First and foremost, shoutout to you Coller for awesome coverage all year. There’s no one who does this better!

For me, it’s an easy decision, pending ONE critical piece and that’s JJ’s health. If he’s ready to go, I’m turning it over to him. It’s time for us to get the ball rolling on the rookie qb contract. This also allows for us to build up an interior oline, add pieces in the secondary, and potentially add a piece or two on the dline. This is what gives me optimism going forward. We haven’t been in a spot like this in a long time, where it feels like they can continue to build a strong roster and sustain success. They aren’t winning 14 games again, but I do think they can be quite competitive in year 1 with JJ. SKOL!

I'll say my appreciation of Darnold grew as the season went on. I didn't think he would be bad like many, but I also didn't think he'd perform as well as he did (through the first 16 games). His ups far outnumbered his downs for most of the season. So again, I appreciate what he did. But I also recognize he failed terribly when it mattered the most. He had a good grade going throughout the semester then absolutely bombed the finals. Yes, KOC can do more with his playcalling and the O-line can be better, but ultimately both these games were undone by the QB. I don't know how they can buy into another year of Sam after these last two games. I don't.
