Magnus-Viktor Posted May 2 Share Posted May 2 it will be interesting to see how much playing time he'll get, and how soon it happens if he does play this season. Me, personally, I want to see him pretty soon. I've seen enough of Darnold to know he's no good. I'd rather have the unknown with upside, than the known with no upside. I also don't want to see his confidence get destroyed either though. That's going to be the most interesting part of this season to me. The rest of the team is essentially, same old, same old. The Bama edge that they drafted didn't do much in all of the "vs Alabama" videos I watched last night on youtube, but I'm sure he'll make splash plays at times. Jones at RB is an upgrade, if he's healthy (but he only averages about 800 yards and 6 TDs a season, but does so at 5 YPC). OLBs were upgraded, but lost Hunter, so may be a bit of a wash. There will be a step back in passing from Cousins, but a step up from the scrubs that played after he got hurt, regardless of who the QB is.....even if it's Darnold. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fran retired holding every major passing stat, that means he achieved the concept of being elite above his peers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
