Tomlin about to have Haskins look like Mahomes...

The huddle Saturday morning: hot topic: QB Controversy, is Dwayne better than Sam??? 

If Haskins looks like Mahomes against the starters I would say that's much more of a negative for our defense than anything to do with Darnold, but its preseason regardless so it wouldnt nesscesarily correlate regardless.  I also think it's funny you mention that since going by your PJ posts you would be the one posting it if anyone did.

Well guess that means no Darnold? What you guys think?

What do you mean?  Last time I checked, QBs play against defenses, not offenses.  Who on their defense is pulled out?
 

Sam needs the reps with his first team offense, or the little girls will be screaming how much he’s coddled.  Lord spare us all.  🙄

I really do not understand the logic of this place. Why would that effect Darnold? 
 

Darnold knows the speed of the NFL. He’s been playing in this league for three years. That won’t be new to him. He needs reps to knock some rust off but it isn’t like we are throwing a rookie into his first NFL game week one with barely any preseason snaps. 
 

Like him or not (and there are fair reasons not to) he’s an experienced QB in the league. Experienced doesn’t mean good. But I’m really not worried about this situation and I’m really not worried if the Steelers play their 2s against him.

    • Yes, he's a tier above them, but you also touched on the money side of it.  With T-Mac locked in as our #1 on a rookie contract for a few more years, I'd much rather use that money that would be needed for DJ on our defense and develop Coker into our #2.   Especially given his contract situation as an UDFA, as his contract is up at the end of this year but we can keep him around for a 3rd team controlled year on the real cheap.  Which means we probably could get him to sign a very reasonable extension this offseason to give him a little more money while giving us a bargain contract for what he provides. DJ's contract is north of $20 million for the next 5 years, why pay that for your #2 WR with the needs we have on defense and you have guys like Coker, XL, and Horn on rookie contracts who very well could combine to be a serviceable 2-4 WRs behind a stud in T-mac? I love DJ and he'd be a great fit on this team as our #2, but the money side of it just makes absolutely zero sense, that's all it comes down to for me on this one. And no, I don't see the Bears wanting XL back in that trade, because they drafted Burden, who is essentially a better version of what XL provides, a player you want to get the ball into their hands and let them go to work.
    • I didnt see that many bad calls in the panthers cowboys game, but the chiefs especially in the playoffs were getting every single call they could get then the refs when it didnt matter would throw a call towards the other teams.  That I believe was the taylor swift effect.   But its crazy just thinking about how easy it is to change a game.  You dont need but a single ref to make a few close calls go towards one team over the other and in the nfl that is the game.  
    • I don't think it's unrealistically blaming Bryce Young......to say has been a reason, sometimes a big one, in why our pass offense overall has been extremely week over the past 3 collective seasons.  I think that bothering anyone, is just being overly invested in some Bryce Young argument.  It's just a reality.
