He wants to play….he’s just smart and wants to get paid. He’s gaming the system understanding that if he forces a trade he gets paid. It’s smart. 

We will see if he gets paid. I would be against signing him even as a FA. Trading multiple 1st round picks is a no go for me. But given our current situation I would hope for the best if thats the direction they decide to go.

Much better supporting cast and he's as old as most second year NFL players. He's a literal man playing against boys.

Swap Pickett and Howell and UNC probably wins 3 games and Pickett is a priority UDFA. Real talk.

Hmmmm….that’s easy to say considering we can never test or prove it.

To get someone to take on Darnold and his contract you'd have to figure the "young player" would need to have pretty significant value 

Why would we contort ourselves to offload a good young player just to get rid of a 1 year, self inflicted contract? It makes no sense unless said young player has not developed as expected and nearing a contract extention so the front office can use the "our hands were tied!"

Goodbye nameless longsnapper!

That would be a huge mistake.  If he was going to be franchise defining qb the Cardinals would not trade him for anything.  He's not Mahomes lite, he's a Mahomes wannabe. 

He had the second highest completion % in the league last year. He was 7th in QBR. He was 8th in rating. He accounted for 30Tds. If he does that here and doesn’t turn the ball over we’re in the playoffs and may win the division with our Defense

Last year:

1) We had a terrible O-line

2) Our best offensive weapon missed most of the season.

3) Our OC had a predictable scheme that was ridiculed around the league

4) We could not make adjustments that allowed us to score in the 2nd half (especially quarter 3)

5) We received virtually no production at the TE position.

Saying Sam didn't play well is an understatement, but all of the above things are weren't all his fault. Cam and PJ didn't look any better when they were taking snaps. All three had to run for their lives because of our poor pass blocking.

I'll get flamed for this, but if we draft a LT instead of a QB I wouldn't be totally opposed to seeing what Darnold can do in a McAdoo offensive scheme and behind a James Kampen coached O-line. If he sucks (highly likely), then he'll be off the team and allowed to hit the market in 2023. But, what if the light comes on and leads to a ressurection of his almost dead career? I don't think any QB could be fairly judged playing behind the woeful Panther 2022 offensive line.

What’s the point if you’re not even getting anything in return.  Just to get his contract off the books?  
 

What’s the BIG plan with alll this money you’ll be opening up.  After all the big FA’s are off the market?
This smells a stench of the 2010-2018 Browns trading away picks just for someone to take away that bad QB from Denver they paid big $$ for.

 

so why not just keep him.  Bite the bullet and pay him to sit for this 1 year.  And keep your young guys.

 

don’t be that dysfunctional franchise like the Browns

But we can. How did he play when he wasn't the oldest guy on the field and wasn't surrounded by an above average veteran team?

Oh wee mayne.

Without an extra year of eligibility, Pickett is entering the draft as a senior coming off a 2400 yard 13 TD 9 INT season. He's going undrafted in last year's draft. Reality.

And all of that didn't matter when he got rattled in the playoffs and folded like a lawn chair.  Handling pressure is important.

We’re getting Sam off the team and 19 mil in salary cap room. That’s good enough.

He’s young. He literally had a better year than Burrow statistically. Put him behind a solid line with CMC as a security blanket and the rest of the team….he’ll roll.

      Xavier Legette is the face of the NFL at the Kentucky Derby

      You joke, but hasn't basically the whole team been in Charlotte this past week together? I'm not one to see the random dumb stuff players put out on social media in the offseason and think it means that's ALL they've been doing and not working on their game.  But it's a little strange that all this is coming out at the same time we're seeing tons of stuff with the team in Charlotte together, even if it's just working out and not even official team OTA's or anything. So he gets a pass from me saying anything now, but if he doesn't show clear improvement this season, it then opens him up to some retroactive criticism for some things.

      Ha-ha, I bet that went through everyone's mind.  Admittedly I don't read all the comments in a thread before I make a post. Great minds think alike!

      An honest look at Bryce Young

      By OneBadCat · Posted

      Cam was hitting his stride as a QB in 2017/2018.     This is why I think stats like completion percentage are overrated. As long as a QB is clutch and makes the throws to win the game the rest doesn’t really matter. What good is a check down stat padder if they’re a choker.  Until Norv Turner (and briefly Chud) got here we put Cam in high pressure throwing situations all the time. We also ran the ball on first down more than most teams in the NFL in the Ron era. Coupled with shitty WRs, all that is expressed in his stats. I also assume Cam took the ball in his hands on many occasions rather than trust Funchess to catch the ball.    It was also never Cams job to play the game like someone else. His presence on the field dictated the game in a way that is rarely seen.  He showed he could play the dink and dunk game just before TJ Watt. That didn’t suddenly make him better than his earlier seasons. He just got put in a legit under center  passing game again for first time since his rookie year with Chud.    Ron took the quickest path to success and abused the RPO because his ass was about to get fired.    Cam never got the credit for being the cerebral player that he was. I just think when you are legitimately a human Superman, sometimes the best play is having the ball in your hands. He was a better passer than Delhomme was.
