Honestly, no.

You don’t expect your backup to be able to carry you, otherwise he’d be the starter, but you do expect him to come in when called upon, not turn the ball over, and try to keep the ship afloat a few games. Darnold throws way too many turnovers for that. He’s either a starter or 3rd string project, and that project label is me being nice since this is year 4 for him. He’s proven to not be a starter in this league, so if I had to keep him, it would be as a 3rd/Practice Squad guy.

Yeah, he is so bad that 3rd string is likely where he slots right now. 

IMO, he will go to one more team as a backup and then be out of the NFL.

      Mnf uniform combo White uni. Black helmet & socks

      I think those silver helmets look great. The logo is fairly primitive looking but I understand why it is used.  The dayglo type blue top/bottom, I think looks like a cartoon. IOW not good. White on white is a classic look, no issue. Black on black I can take but prefer black pants with a blue top. Or white pants with the blue top.  That is about as much fashion content as I am comfortable posting. Maybe go to E or Bravo for this stuff.

      Remember when the NFC South was the toughest division (circa 2002-2006 when every NFC Championship game featured one of the four of us?)

      How many Qbs can you name better than Bryce Young?

      By strato · Posted

      You are a fair point argument guy, but I disagree that Bryce got us out of that Miami hole. You know who Rico Dowdle is, right?  Just a small quibble.    IMO when I look at him and see his output in a typical game I imagine what he did that a replacement level guy wouldn’t or couldn’t have done.  And I have trouble seeing much difference.  So assuming they can’t replace him with someone’s backup, not everybody’s but there are guys sitting, assuming they can’t replace him for probably less money would potentially be an erroneous assumption.    But based more on his relationship with the team and the guys making the decisions, the question of will they? I tend to see them sticking with him.  I never wanted him at all. But after all the misery of the Bryce era so far, I don’t have a problem with waiting until the season is complete to decide. Bring it on, I can take it.  So I am not ranting that he needs to go, although I have certainly done that and can’t say he has changed my mind to this point.  He still could.  We’ll see.
