Practice Football. #1 Pick NFL When asked what he was going to do during the bye, he replies Practice Football. If this kid wins a Super Bowl he is a legend.

Iv got his jersey in my closet right now, I dont want him to fail, and I dont think he will fail. But I would be lying if I said I thought he was going to be elite. I fully expect him to be here for awhile and be a solid qb. However that just isn't enough to warrent a number 1 overall pick to me, I expect top 5 play for that kinda investment.

But why let inconvenient facts like that get in the way of an "awesome" narrative? I have no idea what kind of point you are trying to make here.

bizzyeddie Posted yesterday at 02:09 PM Report Share Posted yesterday at 02:09 PM 19 hours ago, titansfan said: Nope. Its not that simple. The Infrastructure here would not lead to a productive Darnold. We'd probably have just 1 additional win and would be looking at Mendoza or Simpson praying we'd get the 1st pick for an unexciting group of QBs. And if we didn't get the 1st pick we would either have to trade that draft capitol to get in position to grab one or we'd be doing what New York is doing which is betting on 2026 and 2027. if they had gone after Darnold it would have been a commitment that was going to last more than one year. The roster still needed a lot of work but they would have more draft capital to speed that process up. thinking that Darnold was going to come in and make this team a contender right away wouldn't have been a reasonable approach...still needed to be a multi year rebuild.

Popular Post OILERMAN Posted yesterday at 02:23 PM Popular Post Report Share Posted yesterday at 02:23 PM It's going to take a few years to see how things unfold to determine Darnold vs Ward. It's not black and white. Signing Darnold and trading down for a haul and getting Abdul Carter would have been a perfectly acceptable route. Darnold would not be playing as well as he is in Seattle obviously. Ward is having a terrible season himself. If the Titans up end with Ward, trading the 2026 #1 for a haul and Ward develops into a franchise type QB(which can easily happen) then this is the better route. Anyone who scoffed at the idea of signing Darnold, you were wrong. And I think at the time they should have drafted Ward.

Doing neither and hoping there will be a sure thing top 10 QB available to them in some future draft is only rational if your plan is to get fired. titanruss, DCTitan, japan, and 2 others 4 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It comes down to which QB turns out to be the better one. The only advantage beyond that for Ward would be his rookie contract. I find it hard to say that the Titans wouldn't be better off right now with Darnold, Carter and 2 1st round draft pics in the next draft one of which belongs to the Giants. oldschool 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NashvilleNinja Posted yesterday at 02:39 PM Report Share Posted yesterday at 02:39 PM Signing Darnold signals you didn't think his one good season out of SEVEN was a fluke, on top of thinking this team was ready to win now, regardless of any opinions about Darnold himself. Are ya'll really saying this team was ready to win now? Would signing Darnold not have been mercilessly ridiculed had he (most likely) come here and looked like a bad QB on a horrible team? People weren't wrong for scoffing at signing Darnold any more than people are right for already being out on Ward. Darnold looked mostly like shit on shitty teams from 2018-2023. Why do people think he'd look any better here? DCTitan 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
NashvilleNinja Posted 23 hours ago Report Share Posted 23 hours ago On the other hand, if you sign Darnold after getting a good look at Ward at the combine then it signals you didn't think much of Ward at all. So if we had signed Darnold it lets you know a lot about Ward. On the third hand, the Giants probably don't think as much of Ward either and they may not care about trading up and giving us a haul. So maybe we have to stay at 1 and pick Carter there. DCTitan 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
