Yeah, agree to disagree. I don't think I want any of the options in this draft at QB. Not to mention....who the fug are they gonna learn from? Not that guy. 

As strange as it may sound, I'd probably rather go bring in someone like Fitzpatrick/Dalton/Taylor/etc. Just some starting quality veteran who can give us a little breather while we find the eventual guy. 

Dalton? Sure. He's damn near Pickles bad these days. That's top 5 pick bound for sure.

Narp to all but Tyrod Taylor. I hope they do let him go so we can pick him up and see how it goes until we can bring in our QB of the future.

He's better than what we have. I realize that isn't saying much.

He's only on a one year deal with them. I would love to get him in Carolina to add some stability while we find the next guy.

I literally cannot wrap my head around picking up the 5th year. It was a bad idea then and it's looks even worse in hindsight. 

Yep. So dumb. If Darnold played well, you re-sign him. Tag him at worst. All we did was tie ourselves to a lot more guaranteed money for a guy that had shown very little to deserve it. If we didn't pick up that option, we could move on from him after this season with zero future cap damage. Yeah, we'd be out the three draft picks, but that was the case either way.

Whats worse, giving cmac a huge deal unnecessarily, extending robbie or giving darnold his 5th year?

I'd say 1. Darnold, 2. CMC, 3. Robby. At least the Robby deal was relatively short and reasonably priced. CMC is a stud but my feelings on top money for a RB are well known. Darnold though....JFC.

Like Rhule said....they are clearly "all in" on Sam. I'd love to hear the comments behind the scenes. I bet not a lot positive is being said in private.

You know, the more and more I think about this.....we should really go hard at Tyrod this offseason. His deal is up in Houston, he was only getting $5.5 mil. Why not pay him $6-8 mil/year on a two year deal and have some stability for a couple of seasons while we build that OL up?

I actually really, really like that idea. He's cheaper and better than Teddy or Darnold. Nothing spectacular about him, just a steady journeyman QB that takes care of the ball.

It’s the same 5 folks saying the same thing in every thread.

Come on folks, take a break he will be here for this year and more than likely next year too.

I am willing to let the session play out, hope that they improve the Oline in the offseason and see what progress Sam makes from now until the end of next year. 
I have trouble making declarations and speaking of absolutes when he is only 6 games in and the team has won half of them with 11 games still to go.

It is Sam’s 4th year as a starting NFL QB.    Think it is safe to speak on him not being a very good at playing QB at this point.  Who has clear cut issues that have nothing to do with the Jets.  They exist here and were the same concerns coming out of USC.

Yeah, I’d like to hear what Tepper has to say.  If reports are to be believed….he is the Watson and Fields guy.  

and you hired people that wanted to fix Sam Darnold and have done nothing for our OL.

Oh I bet the Tepper comments are brutal. When I saw him watching the game in his box alone, that spoke volumes. I think our coaching staff is in for a blistering if this losing streak continues. 

Anyone who thinks Darnold is going to be anything different that his past 44 games started....I just don't know what to say to you. The problems are the same and so incredibly obvious. 

I am fine talking about QB next year because he will clearly be up to get replaced, whether he stays on the roster or not remains to be seen.

      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

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      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.
