Not bringing in competition for Darnold or Slye was a huge mistake

I don’t know what their plan is with Sam but I hope you noticed that Lamar Jackson didn’t take a single snap. I don’t know what KC did during the week of practice but seems like Rhule and Harbaugh were both satisfied with the joint practice reps.

Can't be. We have shoe salesmen and garbage men telling everyone how bad the players, coaches and front office is.

Slye I get, but Darnold? Dude attempted two passes.

Exactly! How is this Darnold not playing more???

How is there not a completion for the QB position? Darnold has done NOTHING to deserve the treatment he is getting. This isn’t some established veteran that doesn’t need reps. The Ravens not playing Lamar Jackson, I get it. Dude is an MVP caliber QB. Darnold has stunk it up his first 3 seasons. That is not a recipe for a winning team.

This has muchadoaboutnothin. We a running vanilla offensive plays and showing 5% of the playbook. Slye is the bigger concern but Darnold 2 passes was simply to get him in game speed. Yea I think they shouldve let him play longer but I believe the joint practice from the colts to the ravens helped them to where they feel comfortable not throwing him out for a half. There has been a big improvement overall from the colts to the ravens. But Joey geez.

Id wager they dont want him out there until the line is decided and his top two weapons are in the game....

and they’d give less of a sh*t about the line if they had a backup plan at QB. They are scared as f*ck to start PJ or Grier

I can see not bringing in any competition for Sam, as they really committed to him. Once they passed on Fields, it was Sam's team for 2021. What I can't see is not bringing in more competition to push Walker on out the door. Grier could leave right behind him, but I've always viewed him as more of a project on development curve. 

As for Slye, I just don't see any excuse. All the "there's no one better" and all that BS is just that: BS! If the Ravens can get a kicker in our backyard, what's our fuging excuse? 

The problem is that Rhule is too damned comfortable with mediocrity at certain positions. Starting QB? Hopefully not! Backup QB? Yes! Kicker? fug yeah! And as far as I'm concerned, Tepper needs to give him a kick in the ass. If we can see a problem, then Rhule (and by extension, Fitterer) needs to see the problem with clarity.

Two important factors here (1) Jackson is a former unanimous MVP of the league and Harbaugh knows exactly what he has with him and (2) Jackson is also just getting over his second bout of COVID-19. Not exactly an apples to apples situation.

    • We could easily pick apart yesterday’s game: dropped passes, blown coverages, bad tackling and red zone issues to name a few. But it was clear that this wasn’t the same team from earlier in the season. They fought back and hung with the champs until the end. That’s what I was excited to see and it gives me hope that we’re on the right track.
    • I think BY played well today and exceeded expectations. I will temper future expectations as he has to string together many games of consistent quality. One game doesn’t convince me that he is a franchise QB or even a guy you want to stick with for another season. One game doesn’t erase all the negative play and limitations from the past couple of years. I hope he balls out and continues to get better but for me the verdict is still out   That said, I think he gave the team and fans hope yesterday which is a lot more than what we had when we woke up Sunday morning. 
    • He was vastly improved today and we need to see more of Bryce the rest of the season to continue evaluate him in order to decide what the heck to do with him at the end of the season. He must play at least like this and improve more from here the rest of the season in order for me to keep him. No more 123 yard passing games and want to see at least this output weekly from him. If this is Bruce improving slowly over time then Canales is even better with developing QB's than I thought he was but still too early to tell and we need to see him the rest of the way as he has at very least earned back the starting gig moving forward.
