Rhule "warming to" starting Darnold?

Everyone knows the best football is played early in the year duh. Also against bad and crippled teams.

I don't think we will have to wait long. Then again they can beg Cam to come back to distract us again...

I don't think Cam is gonna bite on it this time.

Sam starting would be a disaster for us(the fans) because the chances of winning consistently will likely be small.

 

I agree.  He was a huge mistake and step down from Teddy.  Last year was statistically his worst season in PR and near last in several categories.  He did better with the jets than with us last year.    That doesn't mean he will be good, just a little better than total ass.

As someone who was beating the drum for getting rid of Teddy and was not a believer in him when we signed him.......I immediately regretted getting rid of him when we traded for Darnold.

What I will NEVER forget is the people last offseason that tried to convince themselves that Darnold was a better move than Stafford(yes this did really happen in the Huddle).

Whats the inevitable?

Following the Rhule trend of the last 2 years. SSDD. We can't escape him or what he does to the team. Saw last night where he was talking up BC at LT after we drafted Ickey. I crap you not.

Not sure how much lower we can go without being subterranean.

Darnold starting is bad for the locker room. When he inevitably reverts to his usual ways after a few games we will be right back where we started. Even the Jets are much better off with that guy far the fug away from their team. They at least ended their season with some fight in them. I am simply so damn tired of this let's start Sam because we have no other choice crap. We do have a choice. He's a sunk cost what's done is done. Say goodbye.

    • 3 years to figure it out and the answer has been the same every time.  Think they will try a different solution? Bryce and Andy lol. I hope so but it is hard to have any faith in them to do that.  The Cam stuff, I don’t think anyone is talking about that thinking he is a solution for 2026. Just wishing we had some of his ability at the position now. 
    • The time adjustment plus this weather might be the only leg up we get. Just run it 40 times between Rico and Chuba lol.   
    • My amateur opinion … It’s that footwork and his overall mechanics that stop him. Short sucks too but his accuracy and timing and velocity, all compromised by his technique.  Not enough natural arm strength there to overcome it. I am not sure what another year would do if he isn’t fixing that stuff. Or two years.  If he could have things straight and squared away he could maybe get enough out of his abilities to play consistently week to week.  He will still be limited by things like field vision and what someone pointed out this week that I had never noticed or considered - trajectory on really short near field throws like goal to go situations. They said the arc he needs to clear the d line guys is such a high angle that it is hard to get the ball back down soon enough. Which boy, that is a can of touch pass worms there if you think about it. Like shooting a basket where defenders can goal tend. You have to throw it so soft that defenders can close on it. Receivers would have to use their bodies to shield.   Then you are left with rolling out to see the field and get a lane, which shuts down half the the field and is easier to defend. It’s really tough. You go looking for negatives, or impediments, they are there to find.
