Sure, just like we did last year with Teddy...just saying...

At no point was Teddy considered the prospect Darnold was coming out of college..

You need to add context when trying to make a analogy..  

Teddy was a end of the 1st round pick  giving a opportunity here by a fired GM taking a swing trying anything to save his job.....Darnold is 4 years younger doesn't have the major injury history and was a top 5 prospect... 

This is a new GM and a HC both agreeing on this move neither in danger of losing their jobs.....

Brees in San Diego... Favre in Atlanta... Tannehill in Miami... etc etc

Favre in Atlanta that is perfect... poo even Kurt Waner with the Giants after being a Superbowl mvp with the Rams looked done.. Then he goes to the Cardinals and take them to a Superbowl... Palmer with the Raiders sucked and revived his career in Arizona... Point is this has happened before...

Was Brees that bad in SD? I thought they let him walk because of his injury, definitely could be wrong. 

In short, yes.  He looked worse his 2nd season as the starter than his 1st one.  He had more INTs than TDs that year.  By that point he was 3 years into the league.

Once they took Rivers, Brees play took off in 2004 and 2005.  By that point they had to make the call on which QB they were keeping long term.  They chose Rivers, and the rest is history.

In retrospect, either would have been correct IMO.

LoL.

Neither has thrown for 20 TDs in a season. Teddy has actually started a full season. Where they were drafted really doesn't matter at this point. You are trying to build this up. Either he does or he doesn't. So far he hasn't and his play has given plenty of reasons to knock this down. 

Also, this staff has done jack positively on the offensive side so that is at best TBD. Brady  so far is hype without production, hell he was still learning to call plays last season. The coaches look to have a type and it's broken with upside, that is fine but until it's not busted let's not pretend it's anything but that yet.

What it could be and what it is right now are 2 separate things, at least until the season starts. No matter how much you hype that up, one is hope and the other is a fact. I'm not the one getting that twisted up. To a Brees or Tannihil or Young or we have Matt Leinart, Rex Grossmen, Byron Leftwich, Patrick Ramsey, Chad Pennington, Karry Collins, Brady Quinn, Richard Todd, Kyler Boller, Jeff Jorge, Rich Campbell, Vince Young, David Carr, Joey Harrington, Jack Thompson,  Kelly Stouffer, Mike Phipps, Tim Couch, Cade McNown, Akili Smith, Jamarcus Russel and Ryan Leaf. But you have a HOF in Brett Farve to add. I have tons more to add.

 It's possible but please acknowledge the odds are against it happening and it's an uphill battle from this point but it is possible.

His familiarity with Robby Anderson could be a very strong point in his favor. The kid had the tools and experience coming out of college.

Can our coaching staff repair the damage the Jets did and get him to reach his potential or is he just a placeholder for a year or two?

As usual, Rhule and Co. have left us with some head-scratching to do until the season starts.

 

If Brady's system is as quarterback friendly as advertised then it should help Darnold immensely. I hope he has a high football IQ. Because from what I have read you need to be able to manipulate defenses by moving personnel to get favorable matchups. Something Teddy did very well. Then build a wall in front of him to give him confidence. And if the coaches are great teachers there is every reason to believe that Darnold can thrive in this system as long as he is accurate and can read and react quickly.

Top 10 on backups?? If we take Fields at 8 he is our guy. Darnold may start like Smith did to Mahomes, but our 2nd rounder next year would be a sunk cost... 

So you think they’ll “sink” a second round pick that they didn’t have to trade before the guy they traded for ever takes a snap for the team?

It’s not happening. Get over it. Darnold is Carolina’s QB for better or for worse for at least one, and likely two, years.

They said Teddy was 2 years minimum due to sinking millions into him, a week ago half this forum said we wouldn't get rid of him because of the cost and he is out there right now trying to sell himself like a there is one last trick left. Failure in the NFL is super expensive.

Darnold has some serious negatives. Teddy looked like a much better brain and Darnold looks like a much better physical talent. Teddy follows the script, Darnold won't follow it.

Brady has his work cut out for him. I get the conceptual part of it, I just don't believe in the end results being as automatic as pitched at this time. I would like to see a plan B this year, I'm guessing we draft one but probably later which I'm not sure counts as better 2021 plan B then Grier and Walker.

They saw a year of Teddy and decided they didn’t like what they saw. That’s entirely different from replacing a guy you gave up a notable haul for before he ever plays a snap.

The Panthers aren’t drafting a QB at 8. Move on.

It is unclear whether he can learn a better system or not. Brady took Burrow and in 1 year turned him into a phenom so maybe he can do the same thing with Darnold. I figured that Brady would have signed off on this so he must think he can resurrect him. So I am along for the ride.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.

      Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.

      By rmoneyg35 · Posted

      I think people aren’t patient enough with Young. It can take a few years for a QB to develop. Look at Darnold, Baker and most recently Daniel Jones.   he hasn’t been able to put up big passing numbers either cause of how much we run the ball. You can tell our coaching staff still hasn’t took the training wheels off Bryce and let him go all out. We’ve had some pretty bad receivers as well. We finally got a true number one last year and look how much Bryce improved. Still we didn’t really have any depth behind TMac. Coker was hurt for a lot of the year and XL was our #2. How many big plays or TDs has XL dropped? I think this year can be the year we see Bryce able to hit his stride. If not then we can start looking for another qb but I just ask people to be patient.
