If you’re a cornerback trying to earn a big paycheck, you want to play against turnover machine Sam Darnold. 
 

Darnold has made Diggs a big house hold name and now revive Darius Slay’s career in Philly after today. Slay has been trash since getting paid by Philly. Has 1 int since he landed in Philly and has looked like trash getting beat by receivers each week and then today came.

The middle of that line is almost certainly gone as soon as it makes financial sense to dump them. 

Sam has until the end of the season to shape up. Taking a cap hit dumping him hurts, but it has to be done immediately if he poops the bed this season. You don't want two lost seasons to try and save face and cap money. No single contract is worth a lost season.

Let's move on from the middle of our line first. 

Even if we wanted to move on from Darnold, the only alternatives next year will be to try and trade a truckload for Wilson, Rodgers, or Watson.  And I doubt the Seahawks or Green Bay would let either of those QBs stay in-conference.  

If you want to draft a QB, good luck.  But it isn't a good class.

They have reasonably claimed so far that they are treating him as a rookie this year. I would assume that means letting him take his lumps. They haven't given him a decent o-line and are forcing him to make plays regardless. CMC is huge for this offense in a number of ways, running, catching, blocking, decoy, and scheming. Getting him back his huge. Darnold has to make better throws. I'm not ready to give up on him yet.

Sam has to at least not suck next Sunday and the following Sunday for me to step off the ledge (slightly).  

Yes it was only one game but with how poorly he played, it may just as well counted for TWO games.

What makes you think the NFL would have stepped in when they haven't yet?

Yea that's the thing about this one...it's a bit weird compared to other off the field issues we've seen. Obviously Watson is better and would rather have him.

      Would you draft a pass rusher or draft one?

      By strato · Posted

      I am not sure it should be a ‘sell out to go to the SB’ season. And hope they don’t.  At the same time I was thinking you absolutely must find out if you want to pay for Bryce or not. That means putting it on him. No protecting and trying to hide weaknesses with the run game and a super conservative calls.  So I wish they would do it and find out, win or lose, 2026. No more developing. Time to do it. Let’s see once and for all.

      Your Feelings on Bryce Through 3 Seasons? (POLL)

      By Montsta · Posted

      My biggest fear with Bryce Young is that he will always do just enough to stick around. He shows flashes and then drops a turd so the hopium is always there. Like his career highlight reel if you cut it up to some hype music and did a YouTube video would actually be quite good. His great plays really, really look good. But after that video you look at his yearly averages for completion percentage, yardage, touchdowns, and virtually every other metric and it is meh as fug. Like you know Bryce is gonna be 13/23 for 157 yards a touchdown and probably a pick.  I will 100% give him his flowers for his athleticism and ability to scramble outside the pocket. I haven’t seen the mythical “super processing ability” he was touted for per se, but he has shown flashes of absolutely elite awareness when it comes to scrambling. The little basketball move he does to shake defensive linemen has almost become a signature move. It’s hard to explain but you know it when you see it he stops on a dime and pivots like he is gonna hit a step back jumper and it has gotten him out of a lot of trouble.  I sincerely, truly, as a vocal Bryce HATER, hope that since we are obviously running with him next year the coaching staff actually tailors plays around his strengths. He needs to be in a pure spread IMO. His size is much less of a hindrance when he can play QB in open space. I feel like most of his highlight reel is from scrambles and play action/bootlegs.
