QB Controversy

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.

    • Same, bro.  Yeah, it just feels it has run its course and I don’t know that we’ll ever get more value.  Plus, with the new ownership, this draft has been super encouraging, so dare I believe maybe this FO can get something to really put us over the top in return for Melo.  I’ll still be a fan of his game and try to keep up with him if we move on, but yeah, I feel it’s time to turn the page. (and side note: I felt so happy after their rookie years because I told everybody I wanted Melo and didn’t trust Ant.  And Melo clearly looked like the better player early…  I thought Ant would bust because all that stuff he said about not loving the game and just his resume to that point…  but damn, if we could go back in time.🤣🤣🤣. I love Ant’s game and at times, when he gets in the zone, he is THE BEST player in the league in my opinion.)
    • Appreciate that, bro!  And I could definitely see that with Cam.  Even though he’s a little younger than me, he is also someone I admire and feel a kinship with for a lot of various reasons. Funny enough, a few years after that encounter with Steve, I went to Charlotte with one of my friends whose brothers owned a moving company at the time.  He dropped me off uptown and went to work the day with them where I would wait until he got done and then we were gonna go to the Bobcats game that night.  So I walk all through that area for hours.  After awhile, I walk back towards the arena and sit in a bench on the backside of the arena, where the practice court and player’s entrance was.  As I’m sitting there, I look up and almost think I’m seeing things - I squint and blink my eyes a couple times just to be sure, and yes…  it’s one of my childhood heroes, Muggsy Bogues walking across the crosswalk and into the arena.  I think he was coaching the Sting then, iirc.  Part of me wanted to just say, “Hey!  Muggsy!  Thank you for the inspiration and memories!  You were one of my favorite players as a kid!”  But, I just watched him walk by and into the arena and thought, “that was cool!”  I also so Miguel Cotto a couple years back while in Orlando and told my kids who it was but didn’t say anything to him.  I think somewhere in my subconscious, that encounter with Steve really made me feel like the gamble on finding out if they’re receptive to interaction just isn’t worth finding out.  At the end of the day, no matter if they’re receptive inspired us or were a hero, unless they initiate it, I likely never will…  because again, they’re humans just like us.  Not anymore unique or special, they just have a highly visible and very public job that we get to watch and in some ways participate.  So, I just appreciate it for what it is.
    • I'm pleasantly surprised they gave it to Bryce Young over Josh Allen. Finally we're getting some respect. Now I'm just hoping the team follows this up accordingly and doesn't lay another egg.
