i honestly want to see darnold back under center.

watching pj gives me anxiety. you just know a meltdown is coming.

watching mayfield just pisses me off.

it's been so long since darnold has negatively impacted my game watching experience until i'm willing to give him the chance to remind me of how he does it.

I have a sneaking suspicion it won't take much for us to be reminded of the frustrations our other QB bust causes...

I don't think it will matter. We're going to see the same consistently bad level of QB play for the remainder of the season (unless Darnold balls out behind this re-vamped line.

I've seen enough of Mayfield now to know he's not only not the future here, I think he's done in the league. His throws look like Broncos era Manning. He never recovered from the shoulder injury, and I doubt he will. I'll admit, I was hoping for him to be successful here. I was hoping for him to be the future here. But he's not the same QB he was, and he's not starter quality, sad to say.

I'll continue to watch, however, because the Defense is genuinely exciting to see. Between that and the run game, we're looking like a team that's ready to make a jump to the next level. Any coaching prospect should look at this team and be excited for the possibilities. But we need a QB, and a WR corps beyond DJ.

He is next guy up so no real surprise. Baker didn't earn another week so on the the next until this season's merciful end.

We should play him out the rest of the season.  We know what PJ can do and, well, I'm not as high on Baker as I was in the beginning.  Don't let Baker play anymore so he won't hit the 70% mark.

    • I agree. I’d make the move because I don’t see us sniffing the playoffs and let’s be honest TMac, Legette and Coker better be our top 3 future. If they aren’t and we need Thielen to replace one of them, then we need to draft yet another 1st round WR, SMH. Suffice it to say, Thielen isn’t good enough to get us into the playoffs so let’s get the young guys starting so we know if they aren’t good enough. We still have so many assumptions about whether players are who we need them to be that holding onto Thielen for 3-7 wins isn’t worth passing on a mid round pick (3rd to 5th/swaps). We’ve had some success with later round picks/UDFAs and need depth.
    • If you move Thielen I think you almost have to keep Renfrow. You need some sort of veteran presence in the locker room and Renfrow would be good insurance in the slot. I'm sure we have Coker penciled in to start there but you also have to be keeping Coker in the back of your head as XL insurance on the outside if he doesn't step up. If he flounders again, I wouldn't wait too awfully long to replace him with Coker outside and slide Renfrow into the slot and keep it moving. 
    • Playing the same role is different than having the same style.  Cam Newton and Drew Brees both played QB but arent the same type in any way.
