I hope we don't continue with Darnold.  There are far too many options hitting FA this year.

Brady, Garoppolo, Jones, Brissett, Smith, Jackson, Dalton, White, Minshew . . . etc.

Yes, we need to draft a guy we believe in, but there is no reason we can't come up with something better to fill the gap.

Didnt I read somewhere that we were interested in Kafka as the next Head Coach? So careful what you ask for lol

There's no real word on who we might be interested in yet. The only potential future head coach that's being discussed right now is Steve Wilks.

Kafka's name is being mentioned in the circles that discuss future head coaches in general.

I was just remembering something.  I went to a Wake Duke game several years ago.  Both teams were decent, and Wake took an early lead, but Duke came back and won.  

Wake played two qb's that day, John Wolford and Kendall Hinton.  Daniel Jones played for Duke.  If someone had told me that one day, all three would start games for NFL teams, I would have questioned the sanity of the person saying it.

Daniel Jones 85.7 passer rating still ranks in the bottom half of starting quarterbacks. Nuff said.

Maybe bottom half in passer rating BUT he's been top 10 in 3 different stat categories in 2 of his 4 years,

 

 

Interceptions

Interception percentage 

fumbles

 

He'll Fitterer right in.

It's a legitimate possibility

 

Sam Darnold is a top notch backup. Anyone who can’t see it is just sour because he sucks as a starter. If you need him for 3 games a season he’s about as good as you can get. All the physical tools, makes all the throws, the only knock on him is he makes too many crippling mistakes. That’s why he’s only a backup. 

I have no problem re-signing him IF they draft a QB in the first round and get him on the field sometime in his first season.

He's had some good stretches so he'll definitely land some place as a backup. But I don't know if I'd say he's top notch.

Regardless I agree that using him as a bridge isn't that bad an idea. There will be other options though, and it depends what he wants for a contract. I can't help but think some of the others might be more interesting as vet bridges.... E.g. Gardner Minshew... Otoh he feels like one of the QBs that is going to want to be more than a bridge or backup. Darnold, depending on his last five, might too.

I see 2 scenarios for how this alll unfolds.

 

1. Sam balls out and we go 4-1. Both Sam and Wilks return.

 

2. Sam continues to struggle, and we go 2-3. Neither Sam nor Wilks return. 

 

I like option 1, because you can build off a strong finish. But we'd still have Sam and Wilks. However, you have to start a winning culture somewhere.

 

I like option 2 for the future. But I hate losing games. It makes building a winning culture so much more difficult.

      The running back situation....

      By strato · Posted

      okay I found this and it sounds like my hopes for the first surgery being not such a great job seems like it could be actual reality.  I only hoped because that would give a better chance for recovery and ia a possible scenario so I just thought it could be possible. Had no real evidence of it. But I’ll be damned.    This is a detailed report of Brooks’ surgery and the condition of his knee after the failed repair.     https://x.com/jmthrivept/status/2055743129408704806?s= Sparked by some very good questions by @CoachspeakIndex, here’s some info on Jonathon Brooks: 1. Speculation that the first graft/ACLR by Dr. Cooper didn’t “take” or at least was too lax, leading to failure and re-tear. Brooks dealt with issues cutting, progressing in his rehab into the early stages of 2024 and then re-tore it late 2024, requiring a second ACLR in January 2025 (essentially revision). Notably, CAR prolonged Brooks’ rehab process through Sept-Oct due to issues progressing into the next stages of rehab. 2. Second surgery performed by Dr. Neal ElAttrache, who has extensive experience with revisions. He did a double bundle technique, harvesting graft from Brooks’ left patellar tendon and a strip of his right IT Band (his right patellar tendon had been utilized for the prior graft in 2023. The double bundle technique significantly increases rotational stability of the knee, leading to a stronger and more secure graft/reconstruction. Also to note, Brooks’ surgery wasn’t significantly delayed, meaning that the tunnels from his prior ACLR were in good shape and they didn’t need to perform bone grafts to fill in (would have delayed 2nd surgery by 5-6 months). Essentially, reading the tea leaves tells me that everything else except for the graft itself was still in good quality within his knee. Good sign for future.  3. Typically, you see a performance increase anywhere from 16-20 months post-revision. Brooks will be ~21 months out from his second surgery by the time Week 1 hits. His knee should be more stable and stronger this time around, with adequate time for healing and return to all movement patterns. I’m not viewing this situation as a typical “Player __ had TWO ACL tears, he’s cooked” situation. Rather, I’m viewing it as the first procedure failed, but the second procedure is significantly stronger and should allow him to return to form this time around. I don’t know why it posted as a link but there it is.

      How can you say they aren’t trying to win now with all the moves made in free agency? Or is trading first round picks the only way to be win now? I’d be fine never trading another first round pick again, win now be damned.
