Of course, Jordan is our starting LG and Elf is our starting C---as of July 28 or so.

I think they are respecting the existing starters so that they give the appearance of competition.  I suppose that it is demoralizing to be a starter and have some free agent from another team come in and take your job without giving you the chance to fight to keep it.  Kind of a "king of the hill" thing--

By the first preseason game, our OL and QB should be set.

 

Have you watched a Rhule press conference yet? They haven’t even started doing any of that.

I don’t mind the competition between Baker & Darnold for a week or so, but we all know Baker will be QB1. Rhule needs to make a decision soon & let Baker go with the ones. 
 

They need to let PJ go now. Let Matt take his reps. Find out what he has & see if surpasses Darnold as the backup.

I'm in the small minority that wants a fair competition and want to see what Sam can do with an improved OL and a competent Coordinator..

We already saw, he still checks down every opportunity he gets. It may have been one day, but it's one day that's a continuation of 4 years. Baker is looking to score, Sam is looking for a safety valve.

Give me BAKER. I didn't even fuging want Baker or the trade, I saw it as pointless. Yesterday opened my eyes to the difference between Sam and Baker. One will get CMC hurt again, one will actually allow CMC to run a route without having the ball thrown to him. Bakers ability to see the field and push the ball downfield also opens up the playbook whereas Sam's style contracts it.

Maybe I'm crazy but seems to me like we should want Sam getting reps in practice and in pre-season games hoping that he looks good enough and that he is legitimately competing closely with Baker so that maybe a QB desperate team will take Sam off of our hands. If you want to sell a car you don't park it in the garage.

I personally hope it is a competition.  I know it's popular opinion to poo on Sam, but I wouldn't be surprised to see Sam be much improved.

I can see a difference in his body while he is standing at the podium.  He has a good demeanor.  With an improved line he could have a big year if he wins out the competition.

I mean, I do agree with you about his demeanor, but I'm not getting excited over anything until the pads come on, there's contact, and there are 22 guys out there.

    • No, the casual fan gets sucked into THIS^^^ kind of thinking, and it's so woefully incorrect that it's almost sad. The first is what I've said numerous times, NOTHING about non guaranteed contracts save the billionaire owners a single penny, because they still have to spend their cap floor, and the only reason teams ever don't spend the full limit, is to then roll it over into the next season to be able to spend more that year. But in the end, owners pay the same amount of money no matter what. The reverse is also the same, that the players in totality make the same amount of money as well, because in your example of Clowney not getting that money this year, it will go to another player, as the cap needs to be spent. And you say how we just cut Clowney after we gave him the 2 year contract, but everyone including Clowney's agent and himself, knew when it was signed, that it was more likely to be a 1 year contract than a 2 with how it was structured.  The 2nd year was just to be able to spread out the cap hit and he was always most likely going to end up getting traded or cut. It's why agents and players don't care about the total money in a contract, it's always and only been about the guaranteed money, as the years and overall value are meaningless, always have been, always will be.
    • Agents will have their 1st round picks hold out until the pay structure of their contract is to their liking, not how much money they'll get or even how much is guaranteed, just the when/how they will get the money over the course of the contract. If they're willing to recommend those players hold our, do you really think they won't do it for 2nd rounders to guarantee them an extra 10% of their entire rookie contract?
