I don’t post much here, more of a lurker, but saw this and wanted to share. Interesting article from a Jets site on Darnold’s possible future discussing a trade to the Saints while we would pay 60% of his salary. I have 0% faith that this would happen, but if Darnold actually went to the Saints I would throw a huge party.

He would go there. Get great coaching then become a potential HOFr and make us miserable for the next 12 years.

Doubtful.  Jameis Winston has shown way more in his NFL career, and Payton couldn't save him.  He's a football coach, not a miracle worker.

Darnold can't read the field.  He would need to spend 2-3 seasons in study hall as a backup before he had a chance to succeed IMO.  And you don't trade for an expiring contract to pick that kind of player up.  They might scoop him up for nothing after we dump him though.

Regardless of what the Panthers do with Darnold, this team clearly needs to bring in several QB’s and let them complete. To me not having any QB competition for Darnold was as big of an error as trading for him. There were several affordable options this past offseason….

When a team doesn’t have a proven starting QB they need competition.

Saints don't have cap room for a "salary dump" type player.

Not exactly true Winston was playing well until the injury, but he’s not fixing darnold I agree there

That's fair.  He statistically had his best year with the Saints, but it's kind of a marginal improvement.  I don't think they look at him as their future at QB.  Let's just put it that way.

True, I think they are infatuated with Taysom.  Winston I think deserves more of a shot than Sam going forward since he’s shown a lot more

      OTA's

      By UnluckyforSome · Posted

      I think he's gone, and rightfully so, if he turns in another losing record. The "talented roster," regardless of how true or not, is a double-edged sword. If the roster is so much improved now from 202X then why are you still producing losing seasons? On one hand, maybe that's what needs to happen. Have the GM hire the new coach, and then have the new coach pick his guy to run his system. That is typically how it works in the NFL. Not the forced inheritance deal we have had in place.

      The running back situation....

      Hinging on Brooks to be our spark...be good if it happens... but not holding my breath....RB next draft. Morgan gambled...it would be a 2 year payoff if thing happened.

      Only way Canales is fired is if we are attrocious everywhere....  defense /special teams and offense..  There are enough "questions" on if BY9 is the guy that ownership wouldn't fire the coach for "just" mid qb play.  Especially with as talented a roster that has played "well enough" to win some tough football games and hang in there against the top tier of the NFL ...(mostly).   Now total team suckage..yeah .. but I don't see that happening.
