4-2 with Ben McAdoo and a bottom 10 pass blocking offensive line? The playing with Matt Rhule and Adam Gase?

Better hope Stroud doesn't end up in that situation or he will be a "bust" as well, as most any QB would. It's not a shocker that Ryan Tannehill got away from Gase and became a solid starting QB. Then Darnold got the same opportunity but instead of going to a staff like the Titans, he got to go to RHULE.

So give me a break with the Darnold hate. Who else do you want as a back-up? You're not getting Brissett. My guess is you'd rather end up with P.J. Walker? 

I can't help you be smarter. Not within my abilities.

Carry on with your low tier backup obsession.

waste of money?

For $5 million? A waste? Who else are you going to sign with as much experience as him for that price? P.J. Walker? Rhule's pet project?

I still think Darnold, with Jim Caldwell and Frank Reich, could be a quality starting QB. So if you get him at $5 million as a back-up, that's more than a win.

I think people vastly overrate where Darnold is rated by the NFL. 

I suspect we will see that with free agency.

If they sign him, it'll be because they believe they can coach him into at least a serviceable backup.

I have not heard his name mentioned as even a backup for any other team so far. His name has been mentioned as a bridge/backup for us a couple of times but other than that it has been crickets.

Why don't you want Sam Darnold? This would quite literally be his first NFL quality staff ever. He also proved he could be a capable back-up.

Couldn't find a gif of the goalposts moving again, but imagine I did.

I think all that "bridge" talk is over. You don't give up all that we did to draft a kid to sit behind a guy like Sam Darnold. This kid is playing day one.

I would rather we get a better vet for our new qb to learn from.

That appears to be the plan.  We still need a backup and another camp arm.
