What about Jamis Winston?

No thanks he'll just be more of the same trash we've had the last 2 years 

During an offseason like this one, there just isn’t an outstanding QB.  I was never sold on Darnold. But, I thought he would be a crapshoot.  

Jamis was awful with TB but, showed good potential with a new team.    I Noticed that team coaches are more important than I realized.  I still don’t know why Cam Newton fell off, as bad as he has. 
 

tom Brady started as a 6th round draft pick.  If Tom was just out of college and in the draft today,  how many teams would be willing to take a chance on him?

I love Jameis, he's the funniest dude in the league. Definitely can slang that thang but you gotta get ready for some lolz on and off the field.

Would be crazy to seem him stay in the NFC South with 3 different teams his whole career.

Not gonna happen though haha.

A year ago I would have been in favor of spinning the Winston wheel, even if we intended to draft somebody.  He was cheap and, if nothing else, would have been a reasonable #2 on the depth chart.  We didn't have a legitimate #2 on the depth chart, and the #1 we had was being run out of town.

If we didn't have Darnold for the upcoming year, I might still be in favor of it assuming he is still relatively cheap.

Sure, he was an interception machine in 2019 in Tampa, but Arians' offense can have that effect on QBs.  Let's see, we have a QB who throws interceptions so let's put him in an offense that involves more risky throws.....what did we think was going to happen?

He threw a lot of everything that year (TDs, yards, and ints). 

But alas, we have Darnold to the tune of $18.5M this year.  Adding somebody else in a similar situation, albeit more accomplished, is really throwing the dung against the wall at this point.

Brady is a long-shot story.  If Bledsoe had not gotten hurt, it is possible Brady would have been a footnote on pro-football-reference's website.

Jameis is a good QB, and should be a starter in this league, but I’d pass. Now, I would’ve loved to have him last year instead of Darnold, and even said as much. I remember I received push back, but that’s neither here nor there lol. 
 

Id pass on him this year. The best route to go is draft or Watson. No more reclamation projects.

I mean Jameis is a MUCH better QB than Darnold, but if we're just going to be shuffling around mid QBs might as well just stick with Sam one more year and get a top draft pick next season when a lot of possible future franchise guys will be available.

You don't need a comma after "but" -- just saying. 

Also, he's just a Darnold Variant.

Darnold never came close to throwing for 5000 yards and 30 + TDs in a season.  Now, that came with 30 picks too, but still Jameis is much much much more prolific a passer than Sam ever thought about being.

    • How did this “innovative” narrative start with Canales? Just because he’s young? He truly wants to run the ball and nothing Tampa did last year was all that creative. Mike Evans ability to win 1 on 1 does wonders for an offense as a whole 
    • Initially, I wanted Stroud but I thought the trade up meant that, whoever they chose, it was for a reason.  There was no pressure to do anything for the entire scouting team to do other than investigate every aspect of the top 3 candidates.  Stroud had his question marks, and I think it is possible that he falters this year.  Bryce had a much worse situation here in Carolina because we neglected the OL, traded our #1 WR, did not pick WRs well in the draft, traded our pro bowl RB, and seem to disregard the TE position altogether.  Bozeman was not a good fit and we relied on an improved OL in 2022 to suggest that we were set there when we were far from it.  Fitterer had no vision, no grasp of talent, and everyone in the front office and on the coaching staff were pretending to be gurus.  Our coaching staff was a group of men earning a lifetime achievement paycheck.  It all goes back to the years of neglect for the OL.  My theory?  If Stroud had come to Carolina, he would be as mocked and ridiculed as Bryce Young.   No, he does not have a cannon.  Chad Pennington was a weak-armed QB who had success and would have been even better if it were not for injuries.  Smarts is important at QB, and so are mechanics.  Before you can address Young's mechanics, he needs an OL, Running game, and weapons. We were not really able to run play action from under center for a few reasons--play action is not effective when you have to pass the ball--other than that, the QB must turn his back to the LOS for about 1.5 seconds.  When the QB has less than 2.5 seconds to pass the ball, that eliminates that part of the play book.  Heck, even the run option is minimized when there is immediate facial pressure.  SO those who want to talk about happy feet, bouncing, etc--they are symptoms of the problem, not the problem.  A weak arm?  Well, Young's arm is between Chad Pennington and Joe Montana--closer to Joe.  His are is not as weak as some think--but he has issues with the deep ball. When you are reacting to the defense and quickly have to pass, then that takes away the strength because you don't have the base to get power behind it.  I still wish we had taken Stroud, but we have Young and if you toss him out before giving him support, you are not wise, unsmart, not unfoolish, and rather elite in your failure to attain mediocrity.  Expect growth.  How much? Nobody knows.
