Well, keep looking John.

I just don't get the idea behind acquiring him...  its still a retread.  And he's solid...  I feel like with the right cast, and a good offense, he has Top 15 ability, but I worry about his execution in clutch moments, so my value on him would be like a 3rd or 4th, max.  He also struggles to stay healthy, which should also ding his trade value.   Niners are trippin.

As good as we have done in FA, If we don't come away without even a viable option for 2023, we failed the FA game.  Why?  We are NOT extending Darnold as the starter, not even if he actually plays decent this year.  As of right now, we have ZERO QBs for 2023.

Easy...draft a QB this year, right? WRONG.  There is a single play there...new QB comes in and is ready to go.  That works out how often?   Two of three scenarios says pigeon-holing with a QB this draft is setting us up for failure.  The kid isn't good or needs time to develop.  Again, data shows rookie QBs with success out of the gate is very limited.  Maybe Pickett can manage games for us by 2023, but many of these guys will take several years to develop.

Again, we need a veteran QB.

He isn’t going anywhere for that price. Part of the trade value of a player is the contract. A star player on a rookie contract is worth the most. Darnold had more value because of his contract. Jimmy G is coming off shoulder surgery and has a huge bloated contract. He’s worth like a 3rd round pick at the most. Someone might overpay but he shouldn’t be going anywhere for that price.

    • He can’t even learn to run routes. No chance in hell he can do both that and pick up blocking schemes 
    • Well he had essentially a 70% completion rate for almost three thousand yards.  Biggest issues were awkward and inconsistent release.  I wouldn't call arm strength bad, but not great.    
    • I see him being better and most of that is a few downfield passes that were seemingly non existent.    But it is what is around him that has dictated the trajectory more than the quarterbacking. He is game manager level and unable to dictate to defenses.  And even if I am wrong and he is the reason we ‘upwarded’, we are bumping our heads on the ceiling and only making meager gains. If it is an incline it is awfully shallow degree wise. Like a finance graph that tracks your progress and hovers around the rate of inflation. Barely breaking even.  Is that where you want your money?  We make up these deadlines expectations and generally he does the minimum of what he needs to do to hang around.    It does not encourage me to believe that when we get into a game against a good run d that we cannot break down with our run game, to believe that we can pivot to the air and successfully counter their strategy.  But they run it back again. Of course I am gunshy of a repeat of the same thing we have watched for three years.    oh, and yes his durability is his most impressive positive for my money. I fear the other shoe dropping on that and the contractual consequences that will follow.   Last  of all, too late to edit my mistake here but would like to acknowledge it: the last three years has done very little to convince me that I was not wrong in not wanting him. One too many “not”s.
