Would you trade one of our two 5th round picks for Minshew right now…..

Hell, I and others were saying it all offseason. He was arguably superior to Sam, but Sam was the 1st rounder and Minshew a 6th. Several analytical categories indicated that Minshew was the better bet. Unfortunately, Rhule was thinking squarely inside the box, and now we're screwed again (lost draft picks and 18 mil) because of it.

It's too late for that. The premise behind that argument was to setup a competition in the off-season. 

Instead Sam was given the reigns, a contract extension, and the freedom to not play much at all the entire preseason. 

 

 

Same poo they did with Teddy. Which is why Teddy picked us over a potentially much better fit for him in Chicago.  

And I agree, if we were gonna get Minshew, it should've been done in the offseason to allow for a legit QB competition in camp.  And for the record, I think Minshew is and always has been a pro QB, which is more than I can say for Darnold.

Wanted him over Sam, bump any thread and theres plenty of me saying the same over and over.  

Rhule was scared that Minshew would have won over the players and made the 2nd, 4th, 5th draft picks for Sam look like a waste. 

Me too. Would have been nice to swap firsts and land one of their seconds and Minshew. Of course we would have needed to use one of those picks  on a lineman. Not sure when that’s going to happen.

We should have, cheaper option with more upside. 

Now it's send Darnold to the meat grinder weekly and see if we can find a Minshaw/Tubursky-esk guy to sign in the offseason or send Sam back out as a sacrifice for a true tank season in  2022.

    • If there's a prospect who looks strong on the field but has the question marks, makes sense to bring them in and see if they are indeed a nutjob or not.  Especially if they couldn't get a good sense in limited time to meet him at the combine.  Randy Mueller has talked about it before -- many GMs don't just use these top-30s to validate the guys they already love.  Although we seem to do that and kind of show our cards a lot lol.   But to the point, if they love tape, have met enough coaches/teammates and talked to them at the bowls/workouts, many teams don't need to wine and dine and get to know them.   There's certain guys who get to know regional scouts, GMs and position coaches starting mid-college season last year.    On the flipside, there's the wildcards who aren't privy to developing relationships with the pro-community while in school, have bad reps, and teams need to dig a bit further into it.  A top-30 becomes a good measuring stick for those teams think could be a stellar fit but are unsure on who the guy actually is - which matters a ton at the end of the day.  Organizational fit has so much more weight than let on and is why these drafts after the first few picks get so all over the map.
