People out here acting like Rhule killed their dog, wtf?

We had a bad year, poo happens. You all were praising Rhule after year 1, now you turned on him because of low expectations.

We could have Coach Bill, and yall would turn on him after one bad year.

Not saying Rhule is good btw, but some of yall are way too emotional about a game where guys break bones over a bouncy ball.

Most people would have accepted just another bad year. But we gave up 3 draft picks and guaranteed the QB with the worst QBR the last two seasons 19 million dollars. Let me know when coach Bill does some stupid poo like that.

This is considered to b a great draft for offensive linemen.

 

 

 

So naturally, we won't get any of them 😕

Not gonna bother to go back and research it, but it feels like every time I've heard somebody say "this is a great draft for Position X", we've largely ignored Position X.

Last draft was a QB deep draft but we surprised them!

You obviously don't see him struggling hopelessly. Throwing guys under the bus on his way down. His Baylor/Temple(tweener, overachievers not elite players not elite coaches) love affair that has lead to a weak roster? We do.

But whatevs.

FYI: Per Albert Breer, most around the NFL feel this year's free agent OL class is pretty weak.

Be that as it may, every FA offensive lineman just celebrated with their agent last night after watching the final quarter of the SuperBowl.

They may not be as good, but teams are going get every lineman they can.

I wouldn't be surprised if we Drafted 1 lineman early and called it a day afterwards.

Even if getting Darnold wasn't his idea, the actual trade was horrible. Especially considering we had the leverage. We still had Teddy and everyone knew the Jets were gonna draft a QB. 

We didn't really have Teddy as leverage.  Yes, we still had him on the roster, but remember, after he criticized the Charlotte Camelot, we engaged in a public pi$$ing contest with him that left little doubt he was done in Carolina.  At that point, everybody on planet earth knew he was not going to be a Panther in 2021.   

If I remember, the Jets were publicly saying they were on the fence about drafting a QB because (like us) QB was not their only need, and maybe not even their biggest.  That was almost certainly BS to see if somebody would bite and offer them a king's ransom for the second overall pick or somebody would call them with an offer to "pry" Darnold out of their hands, at a premium of course, since they may still want him as their starter. 

Right about that time we walked onto the used car lot.

And nobody else wanted darnold.  

That was our leverage.  Essentially there were only two teams claiming they are interested in Darnold: them and us.  Their interest was probably not real since Wilson was going to be sitting on the board for them, and our interest is only kicking tires unless the price is right.  The only thing we had to offer if we HAD to have Darnold was enough for the Jets to decide not to keep him on the roster for roughly $4.75M (including the roster bonus) as a backup and then potentially lose him for no return at all after that. 

If what we ultimately settled on was their price for that, well, onto the next used car lot or the QB depth chart becomes PJ and Grier.  That is an awful situation, but Darnold and PJ did not bring fear to opponent's hearts and it almost didn't matter, because our OL was still awful, too.

So, we skillfully publicly torpedoed any idea we would just roll with Teddy.  Ironically, Teddy's main complaints were likely correct.  And we thought that if we just had a better QB we were a playoff team.  The fact that our OL was awful and we still had other significant holes in the roster from tearing it down to the studs (and rightfully so) and starting overlooked, not only in this deal but on draft day, too.

Not for nothing, but there were a lot of people on this board who thought if our QB was better than Teddy, we were a playoff team.  So our brain trust was not the only delusional group.

A year later, we are arguably in the exact same place.  Darnold is a little cheaper than Teddy would have been in year 3 (had we opted to keep him), but nobody is even going to give us a 7th round pick or Darnold.

Definitely not getting anything for Darnold. If anything we would have to send Darnold and a 3rd round pick or something for someone to eat half his salary as an expensive backup. What a total waste of time and resources

    • Have you seen the mock drafts lately?   Most of them have us taking a QB. Just because you aren't high on these QBs doesn't mean the Panthers or other teams aren't.   If you want me to be real I just think you a Tmac homer and all you care about is us drafting him. It's why you get so defensive when people mention other prospects.   Be open to other people's ideas. Nobody in this thread is saying anything bad about your boy Tmac. 
    • Oh good lord Interest doesn't mean interest in making a bad trade to take the player, that's why I had such a long post, to accurately describe why those are two different things, but you don't like to listen to that stuff.  Being interested in a player doesn't live in a vacuum. It's very simple... there isn't a #1 draft pick type of grade on any of these QB's, if there was, we'd just take them.  You can't bluff a pick everyone knows you won't make, and trying to trade the pick is the CLEAR signal that you're not taking the QB. Just because the Raiders would have interest, doesn't mean they're going to bail us out of a situation we don't want to be in, they'd be smart about it and just sit put, let us take a non QB as we'd be telling the world we're not taking one just by trying to trade the pick, and then they'd take him at #2 (either with their own pick or by trading less to get that one). Oh, and your point of "if nobody is willing to make the trade, you obviously just take the best QB" is quite literally the dumbest thing I've ever read on here. If nobody is willing to trade up to take the QB, then it's OBVIOUS that the QB isn't worth taking with that pick, so OBVIOUSLY taking the best QB there is just OBVIOUSLY stupid and a bad pick. The moral of it is if there is a QB worth taking, we're taking them and not making the trade.  If there isn't a QB worth taking there, nobody is trading up to #1 to take one, we just showed the NFL how bad of an idea that is 2 years ago, it's really not hard to see. You keep making up this mythical situation where there is a QB who has shown to be worth trading up to #1 for and we'll be able to leverage that into a trade.  But we're the most QB needy team in the league, if we end up with the #1 pick, either we are taking a QB #1 or no QB is going #1 unless we get VERY lucky and two teams in the Top 5 fall in love with one prospect and we can play them off each other and fleece one of them. But again, I can't see that happening, as if there was a QB worthy of that, we're just taking him ourselves.
    • Sanders is with Tom Brady brand and that's his mentor. The Raiders owner was with Sanders taking pics at a Vegas game together.   It doesn't take much to connect the dots that Vegas will be interested in Sanders as their franchise QB. Oh yeah and guess who hasa small ownership stake in the Raiders Tom Brady.   I guess this is just another made up Madden idea by me huh?
