I've never seen a QB have more intentional grounding penalties in my life....that and then him just chucking the ball into someones feet, or spazzing out and just throwing it up.  Hes truly a terrible QB.  Something in his head is broken and I don't think it can be fixed easily. 

The amazing thing was that he somehow got worse here. Which, even to those of us that knew it was a huge mistake to acquire him, doesn't make me feel good about our staff and their ability to develop a young QB. Don't get me wrong, I realize Darnold was beyond hope but you would still think he'd be a LITTLE better than last season.

It was extreme hubris on the side of Rhule and Brady.  They really thought they could magically fix him and turn him into a franchise QB.

I'm not scared of NO.  By the time we play them they could very well be under .500.  They've got all kinds of issues at the QB position.  Trevor Siemen doesn't scare anybody. Especially not our defense. 

Yeah. The fact they are afloat is a tribute to how good their pillhead coach is. 

And we beat them at their prime. I hope Cam is hitting on all cylinders by that game. I would LOVE to go down to Nawlins and get the brooms out on those bitches.

Had we had Cam all season we’d be something like 8-2 right now. No cap. 

To play devils advocate here, this almost works out better. Would you rather be 8-2 with Cam after 10 games worth of physical play, maybe some bumps and minor injuries? Or would you take where we are at this exact moment with Cam fresh as a cucumber ready to come in and take on the world? Not only that but a lot of the current top teams seem to have peaked early and are coming back down. It feels like with the return of a healthy CMC and a 100% Cam we are doing our season in reverse, getting healthy and hot at the right time.

Yeah, I like it.  You're right.  We're sitting here at .500 and now its going to be a mad sprint to the finish.  We can still easily win 10 games.

part of me thinks you don't change what's working. 

he's definitely a good insurance policy though. Bouye and Gilmore are older, and I still can't believe Jackson hasn't gotten hurt. Every morning I expect to wake up and read he's been attacked by raccoons or something

it’s his contract year…he completely understands the game now and is no longer injury prone

They love Sam, and PJ nobody talks about the disaster before any of them even before Jimmy you can't be excited about what's about to happen when Jake was the biggest let down ever!!

      Well that's part of where the disconnect is then, you think Chark was a "solid NFL player" I couldn't disagree more, he's someone who had one solid NFL season and then was at best a JAG the rest of his career, I wouldn't call that a "solid NFL player" If he was a #3 WR and put up the stats he did outside of that 1 season, then sure, he's a "solid NFL player" but he put up those numbers as the #1 WR in 3 of his 4 seasons that he had meaningful roles and the #2 in a high powered offense the 4th.   That's not good and not what I'd call a "solid NFL player"

      Everything always makes sense in hindsight. Hell, I've seen guys who were touted by everyone as slam dunk "safest player in the draft" type prospects bust massively. Remember Aaron Curry? Robert Gallery? I'm just never going to say that a prospect is definitely a better NFL player than a solid NFL player. Better as a prospect? Sure, you can always make those arguments. But ultimately it comes down to what you do on Sundays and what you did on Saturdays just isn't relevant when you're talking about who's the better NFL player.

      And that's totally fair to say, but I think it also shows you guys are conflating what I'm saying with thinking I'm saying something like, "T-Mac will 100% have a better NFL career than Chark had" which is a completely different statement and one I'd agree, you can't really say about any NFL player before they've ever taken a snap. Because what I'm saying, is that T-Mac's actual ability and skills right now, are at a higher level than Chark's ever were, it's a completely different statement that is independent of what his NFL output will be. Look at it this way, without even knowing what the rest of Chark's career turned out to be, would anyone seriously say they'd take Chark after the 2019 season over today's T-Mac if they somehow were in a draft and we were deciding between the two?  As even after that season, his potential was never what T-Mac's is right now. Even with those other prospects, I'm sure some of them before their NFL career started, still had more ability and physical talent than Chark had, because again, this is so much less about T-Mac and so much more about Chark.  A bad coach, system, QB, injuries, etc, that derail a WR's career no matter how good they may have been and is much more of the reason they were a bust than their own abilities.   Chark was a tall WR with little WR speed, he was a deep ball threat and wasn't even particularly great at it, he was not that good of an actual WR. If the Jags had another above average WR in 2019, then Chark doesn't get his 1k season that I think people are getting too hung up on in thinking he was some great player in this league.
