I was right about this one..... all the people throwing fits about a 5th round or later C.....

 

Our Oline hasn't been the problem....  our average starting lineman PFF grade is 69.66 we have a lot of issues but the line isn't one.

I wasn't ever that worried about him. I just knew for whatever reason they weren't going there in the draft or it figured pretty strongly they wouldn't.

But I wasn't arguing that there would be no errant snaps. So far so good.

Nah he just sucks our line wasn’t even that terrible last year. Not good but not so bad that it would break an otherwise good QB

I feel like this is a sentiment I used to hold, but at some point we have to take a look in the mirror. Every QB that has left here has thrived and done way better. Eventually we have to be ok admitting that its us and hope things are different going forward lol.

Yeah we have ownership induced fickleness. Coaches, quarterbacks, revolving door. But the story, in the first place, is just not based on a sturdy set of assumptions. 

These people are not Bryce Young comps. Start there. They were more legit prospects with actual arm talent and are not at all physical outliers. 

They actually have the tools to thrive, if they use them properly. Bryce has like, a tool box with the little plastic hammer and plastic saw, particularly compared to Darnold

Mayfield was bad on his own. Like Bryce. Plus how in the hell did the team even have time to mess him up? He was bad right out of the gate. I am telling you, this can be twisted into we helped him. I'll spare y'all the details. 

Mayfield sat. Like Bryce will. It helped him. I don't know that there will be another point of similarity going forward. But if anything will help Young, it would be this. Definition of insanity and all that. Stop repeating it. 

Darnold, was Jets failure we did somewhat rehab. It took him another year on another team to have some success why he has not yet sustained. We have to wait and see.

We are the 2nd team of 4. I think. That's it. Also was good here for the same amount of time he has been in Minnesota. And if he does well we can say the same thing next week.

This is just lazy stuff. They get away it because people are fuging dumb.

Andy Dalton hasn't played 16 games since 2017.   Dude is older.  We aren't really positioned for too hard of a victory lap on never seeing Bryce Young play again. 

Andy not playing the next 15 games. Was already a little dinged. Don’t know if they’ll bring in another guy, but he’s not making it through the entire season.
