The letdown is disappointing but it's good for the future

Yep, let Tampa get assblasted by Dallas at home.

Now, the next step is to trade up with Chicago and draft Stroud or Young

"We need all of these players", also "Let's trade away everything for the chance to draft a QB who may not be any good".

Does not compute.

Not sure what else you wanted from him.

He wasn't the one who allowed the Bucs to score 30 points.

Yeah he had that one pick (which was overshadowed by 3 TD passes for his first 300+ yard passing game of the season). 

 

Anyway, he proved what some of us already knew :  He'd make one hell of a backup or Bridge QB until we can get either Corral or another young QB in there to be the Franchise. 

He'd be a nice safety valve for this team to be somewhat competitive while we continue the search.

FTR, I'm fine retaining Darnold for food backup money. Seems like a great guy in the locker room and he could be a good bridge to a rookie if need be so we're not forced to play a rookie before he's ready.

He went for 346 and 3 tds.

You sound like kriby smart last night

We are shaping up to be pick 7ish.  Bears and Cards are likely to be 2 and 3.  And Seattle's DEN pick looking like #4.

A trade up would leap Indy, Vegas, & ATL.    But could be 7 to 2 or 3.  

That's not a monster leap valuation wise.

 

Trade value doesn't come into it when talking QBs. Ask the 49ers - we'd get fleeced.

Not to mention we now have an easier schedule next year and don't have to play the Bills and Eagles.

Maybe. If we end 3rd we could play 

Rams with Staffold and Kupp back, Dolphins, Giants

Had we won the division the last three would be 
Philly, Bills and Niners

If we end 4th
Cards, Commanders and Jets/Dolphins/Patriots

This was a team loss, full stop.  If you believe that Sam was the singular cause for our loss, go ahead and pull the trigger, and trade away a boatload of draft picks for the first or second draft pick.

Kyler's contract likely means they're sticking with him despite the concerns and the injury.

I could see the Seahawks rolling with Geno. Carroll is 70+. Does he really want to develop a rookie QB? Doea he think there's a rookie in the draft who would be better now than Geno was this year?

Indy, Vegas, and ATL are all obviously QB needy teams.

With 3 turnovers and it could've easily been 4 or 5.

He's better than I ever thought he would be but he's not the long-term answer. There were very few throws he made downfield that weren't his first read. He's still the same guy. He looks great when the play works as designed and he can hit his first read. He's an extremely talented thrower of the football. But he's not a long-term answer at starting QB.

    • I meant write off in the entire class being absolute garbage and that being on Dan  FA was pretty solid but Dan and Brandt handing out one big terrible contract to Turk Wharton. Milton was their top target and the pivot from Milton to Turk while paying Turk what they did was insane.  Id LOVE to know had we not paid Turk what type of contract he would’ve received. 3/30 mayyyybe? This is someone Brandt obviously vouched for.  I’ve watched a few of Tilis’ interviews now. One with Jourdan and one with Yates. He’s a big Moneyball fan. Giving Turk the deal they gave him is the complete opposite of the whole Moneyball idea. They paid a dude who they saw some potential in money that you’d pay someone that has actually made an impact  The worst part is that he’s 100% here next year too. That contract keeps him here until 2027 for sure 
    • Are you kidding? They just now figured out they could use someone else for a qb sneak. 
    • The biggest problem is that his upward trend is still well below NFL average. At some point there's just too much evidence to ignore. I've been there for awhile now. Honestly, it only took a handful of games for me to realize that he just had too many physical limitations to overcome to ever be a legitimate starter. I get that the organization couldn't afford to pull the plug that quick after that investment but there's absolutely no way we should've gone into year three without legitimate competition on the roster. We always a year behind kn this Bryce thing. This year should've been the legit competition year and this offseason should've been the moving on point. Hopefully we'll play catch up but I expect the trend to cj tinge and next year will be the vet competition year.
