The flaw in the following thinking

I think the best situation is what Rhule has already said will happen. Its an open competition. Darnold should win that. 
 

If Darnold sucks and we finish bottom 5 we are drafting another QB next year for our new head coach.
If Darnold pays mediocre then Corral is again in competition with Darnold.  

I am still bullish on Darnold. I think him having competition will actually push him to be better. He is still young and has all the tools. 
 

Who is at QB doesn't matter to me as long as they earned that spot.

I don’t think it will be an open competition. And I’m okay with that.  I don’t want them to throw Matt out there to start the year off.  

Sam is going to be defaulted into the starting job.  And I suspect Rhule will handle him very similar to last offseason/preseason.   Largely keep him out of sight and focus on him checking down.  

because If you make it a real competition it means exposing all your QBs to real completion and scenarios.  And Matt likely won’t be ready right away and Sam will look bad because he always looks bad when you asked him to be a NFL QB whose hands aren’t tied down.  And you don’t want to go into a season with Sam imploding and still have to start him

Matt will start when BOA tells Matt Rhule what to do.  

The boos were impactful last year.  I suspect they will be this year too. All will come down to how long Sam can keep the crowd off him.

    • Number 9  Carolina Panthers  Bryce Young, the first overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, produced career highs in completion percentage (63.6%), passing yards per game (188.2) and passing touchdowns (23) in 2025. However, those numbers aren't exactly stellar by NFL quarterbacking standards. Even though the Panthers backdoored their way into the postseason in 2025 as NFC South champions with an 8-9 record, Young's performance was up-and-down. He threw for the third-fewest passing yards by a quarterback to make the playoffs in the last 20 seasons, per CBS Sports Research.  FEWEST PASSING YARDS BY QB TO REACH PLAYOFFS, LAST 20 SEASONS (MIN. 16 STARTS) PASSING YARDS PLAYOFF WINS 2012 Christian Ponder (MIN) 2,935 0 2008 Joe Flacco (BAL) 2,971 2 2025 Bryce Young (CAR) 3,011 0 2006 Steve McNair (BAL) 3,050 0 2019 Josh Allen (BUF) 3,089 0 Young did deliver some high highs, like when he threw for a franchise-record 448 yards passing in a Week 11 overtime win at the Atlanta Falcons and when he went toe-to-toe with Stafford in the playoffs in a 34-31 defeat.  Kenny Pickett couldn't win the Cleveland Browns' quarterback competition a year ago, and Will Grier is a career backup. This is Young's team.

    • This is why we need the Bank of America Stadium Ballroom.
    • That thread has all the huddle legends either posting in it or mentioned in it. I remember everyone of those folks and I truly miss seeing them post here. This place was so much better with them here.
