Teddy Bridgewater is a better QB than Sam Darnold 


And Teddy has hit his absolute ceiling. The gamble is can Darnold, six months younger than Joe Burrow, lead a team surrounded by the best supporting cast he’s ever had by far.

I mean they're taking a risk, but it's for a qb with the youth and traits they were looking for and they didn't even part ways with a first round pick to get it. You can make the argument for trading up for a young qb but the options were probably worse there and the same age QB as Sam. The SF trade forced them into a corner, they decided to take a route that let them keep all their draft picks this year. I don't hate it.

*IF* Sam can turn things around, it won’t happen in one off season.

Hes going to be the same guy this season.

Maybe a little improved, but it’s not going to be drastically better.

Several teams were interested at one point.  But most teams have filled QB slots (Bears, WFT, Saints, Colts) or positioned themselves (49ers) to draft one early.  This late in the game it’s no shock that we were the lone suitor left since we had held out for Watson.

      REPORT: Panthers open to trading down from #8

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      All options should be on the table. Always. I never loved Gettleman's probably ego driven stunt of running the pick up immediately to show everyone how confident you are of your decision. If the phone is ringing I'm listening. Yeah, you may really like a prospect available but someone on the other end of the line might like someone available to the point that they're willing to do something stupid to get him. Now granted, working against us is the reality that our owner is the poster child for that person on the other end of the line but that aside, yeah we should always listen if offers are coming in and there's time on the clock to hear them.

      ^This.  However, if some team feels froggy enough and nobody at the top of our board falls, let them jump.

      It could make sense, but I don't know who it would be if we're talking QB. I just don't see the Steelers trading up that far, it's not in their blood. I strongly feel they're angling for Milroe or Dart, and will be patient.  No need to get aggressive for those guys.  Other teams won't have an issue letting the Saints pick Sanders haha.   Our best shot is 1 of Campbell/Membou (or maybe it could even be Banks) are available & a team like SF or SEA with a boatload of picks and OL needs makes the trade.  Or it's Jeanty and the Bears/Cowboys/etc. really want him.  Put yourself in other team's shoes - no one else is worth trading up for.  This draft is Carter, Hunter, & Jeanty...then a huge field (25+) of late-1st/early-2nd round talent.    If anything, it's the OL scenario.  Seattle or SF are the perfect spots - move into the teens, add a 2nd, and a future pick (at min) The only Shedeur options I see would be CLE (we get 33 & next year's 1st minimum) for 8 or NYG and we get 34, 99 and 2026 1st type package.
