Good points all, I guess I should be clear that it's not that I think
Darnold is a terrible QB, far from it. I just didn't/don't think he'd be
the right move for the Steelers when Rudolph is already on the Roster and
knows the system.
And Darnold in Carolina, yes, that's great for him and great for the
Panthers. Not a fan of their coach, but leaving the door open to
reevaluate.

I disagree, I think there’s a lot to like here with Darnold.
Carolina are building something here and they now have a 23 year old QB at
a bargain price. He’s out of the situation where Gase drove him into the
ground with no supporting cast, the number of Pro Bowlers he played on
offense with in New York is ZERO, he’s out of that spotlight now too.
Look at what happened to Tannehill when he got out from underneath Gase
(the QB who led the league in yards per attempt this past season was not
Mahomes, kids, it was Tannehill), look at what happened to the likes of
Robby Anderson and others who have thrived away from Gase and the Jets.
Put Darnold alongside McCaffrey, he gets a fresh start, they still have
the 8th pick and might get Pitts or a top flight receiver or the best
tackle in this draft, they are building a culture there that will win, very
soon. I love the move for the Panthers, I love the move for Darnold.
The Jets are in that position now that so many are in and so many have
failed in, Miami is in the same spot too, you have made these moves and
stockpiled all these picks, the challenge is, you have to now do something
with them and build a winning team. It’s one thing to manoeuvre up and down
the draft board, but at some point, you have to pick guys who will help you
- that’s the challenge and it isn’t as easy as it looks.

No, thanks. I don't think he's any better and perhaps not as good as
Mason.

True but have to pick up his 5th year option in May without playing him.
That said I was hoping the Steelers piled the trigger somehow.

other trades that have been made for QB’s this spring.
Traded to Carolina for a 6 this year and a 2 and a 4 next year
Great trade for the Panthers. He’s an absolute bargain compared to the
