Sam Darnold likely starting again for last few games

Have you not seen Sam Darnold play? Your post indicates you have not.

He is not capable of playing QB in the NFL. At all. 

This isn't new information. This is now 3+ years old information.

I unfortunately sat in section 124 all season watching Sam Darnold

what QB in this system under this coach with this OLine has looked capable of playing QB for a sustained period of time?

None of us want Sam for the long term. We all know we need someone else to lead us the rest of the decade if we intend to be successful.

We're saying that if we're paying 18 mil he might as well play until we (hopefully) find a replacement after 2022.

I don't think a top FA will want to come here next season. We don't have a promising QB on the roster, and this is a down year in terms of top college QB prospects. It is suppose to be a good year for lineman. Use our picks there and roll with Darnold in 2022. The QB job will much more desirable in Carolina if a new QB had a good blocking line protecting him.

 

Why is this so hard to understand lol

If we with Darnold in 2022, we will be in contention for the #1 overall draft pick, so I guess that is desirable, ultimately. I guess the question is, once Rhule is fired, will the damage be so bad that we will have to rebuild all over again? Will be stuck in Browns/Bengals territory for a decade or more? 

That sounds reactionary but we are technically less accomplished franchises than either of them and are teetering on the ledge. It won't take much of a push to send us there.

Oh Sam has a worse chance to win that Cam, that's not even a real debate anymore. 

But the odds of winning with a non-P5 caliber coaching staff are definitely low regardless.

Not sure I agree that Sam is worse than Cam who is really struggling. The desire is there but the passing isn't. If Sam plays like he did the last several games he shouldn't be anything but a backup and only because we had to keep him as he gets paid regardless. Otherwise he needs to go too. But we have nothing to lose playing Darnold and if he sucks our draft position is great.

I'd say Cam has done very well coming off the couch to learn a crap system. Rhule is struggling.

How do you get thats not a debate?  Sam started the season 3-0 and put up big numbers in week 4.  Cam is 0-12 in his last 12 starts.  It's time for some fans to acknowledge that NEITHER of these qbs are going to carry a team to victory at the present time.

Of course it isn't a debate because I have functional eyes and a functional brain. Sam Darnold has been the worst QB in the NFL for almost 4 seasons now. That's statistically accurate. 

Cam is a shell of himself but almost any QB or backup QB in the NFL is better than Sam Darnold. 

Feel free to think otherwise but I assume you also thought Jimmy Clausen just didn't get the right opportunities.

    • Another thread where the Huddle melts down over a Bryce comment.  "Conversations" and "Bryce Young has been signed to a new long-term contract" are still far away from being the gospel.  For a fanbase that has watched two top-3 drafted QBs come here, and us move on, only to see them elevate their play elsewhere, I find it comical. Bryce is flawed but this org is damned if you do and damned if you don't with BY9.  Why would our GM and HC say anything other than supportive about their QB1. Yes, he's extended, but I truly do not think if he goes out and has a repeat of the previous seasons, that he is here beyond 2027. They're giving him every opportunity and surrounding him with a ridiculous amount of assets on both sides of the ball. If he continues to pitch 110 yd/ game and cough up the ball while everyone else is busting their ass, no way Dan keeps him beyond the extension.   
    • Ooof, I was not a Proctor fan. I agree w/ a lot of smarter folks than me that he's more of a guard and think his weight fluctuation is going to be something to navigate. I liked Lomu a lot, but figured there would be more talented guys there at 19. I also wasn't big on bringing in a TE via the draft. If it's not a vet (Njoku) or a trade for Mayer or Kmet, I'd just as soon see what the youngsters have. No need cluttering the room with more of the same.
    • Sam Darnold & Bryce Young are two very different Qbs ..just saying the last 25 years approximately 2/3 of ALL  first round Qb's  in the NFL were or are bust.so for everyone who makes it like a Sam Darnold you have two that don't make it or are a bust
