Darnold doesn't bother me

What we payed for Darnold is a lot better than if we took Fields at 8 

We don't know that.   Sam was prepped to start all camp and is a 4 year vet. 

Chicago prepped Dalton all camp and then threw Fields into a Dalton offense as rookie. 

Gotta give Fields a little time.   We have seen lots of rookies be disaters out of the gate and get settled in.  Fields might end up sucking.  Way too early to chalk passing on him or Mac as good moves though.

Why are you sh*tting on my post? He is on some Daniel Snyder type stuff. And Sam Darnold ain't getting past his slow release, his slow progressions, or his lack of accuracy if he hasn't as a soon to be four year starter. And if Gardner Minshew was your first option what the hell do you want in a QB other than mediocrity?

Before you poo on Minshew, you might want to look a little closer.

Yes, the Jags were 7-25 over the last two seasons, the two where Minshew was on the roster.  Minshew was 7-13.  While that record isn't wonderful, what it does say is that WITHOUT him the Jags didn't win a single game.

His stats look fine.  On his career, he's at 63% overall completions.  He made a huge jump from his rookie season to his second season, going from 60% to 66%.  His TD% looks good at 4.5%, on par with Derek Carr.  His INT% even better at 1.4%, on par with Aaron Rodgers.

All of this while on a Jacksonville team that was, believe it or not, even worse than ours.

Honestly, I would have much rather had Minshew and someone like Brissett in here than what we have.  But that's just me.

And Fields will cost less for 4 seasons than Darnold will for this one.

      When we have everyone playing like they should, we can win the Cup. That has been the biggest problem when we get to the playoffs, but this year seems to be fixed mostly. We could have had multiple if we had done this in the past.

      Here we go Bryce Stan’s you should love this. Hell it may be one of you.  It has every cliche excuse and then some.  Unintentionally hilarious my limit was reached when he said Bryce had it hard because four play callers.

      JJ & Luke, episode 8

      By csx · Posted

      Luke goes in to the specifics of what he looked to accomplish in joint practices.  Basically they may work with someone on the opposing team to stress something they feel is a weakness in their own game in a different way that can be done with someone they are familiar with. That they can have predetermined stresses but since neither wants to get injured and it has absolutely no bearing on anything there is not the level of concern that would be in a preseason game.  He would also even chat with opposing OC.   It seems like an interesting nuance among the vets and savy pros.
