Seeing alot of hype around both of them this year....never would have guessed the qbs panthers got rid of would be succeeding while the qb they traded everything to get is historically bad.  Crazy to think about. Another ex panther kyleallen is expected to be a fa soon....

Succeeding?

 

Bro Baker won a bad division and lucked into the playoffs beating an Eagles team who were playing some of the worst football at the end of the season. These dudes aren't going to be a factor this year. 

 I agree, but they’ll be more of a factor than us lol

Darnold has once again proven that shoving a rabbit's foot up your own asshole is a valid employment strategy.

The Vikings are fuged. Hard.

As for Mayfield, he has always been an "above average ceiling" guy. It's completely a matter of his circumstances allowing that limited ceiling to happen.

Does that work....? Asking for a friend as I search my dresser drawer for an old rabbits foot and some vasoline

I’m the dumbass that sees something in Darnold. I stayed far away inn 2020 and 2021, thought I could give it up (so I didn’t see things like y’all did) 

Did not like Tepper’s style at all, and there were other reasons too, but Tepper cinched it. 

But I grew up with it. Slowly sucked back in. Man, it has gotten SO much worse.

I mean, he meets all the physical requirements.  He's pretty athletic.  Big arm, can move around in the pocket.   Can be pretty accurate.

He just doesn't have it between the ears.  He's very prone to panicking when under pressure.  He doesn't play with enough confidence.  One mistake can easily send him spiraling out of control.

I’m a sucker for tools in a QB. And protoypical size. He might get a real chance, I don’t think he was in any good situations.  2022 was a clusterfug with Mayfield coming in. 

Not Mayfield is a guy I didn’t believe in. But he showed some good I didn’t see. 

 

Not THAT much good, but I respect him more than I did for sure.

Mayfield is a decent not great qb, who had far and away his worst stretch of NFL football with us.  Cleveland and Tampa both won games with him, we looked horrid with him.  That says something about our team and staff that were around him.  

As far as Darnold, he has always been a guy who looks good most of the time, but makes critical mistakes that cost his team the game.

Baker's worst enemy was his ego until this team destroyed it. An OC should be able to work with him to be in a playoff hunt, not a real contender but a playoff appearance should be doable with his talent. Some good, some bad and some meh.

Darnold is the kind of #2 his team should pray he doesn't ever have to play. He won't last long in Minnesota as a starter, he just never developed the mental side of his game. He looks like a sacrificail lamb to buy time IMO. If they are serious up there then it's going to be a real poo show.

Darnold has every tool needed to succeed, except the calm and critical decision making. He’s a big guy who moves relatively well and can make every throw with decent accuracy. I still think he could make one hell of a system QB with a TE who is always open. With his arm, his dump off is a 20 yd laser to a TE.

Darnold has about 10-20% wow plays but the rest of the game he is missing reads, holding onto the ball too long and making absolutely crippling decisions. 

If Bryce was pitched as a supercomputer, Darnold is a calculator watch. The disparity between his brain and his athletic ability is one of the biggest I have ever seen.

      I appreciate the honesty in your posts--I am not sure Canales is rusing(?) because I don't think we are good enough yet to draft players for depth on day 1.  I do think we are in limbo, fwiw.  At 19, I think you are drafting second rounders in the first.

      It is time to Consider the Likelihood of WR at #19

      By strato · Posted

      We are in a unique situation here. Just my opinion. Three things: Moton’s playing health has been gradually declining as he is aging, while his contract is a drag on the payroll.  Something will give with him sooner than later but I think 2026 could be it.  So.. need a right tackle by 2027. At the latest.    Icky’s individual situation is unique as well. They would have had an extension done by now if not for the injury. We only have him for this year. With no assurance he will ever be the same player.  It would be reckless just to assume. Now we have Walker for one year. And that is a major relief. Maybe he is the answer, but the team that knows him best let him go and it was cheap for us to sign him. So how much did they value him?    We look to be needing two tackles by 2027.  And have poo for depth this year as well. So anyway we could draft a guy for 2027 RT and groom him this year, and see how Icky does, and act as needed in 2027. Spread out filling the two holes over 2 years.    Then I remember, hey if Bryce doesn’t get a Lot more consistent do they extend him? Hoping not, if he isn’t really good.    So then we are looking at the 2027 draft which people say is gonna be loaded with QBs. If we need a LT and a QB what is the pick gonna get spent on?   Taking into account the recovery success rates cited here on the Icky surgery, you might want to plan for him to not be the same player. rather than assume he will be and get caught with your pants down.  It is a tough situation.    And factor in that it is critically important to protect this QB, always, but especially this year where it is said to be make or break. And how you might feel about that.    All of it points to a real possibility that these things converge in the negative, like Bruce sucks and Icky is not the same. In that case if you want to be assured of getting LT secured, the only place you can do that through the draft could be very well be 2026 1st round.     For me, I would like to err on the side of caution.  Cover for these outcomes. It wouldn’t be fun. Added benefit is if we do have a tackle go down this year we will have a guy there. Because I don’t know what we have now.

      Mike Kaye: “I would keep a pretty close eye on {KC Concepcion}.”

      I agree. In a perfect world I wouldn’t want to draft another WR, but in this draft it’s fine based on the value of who will be there at #19.  All of the top tier guys worth pick #19 at other positions of need will be long gone. Only exception is Dillon Thieneman, but he’s almost a shoe in for the Vikings as the Harrison Smith replacement. Some posters on here want to draft an OT just to check a box without realizing the concerns and risk that comes along with said player. Sounds like XL to me… desperately drafting need… KC is a pretty safe player.  Produced all 3 years in college and last year in the SEC vs a lot of top corners in this years draft. He single handily dropped the South Carolina CB Brandon Cisse’s draft stock with how bad he abused him.   Sometimes it’s best to try and hit a double instead of going for the home run. This draft screams “go for the double”. Esp in the first.
