Who has the most pressure?  

51 members have voted

  1. 1. According to analysts Darnold needs better weapons, better system, better coaching, so where would the pressure lie?

    • Sam Darnold
      10
    • The Brass- Rhule, Brady, Tepper.
      41

Who did they bypass? The only option that’s bypassed at this point is deshaun watson 

wow so maybe you’ve checked out this offseason but it turns out it’s a deep class of QBs within general striking distance of the Panthers

I don’t trust this coaching staff after teddy to make good decisions on qbs anymore. 
 

yes I would stay put and draft Lance if he fell to 8. That’s just what I would do. People really need to stop with Howell. Whoever has that number 1 pick is not trading it away. 

If Fields is there at 8, I'm taking Fields. Lance I'm much less certain about and depending on the offer, I could be persuaded to move. That's just me. 

I don't think anyone really expected TB to fold like he did. He wasn't going to be spectacular, but I've never seen a QB just give up and fall apart the way he did. I've never seen a QB just give up like that or lose any desire to go for it. I wasn't a huge TB fan, but man, he left me wondering WTF did I just watch.

I also don’t think Teddy is an example that the FO makes bad decisions.  

given the new offense and more importantly covid messed up and shortened the lead up into the season  ....that move is what allowed them to get the O up, running and installed.   Teddy was    a short term move

And the draft hasn’t happened yet...and it was looking like there weren’t going to be any in striking distance. If they actually are when the draft happens, nothing is stopping us from taking one. Better to have one too many QBs than one too few.

A lot of us actually did. I’m mildly optimistic about Darnold though.

they just traded a haul for an established bust 

they were going to give a 1st for Matt stafford

they were going to give the entire team for watson

they were well within striking distance of a rookie QB

 

if they still draft one, then this trade is even dumber

If you think a sixth and a future second and fourth is a haul, then there really is no reasoning with you.

Teddy bridgewater was brought into potentially be a steal at the QB position because of his run with New Orleans and his contract reflected that

It makes sense in some respects. We have a lot of pieces we need to fill, and the desperation to get a new QB for a lot of teams has driven the price through the roof. While we have to give up a 2nd and some cap space, this isn't a 40m a year contract and it isn't 2-3 1sts plus. That's what we may have had to give up to move to 5. 

I fully expect us to trade down if Lance is on the board. We can get a lot from one of the teams that could still be looking to trade up. If the top 4 are gone, maybe someone moves up for Jones, or we stay put and grab Sewell, Slater, Chase, a top CB. This opens up a lot of room to maneuver, even if we are out some cap space. 

This is the scenario that I’m hoping for. Either trade and recuperate draft capital or get a badass at a position of need.

 

Chins up, boys

There were tons of us who knew exactly what we were getting when we signed Teddy. And that contract wtf man.
 

I cannot stress how bad Darnold was with the Jets. I totally get circumstances, coaching and surrounding talent but I think the best case scenario for darnold here is just a step above teddy. So I’m totally down with taking a chance on Lance at 8. If it doesn’t work out, I get it. We swung and missed. I would like that we took a chance. But you HAVE to take that chance to be in a position to win a Super Bowl. The draft is a crapshoot ultimately.

they gave up a second round pick-and change-for a verified bust, I then proceeded to lay out other demonstrations for you 
 

stop being willfully stupid

What demonstrations? The Matt Stafford attempt? Not a bad idea. Being “within striking distance” of a rookie? If you mean Mac Jones (bleh) or Trask or someone then sure maybe. I’d rather have Darnold. The good four were going to be gone anyway since Jacksonville and the Jets are taking QBs themselves, I don’t believe SF is going to take Jones, that would be almost as bad as signing Teddy Bridgewater to be your starter. Atlanta is talking about trading back but it ain’t going to be with us. So that’s 1-4. I don’t want a QB that’s not one of those four. One of us is being willfully stupid, and it ain’t me. Only one of us is claiming a 23 year old QB who’s only played for the Jets could already be a verified bust.

I didn't expect Teddy to be great. I expected him to be mediocre and I completely agree about that contract. WTF. I didn't expect him to flat out quit and that's what I meant by folding. He just gave up on trying to win. Of all the effort it takes to get to the NFL and how hard he had to work in rehab after that injury, quitting just wasn't in the line of thinking for me when we signed him. 

If we take Lance at 8 I'm cool with it. If he fails we swung and missed. As a coach though, there's no way in hell I'm letting him sit behind a guy that quit on winning with this team. It's not happening, no fugging way.

Ding ding ding

the team believes they just stole an elite all pro caliber QB (or worse, don’t feel as if having one is essential)

having to watch the rookie QBs go star elsewhere is going to sting a lot

hope you guys don’t have any incriminating posts making fun of bears fans for passing on Watson or mahomes because now we’re very much in danger of it

You actually think that all of these rookies are going to be good lmao

 

Everything past Lawrence is just as much of a dice roll as Sam Darnold is.

      With the first pick, don't draft a QB? Draft a DE? C'mon!

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      This draft is 2023 all over again, it's not hard to see. QB's who don't grade out as high first round prospects while at the same time, the following draft class looks to be loaded with elite QB prospects. Drafting a QB just because you need one (or making a bad trade to make said draft pick), when there isn't one worthy of that draft pick, is how you ruin franchises, just look at us right now.

      I upgraded to the S24+ a few weeks back. Very happy with it.

      LOL... Yet again proving you can't look below anything than what you see on the surface Mock drafts ARE NOT draft grades They are what people think will happen.  They are mocking teams taking QB's in the top 5 of the draft because that's just historically how drafts go regardless of the grades on the QBs.  Almost every draft expert, even those mocking QB's going high, have said time and time again that none of these QB's actually grade out as those type of picks. This is again, where I say you don't like to actually read what I have to say, because I already explained it. 2022 the exact same thing happened, mock drafts had guys like Pickett and Willis going in the Top 5 because that's just what teams usually do, but GM's listened to their prospect grades and knew they weren't worth taking that high, so they didn't. It's not to say QB's won't go that high this year, but it's to say that they aren't graded out as elite QB prospects.   And yes, I've never said I'm not a T-Mac homer. But me being that doesn't change that he will be the highest graded offensive player in this year's draft, at a position we haven't been able to solve since we lost Smitty.  Taking him makes all the sense in the world, my bias aside.
