So what if one of the qbs drop in.the draft? Why did we rush this???

I'd like to think this was basically hedging our bets to prevent absolute disaster of being left with only teddy at QB if all the top QB were drafted ahead of us?

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. 

 

Oh, I'm with you, I think. I wasn't too keen on trading multiple firsts either. I always said that we had to do a cost-value analysis and look at all the options. 

Go Darnold!

Only argument that makes sense against this trade is if the jets are taking Wilson at 2 which Is expected then darnold could be had for cheaper after the draft...but I still like the panthers wanting to get a clear picture of needs before the draft

a 2022 second has third round trade value in 2021.  So the fourth is actually a fifth. 

Add em up--we saved our picks this year, to build around the qb.  We tossed away a 3 and a 5 and a 6.  Boo hoo.  Some of you crack babies wanted to send 3 first rounders and 2 elite players to Houston for guy who really craves deep tissue pecker rubs.

Brother until an hour ago I was on your train but now that ship has sailed.  We are riding and dying with Darnold.  We are not drafting a qb at 8

If Fields or Lance falls to #8, I  wouldn't 100% bet against it.  This is essentially a 2-year deal for Darnold.  We gave up on Teddy after just 1 year and his contract ran 3years.

qbs have to make plays in clutch situations. Can darnold be clutch? I don’t know but from everything I’ve read/watched the best we can hope for him is a glorified game manager. 

Though the metric can be flawed, I look at comebacks and game-winning drives as an indicator of how clutch a player is. 

Data :

Sam Darnold has led 3 comebacks, and had 4 game-winning drives in his 38 career starts.

Teddy Bridgewater has led 5 comebacks, and ahd 6 game-winning drives in 49 career starts.

To be fair, a Kia Sorrento is a high quality automobile, and comes for a fraction of the cost and maintenance associated with a Rolls Royce.

this here is where the source of the support for this move comes from

 

youve got a bunch of dorks so concerned the team would trade away their precious 1st round pick and then they’d have to sit bored all offseason with nobody listen to their deep scout hot takes player breakdowns

youre going to be a lot more bored watching Sam Darnold lead the team to 3 and out drive after drive

    • I don't believe it's as easy as saying that anyone believes that Rico had the 10th best day on offense. Grades are done in a vacuum inasmuch as they can be. By their very nature, skill positions are always going to account for more "production" in reference to stats, and RBs perhaps even more than WRs because they touch the ball more. You can't look at PFF's grading system, or any football grading/grading system (like perhaps Football Outsiders or Next Gen Stats), so simplistically. If a player has an excellent day, relative to his position, relative to his assignments, and relative to his number of snaps, then he should be graded highly. It's up to the reader (or the analyst, if you will) to put what you're seeing into context, and that's not only in relation to the grades, but the general situation (like whether a player is playing injured, who they're playing with or against---the general situation). Even the fact that (presumably) PFF or news outlets put out a list of the highest and lowest grades, that doesn't mean that said players were the most impactful of the day, it just means that they did or didn't do their job the best, based upon a certain set of parameters. PFF is a part of life for football analysts, talking heads, execs, coaches, players, and even fans (even if indirectly), all to varying degrees. It is a tool that is used by all 32 teams. Obviously it's not viewed so dismissively by franchises as a whole. Execs obviously don't look at it as a bunch of bozos making sh¡t up on the fly. Fans can berate it or swear by it, but it isn't going anywhere.  The only thing that I can tell you is that perspective and context matters.
    • Im not big in to PFF but their guys were raving about his blocking along with our other skill players in the run game. https://youtu.be/D4kL_N97cFQ?si=sJWSZCUA1bj5otyx
