I don't think it's so much faith but rather blind hope.

It's like buying a single scratcher ticket for the year. Probably won't pan out but if you hit Oh Baby.

That's why I think he's the best option. We don't dig the hole any deeper by keeping him. Baker Jimmy and anyone else is barely an upgrade and digs that hole.

How does getting Baker continue to dig that hole?  He’s only going to be signed for this year and is going to cost next to nothing in draft compensation.  If he sucks he’s gone at the end of the year and we will be in a position to draft a QB again, and if he’s good we’ll then we can pay him accordingly or franchise him.  The guy actually has talent, something Darnold wishes he had.  I’m very in on giving Baker a chance, the odds of him hitting are better then any of this drafts QBs imho.  Take the OT at 6…

Worst case we get Jimmy G who is a more than competent stop gap for a year or two, could be our Alex Smith till we find our long term answer.  Jimmy G can probably take this team to the playoffs in a weak NFC.

1. Is there a prospect that most scouts seem to be high on that you're incredibly low on (aside from Carson Strong, ofc)? What about a prospect that most are low on that you're very high on?
2. Strongest/weakest position groups in your opinion for this draft?
3. Any prospects that jumped out and caught your eye while reviewing a different player? Were you able to dive more into them and if so, what's your two-line summary?
4. Who was the most fun prospect for you to scout this year and why?

I don't know about most scouts, but Tariq Woolen a lot of people have going in the 1st/early 2nd and I have him as a late 3rd/4th round guy.

Just realized you had a second question lol 

People are a lot lower on George Pickens than I am. I would take him in the first round.

Brady's system was a joke.  It was as if he was using the Madden 2015 playbook at times.  He lost CMC on offense and our #1 CB on defense--his offensive line was a putrid pile of crap. 

I am not sure he can do it even with CMC, Horn, and three new offensive linemen--and the new OL coach and OC.  However, he has never played in good conditions that he trusts--

We can feel confident that he will (if he gets the opportunity) be improved.  Enough?  I dunno.

In the second half of 2019, Darnold went 6-2.  He completed 61% of his throws for 243 yds/game.  He had 13 TDs, 4 picks.  And he was 22.  His "supporting" cast was Le'veon Bell (<800 yds for the year), Robbie Anderson (779/5) and Jamison Crowder (833/6).

That's the guy I want, at least for 2022. Maybe a real offense/coordinator can find that guy or even improve him.

If that guy shows up, we'll have a competitive team.  If not, we'll have a new coach next year and probably picking in the top 5.

Darnold has trouble when his line doesn't give him time to throw. So we traded for him and gave him a line that doesn't give him time to throw.

@Verge

Any guess what type of grade teams have on Howell & Ridder? Could either one realistically go ahead of the consensus top-3/are there any teams really into them? I just find where they end up absolute wildcards and after, it may be quite some time before another QB is selected (Zappe, Glass, Coan, Strong, etc.).

Jermaine Johnson II is one of the quieter presumed high up picks--what's the deal with him?

Any fave LB for us? Muma or Tindall? Wyoming's LBs have been producing majorly and would love Muma.

And ditto on Sauce.  Aiden, Sauce, & G. Wilson are my fave players this draft.

Because he is going to win enough games to hurt our draft. I have zero confidence in a Baker Mayfield led Superbowl Championship.

 

Sam either gets it or gets us a top 5 pick he's win win.

Baker is lose lose.

All of this seems perfectly logical to me. Not sure if they would pick Cross at 6 if no trade was possible. I prefer Pickett at QB but Corral would fit as well although I really worry about his sustainability considering his size and playing style. He gives me the RG3 vibe and I don't mean that as a knock on either one's ability as they are talented, but injuries are a legitimate concern when evaluating players.

And as far as the Baker/JimmyG debate, I'd prefer JimmyG. He's a professional and he's proven that he can at least take a good team to the playoffs. He's a great placeholder imo. Baker is a wildcard and I don't like the way he carries himself. He may have talent but who knows what you're going to get both on and off the field and in the locker room. I'll take a less talented, professional adult.

I don't see him in the roster, even if he's outright cut. We didn't learn anything from the Teddy debacle. You can't openly poo all over a guy while he's still on your roster. 😂

TB was different. He’s a proven vet. Everyone basically thinks Darnold is terrible.

      Surprise! Kon looks really bad!

      By Proudiddy · Posted

      Same, bro.  Yeah, it just feels it has run its course and I don’t know that we’ll ever get more value.  Plus, with the new ownership, this draft has been super encouraging, so dare I believe maybe this FO can get something to really put us over the top in return for Melo.  I’ll still be a fan of his game and try to keep up with him if we move on, but yeah, I feel it’s time to turn the page. (and side note: I felt so happy after their rookie years because I told everybody I wanted Melo and didn’t trust Ant.  And Melo clearly looked like the better player early…  I thought Ant would bust because all that stuff he said about not loving the game and just his resume to that point…  but damn, if we could go back in time.🤣🤣🤣. I love Ant’s game and at times, when he gets in the zone, he is THE BEST player in the league in my opinion.)

      Appreciate that, bro!  And I could definitely see that with Cam.  Even though he’s a little younger than me, he is also someone I admire and feel a kinship with for a lot of various reasons. Funny enough, a few years after that encounter with Steve, I went to Charlotte with one of my friends whose brothers owned a moving company at the time.  He dropped me off uptown and went to work the day with them where I would wait until he got done and then we were gonna go to the Bobcats game that night.  So I walk all through that area for hours.  After awhile, I walk back towards the arena and sit in a bench on the backside of the arena, where the practice court and player’s entrance was.  As I’m sitting there, I look up and almost think I’m seeing things - I squint and blink my eyes a couple times just to be sure, and yes…  it’s one of my childhood heroes, Muggsy Bogues walking across the crosswalk and into the arena.  I think he was coaching the Sting then, iirc.  Part of me wanted to just say, “Hey!  Muggsy!  Thank you for the inspiration and memories!  You were one of my favorite players as a kid!”  But, I just watched him walk by and into the arena and thought, “that was cool!”  I also so Miguel Cotto a couple years back while in Orlando and told my kids who it was but didn’t say anything to him.  I think somewhere in my subconscious, that encounter with Steve really made me feel like the gamble on finding out if they’re receptive to interaction just isn’t worth finding out.  At the end of the day, no matter if they’re receptive inspired us or were a hero, unless they initiate it, I likely never will…  because again, they’re humans just like us.  Not anymore unique or special, they just have a highly visible and very public job that we get to watch and in some ways participate.  So, I just appreciate it for what it is.

      Young up for Player of the Week

      By frankw · Posted

      I'm pleasantly surprised they gave it to Bryce Young over Josh Allen. Finally we're getting some respect. Now I'm just hoping the team follows this up accordingly and doesn't lay another egg.
