I think Kyle signed those guys with the mindset of "I'm going to give Lance a chance this off season but if he doesn't impress, I'm moving on". I don't think he made up his mind early, I think he really have Lance a chance but he's just not capable at this point in time.
I agree.
Kyle is getting a lot of heat in his thread that he doesn't deserve. He was making moves to protect the franchise IN CASE Lance did not work out. Kyle was making moves to protect this talented roster's chance to contend for a Lombardi. He deserves credit for not being locked into a situation that has proven it wasn't going to get better quickly enough for the needs of the team.
100% I loved the Darnold signing, cuz I saw a lot that left me concerned last season about Trey. I did not like his game, at all. I was kinda thinking maybe BP misses the year, at that time, you never know with major stuff to your throw arm. So Darnold gave us an option, if TL didn't show something. I think that's what Kyle was doing. I really like this room now. Sam has been a QB1, Allen a QB2, and BP looks to be a QB of the future. It's exciting. I think everyone wished / hoped TL would be Allen/Mahomes but, not meant to be.
