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.

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
