I mean, I don't know if any of these rooks are shaping out well (even being on bad teams).  And really, we just gave up a 2nd for Sam (the rest of the picks are all fluid post-R3)

Picked up an option but it shouldn't be lost that we don't have Sam locked up.  They get 1 more shot at QB if Sam doesn't work out.  And it cannot be a reclamation project.  Either a vet (Rogers, Cousins, Wilson) or draft (Carson Strong, Malik Willis)

I don't see any of the vets (other than maybe Cousins) coming here without a new and vastly improved O line to protect them.

I think what needs to happen is 2022 fix the oline with the draft and FA.  2023 go all in on a QB.  Defense needs some depth, I'm not going to say it's set, but it's certainly damn good enough if the offense is working.  With a better offense, we could have won last week and this week.  The defense has been very good to great in 3 of 4 games this year.

Passing on Fields due to our evaluation of him? Okay. Fine.

I'd just like to have been a fly on the wall watching us evaluate all the film of Sam Darnold hitting defenders between the numbers in NY. Because the last two weeks we've seen that Sam Darnold suiting up for the Panthers.

No you didn't see that  for the Cowboys game. Yeah 2 Ints but also 4 TDs. Don't post biased stats. Today was his first bad game out of 5.

True, but if we make a push for a new center and either LG or LT, this team is primed for a vet QB the way the Rams were IMO.  I would hope to think a vet QB could help Joe Brady.  Brady's inexperience is also why I feel we've avoided rookie QBs with Rhule.

I still do not want to give up two firsts for a 30 something year old QB. Would rather draft a QB on a rookie deal if we move on from Darnold after the season.

Sam did that in NY too.  He wasn’t bad every week.   He had good stretches there too.  
 

5 games in….6  passing TDs, 6 INTs and put the ball on the ground 4 times.  That’s Sam.  Sam is going to be Sam.   Just like Teddy is going to be Teddy.  Sam isn’t a rookie.  Sam’s issues existed at USC…they showed in NY and they have shown themselves here. He is a talented athlete that isn’t a great QB.

Yeah it's gonna be one or the other.  No way in hell they try another reclamation project if Darnold washes out.

I mean clearly they moved off Fields at some point.

I mean, Sam Darnold OBVIOUSLY impressed them sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much more at a much more expensive price than a drafted rookie, right?

Is Darnold going to out-perform a Justin Fields at his near $5M salary this year?  Compared to Field salary?

Or would it have been better to go with (and draft) the rook?

      NFC South is now ACTIVATED

      I will as soon as you withdraw your fandom from the Patriots. Informative threads are great but all of these estrogen and emotion driven threads you start are ridiculous.

      Canes vs Panthers 7pm

      By Anybodyhome · Posted

      Will be there tonight and expect nothing from the Canes. They are soft and won't go after anyone, nor will they respond when, not if, Florida starts bullying them. Not to mention Freddie is in net. I fear this will be an ass-kicking.

      QB School - Bryce Young vs Bucs

      By MasterAwesome · Posted

      Is this not a bit contradictory?  Also surely if any of us are smart enough to evaluate what we're seeing in real time, a former NFL QB can at least manage the same.  Especially considering he's basing his analysis on hours (maybe generous?) of reviewing All-22 footage which he can play back over and over again, focusing each time on different position groups, match-ups, progressions, etc. which is simply impossible for a fan to fully assess in real time.  Unless you're actually at the game, we basically only get the QB/O-line in frame during the broadcast and even in that limited window of the field, there is simply too much happening.  I'm usually broadly focusing on Bryce, maybe peeping the footwork (or lack thereof) and just the overall pocket and whether there is any pressure coming.  I'm not able to watch every individual one-on-one o-line match-up on top of it to see who got beat, who didn't pick up a blitz, which o-lineman didn't shift to help double-team, or whatever else. I think the truth is somewhere in between (as is almost always the case).  Knowing the play call, audible, etc. is pretty important when judging individual performances, which is why we should always take PFF grades with a grain of salt.  But yeah we can also get a pretty good overall sense of how a player is performing just from watching the game on the couch on Sundays.  I still think there's a lot of value in a review video like this.  As long as you have the bare minimum media literacy to take the interesting insights while also acknowledging inherent biases from a video like this (i.e. obviously focusing on the good over the bad).
