The Great QB Experiment

We are going to trade our pick in 2023 for some midlevel qb.

They already have one starting. They better figure out how to protect him.

Do you really wish the Panthers had outdone Indy's offer for Wentz?

Sam Darnold is definitely not a mid level qb.

Look, I'm not fan of Sam Darnold either.  He sucks.

But of course the HC and GM are going to express support for him.  Why?  Because it quite frankly makes the most sense to stick with him in 2022.  We made a dumb error of committing $18m to him.  None of the QBs are worth drafting where we're picking.  So the only way you move on is if you are able to swing a trade for one of the top QBs.  But there is no guarantee that is going to happen.  So why throw your QB under the bus before you have to?

That is what we did with Teddy last year, and it is probably the biggest reason we had to trade him.  Otherwise you keep Teddy and never make the horrendous Darnold trade.  Right now we need stop doubling down on mistakes.  You stick with Darnold unless you can secure Watson or one of the other young elites.  And even if you get Watson you're gonna probably need Darnold for 6-10 games next year.

Hold up, we don’t have a 3rd round pick for this draft?

Rhule has made PJ a very wealthy person based on just knowing him in college

Good for PJ

Josh Rosen.

I'm sure we can fix him.

I don't see how Rhule keeps his job if he sticks with Darnold next year. I don't know if Fitterer is tied to Rhule or not.
