  1. I also don't think that many teams are eyeballing Minshew as a starter. A top shelf backup is more likely.
  2. Most of our team needs reps. We have one of the youngest rosters in the NFL.
  3. The overwhelming bright spot in a completely and utterly meaningless game. If we are sitting some of these bum ass "starters", Marshall needs to start riding the pine too. He is more critical to our success than quite a few of the guys that sat.
  4. If Darnold stinks(not an unreasonable assumption) PJ won't be better. If Darnold fails, it won't matter which of our three current QB's we trot out, we are gonna be in trouble.
  5. It will be a critical year for the staff. If the QB, OL and K all flounder, I just don't really know what more needs to happen to convince them these are positions that win and lose games regularly at the NFL level. Perhaps the QB and OL are better than expected. Slye....well, that just isn't happening. Better off hoping that Will Grier is the new Tom Brady.
  6. You mean by the same staff that didn't try too hard to improve our OL? You really that surprised? I do get that we can't fix everything(simply too much) in one or two offseasons but we sure don't try very hard at some of the most critical positions in the NFL.
  7. Minshew would likely be much better than Darnold. Lower overall ceiling but a WAAAAAAY higher floor. Zero chance it happens for us.
  8. Any overly positive or negative reactions from watching 90% of players who will be riding the pine, on special teams or cut is absolutely hilarious. As I stated in a other thread, we may have never played a more meaningless preseason game in franchise history. If you are crowing about being right about anything at the moment, you are probably just kind of dumb.
  9. We are also seeing only a handful of players that matter. Seeing scrub vs. scrub is really pretty worthless for determining much regarding our actual team fortunes.
  10. Has there ever been a preseason game we have played that has ever meant less than this one?? It would be tough to think of one.
  11. It would be pretty tough to be much worse than Slye. I will take any UDFA or FA over Slye, at this point. I don't know that we have ever fielding a kicker(certainly for this length of time) who has so conclusively proven that they are not NFL caliber.
  12. This concerns me more than the "holding the lead" nonsense.
  13. The big concern is that we have so many injury prone offensive lineman. That's precisely how you end up with some of those bums playing in the positions they were yesterday.
  14. I would rather watch Christensen suck and take lumps with the hope he might get better than a veteran who has sucked his entire career continue to suck
  15. Darnold is far from a "tall lumbering, old school statue." He is a fairly athletic dude. Don't disagree with all of what you said but I have to defend Darnold here. He is an above average athlete for QB in the NFL.
  16. Agreed. This is clearly year two. I don't necessarily even need .500. Give me .500 with a clear path to above. 500. Let's say that the biggest issues are OL and QB(for instance). That means we have limited slots to fill. That works for me. In Rhule's career, he has always been a third year guy. This should be a transition year if that pattern holds.
  17. Unfortunately, you just don't look as bad as he does and it be okay. Even more unfortunately, it was since his rookie year. Another Hurneymagic pick.
  18. He will be better than Teddy in some regards and also worse. It will be a hindsight discussion to see how it all worked out. Ideally, in our favor.
  19. You calm down with that negative thought process!
  20. This is a good point. Even if we suck hard at pass protection, these same scrubs may be very solid at run blocking.
  21. We had two straight years to do that. I think we will find out that they finally value it as a position this offseason.
  22. I agree with this. Even if Moton is our best LT, if the drop from LT to RT is greater than the replacement RT, zero reason to do that. Put the best overall unit out there and roll with it. It is too late to fix now. Just make the best of what you have.
