Regarding Darnold...

The "competition" stuff is probably coachspeak, but it's not hard to imagine them keeping Darnold.

I imagine they'd have to get at least a reasonable offer, but I wouldn't count too heavily on that coming.

To those looking for the team to ditch Darnold, I'd say don't hold your breath.

Would be really entertaining if they got a killer offer for Mayfield (relative to his cost) now that his salary is down and Carolina ended up trading him again, putting Sam back in the driver's seat.

Won't happen of course, but would be entertaining.

Ditch Darnold and take PJ with him .. it’s time to stop keeping proven failures.

Too much dead cap...

The 5th year option was a sunk cost the moment we picked it up. Cutting him now or letting him walk later it's gone regardless.

Just now, Mr. Scot said:

If Mayfield got injured, would you really wanna start Corral?

Yes. Mayfield for all his flaws has been a successful starter at one point but Sam has been the same going back to USC. If push comes to shove you just cut your losses and be done with it.

      Dude... you're just all over the place. You're the one who said T-Mac is better right now than Chark was at his best.

      When I say "average NFL WR", for me, that's comparing him to all WRs in the league during that season/span of time.  He was of course better than those #4-6 WR's that can't even get on the field, but talent/ability wise, he probably wasn't any better than a #3 WR for most NFL teams, he just happened to be on one of the teams in 2019 with even worse WR's so he put up solid stats for the season. Here's more or less how I'm looking at it. Take T-Mac right now and Chark at his best, put them on every NFL team at this very moment, and where would they fall on the depth chart come Week 1 (basically, the teams that don't put the rookies at #1 to "make them earn it in camp" don't count, it's projecting week 1 depth charts). T-Mac would be at worst the #2 WR on the majority of teams this season, (hell, he's likely our #1 at this very moment right now already), peak Chark would not.  Yes, T-Mac still has to prove himself at this level, but his current ability, even as a rookie who hasn't played a snap yet, would have him above Chark on any team's week 1 depth chart. Because again, you can't just fall back on "well Chark had a 1,000 yard season" and use that as the reason for having him above T-Mac.  As he didn't have that 1k yards because he was a beast, it was because he was the only halfway decent receiving option on a bad team that was always losing and passing the ball (the Jags had the 7th worst scoring differential that season).

      BREAKING: Panthers interested in Justin Simmons

      We clearly need to add a veteran stopgap at safety one way or the other.
