Darnold getting MRI on shoulder.

Oh, yes, this is setting up so comically predictable. 

Everything is about self preservation and saving face. 

Sam and Rhule knew all the details of that shoulder before game. Sam was clear he knew the details and didn't want to talk about it.   He was given a chance not to suck again.  If he didn't suck? Well, they just keep on keeping on for another week. But he did. 

So they IR him.  Rhule then can claim at the end, well you know Sam did get hurt.  Yeah, he didn't play great in a couple games but you know the injury and all that.  If he hadn't gotten hurt we probably could of gotten him back to what he was at the start of the year.   Which was great.  Remember that.   Insert a bunch of nonense.

Great move by the team. The kid was embarassed by his play alone lets try and save him some dignity for all the crap he gets you can tell he works hard and wants it he just sucks. And PJ isn't going to be a scapegoat no one believes in him anyways if he balls out we're playing with house money tbh.

One would think they would have done that before they decided to start him last Sunday.  But that's just me. 

Was just gonna say this is bullshit.  Face saving move...  if the shoulder was that bad, he would've had an MRI before yesterday and not played.  Also, according to Darnold in his presser after the game, he was fine and wasn't limited in any way.

this won't be great news.  This is how they set the path for Sam's return next year.   Only instead of being the man it will be a comptetiion this time.

If you think for even 5 seconds Dave Tepper is going to let that happen again I have some ocean front property in Arizona to sell you. I know we're all mad from yesterday still and how bad Darnold sucks but imagine being the one who had to cut him a check. There's 0% chance they're going to bring him back as the starter next year and that's if he's back at all.

    • We need a Sam Off Ball Backer to pair with Lloyd. Lloyd is a strong Interior Will especially in Pass Coverage- but that is also Trevin Wallace’s archetype. Need a Rozeboom style run stopper. Rodriguez and Allen fit that
    • There aren’t that many ways to screw Day 2 up.  That’d be them making an obvious reach, or selecting at one of the few positions that we are pretty solid at. Because as excited as we are for the growth and improvement this team is showing, it’s still not an overly talented or deep roster. Honestly, there aren’t really many positions I’d feel bad about. Feelings about Bryce aside (because we are not going to select a QB), it’s really RB (bad positional value) and that’s it. I guess OT too since we grabbed Freeling in Round 1.    While not as high on my wish list as other spots, you can justify WR or TE.     Interior offensive lineman who would likely take over an interior spot either this year (at center) or guard (next for cap casualty of Hunt or Lewis)? Fine by me.   Dlineman? Yes, that’s a highly rotational position and we have zero quality depth.    ILB? Yep, could stand for an upgrade over Wallace.    EDGE? Absolutely wouldn’t hate another option to spell Phillips, Scourton, and Princely.    FS?  Would love to add better coverage skill set to the backend of the defense. Moehrig and Ransom are great in run support but not as good deep. Adding a more traditional FS would allow us to mix and match/run some 3 safety sub packages and or a big nickel type look with a SS down near the line for better run support in possible pass downs.    CB? Could stand to get better at nickel. 
    • Sounds like Veesaar is entering the draft. He could always test the waters and pull out and return but without him our big men look like a serious liability. Better do something in the portal. If they don't do something about this portal madness my days as a college sports fan are probably numbered. This bullshit of having a nearly entirely new team every season is gonna get old fast.
