CMC just got activated and Sam cleared the protocols.

You'd think since CMC has only played a handful of the 24 games with this coaching staff they would have adjusted a little better. For a rebuilding staff they sure like to bank on short term success with no backup plans when someone goes down

Yep. Either they don't think they're rebuilding or they just suck at doing so.

This staff seems to think we have the depth to just plug guys in with no fall-off. We do not.

Lol. They drafted a running back in the fourth round and wavered a power back from Denver. They did have a backup plan for CMC potentially missing time. Matter of fact, it’s the one position you can say we absolutely prepared as if we knew CMC could get hurt.

And proceeded to run the ball like 15 times a game until the losses/media scorn forced them to actually use the backups. I didn't mean backup player plans I meant backup play calling plans

The problem is Rhule is looking for a shortcut.  He's trying to avoid the investment of a first round pick to solidify the QB spot. It is a mistake.  I get why they went with TB actually given the Brady connection, but they should really have just gone with their favorite QB at our spot, unless they were really sure none were going to be good.  Just feels like a mistake to neglect QB like this...

Which 1st round QB are you putting behind this Oline?

Jones would die. Fields would develop bad habits. 

Darnold is no less talented than either - he was progressing nicely in those first three games before the hits started to add up. Going to a run-first offence is the only sensible solution to addressing our Oline problems this season and perhaps allows Darnold to still be salvageable.

One player especially a RB absents, should not make Donald play so poorly. He has a good group of WR and other players around him. He makes bad decision, not so accurate, and hang on to the ball to long, which has nothing to do with CMC being absent. I have questioned brady also but starting to think Donald is holding him back from opening up the play book more. Rule have stated having packages for Donald. This is why we see the same plays repeatedly called. 

I don’t recall Rhule saying that and I listen to just about every press conference. I do recall a couple weeks ago Rhule saying the playbook was limited for protection concerns but not because of Sam.

Sam Darnold isn’t good at playing QB though. There is a long long long list of guys with better raw physical talent than Tom Brady and they can’t even occupy a practice squad spot.  

The want of going to a run offense is because Sam isn’t a starting caliber QB.  That isn’t much of a debate anymore.  

Mac Jones wouldn’t die.  He processes things quick and can get the ball out.   His physical tools give him a low ceiling.  But he already is a better QB than Sam.   That helps a OL.  Bad QBs like Sam make OLs worse.

All offseason they said they needed to make it so Darnold didn't have to do everything. Then when the OL struggled mightily and CMC went down Brady expected him to be Brees all of a sudden.

We would be 6-2 with a very average yet efficient QB.   Sam isn’t being asked to be Brees.  Sam can’t do basics which ends up putting more and more stress on the O (thus himself) 

We would be 6-2 with freaking Teddy.

If Darnold's shoulder is just sore and bruised, he'll start.  If it's anything structural with the shoulder, I doubt he plays.  He seems like a pretty tough dude that can play through pain.  It wouldn't be smart to let him play if there can be lingering or worsening damage to it though.

      It is time to Consider the Likelihood of WR at #19

      By Chief Keek · Posted

      The only WR that makes sense in the first is KC Concepcion. He fills multiple roles in the offense and is a PR specialist.

      By TD alt · Posted

      That depends upon what happens with receiver this year and what happens with free agency next year. Hopefully we'll be good by addressing receiver this year (regardless of whether we snag one in the first round or not). If we don't and are unlucky enough for to Coker get hurt (and X solidifies his bust status, and JAGs be JAGing), then we may be fùçked! But I assume that Dan Morgan and company will feel compelled to look for answers in free agency and use that to set up the draft just like this offseason.  Reality is not as simple as we drafted this position X times in a row in the first. If you're suggesting that we could draft a position in the first four times in a row, that's not likely. At some point probability has to be taken into account. I mean, how many years in a row can you be unlucky with one position?  As I've said at times before, you try and plan for the long term personnel-wise and cap-wise of course, but things happen so, in a sense, you still must look at each season--each "team" if you will--unto itself each season. So many things can happen between now and then. A major industry can profoundly impact the bigger picture (like this year), someone could offer you a trade proposal that you can't resist, players might not have progressed to your expectations--you know, things like that. Moreover, you have to be aware of the dynamics of each draft class, including the fact that there could be unexpected draft risers and fallers during the college season. That's a lot. As of today, we expect the 2027 draft to have more exclamations than question marks at OT and the QB class and WR group is expected to be exceptionally strong. We'll have a clearer picture of whatever we'll have to focus on next year at this time.  Lastly, keep in mind that there's always more than one way to get you to where you want to go. The yearly puzzle is not static, it's dynamic and complex.

      Emanuel McNeil Warren + Jacob Rodriguez

      By Chief Keek · Posted

      I'm fine with Thieneman or McNeil-Warren.. Rodriguez won't last until 51 so they would have to trade up, he may end up being a late first round selection. Anthony Hill Jr. is more likely to be available. I don't expect defense in the first round now after the murmurings of finding another weapon for Bryce.
