Clear thinking…refreshing round here

Thanks, but when the Mods see that I will be banned, for sure.

I'm open to any serviceable vet (see @Jackie Lee's list), as long as we don't have to trade anything for them (FA's) and they are relatively cheap.  Honestly, the longer they have been around the better since they can help break-in the draft pick(s) and Corral.

What I am not open to is trading draft picks for one of them, or acquiring a U-Haul and thinking it might turn into a Porsche.  But that was a defect in thinking of The Process that hopefully would not be repeated by a coach that knows that NFL can stand for Not For Long if they screw things up.

Then again, Josh McDaniels has been around the NFL for years and he has given no indication he understands that, so maybe my expectation that an experience NFL coach would know that is overblown.

Might as well keep Sam to backup Matt with a rookie draft pick in the wings learning. Take your lumps and hope 2024 is kinder to you.

Minshew would yield the same results but cost a draft pick.

Minshew is FA next year so no trade, and his TD/INT ratio is way better than Darnold's

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      By panthers55 · Posted

      I see progress and improvements. We aren't the same team we were even at the beginning of this year. You want to harp on the past while I am all about the present and future. Do I know thinks are going to be great moving forward? Actually I don't but I prefer to look at the good instead of the bad. Since he is surely going to be the QB the rest of this year barring injury, I am going to root for him to succeed instead of fail. I always said if we are going to finish at 500 for the year I prefer we win at home since I will be there and want to see wins and crying opposing fans like the cowboys. So far mission accomplished. Now we have to show we can win on the road.

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      By strato · Posted

      Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.

      No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
