Watching Darnold tonight it is obvious he is not very mobile. I will take Bryce over Darnold every day. Minnesota is a very good team. No way I give hm  big contract. I want him to succeed, but if he goes to New York it will be Aaron Rogers 2. 

He's decently mobile he just really struggles when you force him to think. He freezes up and then starts to panic. When he gets into "rabbit brain" mode even when he sees it he usually sails it high. It feels like the pick six is coming...

He's been much better at Minnesota at avoiding that stuff, I think Oconnell settles him down somehow.

Bizarre game. The defenses are dominating but both teams are playing on offense like they're going to have to score 40+ to win tonight. The first team to get their head out of their ass and start playing ball control, grind it out defensive game offense might win this one

I think remember seeing he even got a life coach kinda person for these habits the last couple years.

Yeah like after that Vikings pick, plenty of time to run the ball or play action/qb scramble. Why they just did vanilla drop backs with Darnold obviously targeting Jefferson I dunno

They've only run the ball six times. It's crazy. Your QB has a history of mentally unraveling and they're blitzing the poo out of him and you're just passing like crazy.

The NFL has the best football minds on the planet but man... sometimes they do some really dumb situational stuff.

Yup, I think that Oconnell was  trying to force Darnold to settle down with passes - but I think the way to do it is with the run game and play action

This drive has had a healthy dose of run game, I think the Vikings are realizing what is going on in this game lol

    • Um, no, just no. Bills, Chiefs, Chargers, Ravens, Bengals, Texans, Eagles, Commanders are 8 teams that it's not even a debate, they aren't trading their QB for Purdy. Patriots, Broncos, Titans, Giants, Bears, Vikings, Falcons are 7 more teams with QBs drafted in the last 2 years that also would rather stick with them than trade for Purdy as they all have more upside than he does. Lions, Packers, Cowboys, Bucs are 4 more that would likely keep their QB's as well, age aside for Goff, Dak, and Baker. Panthers and Colts are two teams in the same situation, QB's who have both struggled and shown flashes to where the teams probably stick with them because they drafted them, but in a re-draft of all QB's, they probably take Purdy over the guy they currently have. Jags, Cardinals, Dolphins, are 3 more with QB's who probably have a higher upside than Purdy but come with their own question marks, so debatable if they'd take Purdy over who they already have. That leaves Jets, Raiders, Steelers, Browns, Saints, Seahawks, and Rams. Rams would take him over Stafford for the future of course, but not for 2025, and I'd think the Seahawks would take him over Darnold, but honestly not sure if they would take him over Milroe at this moment as they really like his potential and have him for 4 years really cheap. That leaves 5 teams that I see who would absolutely take him over their current situation right now, and a handful of others who MIGHT take him over their current guy, a far cry from your 20.  
    • Agreed. Also as soon as they received the top pick in the next draft it was over. Bears won that trade. Gave up a top overall pick got one the next year plus pick 9, a couple 2nds, and DJ Moore a proven young WR. Had their 2024 pick from us be in the late teens or later it would be more debatable IMO. 
    • Option A:  Pay your starting QB starting QB money. Option B:  Look for a starting QB for 4-10 years (or longer) while wasting the talent at every other position.    How many of the top 20 QB's do you think are worth what they are being paid?   When you factor in the last year of his present deal his contract is really an average of 45 million per year which in today's QB market is a very, very good deal. I wish we'd had found a Brock Purdy to pay 50+ million a year right after we parted ways with Cam.  Ya'll go ahead and live in fairy tale land where good to great (much less elite) QB's are available to pay. Just the fact that they had the chance to pay Brock after the disaster of trading up for Lance is a testament that when you find a quarter back you can win with, complete in the playoffs and superbowls with, you pay him.
