we had all but 2 vaccinated per Darin Gantt the other day.

Well, that’s also why I said imagine if he had that pass load on his shoulders and didn’t just say if he had those pass attempts. Winston put up the 8th most yards in NFL history the year being talked about So you can just look at the INT% and pass attempts and pull your number. But the 626 pass attempts would only project a 2020 Sam Darnold as having a 3000+ yard season if you look at yards. Which wouldn’t really be a comparable load asked of the two IMO. Sam IMO has never been asked to shoulder the offensive load in the manner Winston did that year. So I think you got to look at more than just the attempts.

Ask CMC his take on cargo shorts

Winston had a league leading 626 pass attempts and over 5000 passing yards (8th highest in history) that season. What do you think the INT column would have looked like for Sam if asked to shoulder a pass load like that?

I judge Winston like all the rest. QB DNA. It is what it is. You don't change it. You can try. In the end QB DNA is what it is. Winston will always make dumb plays in the end. We have seen the I'll fix it thing a million times. The problem is he can catch fire. And you are going to have to tough day trying to stop him if you catch him on that day.

hard to really feel great about bashing other guys given where we currently sit. The whole glass house thing. Sam Darnold was horrible in a clean pocket last year.

you misspelled Marcus

My bad. It’s pretty easy. a fringe starter, the way I define it, is someone that isn’t very good but can earn a starting role on a team that doesn’t really have much at the position or finds themselves in a bad spot. take our LT as an example. He is a fringe starter. You put him on 32 other rosters….and he is a backup on the vast majority of them. But he starts for us. How long? Who knows. Give all 32 teams Sam. How many would start him over their QB? Maybe 1? Hou? Now, maybe Sam can develop into something better. That is the goal and plan. But he is what he is present day.

I think Sam's stats will look very similar to the ones Teddy posted last year. Slightly lower comp % and maybe a couple more TDs. Nothing earth shattering. but with more wins attached to his name than Teddy.

Rhule's college crew is going to largely be on the roster. Not PS. Come on now, Rhule ain't going to do his guys like that.

Ron Rivera took over a 2 win team that featured Jimmy Clausen as the QB. Fox took over a 1 win team that featured Weinke as the QB. Rhule isn't in some unique horrible spot.

They all played for Rhule at Temple. So did all the Baylor guys.

I mean, Rivera cracked heads with the 85 Bears. He is going to naturally going to have a big edge over someone like Rhule in a defensive locker room. I mean, even if Rivera and Rhule weren't NFL coaches. Rivera is going to be a fit in that setting.

imma go get one of those firemen helmets and paint it black and blue for the season opener

Stats clearly don't tell you what actually happened but here they are Game 3 - 13/23, 52%, 158 yards, 2 TDs, 1 INT, 2 sacks. Fum. Game 2 - 1/3, 33%, 5 yards Game 1 - 5/9, 55%, 45 yards

The Jets of the South. Bold strategy.

they did win a handful with Dalton last year. And Dalton looks like he belongs in the XFL at this stage. What would be worse? Losing to Will Grier with the Cowboys? Or Cam going to Hou and losing to Cam complimented by the worst team in football?

ok, but as a fan, having a new owner doesn't actually change how I view a HC.

Capers took over an expansion team Fox took over a 1 win team Rivera took over a 2 win team They all were in the postseason within 3 years. It's the NFL. This year and the next IMO should decide if Rhule should stay or leave.

PJ gets my vote over Grier for the same reason I endorsed PJ at the end over Teddy. PJ's style of play is simply more entertaining. So if winning and mattering goes out the window....might as well be entertained.

well, that isn't my preferred method. But if you are going to go the route of trying to resurrect/fix Sam Darnold. I would have done it.

Will got a 2% chance. PJ got a 1% chance. Whatever it actually is, I almost think any conversation that involves PJ/Grier is splitting hairs. What we needed to of done is not go all in on Sam Darnold. Darnold is the underlying reason everyone is so passionate about this pointless debate. If we were going this route, we should of brought in two guys IMO. So you bring in Darnold and Mitch T. Or Darnold and Menshew. Let them compete. Increase your odds.

and that's just football money

Cam, 89 and Olsen all lost their jobs and went on to find the best one they could get when they left with another team. where they went to play changes nothing about what they were to us. None of them forced their way out.

not without the shot
