Maybe I'm crazy but seems to me like we should want Sam getting reps in practice and in pre-season games hoping that he looks good enough and that he is legitimately competing closely with Baker so that maybe a QB desperate team will take Sam off of our hands. If you want to sell a car you don't park it in the garage. 

You park it in the garage if you know it will die if you try to move it into the driveway or onto the street, and then, while it is sitting there, leak oil and coolant like a sieve.

Right now, even if Sam suddenly looked like he knew what he was doing out there, given his four-year history in games, the best anyone would offer up for him is probably a conditional 6th or 7th, provided we eat all but maybe a token amount of his contract.  To use the car analogy, we are trying to sell Sam for parts.

We worry about being nice and singing Kumbuya in the parking lot in what is a rather cut-and-dried business based on performance.  Most other teams make roster moves as soon as they determine somebody is not part of their future.  In this case, it is not like we are dealing with somebody that may have fetched a first to fourth round pick in return, but his status is in doubt due to an injury or sudden down year.  Showcasing that person may get some of their lost value back.  Darnold is not that person, and trying to prove he is takes reps away from others whose value or potential is much higher.

Read yeasterdah that PJ and Corral are splitting reps at 3 apiece. 
Why is PJ still on this team? Corral could have 6 reps instead of 3 if Rhule would get over his obsession with Walker. 
 

Have you seen PJ’s knees? He’s definitely putting in the extra work to earn the position. 😉

so why bother with the theatrics.

Its the NFL, there's a lot of theatrics.  With Baker "winning" the competition he will have "walked on" yet again to win another position on a team.  There's probably some truth to it as well.  It was possible that his injuries, combined with his "tweaked" throwing motion may have impaired his play.  The NFL has a lot of theater and story telling.

I'm not sure what Baker was doing there? That looked intentional to me.

Interestingly, the Darnold and Corral misses were almost identical, except that Corral was a laser, but location-wise they were almost in the same spot, and both were very close to the target, off by the thickness of the football about.

      There are 98 NBA players that have more points in the paint than our superstar. That isn't a ref problem.

      I don't really get the Cam parallels. Cam was a monster and even with the refs not giving him his due he still ate. Where it finally had an impact was when they let defenses headhunt him. There are probably some refs that don't like LaMelo for reasons people can determine on their own. But I think most of the noncalls are due to us being a small market team and the league and the refs just giving zero fưcks if we continue to exist. At the end of the day it's up to LaMelo to rise above it all. Nobody is out there trying to take his head off. He needs to add some bulk in the offseason assert himself and get physical in the paint and take any fouls that might come along the way and gradually you will see the tide turn. But nothing is going to change for the better for him or the team if he just continues to limit himself to acrobatic threes from halfcourt. That's just the reality of the situation.

      Terrence Brown Jr. Scored 19.9 and 3.8 apg for Utah. He had a visit today, Juke Harris had one yesterday. Word is Knox is following Martin to UNC.  Avdalas committed today Jarin committed to returning  Young committed to returning  Adams committed to enrolling  Last I heard Mingo is still committed  So right now the roster is as far as I know.  Mingo, Adams, Avdalas, Young, Knox, Matlekovic, and Stevenson.    Veesar and Juke both have significant offers from UNC.
