Good QBs in established roles haven’t been playing.  Matt Ryan, Tannehill, Dak, Murray. 

Cam, Goff, Hurts, etc all have played.  

Pretty clear line.  And Darnold easily falls into the Goff, Cam, Hurts group that needs the reps.

These guys are throwing what 7 passes? How many did Darnold just throw in our joint practice against the Colts? It’s no different than leaving Darnold out and extra series or two if he needs it in game 3.

Rhule said he is using this game to establish depth and our roster. I believe we have to make some cuts next week and he wants to make sure everyone on the fence gets a chance to play.

Also I for one would like to have our line established before throwing Darnold out there against the Colts defense. If he plays week 1 preseason and gets hurt, fans would be screaming and crying.

I actually doubt that. He isn’t here to be our savior and he isn’t a franchise QB.

He needs to play in these games, period. He’s earned literally nothing in this league.

Did you read the part where Rhule said we protected well. Except for those "Exotice Blitzes"? Maybe we can wait until we actually see them perform before we go all Chicken Lilttle on their azz?

 

I know you have predetermined our line sux. But you know, you could be wrong?

I'm still trying to figure out how they are to plan for exotic blitzes that they have never seen and there were no game planning...for practice. Folks do know that there's no game planning for these glorified practices called preseason right?

Also they need to figure out the backup  QB spot as well.  My guess he's not on the team. 

Darnold will get his "live practice " time in before the season starts.

Reasonable take. Maybe you can teach a class. lol

It's practice.  What film is out there for them to study on these opponents for practice? I think you guys look for things to bitch about. 

 

 

Huddlerz wouldn't do that? Would they? The negativity is bad enough. Now we have to deal with Worse Case Scenarios as well.

    • There is a Grand Canyon-sized chasm between your opinion and the opinions of most former player hockey guys who do this for a living.
    • I can only imagine the **** eating grins on the committee right now. "Oh, Bama didn't deserve it? Oh, Miami didn't deserve it? Suck it, haters!" lol
    • To say that, is gaslighting, because it isn’t true. I mean, maybe one or two people do that but it isn’t the predominant behavior. Even Frank has given him credit. I think particularly the Rams game. A couple of glowing posts.   I know I have. Gotta be honest about it because if you aren’t it undermines what else you say.  But the degree of how far I go with credit, in terms of it being a projection of future performance? Not very far. Acknowledge it, but require more of it. There is a lot of bad play to offset.    I tried to remain passive while the last 9 games (post ankle injury) played out. It is just really hard when the lows won’t go away. I failed. As high as a couple of those highs were, there isn’t enough.    I know it is premature to just say I want to move on, made my decision after 6 of those games ended up pretty much really good or not good enough, but I have had enough of being patient and letting him show the reality either way.  So in my view, he Could still validate himself to a decent degree if he smokes the last three starts. But also in my view I don’t expect to see it. Maybe one more high quality start, would be my expectation. So yes he could still somehow justify having the job next year. If that happened I still wouldn’t have much faith given the last three years and all that has transpired. Again, there is a lot of bad play to offset.
