So what you're saying is, we need to bring in the Saints offense and load up on talented receivers and TE's.

well, you also need the QB talent that thrives in a NFL passing scheme.  Joe Burrow didn't have loads of talent at Cincy.  He had no OL and  his  #1 was a rookie WR....and still was pulling it off looking sharp.  Talented QBs find a way to shine bright even in bad spots.  Special dudes are special. 

The Golden Calf of Bristol and Joe Burrow fit different schemes.  It's why Joe couldn't break through the Urban depth chart.  And it's why The Golden Calf of Bristol can't play in the NFL.

Unless they are elite talent (taken really early) rookie OTs probably don't need to be starting or getting much play time, especially early. They wear roller skates and are more a liability than anything. Work them in gradually.

Not the end of the world honestly and yea unless they are a top talent at all in the draft it can be better to wait. If he doesn't end up working out they may have to adjust their idea of dropping in the draft so often when a good OL is available. 

At the end of the day they have their system and they are at least using it consistently so as with any system even if it has its successes you will not hit on everything obviously.

And progressively got worse each year under Gase?

well, Tannehill got hurt. 

Darnold only had 1 real year with Gase.  Which was his "good" year.  They went full tank mode this year from the jump.

At the end of the day. All you can do is do your work, and make the best decision you can. If you have a quality information gathering system in place. You have to trust it. Even if you miss from time to time.

 

And right now. It appears we are doing pretty well implementing that plan.

No argument there. 

Know what that ultimately means? They didn't want Fields. 

All we know was what they said on it here:

They felt Darnold + Horn was better value for the team than Fields alone or Fields + Darnold. It’s easy to understand the thinking behind it even if I disagree.

and Phil Snow thought it was a great idea.  In fact, Darnold initially was the DCs idea.  Crafty move Phil.  Team with no QB and no OL in back to back drafts...keeps spending their first round pick on guys for you. 

the Philappaloosa model lol.  I mean Phil Snow is getting some beasts.

Do you have any proof of this statement? Sounds real iffy to me.

 

At the start of last year it was largely held, we had very little talent.

 

This year? There is talk of Playoffs. This team is improving. But you can't enjoy it, cuz we didn't do it the way you would want?

Darnold got hurt last year. He had a shoulder injury and missed several games because of it.

same interview with Rich Eisen where he said he thought Darnold + Horn was better overall for the team than drafting Fields. 

Which isn't the same thing as him saying he thinks Darnold is better than Fields.

      It's not even a particularly nuanced opinion, yet it seems out of reach for so many.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By strato · Posted

      I don’t think he can be great. For me he tops out as starter maybe make the playoffs, stuff like that. I would have been okay with that kind of player as a placeholder but you don’t invest the time and assets we did and be happy with that.  On the cure,If a guy has mechanical flaws but otherwise is enticing, you let someone else make the mistake of taking him in the top of the 1st. If he doesn’t get taken you can pick him up 2nd or 3rd day and try to develop him (off the bench not starting).  The risk/reward with Bryce was horribly misjudged. I didn’t want to trade like that in the first place because I didn’t see the generation talent that justifies that type of move, but once it was done CJ was the better gamble. No doubt.

      That's what I mean. If you claim to possess some super knowledge about the QB position from a previous non-football but football related job, wouldn't you want to expound upon that to support this "everyone doesn't know anything about being a QB" thesis? The rest is just summed up by stating that there are a lot of variables to a QB being successful. Yeah....I mean that isn't earth shattering.  While there is certainly a lot of luck involved in all manners of success, consistent success with the variables around you also changing on a regular basis is usually fairly conclusive.  Is Trent Dilfer the same as Tom Brady? Is Nick Foles the same as Patrick Mahomes? I supposed based on the OP's arguments, they are. That's not really the way it turned out, however.  The NFL isn't unlike most other jobs or even other sports. The cream typically does rise to the top on a more consistent basis. Is it accidental that premier poker players seem to win or perform very well on a consistent basis, give that any individual hand is largely luck?
