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.

    • Yep. It was an obvious red flag that a lot of people ignored. The results/scores in preseason don’t matter, but individual performance very much does and individually, we looked like the least talented team in the league and it carried over.
    • Sorry, but in 2015, we didn’t look like poo to the extent of 2023. People who said it’s just preseason were completely wrong. Simple as that. 2015 was a veteran lead team. It was Cam’s 5th year and Luke’s 4th. Even our OL was 80% the same (added Oher) as the great run to finish 2014 with a playoff win. That year can be labeled as preseason doesn’t matter because I’m sure we rested vets and well, Ron/Mike weren’t putting in special plays, etc. I absolutely don’t recall a bunch of us saying that Turner was getting killed on one on ones or that Luke was completely out of position or that Norman was hurt again but probably fine. The only thing that was right about the 2023 preseason is that the minority of us who saw it, were correct that we A) should have been making Young and others play 100% of the reps as there was nothing to hide and B) the preseason means nothing was a bunch of BS trying to stay optimistic when it was obvious that we had way less good talent than the rest of the NFL.
    • You are telling me Paul Maurice is a better coach than Rod??? Yes!!!  It’s because he plays a better system and has a better goalie.   Our system sucks in playoffs and he refuses to roll with Koochie. Dallas cowboys level poo
