He is just happy he is getting $18.5 million after his awful season last year.

Seriously--he has to know he is not going anywhere as an NFL QB--just invest the money and live a happy life knowing that you had all the tools and opportunity and you failed.

Beat me to it. 

He has been the anointed starter for his first four years, and the results have been consistently bad.  And by results, I mean his results.  The fact that the four teams he started for were disasters is a footnote, but that does not excuse his own performances. 

That is no sin.  The membership list of that club is pretty lengthy.

Never questioned Sam's character.  He seems like a genuinely good dude, and I would wish him nothing but the best in whatever his endeavors.  I just don't think he's an NFL QB.

Hopefully he took his studies seriously when he was in school and can finish his degree and do whatever makes him happy.

I think he'll have a long, uneventful NFL career as a QB2.

its training camp some quarterback will hurt something 

and then they will call us and ask for darnold.

first we will laugh then go alright give us picks lots of them!

Every team has a backup QB as bad a Sam on the roster already.  Many with one better.  We would have to pay someone to take Sam.

“But at the end of the day, this is a business and we both take our craft and what we do very seriously. So it’s going to be very serious when that time comes to compete, but off the field, and all that stuff, me and Baker are really cool.”

Baker and I, you stupid sonofabitch!

      Myles Garrett Traded to Rams

      I feel like this trade just lives rent free in people's heads and keeps morphing into different things. First thing is that the rumored trade was for future firsts. They wouldn't have any extra picks in 2023; the firsts would have been for 2024 and 2025. With very few exceptions, NFL GMs don't value picks that far away. You have to have a lot of job security to pull that off. Like Chiefs, Eagles, Rams kinda stability. That's obviously not the case with David Tepper, especially since he'd just fired his head coach. No GM except for like Howie Roseman is going to trade an asset you have now for a future asset you probably get to use.  Second, at the time you'd have to assume these are first rounders late in the first round. Obviously currency is currency and the panthers need young players, but these weren't slam dunk top ten picks. At the end of the day there's one pick that separates a first and second round pick.  Lastly, the only place that ever reported this trade was the Rams. All the reporters just repeated what McVay said and it became gospel. We have no idea how serious the negotiations were, if they ever really happened, if the offer was real, etc. And I personally believe McVay and Sneed are the kind of guys who would make up rumors like that to fug up other teams, mostly because I assume if I've thought of it someone smarter than me has.  I don't know how you'd call it the greatest draft haul of all time. Firsts quickly lose their value the farther out they are and Burns had 16.5 sacks last season. And anyway those picks would probably just been tossed into the burning inferno of the Bryce trade up so it's a moot point anyway.
