OT: 2019 Football Thread: Part III – Danny Dimes and Sammy Spleens Edition

[Hunter Gathers]

Jones looks just as awful yesterday tho vs Arizona

Yeah, no. Jones wasn't all that bad vs Arizona. It was a rough game, but nowhere near this rough.

 

[East Coast Bias]

What stout did you crack?

Lagunitas Brett Stout. It's aged in red wine. Its' real good.

Best kept to nights when I don't have to work the next morning, though.

Jones looks just as awful yesterday tho vs Arizona

Uh, no he did not. In fact, none of Jones five games come close to that display from Darnold last night.

 

[17futurecap]

It's honestly impressive Dolan, Wilpon and Johnson could all own sports teams in the same city.

 

[Hunter Gathers]

Uh, no he did not. In fact, none of Jones five games come close to that display from Darnold last night.

Yep. And I am a well-known Darnold fan as well. I think he's going to be better than Jones.

But that was some Eli Manning rookie year level stuff from Darnold.

That Raven game comes to mind. lol

 

[Hunter Gathers]

That Raven game comes to mind. lol

I have blocked out that game. Sorry, it was erased.

 

[klingsor]

It's times like these that though I cursed him at times I realise how humane Rozelle was with a 12 game schedule and the 6 home games blacked out in the Metropolitan area.

 

[Vinny DeAngelo]

Ouch

[Ghost of jas]

This needs to happen.

 

[Ghost of jas]

Yeah, no. Jones wasn't all that bad vs Arizona. It was a rough game, but nowhere near this rough.

His TD pass to Ellison alone made sure of that. His ability to put the ball in the smallest of windows is what has impressed me most. Frankly, his accuracy is better than anything I ever saw from Eli.

 

[Hunter Gathers]

This needs to happen.

I can't help but think the dead money makes this cost-prohibitive.

 

[Ghost of jas]

Will it cut into next year’s cap?

[JESSEWENEEDTOCOOK]

Mahomes back at practice

Not human

 

[rangersfansince08]

Jones has better accuracy than Eli for sure. Just needs pocket presence and stop trying to do so much. And I trade Solder anyday.

Anybody else heard Brady and Belichick might be leaving NE. Any chance Belichick comes home? I know its a longshot.

Patricia Traina clarifies in comments:

Correct, it's an OBJ situation. But why would we want a huge dead money hit for him?

 

[Bob Richards]

My thing with Solder is, getting out of his awful contract would be amazing.

But what is there to replace him? I get that he's not good and I'm fully on board with that but what is our tackle depth to replace him at the blindside? Nick Gates/Chad Slade who are guards?

Just food for thought but if the Browns wanna go full Browns and give up something valuable for him then lol

 

[Hunter Gathers]

Solder is $13M in dead cap next year and $6.5M the year after.

How do we keep dealing with bad Gettleman deals?

What about Wheeler?

 

[Hunter Gathers]

What about Wheeler?

He's on the Seahawks practice squad, now.

Alrighty then!

Belichick probably walks away when Brady decides to call it a day.

 

[ponzu4u]

The team is not trading their starting left tackle during the rookie season of their #6 overall QB.

There is no option on the team anywhere remotely near Solder's level.

Or we're going to trade Solder for good enough assets to then trade for a different left tackle who is better than Solder?
