I have more Faith in Scott Fitterer than Rhule.

If it took two, how much do you think it would cost to keep him for that second year? Being that he had to have had an average year , at best, if you need another year to decide. Sure wouldn’t  be 19M. As I’ve said since April, this was the most illogical cap related move I can remember any team making.  

All they really did was guarantee if there was a year 2, it would be here. Like I said, the trade was a mistake before it even happened. The evaluation process, the bidding process, the desperation, all of it. This was a decision based on faith in Rhule's ability to develop Darnold and that faith was misplaced. I am following their logic, but I'm not saying their logic was ever correct.

And as I’ve pointed out since before they did it, there was no logic applied to any of it. No matter how he performed. If this was their logic, none of them should ever work in a NFL front office again.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By strato · Posted

      I guess I should have stipulated outside the sacred cow.   I complained from year one that Bryce should compete for and win the starting job on his own merit but no he was just handed it. I have been right there with everyone that wants competition.  But I don’t really have a huge problem with it for this season the way it has gone because where are the viable people we don’t have to trade for? I actually am okay with tiny hands Pickett because he is so close to Bryce arm strength wise and to be honest, skill wise. Probably. And it is only a one year deal.  That also takes I to account that the QB class is looking stacked next year and if Young fails miserably then we get either a reset or a real competition and there will be more guys that I would like looking at in the FA QB class next year as well.    I sort of accept where we are this year and look at it as a treading water year. I just want to get to next year with some clarity. More than anything. And they did empty out the room. Again, who was really there for us?  And I know it would not be a true competition at this point anyway. They are giving him the year, like it or not.    Also I don’t give a poo about winning games IF he sucks and or goes down after sucking because draft position and that stacked QB class.  And I want out from under him So Bad.     So I guess it is several factors that lessen my anxiety over his backup this particular season.    I am not trying to convince anyone, but you asked.

      think these smaller Qb's are going to have a much harder time convincing an NFL team to draft them. not saying a smaller Qb under 6 feet tall will not make an NFL roster .it will most likely be a UDFA contract more or less prove it deal.NFL teams have been burnt time & time again investing in these small NFL Qbs & i think  teams are now finally starting to realize that investing in these smaller Qb's under 6 feet tall is simply a bad idea  ...just saying
