If Young and Stroud are gone

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

    • Option 1 is most likely. Even if he kills it this year, it wouldn't be prudent to rush an extension for one good season. If you have to pay him more because you waited another year, then he earned it. And that's OK. Adjust accordingly. 
    • Cam had the advantage of having a very strong supporting cast his first 2 seasons. Things definitely worsened later on. But those first couple of years can kill a QB. Some never truly recover. If they do recover it takes years, and usually with another team. Trying to learn to be an NFL QB with TEs and WRs that are trying to learn too is a recipe for disaster. Imagine if Cam's rookie season was that 2014 offensive squad. Changes everything! I said it when they moved up in 2023. This team wasn't ready for a rookie QB yet. Anyone that thinks Stroud would have been a lot better is delusional. The correct formula is to build a strong team and then you go get your rookie QB. Not the other way around. BY is going into his third season and we're still trying to put a respectable group of WRs and TEs around him. I think they have the right personnel now. Unfortunately they haven't developed into actual NFL players yet.  This season we should expect consistency and aggressiveness from BY. Mostly for his development but also to DEVELOP his young cast.
    • It is goofy how some people hate Bryce so much that they're flat out lying to try and remain entitled to their pessimism. It's insanity. Most fans are realists and eagerly awaiting the season to see if we get pre- or post-benching Bryce to start the season and how much he is able to do with some young and developing weapons. Many of us understand that these young guys are going to have growing pains on the job as well as the new defense, but the fans with all of the excuses for why Bryce can't be successful are pounding the no excuses drum. Personally, I'd prefer the Keep Pounding drum.
