The handling of the Sam Darnold situation is one of the worst decisions in franchise history.

sad that Darnold isnt even the clear cut worst decision 

Matt Rhule’s 2021 offense makes Mike Shula look like a f*cking genius. 

Agreed on the bad contracts given out by Hurney. They are right there with Darnold.

The trade itself for Darnold is indefensible. Considering what we gave up, we had no choice but to guarantee the 5th year. Otherwise, that draft capital was wasted for what would have been a one year deal. You don’t give up that kind of capital without hoping to have the player you are trading for for a few years. Problem is whatever evaluation they were doing with Darnold was awful. If they really did decide to go with that plan after seeing Fields’ pro day, then wtf were they looking at?

 

The plan should have been to stick with Bridgewater another year and get a QB in the draft, then fix the o-line with people not named Cam Erving.

 

This whole thing has been a colossal dumpster fire of poor decision making by Rhule and his evaluations. He isn’t cut for this at all. Wonder what Frittner and Morgan is thinking in all of this

Cashing their fat chode paychecks while scouting the next CB prospect to draft #6 overall

The hiring of Rhule might be the worst decision.

Hiring bad coaches happens.  Almost all franchises have a number of coaches they wish they hadn't hired.  Normally, they get fired after 2-3 years and the franchise moves on.  But if Fields or Jones ends up being a good long term qb, the franchise could in theory be kicking itself for years over this move.

They need to explain the 5th year option logic

Rhule said 

‘we want Sam  to know we believe in him’

who knew we had such a humanitarian as a coach…then again, easy to be free with compassion when someone  else writes the checks. 

same reasoning for not drafting a QB ‘we don’t want Sam looking over his shoulder.  He is the guy’.

For us older fans, Sean Gilbert was worse.  Kalil might be as bad.  But yeah, Darnold was a predictably terrible move.

Yeah. As bad trades go, Gilbert was far worse but this ranks pretty high.  And had we drafted Jones or Fields we would be calling them busts right now.  This OL would have them on a Darnold like trajectory.
