Look, I'm not fan of Sam Darnold either.  He sucks.

But of course the HC and GM are going to express support for him.  Why?  Because it quite frankly makes the most sense to stick with him in 2022.  We made a dumb error of committing $18m to him.  None of the QBs are worth drafting where we're picking.  So the only way you move on is if you are able to swing a trade for one of the top QBs.  But there is no guarantee that is going to happen.  So why throw your QB under the bus before you have to?

That is what we did with Teddy last year, and it is probably the biggest reason we had to trade him.  Otherwise you keep Teddy and never make the horrendous Darnold trade.  Right now we need stop doubling down on mistakes.  You stick with Darnold unless you can secure Watson or one of the other young elites.  And even if you get Watson you're gonna probably need Darnold for 6-10 games next year.

I don't see how Rhule keeps his job if he sticks with Darnold next year. I don't know if Fitterer is tied to Rhule or not.

      We looked like a competent NFL team PIE thread

      By Prowler2k18 · Posted

      We could easily pick apart yesterday’s game: dropped passes, blown coverages, bad tackling and red zone issues to name a few. But it was clear that this wasn’t the same team from earlier in the season. They fought back and hung with the champs until the end. That’s what I was excited to see and it gives me hope that we’re on the right track.

      Bryce developing before our eyes

      By Pejorative Miscreant · Posted

      I think BY played well today and exceeded expectations. I will temper future expectations as he has to string together many games of consistent quality. One game doesn’t convince me that he is a franchise QB or even a guy you want to stick with for another season. One game doesn’t erase all the negative play and limitations from the past couple of years. I hope he balls out and continues to get better but for me the verdict is still out   That said, I think he gave the team and fans hope yesterday which is a lot more than what we had when we woke up Sunday morning.

      Bryce Young - Good and Bad, what say you?

      By Ricky Prickles · Posted

      He was vastly improved today and we need to see more of Bryce the rest of the season to continue evaluate him in order to decide what the heck to do with him at the end of the season. He must play at least like this and improve more from here the rest of the season in order for me to keep him. No more 123 yard passing games and want to see at least this output weekly from him. If this is Bruce improving slowly over time then Canales is even better with developing QB's than I thought he was but still too early to tell and we need to see him the rest of the way as he has at very least earned back the starting gig moving forward.
