I do agree about Moton and ideally keeping him where he is most comfortable. The "glass half full" comment is a bit concerning.

I hope they know something we don't because I would have already benched him now and made the switch. He can't stay healthy anyway, so depth is his best shot at available the longest.

If Darnold fails, I will be curious to see if the FO/staff continues to believe that dumpster diving is the path to finding a QB.

I think this is basically our very best case scenario for this season. So, I can't come down that road to assuming we will max out our potential in year two of the rebuild. It's possible but unlikely. I think this season will hinge on a few things. How bad Darnold is(or good, perhaps), how much our secondary improves, how much our overall defense improves, how bad our offensive line is, and how well we avoid the injury bug(so far doing an excellent job). Perhaps the most interesting thing to see is if we make the improvement to being a slightly below average to average team. If so, that means Rhule's turnaround pattern from college would be present. That could mean a big leap in 2022.

The implosion will be over him not playing, I predict.

That's an awful idea/theory. In what world would our roster be appealing to a 38 year old QB in 2022? The Bucs and Broncos had experienced and established talent. We are at the beginning of building our success, not at the point of being ready made for a "win now" QB. Fields fits what we are as a franchise much more than Rodgers. My guess is that Rodgers will end up on a CA based team in the next two years or he will simply retire.

If their injury woes keep getting worse, it's possible. It's not a bet I would personally make, especially being in the same division as the Jags and Texans.

It isn't at all ridiculous. Not only are they more deep and more talented but much more importantly, far more experienced. 2-5 years behind them isn't hard to believe at all.

This is literally a completely absurd take and I consider myself pretty middle of the road on the whole Watson issue.

5/5 for 5 yards and 5 TD's?

Once he signs that second contract(literally probably the day of), he'll be a surefire jersey purchase.

I don't think you say what Rhule said, have guys likely to miss the game(which we do) and then play him. Doesn't matter if we agree or not, I just think he basically gave us all an indication that he isn't keen to put him out there in the preseason without absolutely pristine conditions for him. Which.....having a lot of this OL is about as far from pristine as I can imagine but I'm not Matt Rhule.

0-0, 0 yards, 0 TD's, 0 INT's. He doesn't end up playing.

Not sure things will change enough at that position to keep him off the roster. Not unless we make some roster moves to get better at LB(which we probably should).

I hope Mac Jones wins that job so Cam can go somewhere I can wish him well. Can't do it as long as he is a Pat.

Yeah, I think most reasonable people think of this experiment as at least a bit of a longshot to pay off. It would have been nice to have invested enough into a quality offensive line to at least fix some of the problems he had in NY. But, alas, here we are.

He still needs to put up elite stats. They aren't going to care about getting into the playoffs if he isn't putting up big numbers.

CMC and Burns are the obvious ones. DJ, Moton, Robby are outside shots. I don't see many others as likely candidates, mostly because they are a lot of young guys and would need to put up video game stats to get on those radars(Brown, Chinn, Horn, etc).

If the staff and FO see him as a cheap gamble, I wouldn't have an issue with a trade for him. My expectations would be pretty low and I wouldn't want to see anything more than say a 6th round draft pick sent their way.

Because missing a couple of weeks as a key reserve isn't that big of a deal. Much better than half a season or a whole season. Injuries are bound to happen, it's the NFL. These are the kinds of injuries that don't derail seasons.

He didn't exactly stand out in his rookie season. And he is also dealing with an injury this offseason. If they are interested in moving him(which we don't know that they are) after taking him in the first round a couple of years ago, that should say a lot.

That is much cleaner than quite a few strip clubs I have been to.
