I was all for PJ taking TB5 place last year because he brought energy and a flash to our offense.  If PJ were to take Darnold's spot we better put our best pass radius receivers on the field.  His accuracy is not very good.  

If there were a true competition at QB this year.  IMO it would be Grier and that's a stretch.  Darnold may or may not pan out.  Neither Grier or PJ are the answer behind him. 

I wonder what the writer is going to say when we stash the competition on the PS.

PJ Walker problems can be worked out with development. It depends on the coaches

I hate to be pessimistic but I unfortunately do not have any confidence that we have a competent long term starter at QB on the roster. PJ may turn into a decent backup with some development who knows but I don't see a starter in him at all unfortunately and I definitely don't see one in Grier and hate that I feel the way I do but do not feel Darnold is the long term solution either just by the limited things I've seen. I admit I've seen limited action on Darnold but I haven't been overly blown away with what I have. Perhaps if Darnold was an actual totally green rookie I would have hope but not with a few years in the league under his belt even if he was playing in an absolute poo storm in NY. I am happy Teddy is gone but I think the best we have on our roster at QB is maybe a very decent backup in Darnold or potentially PJ Walker if he can get that accuracy better. Waker is exciting to watch though and he has something I cant explain when I see him play. Don't think it translates to a starter but could be a fun backup.

      I believe I just read somewhere that the Rams don't do Top 30 Visits. I mean, it makes sense from the standpoint of trying to keep information close to the vest.

      Emanuel McNeil Warren + Jacob Rodriguez

      I'm not sure 19 is too high for Rodriguez anymore.  He looks to be moving up boards, but it could be smokescreens.

      Panthers WR Xavier Legette named potential trade candidate for 2026 offseason

      I see XL this way---great athlete.  Good person.  When we drafted him, we knew he was raw.  One year of WR in college (starting) and in HS, he was a QB, I believe. We knew we would need patience with him.  I think year 3 will be make or break.  He is older, and I think that people with his athletic ability have always been better than those with less---but those with less can become more successful.  Why is that?  in my view, it is mental. XL can learn the mechanics and nuances of playing WR if he becomes focused on it and works at it.  I had the opportunity to talk to Armanti Edwards one day after OTAs (great guy) and he discussed how overwhelming it was.  He seemed shocked.  At that time, I knew that Fox hated the pick (I heard him mock Armanti to another coach when he saw Edwards drop a punt from a jugs machine--then I saw Armanti look back at Fox as if to suggest that he was feeling the pressure to please the coach. We forget that these are kids in their early 20s.  At the time, Fox was a lame duck.  Remember when he had Clausen as the #3 QB and was forced to move him up the ladder?  I liked Fox, but I think the climate and culture was influenced by the politics.  Currently, I see another Wr from SC who is struggling, but he is ina  very nurturing, positive culture. Let's see what happens with XL.  I am frustrated too---but XL was a second round talent who was raw and we traded up to get him.  He had 500 yards as a rookie--lets call 2025 a sophomore slump and see if we can't get at least 50 yards per game out of him.  If not, cut bait.
