    We will go nowhere unless we build a wall for Darnold to operate. Deal all underachieving folks away. clear the cap room and go after every decent OL guy in draft and free agency.

    Enough is enough. The kid will die behind this pathetic line.

    Draft offensive line, then draft offensive line again, repeat every round.

    Wrong.

    Priority #1: Convince Johnson(s) to FIRE Adam Gase; he's beyond horrific.

    Exactly. Kid is showing promise. We can't truly evaluate him if we don't give him decent protection. Yeah the offensive play calling sucks as well but everything starts with an OL.

    An above average OL carried freaking Sanchez to AFC Champ game. Darnold deserves the same. We have to give Darnold all the help we can. Anybody who judges Darnold behind this line should just wait until he has a line to protect him. Darnold will be great. I have hope.

    22 y.o. And trying to overcome way too much around him. Sams not the problem. No qb in the league would be able to do anymore at the same point of their career as what’s happening now.

    Whatever. Next will be changing the coordinator, another coach. What was his turnover excuses at USC?

    The line sucks balls for sure. But some of his footwork is simply horrific. That's on him.

    Can't step up for the throw if the pocket isn't clean.

    This is mainly on the offensive line.

    A lot of his INTs aren’t even on the OL. The 3 today for an example are just terrible decisions and throws. Even with a good OLine, theses terrible decisions won’t change. Darnold is a problem and needs to make better decisions

    Why Douglas? He came in after everything was in place, he is the only one I would keep!

    Give Douglas a draft before you can him.

    Matthew Stafford has a similar playing style, and Jim Bob Cooter made him look pretty good. Fire Gase and his pet chihuahua and give Cooter a shot to run the offense.

    First priority for Douglas is to get Gase the heck out of here.

    Then he can turn the attention to the plethora of holes this roster has on it. Yeah, the O-line is bad, but we're bad everywhere. It's going to take more than one good drafts before the level of this operation is raised even to the level of being simply sub-par.

    Priority 1 for Douglas should be learn how to send a fucking MRI to the team doctors properly and not force a player with a torn up shoulder to play against his will.
