I expect Rhule and co to bring that same offseason energy at QB then. They couldn’t wait to get TB out.

Well, through six games they weren't being terribly critical of Teddy yet. That has not been the case for Darnold. Rhule talked yesterday about how Darnold hasn't been playing well. IMO, they will be off that bandwagon far sooner. 

Teddy can lull you to sleep because he completes a high percentage of his passes and does a decent job of taking care of the ball. Darnold does not have that. His mistakes are so incredibly obvious and back breaking. That will make any coach around upset. 

Plus, Teddy is pretty static in his performances game to game and Darnold is ALL over the map.

They couldn't wait to get rid of Bridgewater because he was clearly toxic.

Maybe they'll move on from Darnold - or hopefully they'll address the iOL and give him a chance. He's flashed way more than Bridgewater ever did.

just saying.. TB did do the goal line "jump & reach" [resulting in a fumble] that they used as the smoking gun to convict and ship him out of town..

i am not sure i'd rather have TB at this point but im just depressed about this team..

Bridgewater's performances fell off a cliff after his injury.

He has flashed more but also been holy poo worse. That's the problem. He is the most Jekyll and Hyde QB we have ever had, IMO. And we had Jake so that says a lot.

I think the team would be performing better with Teddy right now but I think the overall season results(W's/L's) wouldn't be dramatically different. Darnold will directly lose us games and likely many times. Teddy will not be able to win us games and likely many times. It's really just about how you want to see your losses.

My only issues with Teddy was that it seemed like he refused to push the ball down field. Oh, that terrible goal line pass in the Minnesota game last year. I never forgave him for that mess. 

Yeah, that was the critical flaw in Teddy. He didn't have any instinct at all to win games or take risks. 

Look at this season. Statistically, he is on pace for his best season in the NFL but.....they are 3-3. He just can't win you games.

      Verge, why do you like Mykel Williams?

      No, but considering that over a third (~35%) of their schedule are the other three teams in the NFC South and all three have strong starting (and back-up) RBs that the offense leans heavily on to open up the pass game. ATL: Bijan has this season and next season before the Falcons have to make a decision on his fifth-year option, Tyler Allgeier is a proven back-up RB that could start for some teams, and 2024 sixth-round selection Jase McClellan returns from a knee injury that sidelined him for the remainder of the season starting in early September. Combine that with their QB situation, and that's a team that is going to lean heavily on the run just like they did last season when they were 8th in the league in rushing attempts, 10th in rushing yards, 8th in rushing TDs, 9th in rushing attempts on 1st down, . NO: Similar situation as ATL, but for different reasons. Derek Carr is in the second to last year of his deal and the QBs behind him are Spencer Rattler, Jake Haener, and Ben DiNucci. However, they also have Alvin Kamara. One thing that we know about Kellen Moore from his stints as an OC is that he likes to lean heavily on a versatile RB1 while bringing in an arguably equally versatile RB2 to keep their foot on opposing defenses. When Moore had Zeke in Dallas, Zeke was 4th in the league in touches during those four years but Pollard still averaged 10 touches and nearly 60yds a game. Look for the Saints to shore up their RB room in the draft with Kendre Miller, CEH, Jordan Mims, and Xazavian Valladay all competing for touches behind Kamara. TB: Bucky Irving exploded onto the scene last season, but we can't forget more than capable (now-)RB2 Rachaad White. White is on the last year of his rookie deal, but Irving is under contract until 2028. Last season, the Bucs were 10th in rushing attempts, 4th in rushing yards, 3rd in YPC, 7th in carries of 20+, 8th in carries of 40+, and 7th in first down rushing attempts and that helped Baker Mayfield be one of the most efficient passers in the league with a 71.4% completion percentage (good enough for 2nd in the league).
