95 members have voted

  1. 1. Which is the most likely scenario?

    • Gets beaten out as starter(rookie/Teddy/etc)
      0
    • He is who we thought he was(same inconsistent player - bust)
      11
    • Teddy 2.0(career highs in TD/Yards but still clearly a marginal NFL QB)
      16
    • Jake 2.0(not an elite QB but shows he can make us competitive)
      54
    • Adam Gase is QB Poison(Shows why he was the #3 overall pick - Franchise QB)
      14

He’s better than Teddy, still not good enough to be a franchise QB. Toil away in NFL purgatory 

If I am going to be completely realistic here Teddy was better than Darnold by a good amount last season.  He will have to improve bigtime to be a good starter for us.  The turnovers are very concerning with him.

This trade should not take us out of the QB market in the draft either if Fields drops to 8.

We are going from game manager to gunslinger but this is one of the statistically worst gunslingers in the NFL. 

I know people want to "ooh and ahh" over the potential of Darnold but we need to not be blind to the very real chance that he could be much worse than Teddy was. Teddy was bad in a maddening but ultimately semi-effective way. Darnold could be ACTUAL bad.

I am genuinely curious, is there anyone here who didn't want Jameis Winston but is excited about Sam Darnold?

Great question.

Seems the data-set would include everyone who is excited about Sam Darnold... 

(as I don't recall anyone wanting Winston)

      So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
