I really hope Watson’s legal issues are solved. 
 

Give me Sam Howell or Watson. Darnold ain’t it. Doesn’t seem to be a leader of men, and I think he’s nothing more than a backup. Folks want a Delhomme badly on here, but he’s Delhomme after Arizona.

Care to explain? This seems to be one of the few things he's actually good at... By all accounts he is a leader.

He's just unfortunately not very good for most of the game.

Edit: agree on other sentiments tho.  Darnold isn't really our answer... But I'm worried we will stick a rookie behind this shitty OL with even worse results...

Idt Wilson is going anywhere. He’s going to force them to fire PC and he’ll stay and have a bunch of power. 
 

Who knows with Watson and his legal stuff. 
 

I doubt Rodgers wants to chase a SB wjth Brady in division. 

I'm just throwing out possible potential names. I haven't really thought through the viability of any of them.

That'll be fun when their new QB (acquired in a franchise crippling deal) gets crippled behind this Oline. 

We're gonna have a lot of cap space. I just hope we shop smarter on the OL next year compared to this year. Hopefully Christensen and Brown can develop too. I REALLY wish we'd bite the bullet and give Moton a legit fulltime look at LT.

I was a bit harsh with that. I just don’t think he has the ability to constantly bring up the team and will them to a victory. He hasn’t shown it in his 4 years in the league. This team is missing a Cam like player on offense. I’d argue the defense is missing that as well

Quite possibly both. We've already picked up his 5th year option. We could draft a rookie and still have Darnold here so that we weren't forced to play the rookie until he's ready.

Im just worried if we do draft a rookie QB that our OL will remain basically the same.

Moton is a RT. He's also nowhere near as good at RT as many of you want to believe. He's a good NFL starter - nothing more. 

Don't ruin him by asking him to relearn his technique and play LT. This coaching staff dabbled with it in pre-season and didn't like it at all (and yes the Cowboys game tells you they don't see Christensen as a LT either if they were willing to move Moton off his spot to accommodate him).

That's fair. He's no Superman... Not even close. It did seem like he put the offense on his back in that 4th quarter but it was too little too late.

It feels a bit like this offense treats CMC as that Cam-like player.  Too bad he can't stay on the field anymore.

Jones or Mariota would be fine for cheap providing we draft a rookie. Basically they can be capable placeholders.  

we are stuck with Darnolds 5th year option, for better or worse Id rather just let him be the back up next season due to the sunk cost. maybe let him get killed behind the OL some more before our rookie comes in.

I don't  know what's wrong with Robby. In N.Y he was very reliable as a pass catcher. Very few drops. Did he have this problem here, last year???

Robby was nothing but a deep threat in NY. Last year, Robby was a good all around receiver and mostly running underneath routes. This year, he’s complete trash with Darnold.

Marcus Mariota is not a placeholder.  He's a wasted roster spot.  The guy is so brittle he literally came in for 1 play and ended up on IR.  In 2020 he went on IR before playing a single regular season game.

      Report: Panthers great Luke Kuechly being eyed for big TV job

      So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
