I have no clue but I certainly don’t think there are any mental gymnastics to compare Darnold and Tannehill. Doesn’t mean it will work out as well, but Darnold improved in year 2, but they pulled the rug out from under him in 2020 looking to the draft. I don’t know if the GM wanted Gase out or just realized that they had a great shot at Lawrence/Fields and getting a bunch of picks as well. They certainly didn’t try to add around Darnold in year 3.

Tannehill had two 4000+ yard seasons in Miami and another just shy of 4000. Darnold barely cracked 3000 once. He threw for 2200 yards, 9 TDs and 11 INTs last year. He wasn't just the worst starting QB in the NFL, he was the worst by miles. Him working out here would be an all-time career rebound.

Tannehill was still older at his youngest ....and wasn’t playing with 37 year old RBs, no WRs in a complete shitshow.   
 

I mean if Sam had success given his situation....he would be a GOAT.  Maybe the GOAT.   I honestly can’t name a comparable to his scenario.   I just think he is a decent gamble.  But just a gamble.  would have preferred cheaper but....we need some lotto tickets

Ryan Tannehill was also throwing it 590 times a season.  Darnold actually had more yards per attempt in his first two seasons than Tannehill. definitely doing some massive cherry picking...

The good ones still find a way to look good. Mayfield has had four head coaches in three seasons. He still went 6-7 as a rookie throwing for 3700 yards and 27 TDs in 11 starts with his head coach being fired mid-season. The good ones find a way to look good themselves even when the situation is a dumpster fire.

What happened after that for Tannehill? I mean, since we're not cherry picking...

Tannehill was better through three years. I don't disagree. He had good year 3 numbers.  But the scenarios are also very different. Darnold is much newer/younger to the position (started barely over a year in high school and just two at USC) and had a much worse situation entering the NFL. Still just 23 (basically how old Joe Burrow was his senior year at LSU with Joe Brady). The trade is a bet on our coaching. They really like Darnold's talent obviously. Really the only pick of real value we gave up is a 2022 second. Risk/reward here is very good. Give it a rest.

I would wager Sam could find a way to look a lot better with the cast Baker had this year and previous ones.  

that’s the problem, we view Cleveland as a dumpster fire.  It stacks up vs NYJ as a clearly better scenario.  Baker had Chubb.  Hunt.  Landry.  OBJ for a minute.  Decent TEs.  Solid D.   That’s a really good spot for a QB in reality.

Sam was in 2nd grade when Frank Gore was drafted lol.   That should be a joke.  Sam was literally in 2nd grade lol.   Sam not having success isn’t a Sam problem.  Well, not that we know of at this point.  No reason they should of sniffed a single win this year.

      Play calling

      By BEASTfromdaEAST · Posted

      DC is not perfect by any means and it is INFURIATING the inconsistency shown this season so far but if they stay strong down the stretch and either just slip into playoffs or just miss them you got to give him another year to see if they make the next step.  You want to see progress year over year and I believe we are. His play calling has been dictated by what he has at QB which we talked about ad nauseam. When BY makes bone head decision or has his multiple turnover games you start to lose trust in him no matter what the "coach talk" he says in press conferences. I would vote to keep DC for another year with a retooled QB room and see what happens.

      Bryce Young every time I give up on him

      By rodeo · Posted

      We have the toughest remaining schedule in the league, so we'll see where we go from here. If he could do that to the #1 pass defense in the league, there's no reason he can't keep doing it.

      This is what he does, I'm always happy when the Panthers win and will give BY his props for balling today. Unfortunately BY is like a crazy partner who does nothing but gaslight you into thinking that they are good enough for you, in reality they're not. He's a backup NFL QB in my eyes and idk if he could do anything short of a SB win to change my mind at this point.  CONSISTENCY is the name of the game, are you there day in and day out. That answer so far is also NO. #nevermyQB
