Not bringing in competition for Darnold or Slye was a huge mistake

I don’t know what their plan is with Sam but I hope you noticed that Lamar Jackson didn’t take a single snap. I don’t know what KC did during the week of practice but seems like Rhule and Harbaugh were both satisfied with the joint practice reps.

Can't be. We have shoe salesmen and garbage men telling everyone how bad the players, coaches and front office is.

Slye I get, but Darnold? Dude attempted two passes.

Exactly! How is this Darnold not playing more???

How is there not a completion for the QB position? Darnold has done NOTHING to deserve the treatment he is getting. This isn’t some established veteran that doesn’t need reps. The Ravens not playing Lamar Jackson, I get it. Dude is an MVP caliber QB. Darnold has stunk it up his first 3 seasons. That is not a recipe for a winning team.

This has muchadoaboutnothin. We a running vanilla offensive plays and showing 5% of the playbook. Slye is the bigger concern but Darnold 2 passes was simply to get him in game speed. Yea I think they shouldve let him play longer but I believe the joint practice from the colts to the ravens helped them to where they feel comfortable not throwing him out for a half. There has been a big improvement overall from the colts to the ravens. But Joey geez.

Id wager they dont want him out there until the line is decided and his top two weapons are in the game....

and they’d give less of a sh*t about the line if they had a backup plan at QB. They are scared as f*ck to start PJ or Grier

I can see not bringing in any competition for Sam, as they really committed to him. Once they passed on Fields, it was Sam's team for 2021. What I can't see is not bringing in more competition to push Walker on out the door. Grier could leave right behind him, but I've always viewed him as more of a project on development curve. 

As for Slye, I just don't see any excuse. All the "there's no one better" and all that BS is just that: BS! If the Ravens can get a kicker in our backyard, what's our fuging excuse? 

The problem is that Rhule is too damned comfortable with mediocrity at certain positions. Starting QB? Hopefully not! Backup QB? Yes! Kicker? fug yeah! And as far as I'm concerned, Tepper needs to give him a kick in the ass. If we can see a problem, then Rhule (and by extension, Fitterer) needs to see the problem with clarity.

Two important factors here (1) Jackson is a former unanimous MVP of the league and Harbaugh knows exactly what he has with him and (2) Jackson is also just getting over his second bout of COVID-19. Not exactly an apples to apples situation.

      if  ANYONE actually goes & looks at the FACTS on rookie Qb's after 2 full seasons as a starter in the NFL & they are still well below average do they rarely ever actually become top tier Qb's & instead most likely either do not recieve a second contract & or become life long backups...just saying

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.
