Difference is despite what people think Ryan Tannehill put up pretty good numbers and improved almost every year despite having a crappy team around him for most of that time and still learning the QB posting because he was a WR in college.

Tannehill's numbers declined his last two years in Miami. Darnold improved in his second year from his first. His third year he was hurt.

RIP hopes of Trey Lance.  At least I won’t be as anxious heading into the draft.  We should be able to draft a good player with the huge run on QB’s that’s likely to happen 

I said as recently as yesterday that our staff might look at lance at way too big of a project to take on.  I mean best damn case scenario is he is two years away from simply starting.  Longer still on being a really productive player.  I think we want someone to win now

Keep coping, Darnold was garbage all three years including pre-Gase.  Ryan Tannehill?  We'd be lucky to get Ryan Fitzpatrick level of play 

Pre-Gase was his rookie season. 

If I remember correctly, Manning was putrid his rookie year as well. But he had a quality supporting cast and offensive coaching beyond that point.

Not saying that Darnold is Manning but come on man. Gase is hot garbage and has a horrible record of talent development on his roster.

I'm not sure signing Sam Darnold means the Panthers couldn't draft a QB at 8 if one fell though.   

I mean, everyone assumed Teddy would/should go if we drafted one of these guys.  So that means we were going to bring in someone else regardless.

Not exactly.  Lance is the one that had to sit a year.  We picked up Darnold's 5th year.  If Darnold sucks this year, we at lest gave him a shot and can explore options, but most importantly it will give Lance the season to sit he needs.

fuging 2nd rounder is retarded, even if it is next year. Upgrade on Teddy and an intriguing flyer but not for a 2nd rounder ++ more. 

That's the only issue I have with this. But, we weren't privy to his market either. I don't like it, but I don't believe it will be particularly crippling either. It is what it is.

Perhaps they've found a franchise QB. We'll see.

Are you a Scout? Are you a GM? Are you an NFL coach? 

Maybe they should seek your opinion next time they make a deal. Darnold is likely worth more than we gave up for him. 

His grammar should give you some indication of what you are dealing with.

Lol are ya’ll serious? 

I’m not a huge Darnold fan but this is a very low price to give up. 

Ya’ll overvaluing picks hard. Plus we’re gonna have soooo much cap space to compensate for whatever picks we don’t have.

Great risk/reward deal. 

He's only under contract for one more year. Fifth year option would be $18 million. If he plays well, we'll have to pay him.

the market just said 3 first rounders was the cost to go up to #3 and draft a college QB.   And that kid frankly, is no safer gamble than pulling Sam out of NY and trying him. 

given the current atmosphere.  That is a decent deal.  ESPN talking heads were shocked the Jets couldn't get more.

      Honestly, I have only one pair of white shoes (only because they were new and like $4 from the Goodwill) other than my easily-cleaned Crocs. A man's got to think ahead.

      Breakout 2025 Candidates

      By shaq · Posted

      Who are your top three breakout candidates for next season?    My three: Jatavion Sanders- Simply put he is the best receiving TE we have had since Olsen. We all saw his potential over that three game stretch prior to his neck injury where he showed a real connection with Bryce. Good route runner with glue for hands, limited blocking upside but he gives solid effort. With Tremble already being hurt I don’t see a reason why he already isn’t our starter and clear future at TE. Trevin Wallace- For a developmental LB forced into a starting role last year he  exceeded expectations. LB is one of the hardest positions to adjust to from college, and for a prospect who was widely regarded as very raw, surprisingly he was solid in coverage and only had an 11.9% missed tackle rate. He was overly aggressive consistently, and needs to work on his play recognition. But he is set up to be our best LB next season, and likely starter for years ahead. Even barring reaching his upside, his floor was clearly a lot higher than draft pundits assumed(Morgan can scout LBS). Cade Mayes- I am hopeful Cade wins the starting job at C this season. He may have been our most improved player last season, he looked like an above average starting C after he took over for an injured Corbett. He allowed 0 sacks on 327 pass block snaps. Corbett can not stay healthy, and at this stage in his career Mayes is objectively the better player. Mayes is only 26 and gives us the potential of stability at C, something we have never had since Ryan Kalil retired. Corbett slots in as a great backup C/Guard, and Cade continues to develop and gain more chemistry with Bryce and our stud duo of Hunt/Lewis.
