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!

Haha! Yeah it will take one of those things happening.

      Two Athletic articles about QBs

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      Bad teams with new coaches that want to make a splash with big passing games kill young QBs. Solid teams that can lean on the run and play-action give a chance for QBs fresh out of college to grow and learn how to dictate a game. A lot of these guys, and maybe even Bryce, aren't horrible but they are being asked to go in and be something unrealistic. They are expected to be able to put out raging dumpster fires after being handed a bucket and being told to go find some water.  And I think we see some of these guys who were labeled as busts eventually developing into serviceable, sometimes decent, sometimes quite good QBs when they land at a well-built team with good coaching and a solid identity. Mayfield, and Darnold are two that come to mind right now. And the two Joneses are certainly showing more in Indy and San Fran than they'd ever really shown before. But we're a shoddily built team that has been weakly coached into a softer style of football that puts crazy amounts of pressure on young QBs. Heck, even Andy Dalton with his experience really couldn't sustain any results here.

      Smitty goes off on CLT on WFNZ

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      1. Charlotte has been very good to Smitty and his comment is out of line.  2. XL is Smitty, just 180 degrees out of phase. He is the quintessential anti-Smith. Give 89 the ball and he will win a game for you. His high gear was terrifying and he was fearless. He was the bully on every snap he ever played here.  XL is Mr alligator arms who lives in fear of contact. He gets boxed out by guys he outweighs by 40 pounds and looks generally clueless.  Why he has chosen to defend someone he would have BBQ’ed as a teammate stumps me.

      Fake outrage from an entertainer... And yes he would have absolutely chewed him out on the field for that kind play.
