Call Me James

Even in his worst year, check down King was better than our current QB. At some point a few y'all just need to say you need a white QB that reminds you of the old days.

Big year for him. If Burrow continues to impress, especially coming off a significant injury and Brady doesn't well...

With bad weather slated for most of the week, will that Chang ethe philosophy on how much starters play on Sat?

He was not good. Stop it.

No. No. No. Draft a stud or pick up a proven veteran. This bargain bin nonsense has to stop.

Pretty sure it's 12. Hopefully it comes and goes without any lingering effects.

Y'all did this routine last year with Teddy. How about you wait until he starts before you start telling fans how they should feel about a guy on his 4th year.

Our coaches don't seem interested in dynamic QBs. They have a type.

Yea coaches seem to have between 2.5 to 3.5 to show they can put their team into the playoffs. Too much money involved to ride out a half decade of mediocrity or worse. And they'll always be rated against the other coaches who are doing well when players you pass up. Rhule's money is guaranteed though, so he doesn't have to stress that part.

OP thought he had something.

There is no gamble in whether Sam Darnold will be a good QB?

He's in year 4. He not only needs to grow, but he needs to move from being the consensus worst starter the last 3 years to being top 3rd. That's a large gamble. If he's just middle of the road he's no better than Teddy.

You can draft a lot of talented players, but if that doesn't translate into wins by addressing the teams biggest need it can't be a successful draft. We will see what they put together, but I'm not sure how many guys in this draft will be straight away impact guys outside of the no 1 pick

They won't be here that long to see it. It's a shame that a coaching staff fails to address the No1 and no2 needs directly instead of picking up pet projects to tinker with.

Huddle graded the draft an A/A-. No complaints allowed

Agreed. Just assuming Darnold is going to be better than Teddy is a huge gamble.

Yes. Blood and guts.

CmC should make Darnold'slife easier and one has to assume we're actually going to take advantage of that unlike the Jets with Bell.

People are weird. I've never understood why folks do it. We have a storied tradition of lest our best players walk instead of paying them.

Wait until they're wearing a DJ Moore patriots jersey next year at camp.

The coaching staff and management believes they're good enough. CmC said we have a complete offense. Seems fans want it both ways.

We're already making OL excuses? Sam Darnold bingo is going to be fun this year.

The discussion around Watson vs Ben is telling.

Alleged Panthers fan refers to Charles Johnson as an internet badass
