Can Sam Darnold play himself into becoming the 2023 starter?

Wrong. I can go to 49 of 50 states and ask what college USC is and they will say "University of Southern California."

Same with "Carolina." I can go to 49 of 50 states and ask what college is "Carolina" and I am gonna hear North Carolina.

The only thing that people know SC by is the "Cocks."

Having the fortune of being a UNC grad currently living in SC, imagine how annoying it was to be lectured by my own coworkers how in fact nobody calls UNC "Carolina" (apparently even their own graduates) and that "Carolina" = USC.  Basically the opposite of reality.  I'm not one to use this expression other than facetiously, but I almost had to bust out the "bless your hearts" on them.

Real USC is in Columbia. We were a college before California was a state.

The University of South Carolina was founded February 2, 1801.

California didn't become a state until September 9, 1850.

We were a college before California was a state. Factual and true.

It's the reality in SC.

Sad , but true. Except in their own minds..  they will never be recognized as  USC , or  Carolina. They live in their own little world and hope all the people from Ohio will leave Myrtle Beach .  They may hate  Ohio State ,  since there is only one Ohio State, we don't have to put the "the" in front of it ,, they may hate Ohio St more than Michigan because of the numbers that travel to visit them.

If Harbaugh comes, I think Darnold is gone.  We stay put and pick Levis.

DE and TE in round 2.

RB in round 3.

We compete in every game and finish with 7 wins.

2024/2025: back to back winning seasons.

I forget.

Was it THIS Harbaugh who had Trent Dilfer as his QB who won a SB?

Or was it his brother?

Either way, it was in an era when you could win Owls with a dominant defense and middling offenses run by conservative game managers QB's. Rule changes since seem to have made that no longer a workable model, but either way....

Head coach of that Ravens team was actually Brian Billick.

Thanks.

Why did I think of Harbaugh?

Did he win a Superbowl?

    • Right. But you do understand that there is no such thing as not signing free agents, right? That's what I mean. So make some good free agency moves and do well in the draft. That's step one. If you can't accomplish that, then this will just keep getting worse.
    • Sweet jebus this is idiotic Yes, overall team success in this league, you need a good QB, but beyond just that painfully obvious fact, let's get into the rest of the stupid in there......... First things first, you say.. "if we need a good QB for him to have success, then why are you drafting that player with the #1 pick" Show me one time I've ever said we would need a good QB for T-Mac himself to have success... you can't, because I never have.  I think you're referring to the "he's bad enough that we then have a Top 5 pick to target a QB" part of my post, which is very clearly talking about said QB, not T-Mac.  The other way to interpret that is just overall team success, which again, wouldn't be anything about T-Mac or his ability to impact the offense or overall team wins and losses. I'm quite sure I could do this with a number of teams over the years, but I don't want to spend the time to do multiple, so I'll keep it to just the 2023 Vikings right now since you wanted to use Jefferson as your example....... The Vikings went 3-6 after Cousins went down last year.  And two of those wins came before Jefferson even came back from his own injury, they were 1-4 in the final 5 weeks after Jefferson came back. In those 5 games, Jefferson had 31 catches, 503 yards, and 2 TDs Having the WR you specifically called out didn't help them go better than 1-4 with a bad QB, even though he still put up a great stat line for that time period either.  It also didn't make that QB good enough to where they then went out and brought in TWO new QB's this year to replace Doubs and Mullens who started down the stretch for them last year. And that's with 4th year Jefferson, not a rookie that T-Mac would be If you expect a WR getting drafted #1 overall to be the player to turn a franchise as bad as we are around in 1 season, make whatever QB we're able to put in there be successful, and lead us to a solid season, then you are literally insane. We are AWFUL, we have a few young guys who could turn into great players, but we are so far from being a good team, that there isn't any player we could draft next year that is going to change that in 2025.
