In my opinion he has to be cut or traded.  We can’t have Matt Corral as a third stringer, he needs reps in practice to develop as our future QB if we decide to move on from Baker. 

PJ is gone.  Who is the first  backup at the beginning of the year means nothing. 

If Mayfield starts, then they will focus on developing  Matt, not Sam.

$14-18 million for playing back-up QB and riding the pine isn't the worst thing in the world for either guy. At some point, people will be calling for you to come in and you'll be the most popular guy on the team.

Let's not spend too many tears for whoever isn't given the starting spot.

Baker knows nothing of our system and team and camp is a few weeks away.

Doubt he starts.

Darnold vs Cleveland is probably more likely because he will be the better QB at that time.  The moronic thing to do would be to cut him even though we have to pay him, just to make grudge holding fans happy.

Then they get to see Baker look inept because of a short playbook while getting killed by his former team.

What a great first week Sunday on the Huddle that would be

To be fair it’s a brand new system for Darnold too.  He only has the advantage of a few weeks of OTAs.

I would expect Darnold sits all year and walks in FA in the offseason since we likely won't get a trade for him.  With Corral there no reason to keep him.  Plus if Baker plays well we are set - if he sucks we have a high draft pick and grab a rookie QB.....either way Darnold is done if he doesn't start

They have no intention of releasing him. Unless someone makes them an offer they cant refuse. Which we all know won't happen.

Never say never, some team could lose their starter in training camp to an injury, sexual assault arrest, drug trafficking charge, murder for hire plot, the list goes on and on. Darnold could be an option for those teams!

      2026 Schedule. My goodness

      Bad news is Bryce will actually get use a middle of the round pick (9-8) missing any chance to get a QB. Honestly though I think Tep would be ok with that and see it as a reason to resign him. After all that’s the most success Tep can muster in 10 years.

      Yes.   It's been widely reported Aaron Glenn is an egomaniac and only wants staff who will not challenge him or tip the scales of power in any direction but his.   I'm guessing that has to be one of, if not, the most toxic environments across the four major sport leagues in America.

      Very intrigued how Morgan and Canales handle the offseason

      By ProcessBlue2 · Posted

      Dan tends to attack one specific position group per offseason and the sprinkle others throughout the roster. He extended Moton, signed Hunt, Lewis, Nijman one offseason and then extended Brown and signed Wharton and Hunt and drafted Jackson next offseason. My guess is he attacks LB and Edge this offseason.    1. What do you do with Icky? Likely a scratch for next season and due a massive contract (if healthy) They will bring back Nijman and Christensen and draft a guy on Day 2 is my guess and hope one of them can fill the hole. 2. Coker has the talent for 2nd WR, but do you pay a guy who gets hurt that premium? I think hes your number 3 simply due to risk. Will the Panthers seek another vet or go surprisingly high in the draft? They will probably sign him more and longer than the RFA Tender to keep him happy and not break the bank in the process. Can see them getting a Vet in FA like Tutu Atwell or Hollywood Brown. Somebody with speed but also isn’t overly expensive. I think Horn and Tremayne stick around and unfortunately Legette. I wouldn’t be surprised to see Tremble released and a real TE in brought in, there is a good FA group this year. 3. Do you give X more feature time? Or cut bait now? I wouldn’t be surprised if they traded him but I’m willing to bet he gets one more year. Maybe Canales can find a role like Shenault had with McAdoo.  4. Planning the long term/short term on OL Like I said I think Christensen and Nijman are brought back for T with a Day 2 rookie and prayer something sticks. Moton, Hunt, Lewis return ofcourse. Probably resign Corbett as a safeguard at Center but I think they go C in the 1st or 2nd. Wouldn’t be shocked to see Morgan trade to the back end of the 1st to get a solid C and add picks. 5. How do you address LB? I think Rozeboom leaves. Hoping CJ Allen or Sonny Styles is still there is too big of a risk. They probably go get Kaden Elliss or Leo Chenal and pay good money for them. Maybe a guy on Day 3 for depth with Cherelus and Martin-Scott. Also think he takes a swing at Edge, wouldn’t be shocked to see Hendrickson or Oweh here.  6. Do you bank of Chuba bouncing back?    I think Chuba remains Chuba. There are some decent change of pace backs out there this year that will be cheap. Still developing Etienne and Brooks may be healthy. I think it’s Chuba and that crew maybe a veteran that’s not Dowdle. More like Deejay Dallas who was here already once.  I also think Dalton calls it and they get an upgrade at back up. Nobody that would endanger Bryce’s job but somebody that isn’t 55 years old either. Trubisky, Minshew, Pickett, Kyle Allen (yes same one).
