IS, i appreciate the sentiments and the effort but you're just parroting baseless platitudes that can be applied to any young QB prospect in any troubled situation/bad team in this league without having had to watch just how fvcked and broken he has become developmentally. it's not actually an argument rooted in the reality that is the player and this team
The past five years we've been in position to draft Patrick Mahomes, Lamar Jackson, Deshaun Watson, Dak Prescott and Josh Allen. I think we all can agree none of them would have had the success here that they have where they are. Do you think Darnold is that much different?
Being in position to draft a guy is half the battle. Drafting the right guys and building a team is the part we have to get right with Douglas. It's going to take some time, whether the Jags win next week and we get Lawrence or if they don't and we keep Darnold. Young guys are usually a product of their environment, so we need that right before any of these young guys can succeed here.
