At what point do they just have to bench Darnold?

Lol Fields ain’t helping us win anything this year and it’s still up in the air how good he’s going to be.

He is playing better than Darnold with a shitty line also.  The difference is Fields (in theory) should be much better as the season gets better and the game slows down for him.

Lets be clear, Fields is playing as bad and Mac Jones is a 4th round pick at best.

The team clearly wanted Watson and then Stafford, and both ended up unavailable. I mean we had a trade lined up for Stafford and he turned us down.

I imagine will we give up a lot for Watson or Russell Wilson next offseason, the team is really just a franchise QB and a few lineman away from Superbowl contender. Any functioning QB would thrive with these weapons and defense.

At what point do our receivers start catching the ball? How many drops have we had? Also, when do we get rid of Joe Brady? He abandons the run any chance he gets and loves those long drawn out pass plays no matter the situation. Darnold isn't great, but he isn't terrible either. Minus that one int, he has been alright. If Robby caught some of the balls his way, this game might be trending in a different direction.

    • Not sure why everyone keeps talking about the Panthers paying him $50M/year. I don't recall anyone EVER saying he deserves that. I think something like what the Dolphins signed Malik Willis to would be good: 3 years, $67.5M but it will probably be something along the lines of Mayfield or Darnold which is around $35M/year.
    • Actually that 4400 was based on a 16 game season to match Bryce's 16 games this year. Your offense has to be to drive the ball when it matters. Bryce doesn't do that with any level of consistency. If you're building a team that isn't focused on your QB, then fine. Then there's no need to pay Bryce as a franchise QB because literally anyone else will do. If you're going to pay him 50m plus per season, you have to be able to put the team on his shoulders and know he's going to carry the load. So far, when the pressure is on to get it done, Bryce has fallen miserably short of the target. 4-6 to finish out the season and 0-2 when all we need is a win to secure a playoff spot isn't stepping up and proving yourself as a franchise QB. I'd say it's quite the opposite.  There isn't a single coach in this league that would take Bryce over Burrow and very few if any that would take Bryce over Prescott. Hurts didn't have to throw in 2025 because Philly's defense was disgusting and Saquan had a MVP season. But then again, Hurts has shown that he can when it counts, and then there's his signature. Philly runs the tush push to lethal perfection, but that's a play we can't even consider with Bryce. You used 3 QBs from teams that had no defense to show QB stats don't always matter. When we had the worst defense in the NFL, we didn't see Bryce step up and carry the offense and put up gaudy numbers in a losing season because we were playing catch up. It was pretty much the opposite.  What have we seen from Bryce consistently to consider offering him a top 10 NFL franchise QB level contract? At the end of the day, that's all that matters.   
    • I mean, what fanbase has high expectations when you have a QB like Bryce leading your team?
