Im fine rolling with Sam. Live or die with Darnold. 

I actually have hope that he will have a decent season this year. Kid still young. 

Could you imagine if he came out and put up a good season behind an actual OLine and took us to a winning record?

The Huddle wouldn't know how to handle it - they've been toxic about the guy from day 1.

Toxicity towards Sam since day 1 is deserved, especially so far in hindsight. Personally, I don't think Darnold is a good QB and the only way he can get us to a winning record, is with a roster that can baby him - a lot of handoffs to a healthy CMC and checkdowns. A control the game type of offense with a stout defense that rarely plays from behind. I don't think there are many teams, or many coaches, in the NFL that can provide an environment where Sam could "succeed".

So did Snow talk too?

Didn't say much besides Wilks wants to keep Chinn at Safety, and mentioning a bunch of LB's coming off the edge to replace Reddicks snaps. Which seems odd considering we were getting demolished in the run game last year playing lighter guys on the edges

"The way it is in the building right now, Sam is our starting quarterback" 

That quote doesn't mean poo if the building changes when we get another QB be it a rookie or Baker. 

Exactly he had to say that what else is he gonna say! IMO i really believe there gonna trade down from 6 because i can't see Fitty sitting around with no day 2 picks and draft a QB this year in the first round!

I would be the happiest drunk SOB in the joint.  I would dance my ass off if he miraculously took this team to the NFC championship game...

But then I woke up.

I hope that's a smokescreen.  If not, expect to get ran all over.

Yeah I know Luvu is pretty good in that role, but wasn't expecting Luvu/Shaq/and Chinn to be his answer to losing a guy that basically played DE in a 4 man front. No problem with those guys blitzing with more traditional DE's on the line, or just go 3/4 if you want to send guys that light constantly

I honestly hadn't heard of half the guys he mentioned that we signed.  I'm getting old. 

I get what he's saying and if it works they may just might make it work.  They have edge rushers, they just haven't gotten much playing time for one reason or another.  Depth is an issue as he repeatedly said. So have I by the way. The war of attrition is a big factor in success.

That's revisionist history.  Sure some people have hated the trade since day 1.  But, plenty of people around here were overly optimistic about him last Summer.  Things didn't get fully "toxic" until he started stinking it up bad.

Yeah he also mentioned Cory Littleton, another LB. I'm hoping YGM actually gets some snaps because he has the size we need to seal the edge in the run game. We've been developing bad habits not playing our draft picks enough in favor of journeymen FA's.

      I have more faith in XL improving than I do in Tmac being a true number 1 recuever

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      Round 1. TMac arguably the best WR in the draft Round 2. Scour ton mentioned as a possible 1st round edge.     Texas A&M did not use him the same way Purdue did. After the 2023 season he was listed as a first round grade. I believe had Texas A&M used him like they did at Purdue he never makes it out of round 1. Round 3 Princely Umanmielen, we'll go by Princely.  Another highly graded player we got in a lower round. As the video suggests, even if he plays only on passing down it's a positive. Give him a couple of years to develop a he could be a three down player.  Round 4a Etienne IMO a huge upgrade over Blackshear. I can see him in a similar role as CMC without the heavy workload. He can run in between the tackles and has some shifty moves. Give Canales some flexibility. A fellow huddler pointed out UGA running backs don't see the field if they cannot pick up the blitz. Really good pick. Round 4b Ransom a hard hitting safety that has played three different positions on defense. Great pick Round 5a Cam Jackson a massive NT in round 5. I believe a solid rotational pick in a lower round. We added a beast that could make offenses quiver when he's lined up with Brown. Great Value  Round 5b Evans This is another player that can block and has good hands. He also had better seasons before 2024. As a rookie he's probably leaps and bounds better than Ian Thomas. I think he gives us a three headed monster at TE.  Round 6 Horn Jr. Many believe he's just going to be a KR/PR player. I believe there are going to be packages for him to get on the field as a WR. His speed with TMac and Thielen in the slot could be special. I'm really looking forward to seeing him in training camp. I've watched some film and he is very explosive.  Overall I love our picks. I honestly believe all of them will contribute this season. I don't believe we reached on one player in this draft.  This weekend we get a small look at these rookies

      You joke, but hasn't basically the whole team been in Charlotte this past week together? I'm not one to see the random dumb stuff players put out on social media in the offseason and think it means that's ALL they've been doing and not working on their game.  But it's a little strange that all this is coming out at the same time we're seeing tons of stuff with the team in Charlotte together, even if it's just working out and not even official team OTA's or anything. So he gets a pass from me saying anything now, but if he doesn't show clear improvement this season, it then opens him up to some retroactive criticism for some things.
