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.

    • We've never seen them outside of the structure of two very well ran organizations I'll give you that. And yes they are long in the tooth. I do think they are more than capable of getting a franchise turned around in short term capacity though. They are by no means a long term solution.
    • You're not making a good-faith argument by blaming literally everything on the quarterback when the defense gave him a fat 38 seconds to overcome its ineptitude, but it seems you're dead-set on blaming him for any problem the team encounters. In this case, it's not warranted. Sometimes it is. But he had no time to throw (pressured on 46% of all dropbacks, an insane amount) and that's simply not all his fault -- particularly when they rush 4 or less and are in the backfield in 1.5s or less. Should we have gotten more than 0 yards? Sure! But he hit a WR in the hands on fourth down and it was dropped. Not his fault. He missed one throw on second down but I attribute first down to a bad play call and third down to poor pass protection. I would've called some quick slants, personally, but it really seems you're saying: - playcalling: Bryce's fault - poor pass protection: Bryce's fault - defensive choking away a lead: Bryce's fault, not the defense - Horn dropping a pass: Bryce's fault It's a great way to garner support on here, because when it comes to Bryce, logic takes such a backseat to context that it's not even in the same vehicle. Plenty of games can be attributed to him. Can't take anyone seriously who solely blames him for that one. 
    • I don't see how you can logically make that argument when the team beat two of the top teams in the entire league during the regular season.  Now imagine the additional games we would have won against absolute tip top competitors like SF and SEA had we had a professional QB.  You can throw any random stat at the problem you want, but the proof is in the pudding.  We all watched it live.  This roster would have produced 13 wins (wins against SF and SEA, two wins against NO, and would have swept the Bucs) and (almost certainly) a #1 seed with a remotely competent QB.  Those were not games where we needed an all star performance to win.  Those were games where a very, very modest stat line would have netted us an easy win. Nearly every measurable aspect of the team would have been significantly improved with a competent QB.
