I wish Sam Darnold nothing but the best. Seems like a legit good guy. I wish Baker wasn't on Tampa because honestly I like him too.

I would rather draft #1 overall than later on the draft. Moral victories can't be measured. Draft capital can be. One has real value. The other is cope.

I kinda agree with you on this one. It took the #1 pick in the 2023 draft to find our franchise QB after numerous failed attempts.

We should do the White/Silver more often. So much nicer than the White/Black combo.

I really thought Mayfield was going to be the guy here, and had he fit into McAdoo's system then it may have worked out differently. He would have done great in Joe Brady's offense.

It didn't look as bad as I thought it would. I kinda agree.

And look at the draft capital we had to give up to get it. We went 5-3 down the stretch that season to tank our draft stock then had to gut the team of roster building capital trade up to #1. Perfect example of why late our of contention wins are significant net negatives for the future of an organization.

Me too. He was terrible here though, gotta say. That season was a massive cluster fug where it seemed like no part of the organization was fully committed to either QB.

He’s gonna turn into a pumpkin after some bad team gives up 2 1sts and 300 million bucks to get him in the offseason lol.

Idk the Lions are like a kindred spirit for us I don't wish Darnold any ill but the Vikings have had plenty of regular season success the last several years their fans aren't starved. I'll be pulling for a fellow tortured sports city in Detroit. I hope they win it all.

It's gonna be really interesting to see what the Vikings do this off-season. They just spent a first rounder on McCarthy last year and then he got hurt in preseason. 

Honestly, if I'm them I'm probably tagging Darnold and figuring it out from there.

I just saw that we finished out 3rd in the South hopefully we will be the 1st in the South next year

You gotta think there’s gonna be at least one crazy offer on the phone after the seasons over.  The deeper they go, the crazier.
