Difference here is Sam is Sam no illness no injury. He is Sam. College, jets, panthers the same. Cam was proven and deserved his second chance. He was coming back from an injury and they didn't  even let him try not even in a preseason game. Sam hasn't earned any chances and has had 3 Cam earned. Oranges to apples. Ditch Sam if possible if not then he is on your team but let him be a last resort.

Again why make any judgements until after the year. If Cam is great in this lineup then it is Darnold but if Cam has the same issue it might be the line and playcalling. So you let Cam play 4 games and then see who gives you the best chance to win the rest of the way. Besides Darnold could be a great backup who can win a game if necessary. Maybe sitting and watching will do him good.

But there's a difference between moving on from Can compared to Darnold and I don't think I need to get into those reasons

Right and no one was comparing them as quarterbacks. What I was pointing out was that it is convenient to find the scapegoat to get rid of without addressing the real problem when they dumped Cam and didnt address the O line once again. Novel idea why not fix the line and then decide if the qbs you have are suddenly better. That would go for Cam, Darnold, PJ, Barkley, et al.

But if Cam is the starter then Darnold is a much better backup than anyone else when he comes back. Why would you do anything this year? Plenty of time to evaluate after the season is over.

Yeah we shouldn’t out right cut him. He stays unless some team is stupid enough to trade for him and take on some of that contract which I don’t see happening…. If Cam plays serviceable and we sign him for another year and draft a rookie, do we still let Darnold keep a roster spot? That’s when it can get a little iffy, but we would probably roll with all 3.

you heard it folks. 55 has spoken.

Spoken what? That it is too early to be talking releasing someone at this point in the season. Lets see how Cam does and then after Darnold comes off IR we can decide what to do. Remember when we released Cam too early without giving him enough of a chance. Lets keep the pitchforks in the hay until after the season.

My personal theory is that the only way Cam is not our starter next season is if he's backing up Deshaun.

I think the ultimate goal is getting Watson. Since he's got a lot of issues right now and has so far spurned the idea of coming here maybe this move helps change that. If Watson comes out of his situation without looking like more of a pervert that is.

    • The defense is 28 out of 32 in salary cap allocation for 2025. We have a ton of resources tied up in the offense including the highest paid OL in the league multiple 1st round WR's and multiple recent draft picks across the offense at TE and RB and we have two 1000 yard backs. Bryce and company couldn't get past Tyler Shough and his crew in 2 games. That's all there is to it. You can spin it and put the entire onus on the defense to your heart's desire it doesn't change the fact that this is an OFFENSIVE team now. If you want to argue that we should revert back to a defensive identity as we have been in the past which has brought us success then I will agree with you on that. But as it stands the onus is on the offense because that is where we have invested through the nose. Dave Canales and Bryce Young need to do a hell of a lot better than they have against the rebuilding Saints who without us should only have 2 wins this season.
    • Bryce is not trending up. He is the same QB he has always been. Bottom of the league in most categories.  If Canales thinks he can build a contender with Bryce then he is a bigger idiot then I thought.  Offense next year will have the same issues and be just as inconsistent as it was this year.  We have seen Bryce’a ceiling and it is 175 yards a game and that is not a QB you keep around as your starter. That is barely a backup.   
    • Looks like Darnold should have had at least 3 picks. That'll get ugly in the playoffs eventually. Can't deny his physical talent though. You either have that or you don't. Mike Macdonald is a legit coach.
