I am with you--we made our QB choice, now lets build around him.   Sorta reminds me of the time the Cowboys drafted Aikman and gave up another #1 pick in the supplemental draft by drafting Steve Walsh.  That did not really pan out. 

Of course you could say, we gave up a 1st (2021), a second (2022), and fourth (2022) and a sixth (2021) for 2 QBs with starting potential.

Now, I have to think if Tepper was behind the Darnold move, he would also be behind the Fields decision.  Does that mean Darnold was simply insurance?  Here is the rub.  You get Darnold, and no matter what these people say about him, he has the tools to be successful.  Imagine getting #15, a second and maybe a first in 2022 to move back and take Horn, for example? 
To me, you do not put all of your resources in one basket and hope for a miracle.  You research the player, build around him, and go to war.

Sometimes I feel like Bill Cosby when Coca Cola trotted him out to tell everybody with a straight face that he liked "New Coke" better.

Of course, in the years since, I've learned that feeling like Bill Cosby probably isn't a good idea 😕

What exactly was in that Jello Pudding that he raved about so much?

You have to read those ingredients on the label.  There are some chemicals in there that are probably not good for you.

If you figure that out, then do me a favor and tell me what the hell's in Scooby Snacks that can make a complete coward ready to risk their life.

(yes, I know the theorized answer)

I will be honest--I want to see what Darnold can do and if Fields is there, I want NE to send me 2 firsts and a second or so to swap.  I think we compete in 2021 with a T and CB and maybe a WR---not 2 qbs fighting for one center's ass to grab.

That’s not true if you study his tape.  Besides, this draft has plenty of talent at LT

Got me, I have not studied his tape-- saw him at G when i watched.  Smithers, I would love it---but I am so afraid of ignoring other positions.

      Does anyone actually think Bryce will actually be good?

      Where will the wins come from? (my early predictions)

      By ProcessBlue2 · Posted

      I'm too lazy to make my own format so I am stealing yours.  Week 1: Sept. 8 at New Orleans  (W) 17-6 Running game and Derek Carr having a horrible opener gets the win. Week 2: Sept 15 vs. Los Angeles Chargers (L) 24-10 Hype from Week 1 goes away when Harbaugh and Herbert show up. Week 3: Sept 22 at Las Vegas  (W) 16-13 Complete defensive struggle but Panthers win on last minute FG.  Week 4: Sept. 29 vs. Cincinnati  (L) 30-13 Score is actually worse but Panthers score in garbage time. Week 5: Oct. 6 at Chicago (L) 21-10 Horrible performance by Bryce in a winnable game and even his fans start to think he's not it, press conference questions get worse and calls for benching intensifies.  Week 6: Oct. 13 vs. Atlanta (L) 20-17 Running game becomes 70% of offense to help Bryce, it works but can't get job done at the end. Week 7: Oct. 20 at Washington  (W) 21-14 Running game/defensive comes through; Bryce does okay. Week 8: Oct. 27 at Denver (L) 27-7 Complete offensive collapse. Week 9: Nov. 3 vs. New Orleans (L) 30-24 Saints keep shooting themselves in the foot but we provide them a turnover-fest and they come back in the 2nd half.  Week 10: Nov. 10 vs. N.Y. Giants (Munich, Germany) (L) 24-6 Worse offensive performance of our season. Week 11: Nov. 17 BYE Week 12: Nov. 24 vs. Kansas City (L) 34-31 OT Dalton takes over for Bryce to try to salvage season. Plays close game; gives team a slight bump. Week 13: Dec. 1 vs. Tampa Bay (W) 28-27 Dalton has nice game. Canales beats his former team in a stunner.  Week 14: Dec 8 at Philadelphia (L) 27-14 Tough crowd, tough game, run out of gas in the 4th.  Week 15: Dec: 15 vs. Dallas (L) 31-24 This will be out "worse officiated game of the year." and we will all accuse the NFL of trying to get the Cowboys in the postseason. Week 16: Dec. 22 vs. Arizona (W) 26-10 Solid win by Dalton and co.  Week 17: Dec. 29 at Tampa Bay (W) 12-10 Canales sweeps his former team and knocks them out of the postseason in an absolute rain fest. Week 18: Jan. 4 or 5 at Atlanta (L) 28-20 Close game but Atlanta holds us off.    Panthers finish 6-11. Dalton's mediocre performance shows just how bad Young really was. Panthers start the search for the next QB.

      Want to see something crazy?  Look in Bryce stats after Dallas game.  They parked Bryce and told him to play conservative. Bryce first 9 games: 9 TDs, 8 Int, ~1,600 total yards.   Bryce last 8 games: 2 TD, 2 Int, ~1,600 total yards.  With just 1 game over 200 yards passing.  If you remove that game… Bryce is 0 TDs, 2 Int, and 1,300 total yards in 7 games. Just disaster the way the handled him.  Dude regressed as the season went on.  He took zero chance.  Just stayed in the pocket and got pounded.
