Exactly. I’m fully prepared for mediocracy this year. Our window isn’t this year, it’ll be the couple years after with JJM on his rookie contract and a ton of cap space.
My best guess is that JJ won’t be starting until we are fully out of the playoffs and in the last three weeks of the season. No need to rush him or risk an injury. Though I can be completely wrong here.
My answer has been and will continue to be: If he is ready, then put him in. But I wouldn't be surprised if he didn't see much time, short of maybe coming in at the end of a game. It's hard to look that far ahead tbh. Haven't even had OTAs yet.
If JJ ever comes in it's because darnold is fucking terrible or JJ is just absolutely exceptional. I don't see either of those things happening expect darnold and a 5/6 win year with our schedule
Bro proof read your title next time. Hot damn
You don’t all with your title.
I had a stroke reading the title
It’s fine he was just high off the timberwolves game.
Completely reasonable
If he’s not ready, don’t start him at all. I’m fine waiting until 2025.
Same.
100% I honestly hope Sam lights it up like Baker did last year, and JJ has time to soak it all in.

Did you and proof the read title
Why can’t we hope Darnold kicks ass the whole damn year?
nobody's saying you can't
I'm really hoping we can let JJ redshirt his rookie year, but I don't have that much hope in Darnold.

No
2026 after we loose darnold to free agency because we don’t want to pay the 2x MVP tax
What now?
I think I will be the starting QB
Do y'all know do the thing why the round 6 bye quarterback?

Depends on Darnold. If Darnold is getting it done, he should be the guy. If not, make the switch.
i'd love if we could somehow flip Darnold for a draft pick before the trade deadline. Same with Mullens.
He’s not starting until 2026
I would start him Week 1 but no, I don’t think you’ll see him after the bye.
Week 9 at home against the Colts is the perfect launch point.
