Use the rest of this year to work out he kinks. Use the off-season to fill in the holes. And next year could be a start of a brand new era.

 

Fix the Oline, and keep CMC healthy. And this team can compete.

and then crash back to reality when you realize sam darnold is your starting QB

Sam looked pretty good to start the year. The Oline played well, CMC was on a roll. And Sam played well.

 

If we can fix the Oline, and keep CMC healthy? Why not?

he's going to need to do a complete 180 to finish the year out

the turnovers, the tunnel vision, the footwork - all of it. I just don't see it happening.

But he has already shown he can run this Offense. Let's get the team back to 100%, then do a real evaluation.

How many times have you played QB?  He needs work…but he has never had time to throw.  Is he broken because of that?  Who knows but you cant play NFL with DL hanging on you every play

This is the story of countless young QBs that fail.  Not lack of talent

that's the problem - Sam needs literally everything to go perfectly (health, supporting cast, etc.) to produce. he can't elevate his talent despite conditions and he can't put a team on his back.

nothing is ever perfect in the NFL

he's about 95% certainly a bust in the NFL at this point. things will have to change in a major way if he wants to change that narrative.

Its nice to see a fan base tee off on a guy before giving him any chance at all to succeed. When CMac was not injured and starting, Sam was 3-0, including a win over New Orleans. CMac gets injured, several OLinemen get injured, and all of a sudden we are playing musical chairs with the lineup. We haven't had two weeks in a row with the same starting lineup. Now he goes 0-4 and the fan base turns on him.  Soon we get McCaffrey back along with some injured O Linemen so let's see what we have. I am not a fan of trading for Watson, giving up multiple 1st round picks and becoming the Jaguars. He would destroy our salary cap, cause us to have to trade or cut numerous starters and handicap us from being able to build through the draft. Time to concentrate in FA and the draft to fix the OLine.  I think Sam will be fine if we build around him. No one can win behind this line, not even Watson.

As far as CMac, here's a suggestion. Emmitt Smith used to bulk up and hit the weight room hard as well. He began to have some hamstring issues each year until be began Yoga. It is essentially stretching exercises. I think it would be very beneficial for him and his ability to stay on the field.

 

I beg the differ.  Titans and ravens are both 5-2 with with an oline almost as bad as the panthers. Given up 3 less sacks than the panthers all season. And Watson is way better QB than Jackson and tannehill

    • ^I want that, but Rodriguez over KC. Don't hate KC as much at that spot, but rather take a WR with the pick we gain in that trade than in the 1st. 
    • I think there is good points in this thread to what the team needs to do. 1) Ball isn't really the issue but, he needs reigned in.  Coach and he need to realize when things aren't falling from the three and learn to play other facets of the game.  He's an amazing talent and when he's on, he's on.  But he can also shoot you out of a game.  We're lucky Miami went that way but that is too many missed threes.  He still needs to bulk up if he can, but he needs to drive more.  He's pretty good at finishing usually and hopefully the fouls come (probably not though).   2) The whole team needs to be more physical.  As others have stated, we need more bulk in our bigs.  Diabate is a hurricane of energy but cannot go against the larger centers.  I love him on the team but he should be more of a match up type guy or energy off the bench.  I think he'd be insane off the bench.  However I think the biggest issue with Diabate and Kaulk is the lack of offensive game.  The lack of a jump shot or anything.  Teams figured out to just leave them on the screen and crash lanes.  There has to be some sort of threat.  We need a 4 and a 5 that can do those things and stretch out the court. 3) Bridges.  He's just undersized.  However, I feel he really threw his all into it the last few weeks when others were gassed.  He was ok not being a focal point.  I'd like to have him off the bench as well but I assume he'd be traded to make things work.  4) Miller.  Dude can light it up when on, but disappears for quarters at a time.  Also he needs to work on ball handling and passing.  He's a turnover machine at bad times.  Also hopefully over the injury so he can bulk up too.   5) Kon. Just a rookie.  Long season and back injury.  I have no doubt he'll be back stronger and focused.  Needs to work on defense and physicality like the whole team but yes, a rookie he'll get there. 6) Coby.  Has to be resigned, no question.  The bench lineup is rough without him running the point.  Team has big potential and the front office seems sharp.  They seen the hive and how crazy it got and how much the city wants this.
