What's the point? Literally makes zero sense.  Cam should just wait until a QB is injured to sign somewhere.  I doubt he's signing anywhere with zero chance to be a QB1.  At least with an injury to a QB on a thin QB roster he'll have a chance of starting.  I can't see him willingly holding a clipboard all year.

Cam has already said that he'd be willing to take a backup role. He just wants to sign with a contender.  The time for him as QB1 looks to have passed. That's unfortunate, but real.

All that we can fantasize about now is him subbing for an injured teammate and having a Nick Foles-like journey to the Superbowl and victory.

Problem for Cam is all the teams he would fit on have young QBs where the coach might be worried about how a #1 would deal with it all.   Because even as a legit backup Cam is going to default into some form of leadership role. 

Like he make sense as goal line threat for someone like the Chargers.  Would take some  strain of Ekler who is injury prone.   But Herbert is still growing in that leadership role.  All the Brees, Eli’s, Rivers, etc that could of dealt with it are gone.  

Rams?  They have a QB and coach that could deal with it.  And the run game weakness.  That’s about the only team I could see Cam fitting on that meets his criteria.

The only acceptable trade for Mayfield would be a straight up swap for Darnold.  Would not give up any picks whatsoever. 

Their salaries are comparable (both too big and fully guaranteed). If Cleveland doesn't want to pay Mayfield's, they definitely won't want to pay Darnold. With what they're gonna pay Watson they are trying to offload as much of Mayfield's contract as possible. Trading straight up for Darnold wouldn't help them much-It'd be a pretty good move for us though. I'd rather pay 18+ million to Mayfield than Darnold.

Lol. I mean if they want to tank for a top 10 draft pick, sure.

Brissett can manage a game and get that team to mediocre to below average. Sam will have them nosediving for the bottom.

Them tanking only helps Houston at this point.

Sam would start over Brissett.

win%, comp%, TDs to INTs, QB rating, QBR.  Jacoby beats Sam on basically every metric.  Plenty of them are close but the huge disparity on TDs to INTs I think would comfortably put Jacoby ahead (pending you hadn't overpaid Sam and weren't letting the contract/investment dictate position). 

I'd personally put Jacoby in the Teddy tier.  So I'm not saying Jacoby is good but I'd start him or Teddy over Sam any day.  I think they are safe backup style QBs.  They aren't winning you games but they can have you in position for someone else to do it.

      Mike Kaye predicting we trade up in 2nd round

      By ProcessBlue2 · Posted

      We need a Sam Off Ball Backer to pair with Lloyd. Lloyd is a strong Interior Will especially in Pass Coverage- but that is also Trevin Wallace’s archetype. Need a Rozeboom style run stopper. Rodriguez and Allen fit that

      Day 2 Targets/Faves

      By woahfraze · Posted

      There aren’t that many ways to screw Day 2 up.  That’d be them making an obvious reach, or selecting at one of the few positions that we are pretty solid at. Because as excited as we are for the growth and improvement this team is showing, it’s still not an overly talented or deep roster. Honestly, there aren’t really many positions I’d feel bad about. Feelings about Bryce aside (because we are not going to select a QB), it’s really RB (bad positional value) and that’s it. I guess OT too since we grabbed Freeling in Round 1.    While not as high on my wish list as other spots, you can justify WR or TE.     Interior offensive lineman who would likely take over an interior spot either this year (at center) or guard (next for cap casualty of Hunt or Lewis)? Fine by me.   Dlineman? Yes, that’s a highly rotational position and we have zero quality depth.    ILB? Yep, could stand for an upgrade over Wallace.    EDGE? Absolutely wouldn’t hate another option to spell Phillips, Scourton, and Princely.    FS?  Would love to add better coverage skill set to the backend of the defense. Moehrig and Ransom are great in run support but not as good deep. Adding a more traditional FS would allow us to mix and match/run some 3 safety sub packages and or a big nickel type look with a SS down near the line for better run support in possible pass downs.    CB? Could stand to get better at nickel.

      Sounds like Veesaar is entering the draft. He could always test the waters and pull out and return but without him our big men look like a serious liability. Better do something in the portal. If they don't do something about this portal madness my days as a college sports fan are probably numbered. This bullshit of having a nearly entirely new team every season is gonna get old fast.
