[Darnold is unimpressive tonight]

He has to come out. He will be a top 5 pick no matter what. If he goes back he could wind up the next Matt Barkley as Jesse Palmer mentioned on TV. Maybe he isn't quite ready but I feel like he has to come out.

Can someone please tell me why we gave Chris Kelsay that massive contract?

He brought that lunch pail. And he actually was willing to re-sign!

Don’t think that if Mahomes has an unbelievable debut Sunday Andy Reid won’t consider starting him over Alex Snith. 

 

This was my first thought when I read Mahomes was starting. 

[Darnold is unimpressive tonight]

He kind of reminds me of Christian Hackenberg before he started sucking. But I'd love to have Darnold as he is an elite prospect. Teams should not ask him to start right away as a 21 year old rookie. 

[Matt Milano graded out among top rookie LB's]

Huh. I would say exactly the opposite...

 

IMO I thought he struggled in preseason and early in the year.

And I don't know if you remember, but at that time Humber was playing really well. It's hard to say that Milano earned the job over Humber early in the year.

 

I thought Milano developed as the year went on, and did very well filling in for Humber when he got injured. Then Humber came back and didn't play nearly as well as he had earlier in the year, while Milano continued to improve. So he was then given the starting job. 

 

I think things went exactly as they should. Why should Milano, a late round rookie, have been handed a starting job to start the year when it was pretty clear to everyone that Humber earned it? 

But when it became clear that Milano should be starting, he was named the starter. Isn't that how things should work? A rookie shouldn't just be handed a starting job he hasn't earned just because he was a draft pick of the new regime. 

 

So, I'd say that first, it was a great evaluation move to snag Milano late in the draft. And then I'd say it was a good evaluation/personnel move to let him develop and name him starter when he had truly earned it. 

 

I definitely done see this as some quesrionable move to comp,win about, that for sure... 

 

 

Agree with everything you said here. My only issue has been the subbing of Humber in random spots. Ramon looks like a clear down grade when he is in there. 

[NY Giants hire Dave Gettleman as GM]

Okay so if you did our two 1s and Cordy Glenn for their one to draft Darnold is it enough? Doesn't seem like it. 

 

what else would you need to add? Apparently Gettleman and Beane were pretty close so I feel much better about the possibility of moving up.
