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.

      Jack Roslovic: Only 2 other UFA, right-handed centers age 28 or under had more points (39) than him- Sam Bennett (51) and Pius Suter (46). There were 4 other centers age 33 and older who scored more: Gireaux (37), Marchand (37), Tavares (34), Granlund (33).  Unless the Canes go old, if they let Jack walk, they won't get a center who scored more.  Thoughts?

      It's important to differentiate criticism and hate. I can't speak for that individual you quoted. But most people who have been critical of the Tepper's have been so because both of them have made it a point to put themselves front and center and in the middle of team operations and we have been largely horrific more often than not as a result. If people are making derogatory remarks about her that should be met with an appropriate response but if people are being defensive just because she's being criticized all I can say is people should get used to it. Both her and David would have been getting absolutely skewered by the media and the fans if this were a big market franchise. The Lakers are finally being sold off after years and years of public criticism of Jeannie Buss and even though I'm the furthest you could go from being a Lakers fan just about anyone you could meet who is familiar with the NBA would say the criticism was certainly valid.
