Honestly, I think if we can get a stud lt in the draft, I'd be OK with this.  It would be awesome to see cam at his best again surrounded with a solid line and weapons.

I still feel like cam could dominate again if everything went right.

We need a viable backup in about any route we can take now.

Cam in a Taysom Hill roll, coming in on short yardage and redzone opportunities is still deadly.  Expecting Cam to start and play an every down roll is just asinine at this point.  As long as he understands his roll as the backup and short yardage back on the offense, and the money works there is no downside to this whatsoever.  Cam would be an excellent mentor to any young QB, and he just elevates the team and the teams chemistry.  If they expect him to start all year and act as a bridge QB kiss this season goodbye because he's not that guy anymore.

If they draft Willis Cam will be signed I bet. Willis gets a true redshirt year to develop and Darnold/Cam is 1st/2nd string. You sign a vet LT and compete with your franchise QB starting next year. That is what I would do anyway…..as make believe GM.

    • So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?
    • Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.
    • Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
