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.

    • I felt pretty good about us making progress this season, surprising some people, and getting some more wins than last season going into it.  Now, after preseason, my expectations are much, much lower. I was talking with my friend who is a Bears fan, and we were discussing their drubbing of the Bills and how people try to dismiss it as “preseason, so it doesn’t count.”  It absolutely counts.  Not the wins or losses.  No one really cares about that.  But what the Bears are doing shows that even in a vanilla, non-specific scheme, they are executing at an elite level and they are disciplined.  It shows they are well coached.  They see growth in their players.  Versus us - hard to tell what we’re looking at because everything is a fuging mess.  In games we’re still undisciplined, be it penalties or assignments.  We do NOT execute.  We got random coaches calling plays that won’t be calling plays during the season, we have our players getting into fights in the last padded practice of the preseason, then we have Bryce and Chuba trying to correct it while our coach sat off to the side laughing.  To be clear, I like Canales.  He seems like a good dude.  But, it feels like we have very little direction and discipline.  You’re allowing a team who has been historically bad the last almost decade, with a losing culture that mostly bereft of talent to self-police?  You’re allowing subordinates to work in pet projects at the expense of getting valuable reps and evaluation of players in during games?     My friend literally brought up last night that when Ben Johnson got there he essentially put DJ Moore in notice because it was starting to be perceived that he was displaying some diva-behavior.  That’s leadership.  And they’re reaping the benefits early and setting a tone.  My friend said there is an excitement and confidence in and around their team that’s he’s never felt his entire life.  And here we are, sounding and looking like The Bad News Bears in our final week of training camp and preseason.  I literally stopped watching after halftime last week.  I used to watch every play faithfully, even in 2001 and 2010.  It was fun.  This isn’t.  We are bad and our administration keeps making bad decisions to compound things.  Reading poo like this today is just fuging deflating.
    • With so much of the focus the past couple years being on offense, the defense has definitely taken a backseat to the talent available in the draft. I get it, they want to surround their number one draft pick QB with offensive playmakers but unfortunately that has come with a price that so far has not worked Let’s hope the offense and Bryce Young put it together this year or it’s going to be another rebuild next year with another new QB. 
    • I was intrigued by him but always said it comes down to the interview process and talking to his former coaches, etc. You gotta find out if he's coachable and has the mental makeup. I think we've found the answer. LOL
