Because he said it would be "announced" after the game? He said nothing about the game itself being a deciding factor. 

It’s already been announced and it’s no surprise.

Hint- it’s not the one that threw 3 INTs in the last practice and never had a winning season…

Letting your QB2 start in the second pre-season game is not a big deal. I do think the charade between Baker and Darnold is over, Baker has that locked up. PJ has more reps and knowledge than Corral does right now so he's going to get the start to help with evaluating the whole offense. Darnold is being hung out as trade bait for now until nobody takes it and then he'll be cut I assume.

this trade theory is just retarded.   Whats the best case scenario for trading darnold, us eating 95% of his salary for a conditional 7th?

It's no big secret that's for sure.  It may have been sketchy at first due to the head start on the playbook Sam had but it became clear quickly that Sam was not a real threat to start. 

This whole experiment was to sort out the qb depth chart going into the season.  The only real competition is between Sam and PJ for the backup spot this season and this season only until Corral earns it.

Jmo.. Sam's about to be cut.. If PJ or Matt even seem competent.. They are getting him out of the locker Room taking the hit and handing Baker the keys.. For this season.. The only locks on the roster is Baker and Corral now.. If PJ proves anything tonight.. They will feel comfortable getting rid of Darnold..

I’m sure we can eat 99% of his contract and get like a future 7th for him.

Sorry, dude. Walker is just not that good, especially in the red zone.

He can look half decent (sometimes) when there's plenty of space to work with, but once the field shortens it's pretty bad.

He's not an NFL quarterback.

I agree to disagree, Scot.  I think he's more of an NFL QB than Sam.  I'm not saying PJ is a starter.  I'm not saying he's some incredible talent.  But I trust him more than I do Sam, and thus, with what we have, I would rather keep him than Sam.

This doesn't make sense unless the qb1 competition is truly over. They kept saying the starter would be announced after this game. How are you using this game to decide if neither Sam nor Baker are playing? And if you have already made up your mind, why not make an official announcement?

Rhule said a week ago the starters wouldn't play.  Rhule said joint practice were largely for the starters.  But Bill is playing his.  I think it goes back to Rhule copying people last preseason.  Reality was those 2 teams last year were simply only going to expose their studs QBs (Lamar and Allen) to 1 preseason game and he mimicked what they did.

      I believe I just read somewhere that the Rams don't do Top 30 Visits. I mean, it makes sense from the standpoint of trying to keep information close to the vest.

      Emanuel McNeil Warren + Jacob Rodriguez

      By ForJimmy · Posted

      I'm not sure 19 is too high for Rodriguez anymore.  He looks to be moving up boards, but it could be smokescreens.

      Panthers WR Xavier Legette named potential trade candidate for 2026 offseason

      By MHS831 · Posted

      I see XL this way---great athlete.  Good person.  When we drafted him, we knew he was raw.  One year of WR in college (starting) and in HS, he was a QB, I believe. We knew we would need patience with him.  I think year 3 will be make or break.  He is older, and I think that people with his athletic ability have always been better than those with less---but those with less can become more successful.  Why is that?  in my view, it is mental. XL can learn the mechanics and nuances of playing WR if he becomes focused on it and works at it.  I had the opportunity to talk to Armanti Edwards one day after OTAs (great guy) and he discussed how overwhelming it was.  He seemed shocked.  At that time, I knew that Fox hated the pick (I heard him mock Armanti to another coach when he saw Edwards drop a punt from a jugs machine--then I saw Armanti look back at Fox as if to suggest that he was feeling the pressure to please the coach. We forget that these are kids in their early 20s.  At the time, Fox was a lame duck.  Remember when he had Clausen as the #3 QB and was forced to move him up the ladder?  I liked Fox, but I think the climate and culture was influenced by the politics.  Currently, I see another Wr from SC who is struggling, but he is ina  very nurturing, positive culture. Let's see what happens with XL.  I am frustrated too---but XL was a second round talent who was raw and we traded up to get him.  He had 500 yards as a rookie--lets call 2025 a sophomore slump and see if we can't get at least 50 yards per game out of him.  If not, cut bait.
