No more retreads or reclamation projects at QB

[AggieLean]

I really hope Watson’s legal issues are solved. 
 

Give me Sam Howell or Watson. Darnold ain’t it. Doesn’t seem to be a leader of men, and I think he’s nothing more than a backup. Folks want a Delhomme badly on here, but he’s Delhomme after Arizona.

Care to explain? This seems to be one of the few things he's actually good at... By all accounts he is a leader.

He's just unfortunately not very good for most of the game.

Edit: agree on other sentiments tho.  Darnold isn't really our answer... But I'm worried we will stick a rookie behind this shitty OL with even worse results...

Idt Wilson is going anywhere. He’s going to force them to fire PC and he’ll stay and have a bunch of power. 
 

Who knows with Watson and his legal stuff. 
 

I doubt Rodgers wants to chase a SB wjth Brady in division. 

I'm just throwing out possible potential names. I haven't really thought through the viability of any of them.

That'll be fun when their new QB (acquired in a franchise crippling deal) gets crippled behind this Oline. 

We're gonna have a lot of cap space. I just hope we shop smarter on the OL next year compared to this year. Hopefully Christensen and Brown can develop too. I REALLY wish we'd bite the bullet and give Moton a legit fulltime look at LT.

I was a bit harsh with that. I just don’t think he has the ability to constantly bring up the team and will them to a victory. He hasn’t shown it in his 4 years in the league. This team is missing a Cam like player on offense. I’d argue the defense is missing that as well

We are either drafting a guy or rolling with Sam another year. 

Quite possibly both. We've already picked up his 5th year option. We could draft a rookie and still have Darnold here so that we weren't forced to play the rookie until he's ready.

Im just worried if we do draft a rookie QB that our OL will remain basically the same.

Moton is a RT. He's also nowhere near as good at RT as many of you want to believe. He's a good NFL starter - nothing more. 

Don't ruin him by asking him to relearn his technique and play LT. This coaching staff dabbled with it in pre-season and didn't like it at all (and yes the Cowboys game tells you they don't see Christensen as a LT either if they were willing to move Moton off his spot to accommodate him).

That's fair. He's no Superman... Not even close. It did seem like he put the offense on his back in that 4th quarter but it was too little too late.

It feels a bit like this offense treats CMC as that Cam-like player.  Too bad he can't stay on the field anymore.

Jones or Mariota would be fine for cheap providing we draft a rookie. Basically they can be capable placeholders.  

we are stuck with Darnolds 5th year option, for better or worse Id rather just let him be the back up next season due to the sunk cost. maybe let him get killed behind the OL some more before our rookie comes in.

No more college coaches too.

I don't  know what's wrong with Robby. In N.Y he was very reliable as a pass catcher. Very few drops. Did he have this problem here, last year???

Robby was nothing but a deep threat in NY. Last year, Robby was a good all around receiver and mostly running underneath routes. This year, he’s complete trash with Darnold.

Marcus Mariota is not a placeholder.  He's a wasted roster spot.  The guy is so brittle he literally came in for 1 play and ended up on IR.  In 2020 he went on IR before playing a single regular season game.

Unc turds are going to be screaming for Howell all draft season. Lord please don’t let that happen. 

Will Grier is better than Howell.
