For me, it depends on the price. This isn't about long term solution, but best environment for a rookie to become the guy we need... Tyrod is unquestionably an upgrade over Darnold. Barring some major improvement, Darnold shouldn't see the field next year. Tyrod gives us a mentor for a young rookie we think will be the franchise one day. As to Minshew, he would be a potentially very cheap backup option, and as we've seen there is a lot of value in that. I don't see him as some future franchise qb though.

I think the draft a rookie bit was the franchise QB ideally. Tyrod on a rental with a promising rookie sitting behind him learning sounds good to me, but the OL must be fixed too.

You mean if Herbert hadnt been drafted before our pick? Sure. Do we know it'd be any different with a different gm? But Hurney has generally been money in the first.

Imagine having a QB playing at a mvp level

How is the only real receiver the Packers have left that open, lol

Brady and Darnold are trying to force the ball to Robby to help him get over his yips. It is hurting everyone involved. I actually miss Zylstra in the passing game. That is ... a bad sign.

there's only so many Questions one poster can ask about this franchise, I guess.

Hurney is the gift that just keeps giving... Years after he's gone we will still be frustrated by him.

Snake doesn't bother me. Yeah he just made a bad post but I remember a time when he and the rest of the Huddle had decent posts, so I can get over that. What I can't get over is that the state of this team has turned me into a troll poster.

Trading for Darnold, having no back up plan, and not prioritizing OL more was a problem. We knew Darnold was a little shell shocked from playing behind a bad OL so we put him behind an arguably worse one

Rhule knows PJ is even worse so he'll do what he can. Make no mistake, he isn't happy with Darnold... But we aren't getting a franchise qb mid season. I hope this convinced them to stop fuging around with retreads.

... Year 4? I mean i get that in 2018 we were already doooomed, so I can get on board with it being 4 years of a non competitive team, but it's really only year 2 of this rebuild. We can blame Rhule for an awful lot, but not the last 2 years of Rivera.

Execution isn't all on Brady but it seems that players are out of position frequently and I wouldn't be surprised if they were sometimes running the wrong routes (this has been commented on once in a while in broadcasts). It doesn't seem that Brady is properly preparing the offense at all. Sure, Darnold makes EVERYTHING worse... But still.

Can't wait to see fans flip the fug out when we're down two scores running the ball for 4-5 yards an attempt, haha. I suppose that is better than letting Darnold throw the ball 40 times a game tho.

The issue is it isn't just Darnold playing poorly. Yes, the offense has given up now, but the receivers / backs / tight ends were in the wrong place, dropping balls left and right, etc and things have looked out of sync since the start in ways that aren't possible to blame Darnold. Ultimately the offense looks poorly prepared, unable to adjust/adapt, etc. Even when it WAS performing in the first halves, it was an awful stinking mess in the 3rd and still struggled situationally. I agree Darnold is a bigger problem than Brady, but Brady has looked BAD this year.

sure Teddy's best FULL season, but he was better per game with NO and is better so far with DEN than he was with us. Maybe he'll come back down to earth but it isn't like DEN is some crazy high powered offense either... Anderson is having his worst season to date ... again with Joe Brady. Samuel was in a contract year, Davis had a lot to prove. I don't think Brady is THE WORST, he has some killer play design... but it isn't really looking like he is that great, either, especially in the red zone or situationally.

I firmly believe SBs are a mix of quality of roster, coaching, luck, and timing. Two of those things are largely out of our control - when does the team get hot, when are people getting healthy, etc. Roster is partly there... We are close to an elite defense... Good skill players on offense... but real bad at OL and QB. And yet, OL is an interesting thing, because a couple great additions can change the entire look of a unit. QB, tho... And then there's coaching. Last year, I thought it was a strength... This year, fug, Rhule looks as lost as our offense.

and unfortunately Rhule's loyalty to his college players means our backup is trash, too. what a shitty situation we're in, heh

Haha, as much as I dislike Rhule, he did seem to be MUCH better last year, so I think something weird is up. OL is definitely a major problem but, IMO, Darnold is a bigger issue atm. I didn't used to think so, but I think his inability to make quick reads has fuged our offense at every level. Yes, our OL sucks, but even when they actually get him a pocket he just misfires. Unless we're talking about 2 minute offense, strangely enough.

I mean... You're not wrong because we are still lacking a competent QB...

Or... Some of the new information he's lacking is when he will next see a football field...

That's fair, although it seems like there's every potential angle by all sides being worked right now to save face, potentially try to drive interest etc... It's a weird feeling to be somewhat glad the team didn't mortgage the future for someone with sexual assault allegations while being extremely depressed at the state of our team...

The OL can be a problem and they can have drafted a good center... Kinda like saying Moton is a good tackle.

Seems to be the same source saying different things now too. Maybe different sources for that source? haha.

that is very different from "Watson rejected the Panthers." Heh.
