I'm willing to give Sam one more year if the team fixes the O-line

It should have been done last year.  What has been done hopefully can be corrected.

I don’t think you can correct having an arrogant douche bag who thinks he’s the smartest person in every room he walks into as an owner.

uh yea ok it’s the oline fault unless it’s Darnold It’s not hard to see cam is god awful 

Your reading comprehension is broken, get out your feelings, I’ve said multiple multiple times neither qb can succeed, but I’m not paying 18-19 mil for what darnold has shown when by some accounts on here the “lesser” qb has performed just as well while not being here the entire season and getting paid a fraction of what darnold will be next year.

Not completely fixed but enough to give the QB protection.  It has to be.

Exactly, I think Brady Christenson needs some more time but get a solid Center and a competent guard and this team can get it done.

Can't argue about Tepper.  Hopefully he's seen his outlandish ways.

We would have a legit chance at 0-17 next year if that is the case, with 3-14 being the ceiling.

I hate Sam and we need to draft a QB high but we don’t have much choice but to keep Sam around for a year unless we can find a sucker to offload his contract to.

You need 3 if not 4 spots on the line to be fixed. Best case, 2 if somehow Christensen and brown BOTH work out leaving LT (massive issue) and center (massive issue) both to fix with 1st and no 2nd and lots of other missing picks. If you trade out of the likely top 10 pick, you can say goodbye to a top LT unless you expect a lot of luck/stupidity by the rest of the league. And finding the stud C as a rookie in 3rd plus, good luck. 

 

They completely screwed the pooch this year with the FA handouts to TERRIBLE OL with years and $ left. I'm not sold they know what a good OL look like in the NFL. 1st Rhule has gotten a mediocre line and completely let it go to poo. 2nd while at Seattle, it's not like FITT exactly got expert training on finding OL in the draft. Seattle struggled to find guys to keep Russ clean.

 

So you are pinning the hopes on 2 guys that so far haven't found a way to ever build a line to make Sam, who has looked bad behind any line, look serviceable. 

 

And if brown and Christensen don't pan out, you need 2 more that the luck in round 1 and 3...... So yeah this OL is screwed. But there is a bunch here that said early in the year it was fixable in one off-season and OL talent fell off trees in FA. like we saw this year, took a lot of swings and struck out on all of them, most teams don't let OL go if they are worth it, or you overpay on them.......

I’m honestly not so sure.

A lot rides on Christensen, if he can be a serviceable LT then we only need two guards and a center. If he fails then add the most expensive spot on the line to the above list.

Not to mention, we have a lot of guys currently on the roster who need new contracts which will eat into our cap space.

Oh, and we don’t have a second or third round pick.

Rhule and company fugged this team up for the foreseeable future.

He’s 4-5 as a starter here, not a good tank commander at all.

Here is a fact Darnold is already paid and you’re not going to be able to trade him. He is the perfect lame duck while the rookie sits for next season and fresh start 2023. Pay cam is just more money for more trash. Makes zero sense.

That will hurt.

Thank you to those that are contributing to a civil debate instead of childish gifs. 

I think sam is a good backup but gets really antsy in the pocket but weve seen what he can do with protection.

You can trade darnold, it’s going to be hard but it can be done, again I’m not wasting 19 mil on what I’ve seen from him.

if cam is trash and has performed as well as darnold off the couch what does that make darnold, you are not helping your weird argument at all 

[Call Me James]

He hasn't scored a TD in 4 weeks. He's not good.
