1 pick ... I know you want to act like we didn't get those picks back.. But reality is all we end up giving up is 1 2nd round pick for Sam... 

And I don't blame the effort nor do I think it was a crazy plan... It has worked before when a highly drafted QB goes to a different team and has a better career..

Favre, Young, Brees, and others...

Farve hot garbage in Atlanta,  Young and Doug Williams hot Garbage in Tampa..

We didn’t get those picks back in exchange for nothing. It dropped our draft positions and made us miss out on more talented players. If we did not acquire Sam and still made those moves we would have even more picks. The cost of Sam was still 3 picks. Not crazy high picks, but 3. 
Put it this way, if I buy a house for 500,000 and sell some other possessions for 200,000 the cost of the house doesn’t magically drop to 300,000. It’s still a 500,000 expense.

So are we going to argue ifs and buts and draft position now as a major risk  now.. Then team should make no moves because the fantasy what they could have done is the reason to never do anything and stay stagnant...okay

Nope, the argument is the team should not make dumb moves and preferably not consecutively.

WOW clearly has been drinking tonight 

Again you said getting 6 out of 7 players contributing in a draft is a bad move... And I'm drunk?? Lol

Still waiting

By your reasoning any move not giving great results is a dumb move.... There is no reason to ever make a move with any risk in it.. You must be perfect and run the most boring business in history..

No I’m just saying just because we acquired more picks at a later time doesn’t mean Darnold cost less to acquire. It’s more of finance/economic thinking. I loved Fitts jumping around and being active in the draft.

Trading for Sam for what we gave was dumb.

There’s years of tape showing who he is. 

I don’t mind making moves just not these dumb moves.

Your opinion...

3 weeks ago you weren't posting how dumb a move it was... 

I love how ppl come in halfway thru (still not even done with the process) and call a move dumb after the fact...

Facts are 

Young  top 5 talented player by most Scouts opinion was a available for low compensation... 

Qb going to a different team and having success isn't a weird or outbound theory and has worked in the past for lesser talented players...

The team tried other options it didn't worked out.. They took a swing for bigger rewards with low risk.. In the position they were put in it wasn't a bad 4th option by most analysts opinion..

10 games left we are still in the experimental phase.. Its still to early.. 7 games into a 17 games season is to early to make a final judgment...

    • The bottom lines to me are that a) we played well enough to beat the best team in the league and b) Bryce Young is growing into a bridge QB role (his ceiling) for us. As much as I don't want BY around after the season, it seems DC can still build the O with a game manager at QB for now. Best case scanario, we can build the D through the draft this year and take a QB we have conviction outside the 1st this or next draft. If BY keeps improving, we are going to win a couple more games this year.
    • Bryce has been a completely different QB since coming back. That started in Denver where it was obviously he was playing a lot more loose and willing to push the ball downfield  Bryce continues to build off of the previous weeks performance and that’s what you want to see Bryce has been making some real good anticipation throws. Reading defenses well. Pushing the ball downfield (7 throws of 20+ air yards yesterday. 8 if you want to include PI to Thielen). The deep ball accuracy has been there. Some of Young’s best throws yesterday were incompletions. Sideline balls to XL and Moore both should’ve been caught. RZ dot to Tremble should’ve been caught. And another RZ ball to Moore that Young gave him a chance at. Bryce is starting to execute Canales offense and yesterday Canales finally opened it up a bit. Canales was to blame for the 126 passing yards in Germany as he played a more conservative game.  The next bit I’m looking for his for Young to be a bit more decisive with running the ball. Start putting that on film and it’ll help open things up a tad
    • This KC team isn't the juggernaut it once was.  How many one score games have they won this season?  How many of those one score wins would probably have been loses if Mahomes wasn't the QB?  Their secondary is vulnerable and it was obvious today.  Grandpa Thielen was able to get open at will all game long. Bryce played well, but thinking this is the exact same KC defense Young was able to move the ball against as last year isn't going to compute.  Last year's KC defense was #2 overall.  They have regressed. I've said it before, Bryce can move the ball before the red zone, but once there, he struggles.  He is not a threat with his legs and the passing windows get much tighter.  He's not turning the ball over, so that is a great place to start and build upon.  I still question much better he can get.  Beyond a game manager?  I highly doubt it.
