They saw a Strong arm, mobile, and young. Unfortunately rhule has shitt for brains so he couldn’t tell Darnold also has shitt for brains

Agree but reality is we didn't know if Darnold still being younger then Burrows was poo for brains or The Jets organization and Gase coaching was the problem.. And we still truly don't know...

Remember when they were scared to play him in the preseason? I think it was obvious that he sucked then. Too late.

Yea, it was obvious they saw in camp that whatever they were trying to get him to learn or understand just wasn’t happening. They saw this and tried to protect him or hide him.

Now I disagree..

I think they knew the Oline was a major problem and knew this would be a result earlier if he got hit like this consistently in the preseason..

I think that they were praying for a healthy CMC covering for the Oline and gelling together with more reps and time would make them better....

They said early they Hopefully be treating Sam like a rookie and he could game manager for most of the season... Cmac injury, Oline horribleness and now WR dropping everything threw that out the window...

He's hated Cam Newton for no reason for years. He should have been off the air a long time ago. He's only still there to appeal to other shitty people stuck in a bygone era just like himself.

Everything they said Cam is and was is what Darnold is. He’s not very accurate, and he doesn’t process what he sees on the field. Now, I’m not one of those people who want Cam back, because I think he’s about done, but Cam is and was the best QB this franchise has ever had. He was a franchise QB for us.

Rhule likes projects and they saw a project in Sam. He probably thought he and the staff could correct his flaws and we would have Tepper’s dream franchise qb 

Not so sure how many more chances Rhule will get before Tepper decides to move on.

I agree.. Most Coaches worth there salt think they can fix players.. Payton is proving that with Jameis..

Well, he’s 0-2 in picking QBs. It’s usually 3 strikes and you’re out, so I imagine he’ll get one more shot. For his sake, he better realize the mistake he made in Darnold quickly and pick better when it comes to selecting another QB. 
 

When Watson and Stafford fell through, he should’ve probably went apologizing to Teddy and tried to make it work. Draft Fields or Jones, and used Teddy for the stopgap he was

    • Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
    • Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.      
    • I think people aren’t patient enough with Young. It can take a few years for a QB to develop. Look at Darnold, Baker and most recently Daniel Jones.   he hasn’t been able to put up big passing numbers either cause of how much we run the ball. You can tell our coaching staff still hasn’t took the training wheels off Bryce and let him go all out. We’ve had some pretty bad receivers as well. We finally got a true number one last year and look how much Bryce improved. Still we didn’t really have any depth behind TMac. Coker was hurt for a lot of the year and XL was our #2. How many big plays or TDs has XL dropped? I think this year can be the year we see Bryce able to hit his stride. If not then we can start looking for another qb but I just ask people to be patient.
