So the Darnold thing aside.....I think it is the worst kept secret that Purdy starts the season on the PUP list. All the talk of Lynch making it seem like Purdy will be ready for TC is BS. Shanny is more realistic but Lynch is making it seem like it is a given that Purdy will be ready lol.

I think it’s the right move. But I’d roll with Lance out of the gates if it were me.

I want the best QB to start but you're not wrong with that line of thinking.

Only way to know if there's light at the end of the tunnel is to throw him out there and let him sink or swim.

Darnold's only a year rental. Makes more sense to see where Lance stands, as a decision will have to be made on him sooner, rather than later.

Lance makes more sense out of the gate from a future roster building perspective.

If they want to build his confidence, let Darnold take the start against Pittsburgh and be bad (both Darnold and Lance will be bad in that game imo), then bench Darnold for Lance the next three on the easy teams lol

great points, and Lance's contract does not have any incentives, and I believe Darnold's is set up similarly to how Jimmy's contract was last year, so the team does have a financial incentive to have Lance win the job.

They said they are optimistic that he plays week 1...but then said only god knows lol

Honestly I don’t think the team will think that far ahead. It will be purely who gives the best chance to win in week 1, then week 2, etc. As fans we look at that. But Shanny wants to come out winning, not thinking about next years roster or salary cap implications.

Oh, I definitely agree. The job should go to the QB who gives you the best chance to win.

But if they're relatively even coming out of TC, going with Lance seems like a no-brainer if I'm thinking on how I build the team around the most important position on the field, moving forward.

That should be pretty obvious to any HC/FO tandem worth a damn.

My guesses for the Jimmy G news:

1) Getting traded to MIA - Brady is a part owner of the raiders and needs to flex on Jimmy one last time

2) He is engaged to two different porn stars at the same time

3) He is moving to Italy to become a wine maker 

4) He is getting arrested for stealing 138m from the 49ers

5) He had a botched plastic surgery and now looks exactly like Ryan Jensen 

6) His brothers announced a sweet birthday party for him in the middle of the season after a game

7) He finally texted George Kittle back
