I think an ideal scenario is that Sam is still starter in 2022. Spend every fuging pick on offensive line and give the guy a legit chance, and if that doesn't work out, draft a rookie the next year. Even if we did have Trevor Lawrence or whoever, he'd be getting killed too. That doesn't mean I'm 100% on the Darnold bandwagon still. He's regressed in to his old habits a bit. But I think he's shown enough flashes to give him another chance, and I think it might would be the best strategic move long-term. The teams that do well with rookie QBs are the ones who put them in the best chance to succeed. 

Can you imagine if we get a Kyler Murray/Josh Allen/Mayfield/Mahomes type on a rookie contract and are able to do what all of those teams have been able to do? We already have a ton of talent, and on top of that being able to fill out the team with high value free agents. Wew lad.

It’s pretty clear a lot of that is actually on Brady more so if you look at the schemes this year. 

Eh....I mean if you look at his stats through 6 games in Denver and his full season stats from 2020 they are almost carbon copies other than the TD:INT ratio and maybe the fact that he is getting sacked a LOT more in Denver. 

I think Teddy is just who he is, same way that Sam is. There aren't wild swings in statistical deviations just about Teddy's entire career.

It's actually pretty damning to Brady still since he was supposed to be a QB guru who created Joe Burrow.

At this point, prove they can do better on the oline first. Even this far out, I'm not holding my breath that there will be a good enough option for us again this offseason and I sure as hell don't want to waste any capital on another 'not the answer' guy. Build the oline, aquire draft capital and wait to spend on someone special. Darnold can be the expensive placeholder for now. 

I'm getting closer to wanting a new OC that has an eye for QBs and Oline. Try and save this crew from their deficiencies. 

100% agree. It isn't likely we can build this OL in one offseason, it's going to take a while. I'd rather just let Sam get shelled back there if we don't have a better option in 2022. Especially if we don't have a cheaper option. 

It boggles my mind we didn't try and get Minshew. What a great option he would have been to battle with Darnold or at least improve from PJ.

He has exhausted his chances and he is who he is. I am not against bringing him back during the OL rebuild if we can't find a better option at QB. This is a shitty QB draft and we have little to no draft picks. Go all in on the OL building for the next 2-3 offseasons and then try and identify a FA or draft QB to go snag. 

I have no issue with Darnold playing out his contract if there isn't something else available.

I can't say that I would put all that on Brady. The playcalling however.......no bueno. 

If there is a staff sacrificial lamb this season, I'd put money on him being the one.

Plus, Teddy is pretty static in his performances game to game and Darnold is ALL over the map.

Yea he may be a good look at what people mean when they talk about floors and ceilings.

Sams is stock market crashed through the floor and then up to good quarter back...it's crazy.

Ceiling is higher and floor is lower than Teddys

I think Teddy is a better overall QB because you do know what you are getting out of him, as little as that is. I definitely see how Teddy can make it appear he is better than he actually is. Sam is just too frenetic to be successful. The gunslinger types need to have more highs than lows and Sam doesn't have that. It's why bad gunslingers appear to be so fuging bad. 

But, neither of them are what a successful NFL franchise would ever want.

I've been left wondering what he actually does. I mean even for guys like Mike Shula and Ken Dorsey we heard stories about how Cam loved them for helping him grow as a passer. It seems like he doesn't know how to correctly utilize so many of our players. OL as an excuse only goes so far, because how many times has he bought time with his legs and no one been open? We have two speed guys and how many times has he tried to take the top off? His dink and dunk saints style poo allows teams to attack a lot more aggressively.

Agreed. Our struggles offensively have been equal parts terrible OL play, terrible QB play and terrible playcalling. I think if any two of the three were better, the remaining one would be so bad it caused an issue ultimately. 

I get that the cards Brady has been dealt have been poo but a real offensive genius would be able to get the maximum out of the turds they had, even if only so much shine could be put on them. Brady isn't able to do that.

Yeah but I don't think PJ has it either. He's in a similar mold of being an athletic gunslinger. Although we won, we saw the crippling INT's he threw versus Detroit. In all honesty, he's a lower ceiling version of Darnold and I don't think that is what we need. 

A lot of the fans said prior to the season that we were clearly all in on Darnold when we didn't sign or draft a new QB. Barring injury, it will be Darnold for 17 games.

I mean, they weren't crippling INTs.   We won 20-0.   PJ and the offense moved up and down the field with ease. 

The INTs were both redzone INTs.  Something the team apparently wasn't even practicing with their starters much.  Let alone their backup QB.

Redzone INT's are always crippling. It just helps that you are playing the Lions. 

Listen, if they opt for PJ at some point this season, so be it. I just don't think any of us are going to head into 2022 saying, "Boy I really think we got something in this Walker kid!" More like the 2019 season when we ended it thinking, "Three QB's and not a one of them worth a fug."

PJ is a worse version of Darnold the put the backup QB poo is as embarrassing now as it was when the people were talking about put Dereck Anderson in. And DA was actually a real backup.

If the Texans keep that Stanford guy bring in Tyrod Taylor. Mobile and can throw. He gets hurt all the time but better than any QB we got. Look at his 3 years in Buffalo and this year before his injury and also before the lung poke, that man has the opposite luck of Russel Wilson.

      D-Mo on FA & some of my general thoughts

      By t96 · Posted

      My general take on the state of the team not going too in depth is this: Either Morgan or Canales (hard to say whether it’s the players or the system/coaching, and that goes for any team) has been responsible for considerable strides forward on D and a bit more productive offense, but it’s been a small sample size and we collapsed at the end of the year. I lean towards it being more Canales growing as a coach and building a culture of buy-in and getting the most out of players in the locker room. My reasoning for leaning there is that Morgan was part of the Fitterer stink and it’ll take him a while of sustained success in roster management to overcome that in my mind. Next year is a big year to see if that was a fluke or not. These big signings this offseason are exciting and sometimes teams can have amazing FA classes but more often than not those who spend big and “win the offseason” don’t show the results in the regular season.    As far as QB goes, in a vacuum I’m completely fine with the Pickett signing, he’s ok value for a backup and a huge improvement over Dalton. If Bryce went down there isn’t a huge drop off there and if the rest of the team builds on last year they could win games with him under center. I’m not sure the ‘85 Bears could win games with current Dalton under center. But the O is just so damn limited with Bryce and Pickett does not push him at all, he’s purely a backup. So I agree we I’d love to see a QB with some upside drafted, a guy who could actually push Bryce if/when he struggles or doesn’t improve any further. He’s improved steadily the last 2 years but it has been from arguably worst in league history to still below average. I’m not convinced he can get any better than purely average at absolute best. I hope he can man but I just don’t see it happening. And the longer we keep penciling him as starter the less confidence I have in this staff. Even with our unexpected relative success as a team last year sometimes you do have to take another step back to take a step forward, and that could mean moving on from Bryce, and temporarily going with a slightly worse player like Pickett while aggressively trying to upgrade the position and taking dart throws in the draft/free agency on upside players. I know, there wasn’t much available this offseason outside of Willis, and this draft class seems to be poor at QB. But I’d have preferred we try something and if it didn’t work and we took a step back then just keep trying until something hits. Rolling with Bryce is just delaying the inevitable and living in purgatory.    just my 2 cents, hope I’m proved wrong

      BREAKING: Panthers have interest in Deebo Samuel

      By h0llywood · Posted

      His market value is 15.7 million. Not worth it to bring him at his age, at that price. If we were to bring in a veteran, DeAndre Hopkins is available for 2 million market value. I've said this in other threads, get Keenan Allen to play the slot. He's as good as a pass catching tight end and is market is under 7 million.
