Starting caliber? I certainly wouldn't go that far.  Has PJ cemented himself as a career back up for teams with awful QB depth? Most likely.

Yes, on a good team PJ would be 3rd stringer and Darnold a back up.

Are you upset he beat out Grier again this off-season....???

Last year Darnold was a jet so excuse me for rooting for the guy who's got a year under his belt with us, and oh look at there, he actually won us a game last year too....

And even if you don't want to credit him, the team as a whole, always plays with a bit of fire when he's in. So clearly there's guys in that locker room who believe.

Is it the play calling... we'll see...Grier gets his shot this weekend, or maybe Darnold will give it a go for a series or two, until then...

At least we have film of what our offense can look like if ran correctly, by a let's say starting caliber QB

You can say “starting caliber QB” all you want but that doesn’t make it true. I like PJ, but he’s a backup. I just don’t see his career ever being beyond that unless it’s for a team in crisis. That may be us this season at some point. But in that event, he’s still not the future.

      Report: Panthers great Luke Kuechly being eyed for big TV job

      So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
