we'd have to eat his $35 million cap hit, which would require us to off load Darnold.  How is that going to happen?

If he's cut, you know he's not playing for a "prove it" deal.  He's going to extract every red cent he can.

Yep...I do not see him as not a viable option for us at all even if we thought he was the answer.

(in a "lesser of two evils" scenario)

Same.

 

I'd much rather bet on a player coming from a D/Running Game first team rather than anyone coached by Bill and a Shanny.

Kyle has him looking as good as he possibly can, we couldn't come close to doing that...at least Kirk has had to somewhat make it work, we have no clue if Jimmy is actually good at football...IMO.

Much like Andy Reid assistant coaches and QB's...just say no.

He should be significantly cheaper, and he is younger. When I look at their career QBR, it's almost identical. Cousins probably has the stronger arm, but if he's not going to push the ball down field, then we might as well opt for Jimmy G. Garropolo's win percentage is substantially higher as well. 

Honestly, I really wouldn't prefer either one in a vacuum. If I have to pay 30+ mil per year, as in what we may have to pay to acquire Cousins (or an additional high draft pick), I'd rather take my chances with Derek Carr, or just go cheap until something better comes along.

NO MORE TRADING FOR QB'S!!! They are in a deep enough hole already! Stop digging it deeper.

Couldn’t we trade Darnold for Cousins. Tell the Vikings that the upside for them is they don’t absorb the cap hit. Upside for us is we get rid of Darnold and Cousins is on a prove it year with us. Then after 2022 we’re free of my if he isn’t the answer. In the meantime we get to keep our 1st rounder and find a way back into day 2 to potentially draft a QB of the future. 
 

The problem with the Vikings this year wasn’t Cousins. He threw 33TDs and only 7 Ints. The problem with the Vikings was they were a team built on winning conservatively with defense and a run game….Dalvin Cook was banged up and their defense sucked. 
 

Cousins would be a significant upgrade if it doesn’t cost us years or picks. If we can fit him into our cap situation and offload Darnold I would definitely count that as a win for 2022. Who knows about 2023…find the QB of the future after the team is stabilized and the OL is built.

No, you cannot trade Darnold period. They are eating 18M regardless.  No matter what they do they will still eat that 18M.

Now knowing that what would a team give them for Darnold? A 7th, maybe.

There is no wiggling out of the cost of the Darnold experiment.  Whatever happens will just add to that circus.

A few things here.  We would have to get really creative with the cap and whats the point of that just for Cousins.  Secondly he is going to want a new deal 3-5 years at starter money.  Its going to be pricey and he is not worth it.  Let someone else deal with this headache

Why would any team give anything for Darnold.  Its now 4 years of data and tape.   He is probably our starter going into 2022.  fug you Rhule this is what you wanted this is what you get.   Make it work or hit the road

That's my point. Darnold is worthless to anyone but the Panthers.  They will have to squeeze out whatever juice is left in that lemon.

Rhule made his choice with Darnold.  Now he should be made to deal with it.   Start Darnold all season.  No trading for anyone else.

      An analysis of Brooks from The Fantasy Footballers provides possible insight as to why he's worth the price paid

      By TD alt · Posted

      Sometimes you get very valuable information from fantasy football sites. I found an analysis that you may want to read from The Fantasy Footballers. Perhaps you'll gain an insight as to why we moved up and got him. As always, here are a few snippets: "As expected, he dominated in the 2023 season. He averaged an impressive 2.03 Scrimmage Yards per Team Play, which ranks in the 86th percentile among all junior seasons since 2013." "Naturally, after initially playing behind two NFL-caliber running backs, Brooks’ career numbers do not jump off the page. However, his 2023 campaign gave us a glimpse of just how massive his upside could be at the next level. In fact, Brooks is one of only TWO running backs in this class to exceed 2.00 Scrimmage Yards per Team Play within their first three seasons in college."  "If you watch Jonathon Brooks’ film, you will find multiple plays in which he created yardage with his quick feet and lateral agility. He is elusive in open spaces and has an impressive ability to stack multiple cuts to avoid contact. Combined with his impressive burst and acceleration, Brooks can be a matchup nightmare in the second and third levels of the defense." "While Brooks is not the most physical running back, he does have a knack for absorbing contact and bouncing off defenders. You see this time and time again in his film." "He showcased a willingness to initiate contact with the pass rusher, the strength to maintain blocks, and the quickness to adjust to the defender’s moves. In addition, per PFF, Brooks was a top-three running back in the 2024 class in pass-blocking grade last season. He was also one of only two running backs in the class to average a 0% pass block pressure rate, highlighting just how effective he was as a blocker." "In short, Brooks has tremendous upside as a prospect. Even with his ACL injury, I would still be comfortable drafting him in the early second round of rookie drafts. In fact, I would not be shocked if he finished his career as the most productive running back in this class. However, we just need to temper our expectations for his rookie year as he slowly ramps up to full health." Marvin Elequin provides more here (including video clips): https://www.thefantasyfootballers.com/dynasty/2024-rookie-profile-rb-jonathon-brooks-fantasy-football/   Basically, Brooks has the potential to be a beast, and was well worth the 46th pick (and most mocks had him going mid second round anyway). He's not JAG. Someone had to make the move and take him, and we were the ones to do it. He's elusive, has good speed and acceleration, exceptional contact balance, and is an outstanding blocker. Just like any nice RB transitioning to the league, he will need to get used to taking what the defense gives him, while also showing discriminating patience, but he has demonstrated some ability on that front in college. Brooks' only real knock is the ACL. But ACLs aren't career ending anymore, or even skill ending as evidenced by Dalvin Cook, Todd Gurley and others. We'll just need to temper our expectations during his rookie campaign while he gets back to form. Once he does, we'll finally have the talented three-down back that has eluded us since Stew retired.

      2024 Who would you have picked

      By R0CKnR0LLA · Posted

      2.43 : Jackson Powers-Johnson, C, Oregon 2.52 : Adonai Mitchell, WR, Texas 3.65 : Junior Colson, LB, Michigan 3.79 : Blake Corum, RB, Michigan 4.101 : Ja'Tavion Sanders, TE, Texas 😎 5.141 : Sedrick Van Pran-Granger, C, Georgia 5.142 : Austin Booker, Edge, Kansas 5.155 : Christian Jones, OT, Texas Note, I traded down from 33 (took the Arizona/Atlanta trade up to 35 - might have actually been able to net an even better deal but whatever, I'll go with this). Took the Rams trade but stayed put at 52 and at the top of the 3rd.
