Let's be real: Forget the season. There are folks on here who will try to turn this board into a train wreck if we lose our first preseason game while Fields completes a single pass in his.

There's always that contingent that trips all over themselves for a chance to say "I told you so".

Darnold was the "bird in the hand"

Most people have two hands.

Could also "lend a hand" and both of the two in the bushes would quickly be caught.

 

Yes, I had to Google "bird in the hand"... 

I hope Darnold was the right decision.

We also saw the flip side to that any time our last franchise quarterback had a bad pass or lost a game. Welcome to sports.

The will be the partial fallacy in comparing the trade though. It isn’t just Fields vs Darnold. It’s Fields vs Darnold + Horn. Let’s say Fields comes out and puts up good rookie numbers. Let’s say he throws 23 TDs and rushed for 3 TDs and has 14 turnover. That’s a great season for a rookie QB.

If Darnold comes out and throws 20 TDs and 12 turnovers but our defense is elite due in large part to the fact our secondary can jam WRs at the line giving our pas rush that extra second to get to the QB, then where does that put us?

Many on here will simply compare Fields to Darnold. But it’s Darnold + Horn as a collective that we should be comparing

True and valid points. You would probably have to factor what we could have got for the future 2nd and 4th in acquiring Darnold to be completely fair, but it wouldn’t be anything close to Horn’s potential.

if Fields is great AND Horn is great and Darnold remains Darnold…..we still have egg on our face though.

Equally familiar with "bird on the head", "bird on the shoulder", "bird chewing holes in my shirt" and several others.

There is one about a stone but let's not go there. Most countries probably have one similar to "Free as a bird" and it's more positive so let us end with that one. 🐦

I agree with your thinking and was ok with Darnold as a project. Then when Fields was available at pick during the draft. It became more complicated. Having both Darnold and Fields on the roster, the position is so important so giving it along thought...

Well, I am actually ok with going with Darnold and Horn. But it could also extend the time until this team becomes competitive if he is not the solution. But I started to follow a middle of the league team so I don't mind, others might disagree and want success so I understand their frustration.

      Canes vs redwings 7pm

      It's not good to leave any netminder having a bad night out there, not fair to them, not fair to the skaters still trying to win the game It's classless and shows a lack of respect, for them has a player and a human being, you aren't gaining anything, you aren't learning anything , except they just don't have it that night. I don't care if it's a multiple Vezina Winner, or a 3rd string back up, don't leave them out there to shame themselves and the rest of the team  What if Lavi left Cam in when he didn't have it, and Rod had to skate knowing he essentially has an open net at his end of the ice, would he enjoy that ?

      Ryan Fowler: Panthers hosting Texas A&M Shemar Stewart

      If they draft Stewart at 8th, I will ask @Mr. Scot for a list of GMs and might as well ask for HC too.....

      Ryan Fowler: Panthers hosting Texas A&M Shemar Stewart

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      I can't for the life of me figure out what people are seeing in Stewart on tape. If he can't just simply run around or through the OL in front of him, he's cooked. I don't see any actual moves. If he doesn't win on sheet athleticism at the point of contact he's nullified. I don't know if I've ever seen him actually beat a block once engaged. Then, even if he just blasts right past or through the OL and has a clean path to the ball it's like he's blind. He can't find the ball. He's like a bottle rocket. Yeah, he takes off fast but he's just going to go fast in a general direction. There will be no course correction. I watched quite a bit on him just because of his perceived draft evaluation and because of the wild discrepancy between measurables and production. Watch him play and it all makes since. He's a god tier physical specimen who just happens to be playing football. I don't see a football player. People need to stop falling in love with the potential and start realizing why the potential isn't translating.
