I'd be up for him starting for 2 games (without telling him he's only getting 2) if only to secure the Baker trade as a 5th. Although I'm not sure how much more we have to hold him out. I guess it depends on how much we're passing as well.

But, if you give him a couple games and he looks much better behind a better line, what have we got to lose?

Honestly it doesn't matter much who we start, so why not give Darnold some game time.

Are people really that against seeing him? Coming into the season i thought it was a sure thing Baker would be at least a slight improvement over Sam. But we have seen such bad play from Baker i don't know how anyone can honestly say Sam has no chance to be better. If Baker looks the same vs Baltimore as he did earlier in the season i don't have any complaints about giving Sam a shot. 

 

Now if Corrall was healthy you throw them all out and see what he's got the rest of the way. But with Corrall and PJ hurt I don't see how anyone can feel confident in ranking Baker over Sam, or vice versa.

If you're rooting for a tank finish to the season, why wouldn't you start Darnold? 

Be consistent, people.  If you really despise him, if you think that he can't walk and chew gum at the same time, you have to start him just to ensure a top three draft pick.

Are we good, now?

 

NO. Not only do I want it both ways. I want sprinkles. lol

I just don't get why anyone wouldn't expect to see him sooner than later now that he is healthy so why be vocal about it before Baker gets his shot this week? We could end up seeing both in this game so why make any noise about Sam for another week?

Part of me hopes its McAdoo but to be fair that is the chaotic neutral part of me not wanting most of this staff around past game 17.

      Joint Practice - Jets

      Yep. It was an obvious red flag that a lot of people ignored. The results/scores in preseason don’t matter, but individual performance very much does and individually, we looked like the least talented team in the league and it carried over.

      Sorry, but in 2015, we didn’t look like poo to the extent of 2023. People who said it’s just preseason were completely wrong. Simple as that. 2015 was a veteran lead team. It was Cam’s 5th year and Luke’s 4th. Even our OL was 80% the same (added Oher) as the great run to finish 2014 with a playoff win. That year can be labeled as preseason doesn’t matter because I’m sure we rested vets and well, Ron/Mike weren’t putting in special plays, etc. I absolutely don’t recall a bunch of us saying that Turner was getting killed on one on ones or that Luke was completely out of position or that Norman was hurt again but probably fine. The only thing that was right about the 2023 preseason is that the minority of us who saw it, were correct that we A) should have been making Young and others play 100% of the reps as there was nothing to hide and B) the preseason means nothing was a bunch of BS trying to stay optimistic when it was obvious that we had way less good talent than the rest of the NFL.

      You are telling me Paul Maurice is a better coach than Rod??? Yes!!!  It’s because he plays a better system and has a better goalie.   Our system sucks in playoffs and he refuses to roll with Koochie. Dallas cowboys level poo
