How much preseason time should Darnold play?

I think a quarter to a half each game.  I prefer a half, but after seeing how Rhule has handled TC and Fan Fest this year with an overabundance of caution, I doubt he gets anywhere close to that.

He needs live reps, and so does our OL.

I dont think the OL is as bad as many think they'll be...  if it means anything, I think this OL has a chance to be one of our best.

Man, everything I'm hearing about Darnold out of camp has severely dampened my excitement.

What did you hear and WHOM did you hear it from?

'Cause it sure as hell wasn't from the MAIN Sources 99% of us followed.... 🙄

Why? Everything out of camp has been excellent after he shook of the rust and pads went on

CanePantherHornet sounds like someone who stopped paying attention once he heard Sam was struggling that ONE practice and he's now using it as The Gospel.

It's pathetic.

The correct answer is as long as possible.

You're not evaluating Grier and Walker - you know exactly what they bring to the table.

Darnold and the #1s should be in as long as possible - that Oline needs extended snaps to gel.

A billion times THIS.

On the one hand, the more reps he gets, the better he should be in the new system and we really need that to be the case.

On the other hand, if he does get hurt, we're likely looking at a high draft pick for a QB or LT. It's another year lost but I'd rather him get hurt preseason than halfway through the year and end up at pick 8-15 where we just miss out on the elite level talent. 

And we miss an entire year of evaluating whether he can actually be the answer at QB. That would be a terrible scenario.

If he misses the entire year then I think the evaluation will be easy...find a new guy.

      We joke about how the NFL has a script for the season. But maybe it's not a joke?

      lol, that second part is quite literally one of the dumbest things ever. Having or not having guaranteed contracts has absolutely nothing to do with how much these billionaires have to pay.  Because there is a hard cap and a minimum cap spend requirement, and teams either use their cap or roll it over to use it all the next year, so the owners have to pay the same amount of money in the end no matter what. Having fully guaranteed contracts in the NFL would only hurt salary cap management, and thus would end up screwing over the team and its fan base when teams kiss on signings as they take up cap room that is needed to improve the roster. Look at the Browns with Watson, they gave him the fully guaranteed deal and all it’s doing is sucking up massive cap space now.  If they hadn’t done that, the owner would still be paying the same amount of money each year as that cap space would still be used elsewhere. If you want to argue for fully guaranteed contracts because the players deserve it, that’s an entirely different argument and a fair one to discuss.  But anyone against fully guaranteed deals isn’t doing it to argue for the billionaire owners.

      Ryabkin could be the steal of the draft, he was a Top 10 pick heading into last season and had a rough year.  Lots of GMs passed on him because of that and his workouts. Pick has really high upside and Svech should be able to translate Rod tearing his arse a new one for making dumb plays since Svech has had several years of it.  🤣😂
