I really don't understand why they're still playing Cousins other than the $$$ they're paying him. You panic drafted Penix for a reason. Play him.

Or it could be that they're letting him get time to learn on the bench like a lot of new QBs need to do. 

I think it would be fair to say if Byrce had spent his 1st year on the bench instead of being thrust into the starting lineup before he was ready, this season may have been quite different.

Agreed and it's probably a smart move.

So Cousins is good in Minnesota, Darnold sucks.  Cousins goes to Atlanta, he sucks.  Darnold goes to Minnesota, and he is good.

Likely the system he is in and the team. That is why a team should look at Darnolds full body of work and ask themselves if he is a true system QB that will regress a lot with another team. Darnold should not get a big payday. 
Like Foles did when he left the Eagles. Dude won a Super Bowl and then a mid QB got a big contract and Foles sucked.

Baker sucks in Cleveland, Carolina--but look good in LA and then Tampa Bay.  It is the system--the team--more than people realize.  Goff sucks in LA to a lesser degree and is probably headed to a Super Bowl in Detroit and is solid in Detroit.  Rogers is a hall of famer in GB but in NY, he has been terrible.  Geno Smith sucked in NY (Jets) and is doing well in Seattle.  Russell Wilson is great in Seattle, Bad for the most part in Denver, and is better in Pittsburgh.  D. Watson was good in Houston and is now bad in Cleveland.  It is more system, play calling, surrounding talent, defense, etc. than people realize.

    • You could say that-- but if we don't need a starting OT this year, why would you draft a flawed one that is not going to play? (We are coming from different underlying assumptions and perspectives--I see your argument and don't disagree with the premise) Your thinking is based on the assumption that an OT for the future is more important than immediate needs at other positions, or that we can meet other needs in later rounds even if we take the OT in round 1.  I do not think there is but 1 OT worthy of a first-round grade---they are mocked based on need and demand--if we do not have a need for a starter right now, a team at 18 may grab a T that is the 33rd best player--worth it if you have no starting T, but not if you have a starter.  So just because they are mocked around the middle of the first it does not mean that the players are good values--teams get desperate.  QBs are a great example.  Simpson may be worth it in round 1 for the Cardinals, but not the Jets, because they have Geno Smith.  Sure, they will need a QB by next year, but taking Simpson is a reach. I do not see our need, with 2 starters (Walker and Moton) and another possibly returning by the end of the season enough to justify ranking OT over positions like Safety, Will LB--I do not think we replaced A Shawn Robinson (We gonna put a NT out there?  Wharton (280lbs)?  So do we reach in round 1 for a player who may not play much or do we get a Will LB that can cover?  A deep free safety?  A quality center? A playmaking TE?  A DT to replace Robinson?  A wide receiver to balance the secondary?  Long term, if the right player was there, you would be right.  Short term, OT is a luxury at this point, in my view.  
    • Put Huey P Newton on the helmet. With his AK. 
    • We arent switching. Evero is 3-4 to the core. Given how 3-4 has been a noticeable characteristic of top defenses recently and we have drafted and signed players fir it  I dont know why anyone would think that's a good idea
