they shipped Teddy out right away and openly went shopping for a new QB this off-season. they have already shown they dgaf about pride or saving face. Sam knows the offense better than the other two. things will filter through soon enough.

they may be hoping sam will be good enough to be QB2 so they can sit corral for a year to learn. that is probably the best option, if sam can do his part. if not, he’ll be shipped out too.

We remember Teddy's demise differently.  Teddy was shipped out publicly after he had the audacity to criticize the coaching staff's performance on things like getting plays called in a timely manner, particularly in the red zone.  His complaints were largely correct, too, but once he leveled them, he had to be vanquished, even if that meant screwing ourselves further in the process.

It always looked and smelled like they were playing CYA over the criticisms at the expense of the original plan.  Teddy was not the answer, but we knew he may not be going in and spent a lot of money and resources to arguably not move the needle while sacrificing the original plan.

At this point, I think the question for Darnold is whether he stays or PJ stays.  I think your last paragraph is probably the most likely scenario:   the opening QB depth chart is Mayfield, Darnold, and Corral (in that order) and that may change as the year progresses.

Not saying I agree with that or not, just what I think the most likely result will be.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
