Vincent Richardson, one of the Roaring Riot guys, is from "across the pond".

He's a damn smart football guy too.

His podcast appearance on One day contract is damn good. He breaks down all of our picks.  He doesnt really poo on them per se but he def says temper expectations especially with Christenson

I'll be patient with judging Sam for at least 8 games.  He was very unpolished as a QB coming out of college and the coaching staff with NYJ weren't known as "teachers".

I like that Rhule emphasizes teaching the basics and he can re-learn some of his basic reads and footwork.  

If he can cut his turnovers ~30%, he will be successful.   I'm cautiously optimistic.

Lol.  We have a lot to thank West Virginia for...one of our greatest coaches, John McKay, was born and raised in WV.  He was the coach when I was at USC, he and Bear Bryant were close friends.....I remember that 1970 game in Birmingham vs Alabama very well, we were so afraid the residents would attempt to harm our black players - our QB and almost the entire backfield were black.

The opposite happened, then I had the great pleasure of seeing coach Bryant across the stadium in the Coliseum in 1971.

It's all on Sam  Darnold now and we'll see if he can throw deep with accuracy and touch like the critics say he can!  However, we need to make sure he has a decent OL and will not have to run for his life the way he did with the Jets.
 
I can see this matchup working out for  Darnold, the team and Joe Brady since he has a better QB for his play calling.
 
Let's remember though, this will be the first year Darnold has had a legitimate QB coach his entire career, going back to his two USC years.

McKay had some of the greatest quotes when he was coaching the Buccaneers 😄

Per his sons, he immediately regretted leaving USC for the NFL for the rest of his life.  The L.A. media loved him, he would hold court at Julie’s - he had his own table, drink in hand, entertaining the beat reporters.
 

His dying wish was for his ashes to be spread over the field of the Coliseum, it wasn’t legal, but USC made sure his wife Corky fulfilled his wish. That is why the Coliseum is hallowed ground.

This remains my favorite game because there was plenty of Sam to Robbie in this game which I think we will see real soon here.

Of course, we will hopefully also see Sam to DJ, Sam to Arnold, and Sam to McCaffrey.   🙂

      All you can control is the opponents in front of you. Besides, I would rather see a regular G5 participant in the playoffs than a C-Tier P4 team that conclusively proved they couldn't win when it mattered.

      Derrick Brown appreciation thread.

      By TD alt · Posted

      Derrick Brown was one player I never called or even suggested was a bust . Dude was young and hadn't even hit his stride. It takes time to learn the position. The thing I appreciated about him is that he kept improving season after season. He got paid and keeps on going like the Energizer Bunny.

      How many teams coddle their QB the way Bryce has been coddled? I have never seen any other team in the NFL EVER baby a QB the way that Bryce has been.  Bryce was named day 1 starter his first year. It was obvious he didnt deserve it. He wasnt ready as evidenced by the worst rookie year in NFL history.  So let's move to year 2. He's named starter again with no competition in TC and is benched 2 games later. We have the ghost of a backup in Dalton who is so bad he can only beat Vegas and let's remember, the only reason he lost his starting job was a car accident, not because Bryce actually beat him out in practice.  And year 3. We sign Dalton again, who already proved he couldn't be depended on to put an even remotely passable performance on the field, and bring back Jack Plummer, who was even worse than last year. It was obvious he was nothing more than a pretend body in an attempt to create an illusion of some type of attempt to find a backup.  Then we start again with garbage play again and Bryce gets benched with a phantom injury, and the ghost of the ghost of Dalton breaks his thumb on the first drive and craps the field all over again. If we had actually made an attempt to find a legitimate QB2, it's possible Bryce doesn't step on the field again. Bryce is not agood QB and if we had any other mediocre QB, our record would be the same or better.  Bryce is not entrenched. He's been placed, protected and sheltered from ever having to face a  real QB competition in TC. Richardson and Levis both were ass and both were benched and eventually replaced.  Do I expect Baker to face competition in camp? Sure. I expect Tampa to find the best QB2 they can at price that fits their cap and resources and system and get him up to speed. If he's better than Baker, and if he's better by a significant margin, that's best for the team. The ultimate goal is a Super Bowl. Bellichek was constantly getting QB2s with the GOAT as his starter. He knew the value and that was realized when Cassell led them to an 11-5 record as a backup.  You and I may think differently than the people that matter but I will say it again. If you're afraid to bring in a capable backup, especially after the debacle of last year. The starting role wasn't earned, it was given, and that's loser mentality.
