I would add that he mentioned he already knows Campen's O-line terminology/protections so that's half the battle really. Now it's just translating the playbook. 

Yeah, forgot that because I was being a little sarcastic, but that actually was important.

Fit says Rhule will make the final call on who starts.  Huddle's head spins.

Nobody's talking about Rhule making depth chart decisions. He's the head coach. It's expected. People just don't want our dumbass owner involved.

I don't think he will be, but it's a reasonable thing to not want.

I'd be fine seeing Darnold in mop up duty if we were like ahead by four touchdowns with five minutes to go or something like that...

 

 

 

I realize that's not going to happen 😕

In the very unlikely event we find ourselves in that situation, I would think it would be better to see Corral in for mop up duty. Darnold isn't going to be here in 23, Corral (in all likelihood) will be.

Wow for all the people who personally hate Sam Darnold for whatever reason I dont get it.  He seems like a really good dude even if hes not a good nfl qb.  To reach out to Mayfield the day after he signed and help him get in contact with all the other players and stuff because he wants to win first and foremost is pretty impressive.

Maybe because he is a terrible NFL QB. If don’t hate Darnold the person, I feel nothing toward the guy. I do hate Darnold the player.

True, but when it comes to Baker and his character concerns, saying the right things will go a longer way than your average player...

I think it was Bill Parcells who said the team that wins the game isn't necessarily the one that makes the most good plays, but the one that makes the fewest bad plays.

That can apply to other things too.

    • if  ANYONE actually goes & looks at the FACTS on rookie Qb's after 2 full seasons as a starter in the NFL & they are still well below average do they rarely ever actually become top tier Qb's & instead most likely either do not recieve a second contract & or become life long backups...just saying 
    • So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.
