Nobody talking about Minshew?

 Darnold had all off-season to learn the offense and develop timing with the wide receivers. Cam signed 17 days before the Miami game. Not really comparable situations.

You missed the point. I’m not downing Cam. The point is about how bad this line is.

And Hopefully be horrible enough to get the Bama QB 23.. When he gets hurt in game 4.. I would be down for that if we can get rid of Sam.. But with our luck he will actually get more then 5 wins and we will be stuck again on the Delhome roller coaster..

if you are aiming for the number 1 pick, then you shouldn't want minshew lol

Well, just watched Minshew’s highlights from yesterday and I was very underwhelmed. I was only impressed by one throw - his very last one. Otherwise it was his receivers being wide open or making something out of dump-offs. You could argue his first TD to Goedert was a good throw but that thing hung in the air for about 5 minutes and seemed to be more a product of bad defense. If the safety was in better position, that would’ve been an easy pick or at least a punishing hit on Goedert. The second TD was wayyy underthrown to a wide open Goedert which seemed to be a pattern for Minshew.

That's my point.. He's good enough to keep you out of getting a top pick but not good enough to be a franchise QB you build around.. Ofcourse he will get hurt at some point so hopefully he doesn't screw the team before then..

If that's the goal then we sure as hell didn't have to trade three picks and guarantee a 19 million dollar option to Sam Darnold to achieve it.

    • Ok--I have seen some sample items, and I would like to see something (if possible) measures on field intelligence--maybe how quickly you can grasp a playbook or absorb film session adjustments...Back when we had Morrison as team president and Hurney as GM, I offered to assess (as part of my research in education requirement at a University) emotional intelligence and learning styles of players to help coaches teach more effectively.  Morrison loved it and contacted me about it.  Hurney was not interested, and it fell through the cracks.  My pitch?  If only 50% of first-rounders become successful NFL players and that number drops significantly, can you tell me that you are effectively measuring talent?  Morrison thought it was a good point and wanted to do something that might improve long-term success rates--that would impact the cap management, etc.  Marty, according to Morrison, said he was not interested at this time and if so, he would want a football guy to do it.  (I told Morrison that I played in college and Hurney, a sports reporter at one time, did not. (He told me that Hurney played as a Guard in college--who knew?) Any way, about that time, Morrison left (2017) and the idea was dropped.  I reached back out a year later or so to Marty was still not interested.  A few days later, his wife accused him of assault or something, so I dropped it.
    • Pretty sure they still do the Wonderlic they just don't publicly release the scores.
    • I just thought he was under the radar--but thanks for opening our eyes to him.  I think we should have better measures for intelligence--such as reaction time, angles, etc. Legette is raw as heck, for example, and his RAS was very high.  We used to do the Wonderlic (which was not great) but to know how effectively a player makes on field decisions would be great.
