If a premier tackle is where we are then you have to take him. We’ve nickel and dimmed that position for too long. If not and the board falls the wrong way then yes trade down…

Good thing we didn’t get an established back up in the off-season….

Did we have these type of threads for Clausen?

Whoever decided we should not just go into the season with Darnold as QB but have NO viable options to replace him with if poo went sour needs to be given a pink slip.

/thread More seriously there were a lot of signs it would not work but as fans you can't blame many of us for wishful thinking. Outside of Sam's failings in NY the signs were there that it would not go well here. First signs were the draft. We go in to the draft knowing we have glaring issues on the line. However, instead of using the most of our draft capital to draft a OL we instead go for a CB which is a position much easier to fill in later rounds than tackle. We knew Darnold had a sucky time at the Jets because he was pressured a lot and it caused him to see ghosts but instead of putting him in a better position we placed Sam at the same spot he was at NY but with a better defense. Him not playing in the preseason was already as the second one and the third sign was CMCs health. I bet our geniuses thought CMC could carry the load and take the pressure but we overestimated how much load CMC can carry.

We’ve made two terrible back to back decisions at QB alone. We aren’t too far from this assessment(If not already there) from those moves alone.

Do you need a MLK quote?

We had a franchise QB for nearly 10 years and the prior administration never did this and the current administration has somehow proven to be dumber than the last one. I’m just gonna wait and see….

Spot the difference

You just don’t like my answer. But feel free to find a reason to defend dumb and doubling down on dumb moves.

Bring in someone to compete. I can understand getting Sam but only having PJ is like saying you’re okay going into the season with just Sam. My point is, making moves for the hell of it shouldn’t be praised.

You followed up with “This would be an important factor to criticize or not.” Picking up Sam’s option before seeing him play would be dumb even if the deadline was before the start of the season. They doubled down on what was already a very risky move and it backfired to no one’s surprise.

There is no good answer because there is no good excuse.

There is no excuse for why our FO did something this stupid.

High reward? Lol o.k.

Good. He’s been a terrible owner and he should feel bad.

Don’t. He will get 18m next year.

You couldn't sum up this franchise any better...

Don't tel that to @WOW!!

Looks like it to me....

We had a franchise QB for nearly a decade and never did that...

Say it louder for those in the back!
