Question...what if P.J is better then S D?

Until results prove otherwise I can't say Sam is head and shoulders above PJ. Both quarterbacks can sling it and move around the pocket well but both quarterbacks have questionable decision making and that's the variable that can make or break the season. But both are still much better options than Bridgewater was because they'll actually take chances and try to push the ball downfield. But when you look at it from that angle Teddy never should have been here in the first place.

I’m don’t like our whole qb situation honestly. I don’t care what anyone says but we should have been giving Darnold reps he shouldn’t be considered a vet. Idc if he was going against their damn second string. I’m sorry but we don’t know what we have in Darnold and if anyone thinks we have backups well I don’t know what else to tell ya. Nothing against you just my opinion.

In all fairness, if you don’t care what people have to say why participant on a forum around people’s opinions? Seems like an oxymoron 🙂 

 

just feels like an unhealthy activity to participate in.

He's not so it's a moot point.  So much angst about this.  It was funny at first but now it's just tiring.   I'm fairly certain that if there was a question about who starts Darnold would have been in the field yesterday.  He was not and that settles it.  They are going to ride or die with Sam.

I didnt see posts like that.   I saw a couple mentioning he wasnt a good backup and one mentioning an overreaction to 1 preseason game but those are both responses to the post.  I didnt really notice any saying the post shouldnt have been made.

What if people were smart enough to know not to overreact to preseason games? 🤔

This is specifically what I'm talking about. If you view a topic of not being worthy of consideration, just don't click on it. Coming into topics to bash the topic and/or the posters is something you'll start seeing a crackdown on in the regular season. It just invites personal arguments and derails threads. We're seeing way too much of it right now.

Fair warning.

Honestly, if Darnold falls flat out there, I don't think it's going to matter who they put in next at QB. We're going to be looking at a long season, an early early draft pick and probably the loss of a coach or two or three. 

I know, I know, I know... long contract yada yada yada, Tepper believes, yada, yada, yada. Rhule, Brady and Snow are geniuses, yada yada yada. It just takes time to build, yada yada yada.

None of that matters. Last year we sucked. The year before we sucked. A third year in a row of suckage and the crowd will start calling for blood. 

I want Rhule to succeed. I want it to happen this year. I want us to not just be competitive but to contend. We've got some great talents on this team, some guys who could be legendary. But we need the Rhule Revolution to kick it into gear or we'll start seeing the Chip Kelly comparisons come along.

I thought we--as in the Huddle--had gotten past the days of embracing mediocrity. It appeared as though Rhule was changing the culture and it was rubbing off on people. I think that he has to a large degree, but he hasn't done it perfectly. But there's no need to grasp ahold of the imperfections.

We're just seeing way too many threads derailed by people complaining about people voicing an opinion different from their own right now.

Comments from the other side of the fence are expected and should be welcomed.

Comments complaining that there is another side of the fence are the problem.

Wise words to live by...

...hopefully the entirety of the country will take your advice!

There isn’t many “good backup QBs” in the NFL @BurnNChinn in all honesty PJ won his first and only NFL start… not much more you can ask from the kid. There are very few teams in the NFL that can survive if their QB goes down. 
 

Not knocking you but you are a bit too aggressive on PJ given that he plays a role in the NFL that are very few good and far between. 

The defense gave up like 225 TOTAL yards that game. It would have taken a miracle to lose it. Lets look at the rest of his stats for the season.  Downright horrifying (and that includes the DET game).

    • You kinda gloss over this, but this is really at the crux of this whole argument....which Flacco are we talking here?  You bring up that he played with 3 different teams but ignore the fact that his performance varied quite a bit from team to team. 2024 Colts: 65.3% completion, 12 TDs, 7 INTs, 220.1 YPG, 7.1 Y/A, 90.5 rating 2025 Browns: 58.1% completion, 2 TDs, 6 INTs, 203.8 YPG, 5.1 Y/A, 60.3 rating 2025 Bengals: 63.4% completion, 12 TDs, 3 INTs, 290.6 YPG, 6.8 Y/A, 96.2 rating 2025 Flacco (Browns + Bengals): 61.1% completion, 14 TDs, 9 INTs, 252.0 YPG, 6.1 Y/A, 80.8 rating vs. 2025 Bryce: 62.7% completion, 14 TDs, 7 INTs, 196.2 YPG, 6.2 Y/A, 86.0 rating I bolded the comparison that I think objectively makes the most sense...just simply comparing the two QBs for the entire season.  Otherwise you'd be cherry-picking Flacco's time with the Bengals and ignoring his earlier stint with the Browns, which sounds an awful lot like people cherry-picking Bryce's stats in the second half of last season. So again, which Flacco?  Basically the only thing consistent with Flacco across each of these teams was his W/L records: 2-4, 1-3, and 1-4 respectively.  I'd say if we're comparing each version of him to Bryce this year: Colts Flacco > 2025 Bryce, Browns Flacco <<< 2025 Bryce, Bengals Flacco >> 2025 Bryce, and 2025 Flacco < 2025 Bryce - Flacco this year only beats out Bryce on YPG but in part because he throws significantly more passes (almost 60 YPG more than Bryce, despite a lower Y/A which is pretty telling) .  Flacco is maybe the most apt case study about how important a QB's circumstances are to his success.  He was easily a bottom 3 QB in Cleveland and arguably top 10-15 in Cincinnati...and we're talking about the same player from the same season.  All that happened was taking him from one team and plopping him onto another team; nothing inherently changed about him as a QB.  Funny enough I think that's all that one dude on here was trying to say when he made that long poorly-received post after having an epiphany working for PFF behind the scenes or w/e.  That it's largely short-sighted to just try to evaluate QBs in a vacuum when there are so many variables at play that ultimately decide whether a QB is successful or not.   I think Bryce has been mediocre at best this season and I'm ready to move on regardless of how he ends this season - I'm highly skeptical a strong end to the season will carry over into next year considering how last year ended and this year began.  I would certainly agree that he's a bottom-third QB this year.  I just don't understand you scoffing indignantly at anyone holding the opinion that Bryce has had a better season than Flacco...I can only assume it's recency bias.  Or maybe you know the stats don't support you, which is why you're conjuring up the god-forsaken arbitrary "eyeball test" which is the kinda thing people in here were saying about Fields for years, pinky promising that he really truly was a franchise QB despite his awful stats.  Perhaps it's called the eyeball test because I roll my eyes anytime I hear someone bring it up seriously as an argument.
    • CMC said he expected to play his career here.  He didn't think he would be traded.  Carolina decided they wanted to trade him.  He picked here he wanted to go.   But we dumped him.  For largely peanuts.   But we dumped DJ Moore and he never had a blood and guts game.   So it's never a guarantee. 
    • I have many people telling me CMC was blindsided and heartbroken by the trade, but that's not how I remember everything going down.  49ers are pretty wounded right now on defense so if our offense can sustain drives and score, that'd be the difference maker. Their offense? I'm not scared of CMC.
