What are some examples of QBs who were once considered huge busts, but revived their career on another team?

Believe me, I am absolutely sure Darnold is ecstatic to get to start over and especially with a team that HAS weapons. I am sure the coaching staff is also as excited to have a QB that actually will hit players further than 30 yards and in stride and not throw behind or go off script and then not recognize it. 

 

It's a win win man.

I've seen Ryan Tannehill cited, but he was actually above average in on a terrible Miami team.

In his 2nd, 3rd, and 4th season, he passed for over 4000 yards.   His passer rating was always in the 90s, and while not a top tier QB, you couldn't really call him a bust.  Tannehill went from pretty good to better, so I would never compare him to Darnold's disastrous start.

Drew Brees was also very good in San Diego;  are there any examples we can use to have hope for Darnold?

As long as we don't have a uniform, agreed upon, definitive definition of a bust, there is really no point for this conversation/debate. 

He wasn't considered a bust by his peers,  coaches, or experts. 

But because you and other "fans" wish to label h a bust, then he is. Great conversational starter.

Favre was drafted by the Atlanta Falcons in the second round with the 33rd overall pick in the 1991 NFL Draft.[15] On July 19, 1991, Favre agreed to a three-year, US$1.4 million contract with a reported signing bonus of $350,000.[16] Atlanta head coach Jerry Glanville did not approve of the drafting of Favre, saying it would take a plane crash for him to put Favre into the game.[17] Favre's first pass in an NFL regular season game resulted in an interception returned for a touchdown in a game against the Washington Redskins.[18][19] He only attempted four passes in his career at Atlanta, was intercepted twice, and completed none of them. Favre took one other snap, which resulted in a sack for an eleven-yard loss.[20]

I hate how people act like Tannehill was better his first two years than Darnold. He wasn't. Only in year 3 did he play better than Darnold and he wasn't coached by Gase. He also had a better player at every skilled offensive position in his year 3 and he was 3 years older than Darnold. Darnold wasn't actually "bad" until last year. He actually had the same improvement in year 2 that Tannehill had and finished year 2 well. The Jets then decided to tank in 2020.

It pains me when people talk bad about Herndon (who'd walk into our TE room and be the man tomorrow) and Berrios (who'd happily fit into our WR corps as a slot guy).

    • Running a business is like driving a car. You need a clear view of the road ahead, a handle on how much gas you have left, and the knowledge of where potential bumps might be. Accounting is like the dashboard of your business, providing essential information to navigate towards success. In simpler terms, accounting tracks your business's financial health. It helps you understand where your money comes from (income), where it goes (expenses), and what you have left over (profit). This knowledge is crucial for making informed decisions that keep your business on the right track. Here's a breakdown of why accounting is important for businesses of all sizes: 1. Evaluating Business Performance Imagine making business decisions in the dark. Accounting sheds light on your company's financial performance. By analyzing your income and expenses, you can see if your sales are increasing, if your costs are under control, and if you're making a profit. This information helps you identify areas for improvement and track your progress over time. For instance, accounting can reveal if a particular product line is a money-maker or a drain on resources. This allows you to focus your efforts on profitable areas and potentially adjust strategies for underperforming ones. 2. Making Informed Decisions Every business decision has financial implications. Accounting empowers you to make smart choices by providing the data you need. Whether it's deciding to invest in new equipment, hire additional staff, or launch a marketing campaign, accounting helps you understand the potential financial impact. Let's say you're considering expanding your business to a new location. Accounting can help you estimate the startup costs, project potential sales, and determine if the expansion is financially viable. This way, you can avoid making decisions that could put your business at risk. 3. Budgeting and Forecasting A budget is like a roadmap for your business finances. Accounting helps you create a realistic budget by analyzing your past income and expenses. This budget becomes a tool for planning your future spending and ensuring you have enough resources to achieve your goals. Accounting also allows you to forecast future financial performance. By analyzing trends and market conditions, you can make educated guesses about your future income and expenses. This helps you prepare for potential challenges and identify opportunities for growth. 4. Securing Funding If you need a loan or investment to grow your business, lenders and investors will want to see your financial statements. These statements, prepared by an accountant, provide a clear picture of your company's financial health. Strong financial statements with accurate and up-to-date information demonstrate your creditworthiness and increase your chances of securing funding. 5. Staying Compliant with Regulations There are government regulations that all businesses must comply with regarding taxes and financial reporting. Accounting ensures you keep accurate records and meet all filing deadlines. This helps you avoid penalties and fines from regulatory bodies. For tax purposes, having well-organized financial records makes filing tax returns a breeze. It also reduces the risk of getting audited by the tax authorities. 6. Managing Cash Flow Cash flow refers to the movement of money in and out of your business. Accounting helps you track your cash flow and ensure you have enough money on hand to cover your expenses. This is crucial for avoiding situations where you can't pay your bills or meet your financial obligations.
