Does it even matter who the QB is at this point?

I'd love to have anyone else besides Darnold, but does it even matter with this staff? They flat out suck period.

The unfortunate thing is it’s going to take other QBs to convince everyone that needs convincing it’s the staff.

It really doesn't. Joe Brady has no idea how to call an NFL offense and the OL is awful. 

The offense looks lost on a weekly basis. The guys we have running the show are at best positional coaches at the NFL level. 

Phil Snow is our best coordinator and there are even times when I wonder wtf he is doing.

It doesn't matter. It's the line. No QB will look good or have the chance to succeed behind our second and third string line, who would struggle to make a scout team for most other franchises. 

Sam's looked bad, but I still don't think we can evaluate him. As a pro, we've only ever gotten to see him behind a terrible line. I doubt we'll see him next year, because the fans will have soured on him, just like they did with Teddy and demand a change. 

But until the line gets fixed, it's just gonna be this pattern of bring in QB, QB looks like crap because he's running for his life, fans turn on QB, trade/draft/spend FA dollars on new QB, repeat.

    • That can be a chicken or the egg scenario. Canales knows what the QB is good at and is not good at better than we do.  He would have reasons for not calling deep shots, if he is holding back. They could include protection concerns, as well as any Young related motivations.  I think there always the chance Bryce doesn’t see the man open down the field and it is just that simple, more than a confidence issue. Probably a mix of the two.   
    • This is a partially bad take.  Willis is the only guy mentioned here that can reasonably be expected to perform at a level higher than Bryce.  Winston and Minshew is washed, and Howell was not good in Washington as a starter and didn’t field a single snap this past year. I swear the only reason people are obsessed over him is that he went to UNC.  You’re not going to have better success, or even potential for success with those guys as your QB as you would with Bryce. Now, if you want to argue this thing from a production per dollars perspective, that it’d be better to roll with one of them instead because we could allocate the savings elsewhere on the roster, that’d be a better argument IMO. I’d disagree with it; relying on a QB making less they $5MM/year that isn’t on a rookie contract is not a winning strategy.  But I could see the argument that it’s possibly a viable alternative to Bryce on a $25MM/year contract.    But no, none of those QBs are better than Bryce. 
    • No team hits on every pick.  Every coach and GM will eventually get fired.   We are a better team and have greatly increased the talent on the roster. Bad GMs lead to losses.   I love the teams current setup in the front office and the process in how we look at talent and coaching.  Canales has often said we want to have a player developmental philosophy as a core tenant.  I love that combined with cutting edge analytics and good football knowledge and experience.
