Just watched the Hall of Fame game and neither starting QB played . I understand there was health reasons .  How much do you see Darnald playing in our first preseason game? The backup QB is very important . The backup QBs for Dallas and Pitt looked pretty good . How do you think ours will look ?

I think Darnold needs to play a lot this preseason.   

He has struggled in the NFL to date and this is brand new offense for him.   It makes no sense to "save him for the regular season".  He needs the work.

I agree he needs to play a lot but we don’t have a backup worth a crap so idk what they will do. Darnold goes down we are definitely screwed.

Significant? Yeah I bet.

I remember hearing all this excitement about this raw QB entering his senior season at Montana (of all places), his rocket arm and off the wall intangibles….from Jordan Palmer through his FIL.  He just needed to go to the right franchise. This was before the hype.

Jordan was right.

He has improved every year and is a top 3 to 5 QB, thats how. And that is how the market works. Lamar is going to make more than that and most would say Allen is ahead of him.

They had him under team control for 2 more years. Make him prove himself again this year, the price wasn’t going to go up much if at all... I’d agree if he was a pending FA or had 1 year left and was forcing a contract but that wasn’t the case. This could easily turn into a massive disaster if we find out that last year was an outlier, which is entirely possible.

    • Love the Freeling pick even more after watching his pressers. Dude is sharp and definitely seems to have the right mentality. I loved hearing how personal he took having a bad game with a torn labrum and instead of seeing that as the reason for his bad game and not changing anything, it motivated him to work even harder. Such a great pick, we finally got our all pro level LT for the next decade and now we can move Ickey to RT or guard with no hurt feelings due to his injury. Second favorite pick is probably Brazzell. He said he false started on his 40 and it cost him probably 0.04 seconds, so he’s more of a 4.33 guy rather than 4.37. Really Randy Moss lite. I didn’t know anything about him prior to drafting him and first highlight reel I saw of him I immediately thought he looked like Moss. Then I saw the measurables and was like yep. Then I see that he’s drawn that comparison by many scouts and analysts. If he can add consistency and play to the level of his highlights every play then we got an incredible value.
    • During his three years at UGA he only allowed 5 sacks. He is only 21 and is on an upward trajectory. He's a great athlete that was good basketball player in high-school.  His height (76% how is this only 76%???? these guys are giants now), hands (81%), span (99%), speed (96%), quickness (10 yd. 86%), and explosiveness (vert. 96%, broad 97%) are all outstanding.  When we took Freeling, Fano, Mauioga, Proctor, and Miller were all off the board so we could have drafted Iheanachor or Lomu instead or waited to the second or third round to take Bell, Tiernan or Barber or wait even longer.  A lot of these tackles (including the first two taken) project to right tackle or guard in the NFL and that's not what we needed now.  Freeling has some sloppiness to clean up in his run blocking, but he's young and getting better.  We can let him get experience behind Walker and Moton knowing if he has to replace one of the two this year, his pass blocking won't get Bryce killed. Icky's not coming back from that injury as a nfl starting left tackle and Moton is in the twilight of his career.  If Walker has a great year, we will have to pay him a lot and if he is medicore we would want to let him walk.  Getting a LT on a rookie contract is going to help a lot with the cap.    
    • It was cool but they have done this at least in recent years unless I am imagining it
