This is why I found Robby's extension a bit baffling and why it leaves me a bit concerned about our plans for DJ.

I probably don’t understand these things, but isn’t it for just 2 years ? 
My thinking is, if Marshall and Sly are good, not injury prone etc .

so after 2 years DJ Moore will have his contact and the others still on a rookie contract.( if they are as good as we hope ) . And Robby might have to move on..

And Robby will be 30 when he is in the last year of his deal. That's normally about the time span you expect a WR to start their decline. Similar to how the CMC deal was, we seem to have hit the mark on the average time an NFL player is effective at their position when we structured some of these deals. Intentional or not.

Our plans for DJ are ultimately up to DJ.  He balls out he gets paid.   It's that simple.   Whether it's us or someone else.  I think we will be fine if it's not us.  It's a good problem to have.

If we're contenders by then Robby might resign cheap for the last couple years of his career, biggest concern is Shaq making 18 mil the next couple years.

3, but only the first two are essentially guaranteed.

The Bucs with Godwin and Evans is a fair example.  They have two guys with a roughly 33 mil/yr investment with 2 younger promising guys in Darden and T Johnson.  Same with Beckham and Landry.

Looking around the league right now, many teams have around 30-35 mil invested in either 2 top guys or 3 with 1 obvious mainstay.  Teams that have under 30 mil invested in WRs have a lot of young unproven talents or landed some great draft picks in the last 3 years.  Reasonable to think we carry two nice WR contracts in 2022 with 2 potential studs coming out of this draft and don't believe it is breaking the bank.

And if Darnold doesn't work out (rooting otherwise) and we land a rookie QB, we've got some time before we need to pay the QB room and will have a really really nice window with our homebuilt team from 2022-2026

Even if Darnold DOES work out, he's not getting top of the market money. No where close. Darnold needs to show 2+ seasons of high level play to get a big contract. This is why he is a low risk high upside signing.

Well, the issue with that is that he only has this season and next. So, if he blows up this year, do you risk that last year of his deal to be a tiebreaker? I suppose we have a franchise tag to use on him to extend that period. 

Which......I am completely down to have the "problem" of having to decide how much to pay a QB that has been playing lights out for us.

      Canalas’ play calling next week

      Who believes after Rico went off that Dave will go back to Chuba, go very pass happy again, run Chuba 7 times, and give Rico 5 carries?   he has a weird obsession with wanting to pass it over and over with Bryce.

      I never once said I believed in Sam. Only that he’s proof that the Jets and Panthers are bad organizations. You spent all that time on me. I’m flattered.

      Story of the year. Get down massively to Arizona, look like your first NFL game to throwing for more than 300 yards and getting the team to within 40 yards of a come back win. Get down 17-0 to Miami, execute the offense to outscore the Dolphins 27-7 the rest of the way. Defeat the Falcons 30-0 throwing for like 150 yards. Personally, I think it would be great to have retained Darnold. Darnold in this scheme with Canales would instantly make this team a contender for the NFC South. However that didn't happen.  I don't know what you do because when they run game gets shut down, and it will get shut down, you have to depend on Bryce to play efficiently. On one third down ball to someone (I forget who), when he was rolling out and made that throw close to the sideline to convert, the TV people would talking about how special that was. What I saw was another receiver streaking all alone 45 yards downfield, with about 5 yards of separation. Even while rolling out, an average QB is able to deliver that ball, signed, and sealed for a touchdown. Bryce's lack of deep ball ability is the achilles heel to this offense and it's something that can't be fixed.  I would love to be able to draft Carson Beck. I think he took a lot of crap at UGA which now seems unwarranted. Looking at how inefficient their offense is now compared to how it was with Beck at QB, and now how he has gone into the system Cam Ward was in and outperformed him massively in just pure execution and efficiency, along with the physical traits, tells me he will be a Top 3 pick. We won't have a Top 3 pick though. So what do we do? I have no idea. Canales is too good of an offensive coach for us to get a Top 3 pick and Bryce is inconsistent enough to get us a Top 10 pick. So absent finding a guy like Nix with tons of experience and good enough measurables, which requires great evaluations, I just think we are stuck.
