly special and I have a feeling almost a sense of Teddy 2.0. I'd just rather roll with what we have and save the draft pick. Hell, let PJ or Will Grier play lots this season or see if a QB is there at 8 who has any potential or brain power to be developed. If you don't feel that way take a good offensive lineman or another too player at a position and see what happens this season while obviously playing for a higher draft pick and potential QB of future next season.

    • It's really bad and injuries make it worse but they also allowed this D to come into this year with these guys as the talent injection on a depleted roster? DT A’Shawn Robinson (agreed to terms on sign three-year, $22.5 million deal) LB Josey Jewell (signed three-year, $22.75 million deal) CB Dane Jackson (signed two-year, $8.5 million deal) OLB D.J. Wonnum (signed two-year, $12.5 million deal) OLB K’Lavon Chaisson (signed one-year, $5 million deal) S Jordan Fuller (signed one-year, $5.25 million deal) S Nick Scott (signed) OLB Jadeveon Clowney (signed to two-year, $20 million deal) With a draft class like this — Buffalo's first-rounder (No. 32 overall) — WR Xavier Legette — Indianapolis' second rounder (No. 46 overall) — RB Jonathon Brooks — New York Jets' third-rounder (No. 72 overall) — LB Trevin Wallace — Their own fourth-rounder (No. 101 overall) — TE Ja'Tavion Sanders — New York Jets' fifth-rounder (No. 157 overall) — CB Chau Smith-Wade — Buffalo's sixth-rounder (No. 200 overall) — DT Jaden Crumedy — Pittsburgh's seventh-rounder (No. 240 overall) — LB Michael Barrett Mike Jackson has been good thankfully and super early with little tape but Wallace showed some promise in a tough roll on Sunday. They weren't going to build a top D this year but they could have also done better than that. We lost freaking Luvu and I think Jackson is an upgrade over the old Jackson. Brown and Thompson were not going to save that D if healthy given what was around them. That's on the GM and DC for not doing better. They literally missed on all but 2 guys so far while expecting their passrush to be an old Clowney? Since Evero and DM were here last year lets add 2023's guys DL Shy Tuttle (signed three-year, $19.5 million deal) S Vonn Bell (signed three-year, $22.5 million deal) DL DeShawn Williams (signed one-year, $1.1 million deal) LB Kamu Grugier-Hill (signed one-year, $1.3 million deal) DB Eric Rowe (agreed to terms) And that draft Round 1 | Pick 1 overall (from CHI) Bryce Young, QB, Alabama Round 2 | Pick 39 overall Jonathan Mingo, WR, Ole Miss Round 3 | Pick 80 (from PIT) DJ Johnson, EDGE, Oregon Round 4, Pick 114 overall Chandler Zavala, G, NC State Round 5, Pick 145 overall Jammie Robinson, S, Florida State That's how you build an all time worst D right there. Burns is doing nothing in NY. Luvu wasn't coming back anyways. I don't see how DM and Evero get a pass for such terrible work over 2 years. I would think a blindfolded dude throwing darts at a draft board and free agency board could do better than that over 2 years. It's not just a talent on the field problem IMO. And yes DM was AGM in 2023 but he was the GM's right hand guy and the pro-personnel guy so even taking that into context it still stinks. 
    • If I am the Carolina Panthers GM, the first thing I am doing is making some requests of David Tepper. I want to overhaul the Scouting Department. Too many terrible drafts in the past 3 years.  Spare no expense, bring in a combination of experienced scouts and new scouts who can special in using newer technologies to aid in the determination of player success in the NFL. I am requesting an overhaul to the team's medical staff and injury prevention team. This team has lost a primary starter every week of the season, including many of the best players on this team.  I am not saying these things are completely preventable, but injury luck this bad can't be completely coincidence. I am requesting that Tepper seriously consider switching to a natural grass turf for game days. I am attempting to re-sign WR Diontae Johnson, RB Chuba Hubbard,  C Austin Corbett, OL Brady Christensen, CB Michael Jackson, CB Troy Hill, and WR Jalen Coker prior to the trade deadline (November 5th) The following players on the final year of their contracts are going to be traded to the highest bidder prior to the trade deadline if a buyer can be found. S Xavier Woods, P Johnny Hekker, K Eddy Pineiro, TE Tommy Tremble, S Jordan Fuller, S Sam Franklin, TE Ian Thomas, and any other player on the final year of their contract who we do not have interest in re-signing prior to the trade deadline.
