You guys are posting dumbass video games? JFC

Ironically on a video game is the only place anyone will ever see your boy Sam Darnold play like a franchise QB.

Well I wanted them to sign Strong as an UDFA and have a legit 3 way competition but they weren't smart enough for that.

Have a legit competition and let the best guy play.

It's pretty simple.

That would have been a fun training camp. Corral & Strong. That's optionality. At the end of it you've either got a damn good backup or a very tradable QB.

Do people often trade for undrafted QBs with no NFL stats? Minshew has actually played well in the NFL and was drafted late and he’s only ever been traded for late round picks. What’s an undrafted Carson Strong worth if he doesn’t win the starting job in camp?

He could become a very good cheap backup.

He could be an extra good practice squad QB.

Worst case scenario He completely bombs and costs us nothing. No real cap. No picks.

It was a No Brainer to sign him but this team is run by Mongoloids.

If he ends up being your second QB, a lot. QBs are much more valuable in trade if their any good.

Atlanta got a pretty good haul from their second stringer Matt Shaub. Patriots pulled that off the Cassell.

thread was silly and still around.

its single digit at BEST, more likely less than 1%.

sorry to pop your corral hopuim bloon....

heres the deal- Darnold has never played a full season in 4 years. Corral will get a start, just needs to be ready as possible.

Not the full picture on that one. Ouch indeed tho

Knowing that and other glaring stats not in favor of Sam continuing to start in the NFL, not starting Matt Corral out of the SEC is an example of bad losing not good losing.

If your rookie QB is on the field gaining valuable experience getting in game reps with DJ, CMC and Robby it's growth.

If Sam is out there doing the same or slightly better it's part of the long decay and the same old Sam old.

Jets aren't usually the smart ones in the room historically until they found a unsavy desperate buyer.

Luck would have it that the number #1 rated college prospect of last season who played in the hardest, not the softest, conference full of future NFL prospects somehow landed on your roster.

The universe gives you a new horse and THAT'S the one you keep in the stable out in the pasture.

Nonsense.

Let's eat!

    • Not exactly sure that is an honest assesment of the talent he had to work with that year. Olsen had over 1100 yards that season making the PB, Stewart had close to 1100 total yards also going to the PB. He had Kalil at C who went to the PB, Trai Turner at RG who also went to the PB, and Michael Oher at LT who played well enough that the Panthers offered him a new contract the following year. I wouldn't call that a trash OL. He also played with a defense that was stacked with talent as well.   "The thing we are doing better this time around is actually surrounding our #1 overall draft pick QB with talent vs. asking him to completely carry the offense. I just hope that effort is leading us to realize that the guy isn't even good enough to get carried." Please.... Did you not read the list of names Newton had to work with his rookie season. I guess you missed it so I will post it again for you... Steve Smith (PB), Greg Olsen (PB), Brandon LaFell, Ted Ginn JR, Deangelo Williams (PB), Jonathan Stewart (PB), Jordan Grossn (PB), Ryan Kalil (PB) on the offensive side and then he had Luke Kuechly (PB), Jon Beason (PB), Thomas Davis (PB), Star Lotulelei, Kawann Short ( PB ),Charles Johnson, Greg Hardy (PB ), Mike Mitchell, Josh Norman (PB)  For comparison, here is who Young had his first year.  Chuba Hubbard, DJ Chark, Jonathan Mingo, Adam Thielen, Hayden Hurst, Ikem Ekwonu, Chandler Zavala, Bradley Bozeman, Nash Jensen and Taylor Morton. Not a single PB player on the list and most of them aren't even playing any longer. Additionally, his HC was fired during the season and the defense was as bad as the offense.  You might not like the comparison but saying Newton had to completely carry the offense isn't exactly fair to the 4 pro bowlers on offense who played with him that year.
    • That's why I say we have to keep looking. Even if you believe Bryce is the guy, KP and Grier are not and who knows if King is anything more than a gimmick player, we should be active in improving our 2nd QB spot. Season ending injuries happen, and you don't just want to roll over and give it up. How many starters have we seen come from the ranks of backup? Having 2 potential starting QBs is one of the best problems we could have. 
    • Eh, it’s more on how bad the refs are. Some of these calls against the canes are no calls
