As a “Darnold hater”….this just isn’t true.  Sam isn’t Jimmy Clausen.  If our team is healthy….Sam being Sam isn’t going to give us a top 5 pick.  We should be able to win around 7 with being NY Sam (pending we stay healthy).   

You have to throw out 2020.   The Jets tried to orchestrate a top draft pick.  It nearly worked.  It was a legit tank job.   They just didn’t pull off making the cast bad enough to get the #1.  

if Sam isn’t great but merely plays the best football of his career? We should be able to get close to 9 IMO. 

Slugging was supposed to be slightly and if he does that is roughly where I see us 9 wins and in that group of teams that are “in the hunt” but are still going to miss the playoffs. Pretty sure we agree.

I think the focus on how bad the OL could be has some a bit blind on the skill player talent we have.  And being in year 2, we're in a spot where the depth is actually getting to be pretty young and solid, but there's glaring weaknesses at somepositions (LG, C, LT, OLB) 

We're coming along though.  I think Daley, Jordan, Christensen, & Brown all have some really solid upside on the line but we have starters on it that seem shaky.   

Depth wise, RB, WR, TE, DL, CB is all looking pretty good.

Thinking Teddy would be a better option than Darnold already nullifies the rest of that voter’s opinion.  Couldn’t be any more wrong.

Corey Miller said the same on WFNZ this week.

Randy Mueller, previous winner of NFL Executive of the Year, also said the same in WFNZ this week.

Teddy competed for and won the starting job in Denver...

...Silver Platter Sam had it handed to him.

Gonna be real interesting to see how it plays out for both...

but, yeah.  It’s fair.  Inconsistent ratings for an inconsistent team.  

Gotta be Hurney or Gettleman😂

Yep, 0-8 in opportunities for Teddy to win the game and we lost them all.  This team is a lot closer to the playoffs than people think.  

This is a very good point. Also, beyond Teddy, those would have been wins had the defense been able to hold the line just a bit better. Teddy wasn't doing us any favors, but not being able to get the opponent's offense off the field on third down is big, too.

Really, we just weren't "there" for a number of reasons. Hopefully we've corrected some of those reasons and didn't pick up any new weak spots. Just a bit more success here and there would have changed last season mightily.

This.

A lot of folks want to put everything on Teddy's shoulders without acknowledging poor playcalling, poor defensive play, poor offensive line play, and all of the other impactful issues the team went through. The team, however, seems to understand that it was more than just the QB. Nearly across the board there have been improvements made:

DB - Our DBs were horrendous last season. Troy Pride was on the bubble for this roster while he was a starting CB on last season's. Replace Rasul Douglas with Jaycee Horn, Troy Pride Jr with a healthy DJack, and Corn Elder with AJ Abouye and this looks to be an incredibly improved group.

DL - Replace Kerr, Obada, Hamilton, Weatherly, and Larkin with Jones, Fox, Nixon, Hoskins, and Johnson.

LB - Get rid of Tahir Whitehead, add Haason Reddick. ??? PROFIT!

ST - Santoso replacing Slye.

RB - Added Royce Freeman, Chuba Hubbard, and a healthy CMC in place of Mike Davis and Reggie Bonnafon.

WR - Losing Curtis sucked, but Terrace Marshall Jr + Shi Smith could end up being upgrades. Especially TMJ.

QB - Had issues with opening things up with the deep ball, went and got a stronger armed QB. Could be a push if decision making and accuracy are issues.

TE - Dan Arnold and Tommy Tremble replacing Chris Manhertz while pushing Ian Thomas.

OL - The only group that might have been downgraded. Okung/Scott and Reed replaced by Erving/Scott + Elflein doesn't exactly give a whole lot of hope. I'm hoping they don't look as bad as Clemson's OL did last night vs. Georgia.

      Down With The Devils: Series Wrap-up

      By Stumpy · Posted

      Well bois, we gave the Devils their due! Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery... The jersey boys have been trying to jack our steeze for a few years now. They've followed our blueprints and studied our tape. Every offseason, they pounce on our sloppy seconds in a Newark minute. Quick with the puck, ferocious on the forecheck and stifling team defense. Down to the colors, this is this closest we'll come to having to play ourselves in Ole Stanley's Hockey Hoedown. As the postseason began, Rod stood flexing in the gym mirror and saw this guy staring back from the void... (Shutters) When beating us at our game didn't work, Timo and the Tri-State Trash tried to tango instead. Outside of a bitchass cheapshot on Freddie, that poo didn't work either. Their goon squad was getting wrecked by our bantam weights. As much as we all wanted to see Svechy or Staal Bunyan literally break someone in half after the Great Dane went down, they didnt need to. Our munchkins were monsters! Jarvis obliterating giants at the blue line, Logan laying the Stank on dudes twice his size and Blakers blasting Timo into next season. It was beautiful to see! (Side note: Does JBlo wear lead weights under his pads? 170lbs shouldn't be able to hit that hard!) We closed it out in 5, for the gentleman's sweep. Only team in the league to win a series in each of the past 7(?) seasons! And, this was supposed to be a rebuilding year... Onto the awards: Key To The Series : 6 for 19 - .316% IT FINALLY WORKED!!! MVP : 16/180 g/s - .911 save% - 2.53 gaa Seriously, without this dude, we would've won in 3! (Trust me bro) 3rd Star : 6/94 g/s - .936 save % - 1.59 gaa The Great Dane   2nd Star : 3 g - 5 a - +1 - 20:38 toi/g - 18 hits - 3 bs - 58.1% fo 3 PP goals and the 2OT series winning goal! WOOAAAHHH NELLY!!!!   And, your 1st Star of the series : 5 g - 1 a - +3 - 16:48 toi/g - 16 hits - 1 bs - 1 tk - 50% fo Zero, I repeat, zero penalty minutes for the series! MISSSTAAAHHH SVEEECHNIKOOOV!!!!!! Onto The Next: Now, we wait for the Habs to make it a nasty 7 game slog, while we recuperate. And, hopefully, get Nikishin, and some of the other black aces some real peactice time. We are gonna need those guys at some point. Because, if you think the Devils were dirty, hoooo boy, wait till you see what's next...

      D. Morgan on T-Mac: “I made the decision pretty early [January]

      I don’t watch college football anymore (used to be Stanford STH but meh), but my wife is Hawaiian and her favorite color is purple, so I guess I knew Tet was my new favorite player to root for when he came out in a purple suit and lei and threw up the Shaka.
