Don't worry yall, Tepper is rich as hell and it's not your money so he can afford to pay Sam that option the team picked up. 

Sam Howell is gonna look good in Black and Blue

Unfortunately, I don’t see how we get Howell with this many wins and no draft capital.

You have never been able to explain why other than that's like your opinion man

I just have a gut feeling. And I am usually right when I have a visceral feeling about a bust.

I see nobody out there that can help us except maybe Minshew. 

Watson even after all his stuff plays out will cripple us financially. 

There are zero college QBs out there that are promising. 

 

I can't see a path.

It all starts with pressure. We have a QB who sees ghosts and you put him behind a terrible o line. How these boneheaded coaches were so full of themselves to think THIS was the right situation for the Darnold reclamation project, and last year for the Bridgewater reclamation project, is beyond me.

I don't agree.  On two of the three interceptions, Sam could have done something different.  On the first one, had a receiver open, and threw it behind him.  On the third one, he just made a horrible choice when he wasn't close to being sacked.  

He has some arm talent, but he makes bad decisions, and has since season one of his NFL career.  We could put the best oline in football in front of him, and t wouldn't matter.

I want to agree with you, but I don't think it's them doing that to Sam.  I think Sam is doing that to himself.  He has slowly regressed over weeks to the point that he doesn't trust anything he sees and often defaults to checking down and/or throwing it late, leading to injuring WRs or picks. 

He can't be trusted to throw it because he doesn't even trust himself.  This is the worst offense I can ever recall us running - he needs to sit down.

Welp guess we found out what happens when Sam throws more LMFAO

    • For starters, and again I am not sure what his capacity is in the media or how connected he is to the team, but I posted above Al Wallace says he is "absolutely" getting 50+ a year and he deserves it.  I obviously strongly disagree with it but it feels like like season when the team is slow leaking info to gauge the temp.   Secondly nobody on Gods green earth is going to sign an extension making less than he is making now.  Thats just crazy talk.  
    • No. Physical tools alone aren't enough. There are plenty of examples of draft busts to support that. Aost all of them had the physical tools and that wasn't enough. But Bryce is a perfect example of the opposite. Absolutely elite intangibles aren't enough either. If you simply don't have the physical abilities all the football intelligence and work ethic in the world won't be enough to overcome it. Just look to the sidelines every Sunday. We call those people "coaches".
    • As much as I despise Billy B, his philosophy on QBs is how I would approach things if I were a GM. You always keep looking for your next starter.  He has Bledsoe, who got injured and his backup ended up being the GOAT. Even while he had that going, he kept getting his next guy and developing them. When Brady got hurt, Cassel stepped in and went 11-5 and they missed the wild card by dumb luck. Who knows how far they would have gone if they had gotten in. Jimmy Gs career started in NE. There were others, but he always kept looking.  You can't be afraid to keep looking for your next starter, but it looks like we're afraid to look for more than a marginal one. If you're going to offer a $25m contract with incentives, that screams marginal QB. It also screams you're just a transition until we find our guy. After a 10 or 11 win season, he's not accepting that offer. And then you're in a Daniel Jones situation. Do you pay for a year of success and pray it wasn't a one year wonder?  To this point, Bryce has really produced nothing, yet for whatever reason, our FO has not even sniffed at the idea that we need a real QB room with real QBs. Dalton was never starter potential, Plummer was a joke. KP certainly isn't, neither is Grier.  Our approach to the QB room needs to be one of strength not fear. Bring in guys who can compete or who you think can compete. This is THE elite position, in an elite sport, paid premium salary, where production matters. Either you produce or you can lose your job. It's not mean, it's just the reality of the position.  And I'm really just tired of our candy ass approach to it.
