I hope we don't continue with Darnold.  There are far too many options hitting FA this year.

Brady, Garoppolo, Jones, Brissett, Smith, Jackson, Dalton, White, Minshew . . . etc.

Yes, we need to draft a guy we believe in, but there is no reason we can't come up with something better to fill the gap.

Didnt I read somewhere that we were interested in Kafka as the next Head Coach? So careful what you ask for lol

There's no real word on who we might be interested in yet. The only potential future head coach that's being discussed right now is Steve Wilks.

Kafka's name is being mentioned in the circles that discuss future head coaches in general.

I was just remembering something.  I went to a Wake Duke game several years ago.  Both teams were decent, and Wake took an early lead, but Duke came back and won.  

Wake played two qb's that day, John Wolford and Kendall Hinton.  Daniel Jones played for Duke.  If someone had told me that one day, all three would start games for NFL teams, I would have questioned the sanity of the person saying it.

Daniel Jones 85.7 passer rating still ranks in the bottom half of starting quarterbacks. Nuff said.

Maybe bottom half in passer rating BUT he's been top 10 in 3 different stat categories in 2 of his 4 years,

 

 

Interceptions

Interception percentage 

fumbles

 

He'll Fitterer right in.

It's a legitimate possibility

 

Sam Darnold is a top notch backup. Anyone who can’t see it is just sour because he sucks as a starter. If you need him for 3 games a season he’s about as good as you can get. All the physical tools, makes all the throws, the only knock on him is he makes too many crippling mistakes. That’s why he’s only a backup. 

I have no problem re-signing him IF they draft a QB in the first round and get him on the field sometime in his first season.

He's had some good stretches so he'll definitely land some place as a backup. But I don't know if I'd say he's top notch.

Regardless I agree that using him as a bridge isn't that bad an idea. There will be other options though, and it depends what he wants for a contract. I can't help but think some of the others might be more interesting as vet bridges.... E.g. Gardner Minshew... Otoh he feels like one of the QBs that is going to want to be more than a bridge or backup. Darnold, depending on his last five, might too.

I see 2 scenarios for how this alll unfolds.

 

1. Sam balls out and we go 4-1. Both Sam and Wilks return.

 

2. Sam continues to struggle, and we go 2-3. Neither Sam nor Wilks return. 

 

I like option 1, because you can build off a strong finish. But we'd still have Sam and Wilks. However, you have to start a winning culture somewhere.

 

I like option 2 for the future. But I hate losing games. It makes building a winning culture so much more difficult.

      Yeah I think they are wanting to let XL and Coker develop, but I don't see nothing wrong with a speed guy on day 2

      Trading Down Could be a Gold Mine in This Draft!!

      By Basbear · Posted

      Finding that dance partner will be difficult and who's to say the team trading up has not offer a package to 5th, 6th, 7th??? They did and were turned down most likely.    I still feel 8th is the hot spot for OT run. If you want the best OT/OL in the draft, 8th is the way.    *But Ive been reading lots of Jets and others having Membou as their pick. Banks and Campbell are right there in great value terms. The whole deal is that pick for the Panthers, they are not looking to spend a top resource on OL, 31 other teams are.    I've also been seeing sanders falling out of the top ten, I just have a hard time buying that. ALso seen dart being drafted in the top ten. FYI last year NO ONE had a 1st round grade on Bo Nix and many thought Michael Penix Jr. was at best late 1st early 2nd. I laugh hard at the failcons drafting Penix at 8th, but I stopped laughing during that week 18 game.... he looked legit......barf....  So... one team could easily trade up for sanders or dart or begin the OL run or Jeanty causes a stir as he falls.  There are legit options, Brandt and Dan get paid for this...

      Trading Down Could be a Gold Mine in This Draft!!

      I'm with you.  Even an extra 3rd would help.  None of the players you listed are elite though.  Sadly there are very few of those in this draft, but there are a lot of good players in the late first and into the second. We need to realize that we can't get all our needs in this year's draft.  We know we need some sort of edge, a safety, and I feel we need to use one of first 4 picks on a CB, preferably 3rd at latest.  And I want to draft an OT in 3rd to learn behind Moton this year. The extra 2nd would be huge.  2 things Bear Hands has noted in other threads, we can get a rusher in the mid rounds of the first, and if a good LT is available at our pick we should be able to get a deal. I'm ok.  If the media takes are close, trading back to around 15 should get us a second, and since our second is near the end of that round, getting one earlier opens up a whole lot of opportunities.  Either way, Canales builds his infrastructure with this draft.  Next year, with all our picks and probably picking somewhere between 10 and 15, we can get real stars.   All of this depends on hitting on picks this year.
