He’s either going to get better and we look like a borderline playoff team or he’s going to suck and we will be picking high again. Tibs from Oregon will drop to us and we are going to pair him with Burns.

I want an LT and it's got absolutely nothing to do with Darnold or anything else having to do with this year. I'm writing this year off. LT is important this year only for providing a solid foundation for next year's coach and QB.

I don't want Darnold, but this team is determined to fug things up. Let them.

If only it was so easy to pick and choose when you have the luxury of adding your QB.

No inside sources here, but I don't buy it either.

I seriously doubt Matt Rhule wants to go into a season where he needs to win to save his job with Darnold as his starter.

As mentioned before, I think Fitterer wants to draft a quarterback but Rhule wants a veteran.

I doubt there is any veteran we could conceivably get that would turn Rhule into a winner, unless the defense and run game improve so much next year that the qb is of secondary importance.

Or when you choose not to get a bad one or miss out on a stud LT.

At least one of these "stud LTs" is gonna bust hard. Probably the one Matt Rhule wants.

I don't think so either, but Rhule might.

At the very least, he might prefer someone like Garoppolo to any of the rookies.

I'm mostly on an island here but I think it's possible that Sam can play at a reasonably high level. 

[matt rhules gut fat]

People already talking themselves into  playing Darnold again as a good idea lol.

How many times do you have to get kicked in the nuts before you want it to stop?

Same with QB. More likely the QB will bust than the LT.
