Darnold has more upside than Teddy for sure...but sadly Teddy is probably the better QB.  Not thrilled with this trade, hope it works out.

I disagree. Teddy is not the better QB. Put the tape on side by side and let it speak for itself. While watching, take account that teddy has DJ moore, Robby and curtis.. and Darnold had jamison crowder as his best guy. And Adam gase. It's pretty laughable honestly. Darnold to me is easily better

Darnold sure hasn't shown it yet...maybe he's a late bloomer.

Half this board tried to convince themselves this time last year that the Teddy signing was brilliant too. This one likely ends up turning out about the same. Darnold probably has a career year like Teddy did because honestly it wouldn't take much to qualify but it's nowhere near good enough and this time next year half the board is trying to convince themselves that the trade for Jared Goff will be the third time's a charm.

Need to bump some of those threads and see the coloration. I member my posting were along the lines of -" dont agree, but the coaches want him, so......" Plus I know for a fact I said Id take Jameis Winston for 1 million over Teddy for 3/63. Truth be told, right now Teddy is a better QB than Darnold and they just traded 3 picks(2nd) for him. Just when I think you had some questionable moves(Erving/ Elflein) and then this..... only saving grace is they're not big money killers.

I mean, Adam gase does have a reputation fair or not of ruining QBs and teams... Darnold didn't exactly have weapons the same way we have weapons... Plus, the jets are an awful team period. There's so many variables are play. Playing for a team that's dysfunctional probably sucks the life out of you.

The panthers have the same reputation.

I have no doubt in my mind that Rhule can get Darnold to check down every play and then some. Teddy might have better understanding and situational awareness at this point but he still plays scared and doesn’t have the raw skills that Darnold does. He’s useless if he can’t win with the game on the line.

fuging eye test shows he's ass, just like Teddy, but unlike Teddy he horrifically failed the stats test.

Same fuging idiots last year that stroked the FO off for bringing in Teddy doing the same this year with Darnold.

For what it's worth I was one of the ones deathly against the teddy idea. This Darnold idea is significantly more hopeful and appealing imo. Lol

      Texas A&M Nic Scourton vs. Purdue Nic Scourton

      By *FreeFua* · Posted

      I’m honestly not trying to argue with you or talk bad about Scourton, I like him and I’ve watched all of his Purdue stuff/videos you linked previously. Just like I’ve watched all of Princely’s Florida stuff I’m only pointing out the weight thing because I’m excited about the idea of him being 255-260 and being more of a stand up edge here in Carolina like he was at Purdue versus at A&M And like you, I have a crap load of experience doing the whole cutting/weight/fitness thing and I know how crappy/sluggish I feel when I’m holding as little as an extra 8-10lbs of unnecessary weight. So for Scourton to come out and say he’s 255-260 now and feels good that’s exciting based on what he’s put on film at 280 and not feeling his best

      2024 College Football Thread

      I hate seeing this. I'm not sure he was ever going to make it in the NFL without the injury but that injury knocked FSU out of the college football playoffs and cost him and them and opportunity on the biggest stage in college sports. The injuries are the worst part of this game. They've created a nearly unending list of "what ifs". Hell, every HS, college, and pro team out there has a long list of them. It's also a good reminder that there's no such thing as a routine major injury. Even though sports medicine has improved dramatically in recent decades, major injuries are still somewhat of a coin flip on how a guy is going to emerge from it.

      I don't know what Texas A&M was doing with their edge rushers. They had two freaks in Scourton and Shemar Stewart and yet instead of turning them loose they asked them to play 20 lbs overweight and just set the edge. That's full-on coaching malpractice at any level. Much was made about Shemar Stewart's lack of sack production, but while he wasn't my favorite prospect this year a lot of that was clearly what they were asking him to do. The good news with Scourton is that, unlike Stewart, did manage to be a huge factor as a pass rusher despite this and despite playing 20 lbs overweight. If he can stay around 260-265 it should help him re-gain some of that explosiveness from his Purdue days.
