I take Pickett in the 2nd or 3rd and call it a day. I also realize we don't have those picks, so that is out the window.

Do we have an explanation for this? If your QB is as bad as Sam Darnold and is playing as bad as Sam Darnold but this dude isn't worth playing??? So what is he doing on this team?

Yeah, a lot of us have been saying that.

You mean Rhule? I am okay with this.

Still processing my hangover, so unsure about food yet.

Putting CMC at QB, Abdullah, Freeman and Hubbard in the backfield and trotting out two TE's. Get some.

My most hated NFL team. Let's get this win and make Mac Jones look dumb.

So.....ya'll still want Willis? That's another one I keep reminding you to watch the tape on......

Not a high bar to hit though.

You keep beating that drum but it just isn't true. There have been multitudes of people in the league and around the league that talked about how he struggles with processing. There is literally tape there showing this and that it isn't mechanics. I have no idea why you continue to believe it's predominatly mechanics. He keeps struggling from clean pockets, as well. What you are saying is literally a fantasy.

I guess that is technically true.

Technically the bulk of our core players are inherited.

You need people to attend for there to be a parade.

17 people isn't a parade.

I think Teddy would have done better overall but I do think our offense would still be struggling without CMC. Our red zone stats are up slightly from last year. I do also believe the drops wouldn't nearly be as big of a deal.

Teddy had almost as bad of an OL last year and still completed passes at a high rate because he was much quicker to process the field and make the decisions. He just sucked at making decisions other than the most conservative possible one. So, I actually don't believe Jones would perform worse than Sam here.

They do get assigned randomly if you leave it on autodraft. I always suspect that was Hurney's biggest problem.

Neither of their statistics come even close to what OBJ did. It's fine to hate a player for being a douche but you can't take away their on field accomplishments. There have been few if any WR's that had as dominant a start to their NFL careers as OBJ. That wasn't being in a "market." He was legit one of the top 2-4 WR's in the NFL his first three years in the league.

Rhule has final say on personnel. This was a condition of him accepting the job at Carolina. This is a widely known and reported fact. Considering the money(and draft capital) we have shelled out for Darnold and Teddy, I am not sure resigning Cam could even eclipse how dumb we have been since(contract dependant, of course).

He hasn't been. He's been a bum most of the year.

He may end up clearing waivers. If he gets picked up, the team is on the hook for the rest of his rather large salary for this year(I believe). He has $15 mil/year in 2022 and 2023 but zero of that money is guaranteed. It's possible teams may just want to get him on an even smaller deal since he is a head case and injury prone. Remember that Antonio Brown never recovered his market value after all his hysterics.

Hey, he was 24 of 34 against Detroit. 26 of 34 if you count the completions to the Lions.

You do see some bulking up and some cutting down(Cam and Big Ben come to mind on slimming down). Outside of someone like Mac Jones, who was physically about as unimpressive as can be, I would say the majority of QB's are still in pretty good shape. Getting bigger and stronger might help for a bruising runner like Allen or Cam but that also isn't a recipe for longevity. If you think about the muscles being used for throwing a football, it isn't that you necessarily want them big and bulky. Hence why you don't see a bunch of swole up MLB pitchers.
