If you could rewind time…Would you have picked Mac Jones? (Article)

No I wouldn't have picked Mac over Horn but I would have picked him over the other rookies if I were picking a QB and I told everyone that at the time. People laughing then aren't laughing so hard now. I told yall he was the most pro ready and would be fine in a good system.

I know, but man Horn is gonna be a stud. And corner was almost as big a need. Either way we probably would have had regrets (not that horn is doing us any good, atm).

Yeah, I like Horn but having a franchise LT would be really amazing. Agree that CB was a big need but if anything, we proved this season that getting elite CB prospects and elite players was much easier than expected. Obviously we didn't know that at the time but it does genuinely hurt the argument for CB over LT. It's a weird downside of that great success the FO had.

Had Slater not looked so great, I wouldn't have buyer's remorse. But, who knows, maybe in 3 seasons Horn is an elite CB and Slater is Matt Kalil.

Well, I mean we already know our backup sooo.....

So what if a year in the system and tailoring a game plan to maximize his strengths might make him better than he has shown up to now? As a backup you get little practice with the ones and the game plan was formulated based on Darnolds strengths not PJ. This week he will get all the reps and the gameplan will be focused on him. Now if he still sucks then you might have a point.

How can you make an informed decision about someone who has only played eight games? He’s done ok, not great and not horrible. This team isn’t ready to bring in a rookie and help him succeed, which is why we have had to watch Teddy and Sam in Rhule’s first two years…

Fix the o-line in 22 then get your qb in 23

to be honest, I didn't read the entire thread, its like the huddle has PTSD and we are just running over the same old ground here. The staff picked defense to fix first and thought the could scheme an offense that wouldn't expose the O line or Sam.

As I wrote before, Horn will be something else but we brought in more secondary help and so maybe they should have drafted a QB. But Horn will be here for a couple of seasons and our defense was terrible last year. You got to like the of Gilmore move to add some veteran moxie. 

so here's my take on the game, if our defense gets three turnovers from the rookie QB. its a win for the coaching staff. Defense will lose games like last year and that is hard to watch too. If we fly around and take BB out of his game, it could be something to see. As opposed we had a rookie QB and they stuffed him.

it sucks the we dont have a decent offense but the rookies we did get are playing hard and we just have to wait for the rest of pieces to be put in place. Imagine an all offense draft next year and have a balanced team that keeps MF pounding for a couple of years.

Spoiler Alert!

 

…he will still suck.

    • I'll vote better in the poll, because pressed between either option I don't think we're worse off.  Even if we're worse next year because of you know who, we'll hopefully be in a better spot for 2025 with what was done in this offseason.
    • Eat a healthy diet to help take care of your eyes. Certain foods, particularly those high in vitamins C and E, zinc and omega-3 fatty acids can help protect your eyes as you age. Aim for green leafy vegetables, "oily" fish, beans, eggs, nuts, and citrus foods for best results. Figure out if eye problems run in your family. If so, you need to let your eye doctor know about it. Diseases need to be brought to the attention of your optometrist. The sooner it is diagnosed, the sooner treatment can begin, and that will make a considerable difference. It is very important to protect your eyes from direct sunlight, so make sure to wear sunglasses when you are outdoors or driving. The polarized sunglasses are best since they protect your sight by filtering out the UVA rays of the sun that can cause glaucoma and some other eye diseases.

    • I mean just on paper, losing Brian Burns and Frankie Luvu.  Maybe Jadaveon Clowney and Josie Jewell have monster seasons and they're even better.  But on paper I'd say we downgraded talent there.  I think they knew the defense would have to take a hit so the offense could be improved.
