At what point do they just have to bench Darnold?

His first game was bad, but he has been better each game after even with Nagy. Rookies throwing INTs is one thing, but QBs that have been in the league for years is frustrating…

Nagy no longer calls the plays for him. It’s helped.

It's why I wanted to make the move for Minshew. A 6th for a legit secondary option was a no brainer IMO. We have no one to realistically turn to. Walker isn't the answer.

Should've never traded for him. Stand pat and draft a QB at 8, trade up IF needed shouldbhave been the play. 

QB is too important not to take one at the top when available.

Everyone here knows I was staunchly against trading for Darnold. We had a chance to atone for it when Fields was there. We had a chance to add a legit backup by trading a late round pick for Minshew. When we passed on Fields and neglected to add Minshew, we were effectively all in on Sam Darnold. Now here we are. We just gotta ride it out.

This shows the ineptitude of the decision makers, I appreciate the emphasis on defense, but Darnold even aside from Gase at best as meh. 

The FO talked about QB bust rate, but then trade multiple picks for a BUST QB 🤔, can't make it up

This. Yeah, plenty of 1st rounders end up busting. But VERY few reclamation projects ultimately end up working out. Especially outright bust reclamation projects.

      Rasheed Walker for Kris Jenkins Jr.

      By bandu · Posted

      well i could go on & on but i will just highlight it by saying big difference trust me from the SEC & NFL.it's honestly like comparing apples & oranges especially when you are talking about a  LT. in the NFL you are going up against the most athletic freaks of nature the world has to offer . .the NFL also has much more exotic & complicated defensive schemes than what they are used to seeing at Georgis &  finally but most importantly you have to learn how to master complex bio mechanics where the body kick steps instantly as a reaction to these world class athletes rush without really making a conscious effort it's more of a learned muscle memory  & it can take thousands upon thousands of reps to master rproper technique for a LT in the NFL especially if you are still very raw like Monroe Freeling is    ...just saying

      All that being the case or maybe being the case, we do not know Wharton’s timetable n the first place. They are being coy about it. Or maybe not. They say week to week the board says he is terminal lol and must be replaced. Who knows? It may or may not warrant a fairly drastic solution.  Walker is a bargain and we are not well stocked at OL despite recent investments. Freeling has yet to have a single padded practice. Too much speculation driving this plan IMO.

      I would really love to know who’s actually making these moves because it’s weirdly vague who’s doing the hiring and firing.
