Take QB out of the equation

It's also a fact that Gase and the Jets are trash and have nowhere near our offense. When Tannehill got away from Gase he "magically" looks like a real QB. That's what teams were looking at and have been talking about.

That’s true, but we’re are putting our faith in how bad gase is as a hc and how bad the jets are as and organization, more than the potential we’ve seen from darnold

Guess we can dispense with the dumbass narrative that Darnold was just a fallback in case we couldn't get someone better, huh?

I never had that narrative but we offered something good for Stafford and who knows what for DW...did it ever come out if we offered 3 1sts?

We tried to trade with Miami, and tried trading for Mathew Stafford. It's not really dumb, more of a fact.

Now that Sam is the only option we need an offensive line badly to keep him from seeing whatever ghosts he has.

Well our coaching staff seems to actually develop talent so they are also banking that they can develop him.

But hell yea if DW turns out to not be a super creep then you trade for him still regardless of if Darnold turns out to not blow ass. DW is far superior to anythign Darnold is going to be don't think anyone would argue that.

Yeah but we’d have darnold for cheaper than dw I’d assume, I don’t see darnold getting paid what dw at this rate but anything is possible

No you're hedging your bet that this coaching can develop a player with better god giving talent then the 4th or 5th QB in this draft.. Plain and simple 

Yeah hence why I said the same thing with Teddy, we’ve seen this fail once, granted Teddy isn’t the athlete etc darnold is, and doesn’t have the potential darnold does, Real risky business for first time owner and coach.

He'd just run out of his contract by then. DW is likely done for this whole year but if after that it turns out he is innocent or somehow not as bad as the worst of the claims are then it would time out pretty well actually

They do, but like Teddy last year, sometimes it doesn’t work out, I don’t think anyone believes the coaching staff didn’t put Teddy in the best position, week in and out, he’s just what he’s been all along a mediocre qb

You didn't, but several did.

As to Watson, it never got to the stage of us making an offer because the Texans never started listening to them.

As bad as it sounds, even if he loses some claims, depending the severity, I still think tepper would be interested. If we have a backup plan all this is moot, and I’m on board for it

Yeah idk why that’s even being discussed, he was clearly not the first option, unless the jets weren’t willing to trade him at the time we were interested in Stafford

Let's just hope we find a guy to protect his blindside or we might be picking 1st next year.

Your backup plan is you still got assets to get a QB next year or be in better shape to get a vet like Watson or even Rodgers next year..

It's going to be hard to develop a QB that sees ghosts with a poor offensive line.

    • 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.
    • 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.
