The same people who blasted Darnold for being a gunslinging turnover machine now want us to trade for a gunslinging turnover machine.

A QB that threw for nearly 4000 yds. 21 TDs in his first full season as a QB.  God forbid a first-year starter actually doesn't throw interceptions.   Just for reference.  Payton Manning threw for less yard and more INTs than TD (28-26).  So, you're basically saying they should have benched Manning after his first full season at QB.

The elephant in the room being the QB.

I don't know why talking heads aren't brave enough to address it.

Because so many of them had Bryce as GENERATIONAL. 

They don't want to go back, so most stay quiet.

I support him because he's our QB, but I'm far from sold on him long term.

Even if we don't, if Dalton mimics last year's performance, we need to look for better, though it will cost us to cut him. 

If only there was some indication that his play was declining, the team could have let him walk after last year.  But as we all know he won comeback player of the year and we made the playoffs.

It’s the don’t undermine a Bryce with someone who wants his job thing,

Andy has a ton of knowledge and has seen it all, defenses and situations, but he is on the down side and will only ever decline not improve. We need someone to improve.

Technically we don’t.  We need someone who’s better than Dalton.  Those QBs are widely available every offseason and they don’t need to improve to be better than what we have.

Answering the long term QB question and easily finding a short term replacement are two completely different things.

Okay who should we have gotten? You gotta remember they don’t want a QB people will be yelling for when Bryce starts two games giving the ball away. 
Makes it a little tougher.

The day we signed him to another 2 year deal I said I was a huge mistake and I hated the move. He looked washed after the Raiders game. I don't get why improvement in the QB room is such a bad thing.

This is why I personally believe Tepper is still heavily influential in the direction of the organization. Bryce is being shielded and it's obvious and you only do that for one reason, to protect someone's ego, and I'm pretty sure it's not Bryce's.

Somebody believes he is a QB and lives by ‘if you have two QBs you have none’.
