All of them are flawed--contracts, injury history, play, etc.  I think I would take Carr (being practical) if he were affordable.

Yeah, they’re all flawed.  Right now it’s probably best to ride with Darnold, as bad as he is, and work on OL.  With some luck we can improve our protection and go hard for a QB in 2023.

Bring in someone cheap to compete with Darnold. Preferably someone who doesn't turn the ball over and is relatively mobile (like T. Taylor maybe...). Draft O-Line prospects like they're cornerbacks and bring in (or draft) a FA RB to help pound the rock (a bigger downhill back who can pass protect). Give DJ more carries and CMAC more reps out wide or in the slot and design a clock-control offense with lots of wrinkles that utilize our skill players.

I'm not sure a rookie QB is what any HC wants in a must win year with a seat that on fire, especially when you are picking a developmental QB.

By that logic I expect them to take a player that they see as contributing over being a project so the need to value may be way off in their minds. Desperation usually doesn't lead to great decisions from people making poor decisions that led to the desperation. I will belive they can fix the oline when they do, I have serious reservations about believing they can. Getting rid of Elflein completely would be a good start in my eyes. 

No, I agree--but when the cap is factored in, the fact that we have 1 pick in the top 100, etc.  What is he going to do?  Free agency going after a starting QB--will he sell the farm--I see no QB worth the farm or the #6 pick---what is Rhule the Fuhle going to do?

DARNOLD IS A CERTIFIED BUST. I'd rather watch the Strong kid take his lumps OR since he is so raw, sit behind QB1 for two or so years while we develop him. NOBODY is going to pay good money to watch Sam Darnold. He's not iconic or entertaining.

 

But how can I draft a QB if I don’t have every other position on the roster sorted out first?

One thing is for certain; whatever move Rhule makes will be the wrong one

      "Floor, not Ceiling" - between the hashmarks

      By strato · Posted

      I don’t know about floor in a team defense sense but we needed more.  The floor that I am familiar with is our QBs floor and it is so low that every other part of the team needs to be beefed up.     We tried our best to improve these things and I think we did improve the defense and we at least kept the offense  from sinking from no LT.  And ostensibly helped the receivers too.   So we kept a window open that we at least have a chance to improve our record by a game of two.  Which would probably give us the division.

      Yeah. I am one of. those who think a JAG RB can eat with really good blocking. (Brooks is most important in my mind, in tbe passing game and that is what we’ll lose without him)  There are a lot of aspects to this. The big one that caused us to struggle is Young and his arm scared no one.  Best back, best blocking still cannot defeat a really good defense if they are not forced to respect the pass.  And teams did not.    But, a strong OL and running game Can get us over against weaker defenses.  And if Bryce still doesn’t scare anyone we can still win some games. Like last year  So it is really important to tend to that OL.   Get that straight and see if in his fourth year he can finally back defenses off. That is what if is all about this year to me, on the Bryce front.
