Anyone who watched Brown play compared to Miller knows who should have been starting. It wasn't Miller. Just because a guy isn't starting doesn't mean he shouldn't be. We've seen this several times over, not just with Rhule, Rivera was bad about it too. 

That was one of a couple of bad assumptions I read.  Then add the assumption that Fitterer is the guy making the call on this.

I’d rather just trade back grab offensive line help and let Darnold sink or swim next year. Of course sanity has long left our franchise so we’ll either trade our 1st for a QB or draft a QB at #6.

No team is going to trade with the Panthers without raping them.

Time to think longer term and set the team up for success for many years to come, which means that Rhule won't willing want to do it, but maybe Fitterer and Morgan are reading teh Huddle.  Rhule may be desperate to win now, but that doesn't mean that Fitterer and Morgan will rubber stamp Rhule's insanity, roll over and play dead.  They have reputations too, and I'm sure they don't want Rhule's stench on their future NFL careers, where ever that may be.  

Trade back into the teens to secure a second round pick.  Draft Linderbaum in first, Kenyon Green in the second. Sign either Corbett or Connor Williams in FA.  Your starting line up next year would be very young, but a great foundation for many years to come. LT - Brady Christenson, LG - Corbett or Williams, C - Linderbaum, RG - Elflein, Green or Brown, RT - Moton.  

Here's where it gets painful: Roll with Darnold this season.  Darnold will either prove he was a victim of bad line play, leading to 'happy feet' and bad choices, or we have conclusive proof that he is broken and not salvageable.  If he does well, hallelujah.  If he flames out, we will pick in the top 10 and can take a shot at drafting the next QB of the future.

This will not get fixed in one year.  Why draft like it will?

I've been saying that ever since it became obvious he wasn't getting fired. You have a desperate man with full control and minimal NFL experience to lean on. Every team in the league is going to be lining up to try to fleece him and pick this carcass clean.

And worse yet, he thinks he is the smartest guy in every room

For the same reason there were more CBs on this team then capable OTs

Other than Darnold  potentially being something he has never been, your reasoning is sound and that’s the reason it won’t happen 

I think Rhuke should be told, you wanted him,  live with him as you were stupid enough to not give yourself a prenuptial

why the fug can they just not run it back with darnold one more year?

people need to give up on this idea

Why would a coach, and maybe GM, who are on the hot seat, go into the season and not change the most important position on the field that happened to be one of the worst in the league last year?

Only way that happens is if the owner steps in.

This is 100% speculation about Deonte and our o-line coach. I think our o-line coach was really bad at coaching our lineman, and the biggest victim of that was Deonte. So the o-line coach was fired, and we might see Deonte starting next season once our new o-line coach has some time to get him up to speed.

if Campen can't fix Deonte Brown, nobody can.  But I have a lot of confidence that he will and Brown is going to play this season.

Why last year Deonte wasn't in every jumbo package for short yardage, I'll never know . . .

    • I appreciate the honesty in your posts--I am not sure Canales is rusing(?) because I don't think we are good enough yet to draft players for depth on day 1.  I do think we are in limbo, fwiw.  At 19, I think you are drafting second rounders in the first.
    • We are in a unique situation here. Just my opinion. Three things: Moton’s playing health has been gradually declining as he is aging, while his contract is a drag on the payroll.  Something will give with him sooner than later but I think 2026 could be it.  So.. need a right tackle by 2027. At the latest.    Icky’s individual situation is unique as well. They would have had an extension done by now if not for the injury. We only have him for this year. With no assurance he will ever be the same player.  It would be reckless just to assume. Now we have Walker for one year. And that is a major relief. Maybe he is the answer, but the team that knows him best let him go and it was cheap for us to sign him. So how much did they value him?    We look to be needing two tackles by 2027.  And have poo for depth this year as well. So anyway we could draft a guy for 2027 RT and groom him this year, and see how Icky does, and act as needed in 2027. Spread out filling the two holes over 2 years.    Then I remember, hey if Bryce doesn’t get a Lot more consistent do they extend him? Hoping not, if he isn’t really good.    So then we are looking at the 2027 draft which people say is gonna be loaded with QBs. If we need a LT and a QB what is the pick gonna get spent on?   Taking into account the recovery success rates cited here on the Icky surgery, you might want to plan for him to not be the same player. rather than assume he will be and get caught with your pants down.  It is a tough situation.    And factor in that it is critically important to protect this QB, always, but especially this year where it is said to be make or break. And how you might feel about that.    All of it points to a real possibility that these things converge in the negative, like Bruce sucks and Icky is not the same. In that case if you want to be assured of getting LT secured, the only place you can do that through the draft could be very well be 2026 1st round.     For me, I would like to err on the side of caution.  Cover for these outcomes. It wouldn’t be fun. Added benefit is if we do have a tackle go down this year we will have a guy there. Because I don’t know what we have now.  
    • I agree. In a perfect world I wouldn’t want to draft another WR, but in this draft it’s fine based on the value of who will be there at #19.  All of the top tier guys worth pick #19 at other positions of need will be long gone. Only exception is Dillon Thieneman, but he’s almost a shoe in for the Vikings as the Harrison Smith replacement. Some posters on here want to draft an OT just to check a box without realizing the concerns and risk that comes along with said player. Sounds like XL to me… desperately drafting need… KC is a pretty safe player.  Produced all 3 years in college and last year in the SEC vs a lot of top corners in this years draft. He single handily dropped the South Carolina CB Brandon Cisse’s draft stock with how bad he abused him.   Sometimes it’s best to try and hit a double instead of going for the home run. This draft screams “go for the double”. Esp in the first.
