Peppers/Cassel Trade Talks being whispered.

Cassell can't play in Fox's offense this year as well as Jake. Our offense doesn't matchup well w/ Cassell's strength's and weaknesses and Fox offense will not change. It would make no sense. Offensively we are fine. We need a defense. The offense put up the points. We need some D and some better schemes. Cassell for Peppers is laughable imo. Jake will give you 2-3 bad Jake games a year....we are just overracting b/c one of those was our last game of the season. You really think Cassell would lead us to a better year offensively than what Jake did? No way. No other QB imo will get as much out of Smitty as Jake, imo.

No way should Cassel get that kind of money. We do need a QB, but we have some serious defensive line issues. It's hard to think about trading a defensive end when we're already thin across the d.line and not at least getting some picks to address that need. Cassel looks like he will be a good QB, but if we don't stop the run and get pressure on the QB, we won't win very many games no matter who our QB is.

    • Tbf Darnolds last few games here were on par for "good Darnold." Some good decisions and some bad. He had extended success with the Vikings but he still had plenty of poor decisions. Still better than anything we have here. I've always been a Darnold fan and I hope that he finds continued success as a veteran. 
    • I honestly hope he figures it out, but at this point we have little reason to think that he will. He's been even worse than he was as a rookie, which is tough to do. I see no reason he shouldn't be bumped down the depth chart once Coker is back. Jalen is the better player and it's not even remotely close right now. That would if nothing else allow XL to be moved around to where he's in the best position to contribute instead of forcing him into a role he's clearly not ready for and may never be ready for.
    • I think a lot of this stems from how well some of our FA acquisitions / trades played after leaving us. But there's a lot of important caveats there, and I think in Mayfield's case he needed to hit rock bottom (yes, we are rock bottom) to bounce back. He seems much less arrogant in TB. Darnold was, for Darnold, playing well here when we moved on from him too.  I think you are right. I also think we can't wait another 3 years to see if the offense turns around. XL needs to start his turn around this year. And Bryce needs to at least return to how he played the last half of his 2nd year.  Or, imo, we move on from both.
