have you accepted that sam darnold is the week 1 starter yet?

Like if they want to stay at 6, Charles Cross is the guy that makes a ton of sense. Its chalk and boring bc hed be a great fit here. Or they could trade down and try and take advantage of the good IOL and LB prospects in this draft bc there are like 3 IOL worth taking in the first whod start immediately here. A QB selection at 6 screams short-sighted right now.

My wish in order

1. Sign Cam (or Mariotta) and draft Willis.  Play Cam (or Mariotta) until Willis is ready.

2. Trade down (don't know if there are any takers) and sign Howell.  Local kid with one of the better deep balls and had a great year in 2020 when he had weapons.  Still looked solid without weapons and can run if needed.

3. Draft LT Cross and trade CMC to Buffalo for their first.  Use their first on Howell, Pickett, or Corral.

I think any of those should set us up nicely for our future and help attract a talented HC next year.

I've accepted it. just hoping to win 8-9 games and keep building. Hoping young secondary steps up and our new offensive line gives Sam a tad bit of help. Maybe old Robby and TMJ from preseason show up too. Oh hell i'm fixing to hope for 10 games now.

Until the Watson news has been finished, I doubt......Plus Minshew is out there, Winston, Love, Mayfield, Mariota, and draft is happening in a month+/-

 

UGH....besides Im not fully in the Sam Darnold is not an NFL QB group, still a ray of light imho.

Yep, at this point they need to STOP TRADING for NON FRANCHISE QBs and run it back with SAMMY while drafting a QB and hope you hit pay dirt and have success!!!  At the end of the day you can thank Tepper for not FIRING RHULE....RHULE is clearly the problem...unreal..unreal

    • So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?
    • Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.
    • Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
