Not the first play of the game under no pressure. One of the worst plays I've ever seen. 

You must have started watching football this year then. The play happened in the first couple of min it had little outcome on the game. It was a bad INT yet y’all talk like bad INTs don’t happen to all QBs.

It’s as if INTs aren’t suppose to happen when you play QB

Some are inevitable. You're gonna get hit while throwing sometimes. Balls are gonna get tipped and picked. Sometimes defenders are gonna make some unreal plays.

But damn... most of Darnold's it looks like he's literally targeting the defender.

Neither will get you to where you’re trying to go. Looks like the QB search will continue. 
 

It was a valiant effort trying to fix Darnold, but it’s looking like he can’t be fixed. These QBs are going to be the undoing of Rhule; as unfortunately, his boss isnt a patient guy. That and the OL.

Even on that first int and the scrambles no WR's looked open. Gotta be something on tape that other teams are gonna abuse until coaching genius Brady throws some curveballs in

Yea there were so many times today that it looked like no one was open at all.  No matter how much time Sam had.

As a reasonable fan I give Sam one bonehead play a game.  It's gonna happen.  Today our defense made Minnesota look like offensively juggernauts.  They aren't.  The plays to come back and send it into overtime is NOT something OL Teddy two gloves would have made.  He would have checked down three times then force a pass into the end zone.

I look at it this way. You're not winning the SB with Teddy, and you're not winning it with Sam. So what's the point of having either one of them? To have a disappointing season that ends with focusing on the draft? This is QB limbo. Our QB isn't good enough to win trophies, but he's not bad enough to be benched immediately. We can stick with Sam for many years, but we're not winning the SB with him. Not happening.

    • I agree it is more about the OL. If you happen to have a world beater with a great OL then that’s better obviously but you don’t need to have that.  Capable and durable guys that can get to the second level with good blocking can be plenty.  
    • I think Gibbs is special, but you’re right, some of the top investments have proven to not be much different than some 2nds and 3rds. Taylor for example is on an MVP level season. James Cook is doing better than Breece Hall for example. Raiders weren’t in a good spot to draft Jeanty. Same with the Falcons/Bijan.  You gotta swing at the right time — the investment shouldn’t come too early. You almost have to stumble into a guy mid to late rounds while building or find that guy to put you over the top when the team is finally well rounded.
    • Like I said in another post yesterday, the handling of the offensive line by Fitterer and mostly Morgan has been crazy. We've spent way too much money(Lewis and Hunt) to keep Bryce upright instead of using our picks in the 2nd round on JPJ and Frazier. Could have kept an injured Corbett at guard, Brady at swing, and still taken Maye as a backup, sorry Zavala. We wouldn't have taken XL, but XL hasn't been as advertised anyway, and Brooks hasn't contributed anything. Moton's extension with it's signing bonus made him uncutable. Icky's contract was due at the same time Bryce's 3rd year ended, and we all know it's extension or 5th year, and if we're going to do a 5th year, he's going to want the extension.  To me the whole thing is just ridiculous. Right now, depending on if Tepper decides to keep Bryce, it feels like we're going to have to choose between Icky and a Bryce extension. Maybe he plays on the 5th year, but I think he'll want the big money guarantee.  JMO, but if you took a look at how the contracts could potentially fall, the writing was on the wall that this could be a cash flow nightmare. Too many contract guarantees, not enough rookie contracts to offset the upcoming paydays.
