Thread: Darnold

Do you want to see him in Denver?

What would you give up for him?

Hell no.

Maybe after 2021. Musical chairs at QB and OC is doom unless that QB or OC are masters (eg Manning, Reid). The rest of these scrubs like Darnold, Lock, Shurmur, Scangarello....they need stability and consistency to find success and then confidence. That never happens with constant 1 and done...it wouldn't have happened for Manning either.

Id rather wentz. I said when Darnold came out that I like chad kelly better.

I wouldn't hate Wentz on the very cheap to come in and compete, but I think some team will look at his "talent" (that we haven't seen in like 3 years now) and pay him more then he's worth.

Darnold would be fine as a backup I guess but he still stinks as an option to start.

I just don't see how any are better than Lock (and his potential).

MO be damned.

I agree there is no one that will be available this offseason that will be a clear upgrade. But I also think we should bring in someone with a pulse who will be a good backup but could also push for the job.

I can see that logic.

I just don't think the ones mentioned in the thread are that guy, and I'm not sure there's one out there either.

I'm loyal to a fault sometimes, and I freely admit that.

Darnold is better than Lock IMO but it may be close. I liked Lock coming in, but he simply isn't good. We have weapons. We have improved the blocking. He simply looks below average. Awful footwork and decision making. He is good on the move but can't read a defense from the pocket. I say keep the coaches and get him some competition. But I wouldn't give up a 1 for Darnold. Ideally a 3, but someone will give more.

Lock might legitimately better than Darnold right now, common sense should dictate giving Lock the same amount of time Darnold has had to make a fair comparison but you’ve already made your conclusion.

Strong chance Stafford will be cut to avoid $10M roster bonus in Feb/March (I think I got that date right)

How is Andrew Luck's health? I would like to see Andrew Luck in Denver uniforms. However, it won't happen. Darn.

Luck isn’t coming back.
