    JSN is pretty good.

    Glad we have two good corners though.

    Glad Nick didn’t fall for that one. Get a couple of guards now and then go draft Golden.

    If Kupp stays healthy that’s a big get for Seattle.
    They have picks, some nice young talent.
    Division that has 9ers and Rams on the decline.

    Foe those bashing Darnold, he was far better than Stroud last season. Maybe it was a flash in the pan, but if not, with those two receivers and those two backs that division is ripe for the picking

    That’s because Minny has weapons and KOC is one of the best offensive masterminds in the league. We saw the real darnold in his last two games in Minny

    Darnold sucks, there’s nothing to see. If he was the texans qb our offense wouldn’t have been top 30 last season, and that’s not an exaggeration.

    Becton signs with the Chargers. 2 year deal. Unless he can also throw the ball, I don't see them winning a playoff game in this century.
    But I like Harbaugh.

    We will see.
    Darnold is talented. Could be a flash in the pan. Then again, so could CJ.

    Also, Kupp, JSN, Walker, Charbonet and Fant isn’t exactly lacking in talent. Plus a bunch of picks

    Rams aren't on the decline at all. They have a young team and just retooled with Adams who's better than Kupp.

    Darnold was good last year because he had a lot of time in the pocket. We saw what happened when he didn't. CJ finished the season much better than Darnold did

    Adams isn’t better than Kupp. It’s at best a wash.
    Rams are losing more than they’re gaining overall.

    CJ didn’t finish the season very strong either. Game logs are right there.

    Darnold was sacked 48 times, CJ 52.

    CJ finished the season against a gauntlet with 1 receiver and a garbage OL.

    Our hands are tied. I'm a be captain obvious and say depending on rookies out of college to come in the NFL year one and be successful is a huge risk especially looking at these years of CJ being on a rookie contract. I'm just preaching to the choir. I just wished we would have signed veteran linemen and went with rookie skill players.

    To his credit, his distribution among receivers not named Collins was pretty amazing. So what appears as little help should perhaps be looked at in total.

    He should be better this season, if not then he’s not the guy.
    All I’m saying is for all those saying Darnold is trash, he was far better than CJ last season.
    And you can see pressure rates, sacks weren’t that much different.

    Anyone who KNOWS football know CJ was and is not the problem. The issue with last yr's team was strictly coaching. Anytime a team go 6, 7 games and do not score in the 2nd half, do not make any adjustments, that's coaching!

    And you can't find a GM, past or present, that would say Sam Darnold is better than CJ at any point and time.....I really can't believe anyone would think that.
    Darnold better than CJ??? Lol

    I do not belive Sam D. Is better than Cj.
    But the Jets GM sure liked him back when he was drafted.
    He went 1-3
    Stroud went 1-2

    2 years, $20M - Chargers going to run the ball down your throat so no more 4 pick games
