And his 3 great games were against bottom dwelling teams who hadn’t won a game after 3 weeks. Same with Sam, looked great after 3 weeks, maybe even 4 weeks. I think Teddy had 4 turnovers this week as well.

I still think Sam has a much higher ceiling than Teddy, but unless he gains consistency he’ll never be a playoff guy. I do want to give him 2022 since we paid for it because we need an OL that isn’t just trash. I expect some bad throws but when you can be under constant pressure and can’t step up or roll out well, you don’t get a true picture of what needs to be fixed.

I would say that having a better OL would be the fix but he struggles as much or more when he has time to throw. Case in point, that INT to start the Vikings game. He has what, 5-6 seconds? Everyone was covered and he tries to force the ball throwing across the field in a position that any college QB knows you can't throw that ball. 

That's the issue with Sam Darnold. There is absolutely no evidence he is learning or improving his decision making or processing.

The problem with Teddy is bigger.  It reminds me of Sam Bradford, and its why I call Teddy a poor man's Sam Bradford.  There was a point in Sam's career where him and his agent realized he was getting paid based on his efficiency stats.  That's when he taylored his play towards those metrics.  Teddy is doing the same thing.  If you look close, he will take some sacks...particularly in the redzone...that absolutely hurt his team.  But do you know what it didn't hurt?  His efficiency stats.  He didn't force it into coverage and get an INT.  He didn't throw it away like he should have and bring his completion percentage down.  He took the sack and changed a TD drive into a field goal...or a field goal drive to a punt.  THAT is why starting Teddy Two Gloves is a fool's errand.  He knows where his bread is buttered.

No man stole more money in NFL history than Sam Bradford.

Lol. Yeah, Darnold is really bad but people forget some of the poo we have seen at that position in our history.

Rhule's plan is stick a stopgap behind center and build out the team so that make that we don't need an elite QB to contend. This hasn't changed, Teddy was just a bad one due to his poor leadership so they moved on to another one. I think what we gave up for Sam was worth it to move on from Teddy so that's not a strike against them, in my book.

I'm fine with the strategy. My problem is that it could/should have been with Cam.

That's actually a great comparison and a great point.

Brock is an amateur pickpocket vs Sam Bradford.  Sam pocketed 130 million.  Brock didn't even reach half of that. 

I believe that Brock still holds the NFL record for $/GM in NFL history. 

 

Edit: It might be $/snap. I can't remember which.

could be per snap. 

But earnings over a career, what Sam Bradford did is insane.  He was the last of those mega rookie deals that no longer exist.

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

      By Cpt slay a ho · Posted

      Without the team having an identity kinda hard to predict what they value.  They either are really trying to build a balanced team, or preparing for another swing at qb if Bryce doesn’t pan out. Seems like we value the o line but the $ spent there has been underwhelming besides Lewis, you could say it’s because of injuries but still hasn’t been worth the investment. as already stated, the whole handling of Bryce young as a whole has been ass backwards, we spent the years we’re supposed to take advantage of having a qb with a lower cap hit, building the team up to be adequate. now It appears, key word appears, the saints have done it correctly, which is painful to even think about. Regardless, I hope the front office has paid attention to qb contracts recently, such as Tua, Kyler, Daniel jones(pre colts) and don’t settle for subpar qb play at franchise qb rates

      This is the flaw in your logic.  Cutting 3 of our best players will somehow move us from whatever we are to "compete". Even the most Young super fans are not predicting a ceiling above top 10-12, and that will not nearly cut it.  Someone will need to break the log jam of QBs getting nothing or North of 50. Our qb is at best a middle ground, lets hope it will be us that also manage to pay the worth at about 100 over 3 years.  And before you jump me, yes that is only of he improves.
