OMG I just realized hometown hero Daniel Jones is a free agent this offseason

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 biggest problem we've had with this team since Rivera left is that we have become progressively more timid. Certainly on offense, but mostly on defense.  Football is not a finesse sport. It isn't gentlemanly. You don't want to kill or injure opposing players, but it is essential that you knock them hard enough to intimidate them or at least make them pensive about every move they make.  We used to be those guys. And we haven't been for a very long time.  So, I hope Dan and Dave can bring us back to this. We need it. And a tough, hard hitting team always gives you a shot, even when you might not have the finesse talent on the field.  Yes, it is a passing league, but scared or addled receivers and QBs change the whole game. We need our grit back. We've been a bunch of neutered Persian cats for too long.
    • A couple of notable insights I gained from this:  - Diontae Johnson seems eager to help Bryce progress in his career - Clowney is happy to be back home - Luke is essentially a FO spokesperson - Dan says he would've liked to have added more talent in the draft, and he seems eager to scour the waver wire for other team's cuts. It's easy to read into his statements that this roster rebuild is nowhere near complete in his eyes.
    • Keeping fit is something that many people overlook until they are out of shape and therefore must work harder to reach their physical goals. However, the work put into keeping your body healthy is worth it in both immediate results and long-term benefits. Here are some tips on fitness that can help keep you happy and healthy for years to come. Set up your weightlifting routine around your fitness goals. If you are trying to create large, bulky muscle you'll want to do more weight, but with longer rest periods between sets and between workouts. If you are trying to develop lean muscles with high endurance, you want to lift less weight, but do it more often and with shorter rest times. If you're a person who likes to walk for your daily dose of exercise, make sure you bend your elbows while you're walking. Doing this will make you swing your arms faster and in turn you'll move your legs faster. Not only will you either finish your work out sooner or go further, but you'll burn even more calories while you're doing it!
