Yeah, and that is part of why I wouldn't want to waste a pick on a very high potential bust guy like Richardson. By the time he might be ready it is probably a very different looking roster. If we have a good veteran option ready, perhaps it makes more sense. But if you go with someone like Carr, that makes Richardson completely unnecessary. He just doesn't seem like a guy that fits for our CURRENT position. Maybe that changes this offseason.

I have less and less faith football people will be involved in this. Maybe Tepper's barber will weigh in as well. Probably about as useful as Nicole or Marty Hurney, maybe more.

Because we literally don't have another option. Unless we want to join the Carr/Garoppolo/etc sweepstakes. But, if so, why bother with Richardson?

If not more than a year. We aren't in a position to be that patient with him. He is really best suited to going to a team with an established and possibly aging starter that you expect to retire or be gone in the next 2-3 seasons.

If he drops to second round, he is a guy you run to the podium to get. In the first.....that's dicey. In the top ten, that's the pick that will likely sign your exit papers as a GM.

It is called him being a dumbass.

That's a pick that either makes or breaks a new head coach and/or GM in our franchise QB situation. Probably makes a lot more sense to trade up if you are that QB desperate.

Feel free to point out the Luke Keuchly in this draft.

I didn't watch any of Howell, so I have no basis for any comparison other than a box score. If he gets to play some meaningful football next season then perhaps we will have some idea about his NFL future. Usage rate looks a little Darnold-esque.

Well the biggest indictment of the QBR system is that ESPN box scores don't use QBR, they use QB Rating. It's their propriety system, for that matter.

Rodgers technically had a higher QB Rating.

Why would we, really?

Outside of the Cowboys and Bucs, I don't hate any of the current teams in. I can just enjoy good football and not really root for anyone.

9th isn't a great spot. Trade up or trade down depending on what is available.

Outside shot but yes. Need a Rams win.

This might be one of the most intriguing offseasons for us in franchise history.

Eh....I hear you but those aren't 1:1 scenarios. Needless to say, no one should be comparing those two.

Maybe. We really aren't gonna have any idea until we know the HC and OC. This might be one of the most interesting offseasons in franchise history.

I am as big of a Darnold critic as they come but if you limit him and leave him in situations where he is more likely to succeed this is the result. McAdoo is a wild idiot but he does deserve credit for working better with Darnold than probably any OC in his career. Now, all that said.......Darnold has no future with a successful Carolina Panthers franchise.

Why wouldn't they fire him? Have you seen the Dolphins in the last 20 years?

One wins games in the NFL and the other....well....
