I knew Darnold was a dud from the beginning. His jersey number is 14. When has a QB wearing 14 ever been great? I'm only partially kidding 😅  I still didn't see Sam as a Dan Fouts but thought Brad Johnson was at least a stretch (Armstrong) target.

 

Seriously though, it would be interesting to see a statistical connection between jersey numbers and success--if there is one (probably not). I guess interesting enough for the Indy Star to do a story on it: https://www.indystar.com/story/sports/nfl/colts/2021/02/23/nfl-best-quarterback-numbers-in-history/4555068001/

The moment we picked up his option it stopped being good value. 

We as a team had to pick up the 5th yr. With no 5th year, if he had played good … then a new contract would have cost a lot of money. With the 5th yr, if he had played good …. We would have saved on the cap.

so basically we were in a bad place, and had to play the cap game

but with hindsight, we see that he was terrible. So I don’t put that on Fitter

We had several years of tape of Darnold at the Jets that showed what we know now. There was no way that picking up his 5th year option was the right gamble. We should have put the ball in Darnold’s court and forced him to show us these three years of terrible tape was not him. Unsurprisingly he did not.

So *If Fitterrer sticks around, it sounds like he's still on the drop a young QB behind this rebuilt O-line and pretty good defense, and you're on your way to trending up. I wish we could get more clarity on who made the Darnold/Baker/Corral decisions but it feels like Rhule was forcing a bunch of random win now moves to try and cover up his lack of coaching skills
