Just let them play.

I think we win the division.

There will be others to come. More legends in the making.

I'd like vaccaro.

Yeah...bar is laying on the ground. Shouldn't be too hard to be better.

I think he's much more likely to get things rolling in those situations than teddy. I see a lot of Jake in him.

And also this....

It absolutely needs to happen. Too many things are left open for refs to make judgement calls. The more decisions we can take out if their hands, the better the game will be. Ball placement should absolutely not be a judgement call. Any remaining judgement calls they make should be challengeable.

These two situations are quite a bit different though.

Just like Rhule said on the Rich Eisen show, "if everyone is thinking the same thing, no one is thinking". They have a culture that allows and even encourages, but also respects a strong difference of opinion. It's ok. Yes, it is/was a gamble, but so is every other decision in the draft. Like Fitt also said, according to Gantt, "trust the board". They went in with a plan and trusted it and adapted it to take care of what they needed to. Basically, it's something that I expect, bit also not something that throws up a red flag about the organization the way it does in Philly.

Part of the thing that has impressed me about Darnold is his scrambling ability, being able to keep the play alive and look for the best opportunity.

Good. That's where they should be...for now. Start from the bottom and earn respect.

I think they are looking at him being 23 years old as a rookie with more experience. Rather, just a really young guy who they can build around for a long time. I mean that's what you're wanting when you draft what you hope is a franchise QB. He did mention, though, that there isn't a really great hit rate in drafting QBs in the first round. It's always a gamble, even this year. We'll be lucky to see half of the QBs taken in the first round still starting after 3 years. One thing Rhule also mentioned was that when his defensive staff was looking at jets tape, snow said he looked like Matt Stafford. Rhule also talked about conversations with him when Rhule was up for the NYJ job a couple years back and being really impressed with the tone and direction of the conversation with him, like Darnold was on another level maturity-wise. I don't think it has anything to do with an aversion to rookie QBs and everything to do with believing in Darnold.

I don't have instagram. Can't watch it

I replayed that one at least a dozen times the first time I saw it. Flat out amazing seeing that big guy run like that.

That is borderline territory there, but if i'm hungry and desperate...boneless can carry the sauce.

Those poor birds. I almost feel sorry for them. Actually, screw 'em. Worse fans in the world. Let the wallow in misery for the next decade.

He's retired and has millions to live off of. Why not take a break for a while?

Raise your hand, everyone, if you think David newton can tell the difference between resigned and re-signed. Of course probably only half the crowd probably knows this and the other half didn't and thinks I'm a grammar nazi for noticing and pointing it out.

Eventually, but it could be argued we weren't ok with him here. We knew he wouldn't stay forever. We'll start winning again soon.

aka @FootballCzar of Football Gameplan (FBGP) And btw, apparently he's working for CBS now. Congrats to him if he swings by.

It is a rather funky bit of speculating.
