More for me. I had an interest of 2 and now it is a solid 5. 

Similar. Not jumping for joy by any means but it adds an interesting element.

I suspect we will see more national spotlight because of Mayfield being here too. That's going to be an interesting thing to watch develop.

I, for one, am glad there will be increased scrutiny on our situation.

I don't know if my expectations are higher, but it's probably fair to say things are more interesting now.

Yeah, I framed the question that way intentionally. 

That was basically what I wanted after the draft and free agency. Just something to make me interested in even watching in 2022.

I think Baker makes that almost a definite since we couldn't count on seeing Corral.

Probably the best perspective on the situation.

I was very clear about my view on that prior to the trade. With Baker or Jimmy G, there is at least something to WATCH. With the Darnold/Corral situation, there is a high likelihood of seeing more of Darnold than any of us ever wants to. IMO, that isn't anything that is worth watching. Saw that story last season. No reason to watch the redux. 

So, even though I think Rhule is an idiot that will have anothet losing season, a new starting QB gives me a reason to watch. Especially one with the insane talent level Mayfield has. Doesn't even have to succeed. I will watch because it's interesting. 

Low bar, perhaps but that's where I am.

Until Tepper, I never missed a game.  The last time I cheered was Cam’s TD pass in AZ.  I’m at the lowest point of my fandom since inception.  
 

An average QB you say?

      I kinda hate getting our pick spoiled but at least the Huddle has more Time to debate

      By PleaseCutStewart · Posted

      I don't care about offensive production for a team that literally only threw to him and the running back. I care about what I see on film:   Dude cannot separate on his own against talented LBs/S and had to be schemed open; his route running is below average; while pretty athletic, he doesn't have elite athleticism or speed; his blocking form has quite a few red flags (dude should be a dominant run blocker for his size). He was talented enough to get open in college against a slower LB/S; that won't be the case in the NFL. Not to mention, the dude pretty much was nonexistent until this year for Penn St. If I am drafting a TE in the top 10, choosing a 5th year senior that didn't do anything until his last season should be pretty alarming. Not saying he is going to be a bad player - I think he will be a solid short/intermediate possession TE in the NFL. I just don't understand the logic of taking him top 10

      No one is arguing where we were on the season.  After the benching Bryce was one of the top deep ball passers in the league.  It's a skillset he has just shown he is capable of doing.  I believe he led the league in week 12 and was one of the top ones for that final quarter.  Dance around the topic and argue the stats all you want, I'm just going by what I saw on TV and read about.   https://x.com/PattonAnalytics/status/1877044086709854343 https://www.si.com/nfl/panthers/news/bryce-young-best-against-pressure-throwing-deep Hey it surprised me as well, but I'm not going to hide my head in the sand and try to ignore what is clearly right in front of me.  People have a hard time admitting their original thought may have been wrong.  That's just the world we live in.  We will see if Young can keep it up next year or not, but signs are point to DC running his offense regardless of who is QB.

      You are right, but as of late there has been more rookie TEs making immediate impact on teams. McBride, Laporta, Kincaid and obv Bowers.  My true opinion is the team has so many holes they can go multiple directions including Safety. So it just comes down to out of all the talent in the draft who will make the immediate impact. Wr? TE? LB?
