Fitterer says " We'll have to do something with Sam. "

It is idiotic to trade Sam right now. Back ups are very valuable and try to mold him into a back up plus he’s trade value is non existent at the moment

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.

As my farmer cousins would say…it’s about that time to take OL’ Sammy D To the horse doctor. 
 

how that horse became a doctor, we’ll never know.

I really would like to hear someone in management admit they screwed up with signing Sam….

And then after that they could admit that signing Erving, Elflein and paying Anderson we’re also huge mistakes.

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.

I guess PJ will keep his juice to himself on the sidelines.

[pantherj]

Keeeping Sam long term as our backup QB wouldn't be the worst idea imo. NO team in the NFL will sign him as a starter.

[Wes21]

Cam is about to become Sam's mom's favorite player.  

[CanadianCat]

Keep Sam. We are paying him already. Honestly is cannot hurt.. 

[theguy]

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

[Chief Keek]

Rhule should not be anywhere near a QB room ever again, he doesn't have a clue how to evaluate the position.

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.
