Hard to say, TBH. Stafford got mauled in Detroit fairly regularly and led them to modest success at times. I think he would have run that Brady scheme a lot more effectively than Darnold, for certain.

He'd also have had familiarity with QB coach Sean Ryan.

Would that have made a difference though? Not necessarily a huge difference.

So is this on Rhule, Tepper, or Fitterer now that there seems to be a little more insight into the inner workings?

 

From what I'd read a little while back (may even have been from the OTC guy, don't remember) what the Saints had done for years has now become more widespread. Teams are maximizing their cap on an annual basis and then adjusting on the fly year to year.

I'm not a fan, but supporters of the approach of pointed out that some of the teams regularly carrying over large amounts of cap space are also putting crappy rosters on the field.

So... 😕

After seeing this, I definitely believe that Robbie is going to be traded. TMJ will finally get some real time.

Don't know about Robbie specifically, but I do get kind of a sense that our overall ratio of Temple / Baylor players is probably gonna go down some.

I love how they think things could have been different if they had a QB but everyone thry brought in played their career worst here lol. No QB would have saved anyone here.

Sounds like no one is safe. Good.

The moronic thing for me was trading for a talented, but shellshocked QB and putting him behind the worst OLine in the NFL.

Darnold behind our current OLine (with McCaffrey actually healthy) might have actually got us over the hump. Sadly he's ruined now.

They're not actually bad players - people have focused way too much on the Temple / Baylor connection. 

Whitehead is the only one you can really argue was poor.

Sam Franklin, Sean Chandler, Dayvion Nixon, Colin Thompson, Sam Tecklenburg... the favoritism is real.

Do you think any other team would have kept PJ Walker around this long?

For that matter, a lot of teams probably would have been done with Robby Anderson after this season he had last year.

Chandler and Franklin aren't exactly great either. More than one person questions whether either of them was better than, say, Kenny Robinson.

It was 100% on brand and I knew the moment they did that trade that they would eat it big time. Nobody stood up and was like 'guys this is a really bad idea' in house. They actually thought they had a potential franchise QB lol. 

Sam is and has always been Sam, he was just at his worst last year after a very rough first 3 years. He isn't good and that goes back to school, his hype was always his athleticism and potential but never his mental game. Hell Baker has been a better QB before joining us and he looks like Sam behind that line, or worse. IDK, I wouldn't take that bet personally. It should improve some but I have serious concerns McAdoo can even pull off a decent offense at this point. 

I haven't liked any of Rhule's QBs outside of the 'bridge guy to put up with while we wait to draft the answer' approach...which turned out to be Corral in year 3 in an epically bad QB class where he gets IRed before the season can start.

I wanted Robinson to be good too after his XFL stint, but evidently he's clearly just not.

I wouldn't have kept PJ Walker around, but QB is a sore subject around here.

      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.
