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.

    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight 
    • There's a reason Greg Maddux was never a flamethrower but still one of the most feared pitchers of all time, because accuracy beats velocity far more often then vice versa. Once you exceed a certain minimum capability, you can thrive with extreme traits elsewhere, its not strictly about power in any sport but powerlifting.
