With Cam back and our still bad Oline opt....I think you have too bring back our reqd option offense with QB1.  Dust off the pre Joe Brady playbook, and let Cam and CMC play ball.

We can't expect Cam to start quickly unless we bring back what him and some of the other guys already know.

It would be wrong to expect to jam Cam in the Darnold offense.

We've already seen elements of it with Sam. I'd assume that would at least continue, if not with some extra wrinkles as well. 

That said I assume the team will be cognizant of what brought Cam here in the first place: injuries. Getting Cam hurt accomplishes nothing, so hopefully they're smart enough to not go full Rivera and adopt an all-option running game.

I don't think it's that simple. The rest of the guys all know Brady's offense. Cam will need to learn that offense. Brady is gonna need to really earn his keep to quickly adapt to Cams style and coach him up in the scheme.

We've already seen some option offense with Darnold... I'd expect much more with Cam.

Dunno about that bro.

This is the same coaching staff that saw pieces of Darnold's brains being pushed back into his head on the sideline, and a shoulder that was kept together with bubble gum and Band-Aids but was miraculously cleared to play a few days before the game.

I don't really trust this coaching staff with those decisions as much after witnessing that.

I'm giving points for the fact that they even signed Cam being an indicator of things changing. Maybe that ends up not being the case but a guy can hope.

      What to Consider when you Draft in Round 1

      By MHS831 · Posted

      Good thought and I agree.  Nothing about this process compromises that premise. In fact, the process involves meeting more needs so you can do that.  If I can get an Edge on a rookie contract when my biggest need is LB, then I have enough $$ saved on the overall cap to get an elite rookie edge in the draft and sign a veteran LB in free agency. If I draft the LB first, my biggest need, then my savings against the cap (when looking at the 53-man roster) is minimal.  I have not saved enough $$ to sign the edge in free agency, so I have to try to draft the edge later, getting a lesser player.  Even if you draft an edge and the roster is full of them, you have trade capital because a lot of teams need a good edge.  This lends credence to the BPA theory if it is aligned with positions that are expensive on second contracts. In the cap era, you have to think it through-it is like a puzzle.   That is why I did not like it when Marty was drafting RBs (Willliams and Stewart) in the first round.  If you recall, that necessitated moving up for Otah, trading away next year's first rounder to do so.  That is the draft we really needed an edge, but since we did not have a first rounder, we took Everette Brown to fill that need.  Then it got worse.  We had 2 RBs on second contracts, Brown busted, that led to drafting Clausen, etc.  If you can get 2 starters for the price of one, that is what I would call smart--not overthinking, if I understand you.  I do agree, but that does not mean draft your trench players first.   It could mean draft an edge and use the cap savings to sign a trench player.

      The DLine needs to do its job too - currently I only trust Brown to do that.
