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.

      First OTA's Monday and Tuesday

      By Mage · Posted

      If you only look at measurables, Mingo and Legette might seem similar.  But when you actually look at them and watch them play, they aren't close to the same.   And this is coming from someone who is skeptical about Legette, although ultimately I believe he will work out.  I've just always disagreed with the comparisons to Mingo.   Mingo tests better than he plays/runs, whereas Legette plays/runs as well as he tests.

      Where will the wins come from? (my early predictions)

      By Mage · Posted

      As bad as things were with the Panthers last year, we still had 4 other games outside of the 2 we won that we came very close to winning.  Could throw the Falcons game in there too, it was tied going into the 4th. I'm not really sure what to expect this year.  I don't think we'll make the playoffs.  However, we play in a very weak division where no team has a standout QB.  On paper, our OL should be good, and could be great if Ikem improves.  That alone could help mask a lot of problems on offense.  Should allow us to run the ball better.  Even if Bryce doesn't improve, the OL should at the very least give him more time to make the easy throws underneath and let a guy like Legette work his magic after the catch. And I think this defense in a 2nd year with Evero should, at the very least, be in the top 16.  I'm expecting our run defense to be as good as it has been in years. I think this team could push for 7-8 wins.  But it could also finish with 2 wins again.  That is just how the league works.  Jets offense was miserable last year, and yet they still won 7 games.   We won't really get a good feel of it until after the preseason, and even then, who knows.
