How would you guys feel about keeping Darnold as a long term backup

I’m seeing a lot of talk about Corral being a back up and nothing more and my question is why not see if he can be a starter? What do we know? We know that a few draft experts had Corral rated as a first round draft pick, we know he has one of the quickest releases there is, we know that Fitt traded up to get him in the 3rd round and we know he has an excellent work ethic.

We are writing him off because he literally took what, 2 or three practice snaps all of training camp because of dumb azz Matt Rhule and as a result looked awful in very limited pre season play?! You don’t say..

Man, if PJ can turn into our Alex Smith. Teddy 2 Gloves with actual TD productions.

 

I don't usually tout my Michigan State guys, but if you can afford 10 bucks a month for NFL+. you can watch this kid every week. The closest thing to Barry I've ever seen. 

 

Kennith Walker III. RB for the Hawks. Watch him if you can. I promise it will be worth it.

 

7 yds per carry y'all

Let's say after Darnold collects this year's ridiculous paycheck, he likes Charlotte and wants to stick around. The Panthers go draft a QB in the top of the draft and keep Matt Corral as well. Darnold signs a reasonable backup salary contract. How would you feel about that QB room?

That's pending PJ doesn't have a crazy awesome end to the season which I'm sad to say probably isn't happening but we can all dream!

Corral or PJ. time to get rid of the Baker and Darnold stench.

Yeah, the odds of McAdoo being back are pretty slim.

I mean it's possible, but yeah. Don't know that I'd count on PJ sticking with a new staff either.

And if we're talking about a rookie and Corral, that's a crazy young QB room. Whoever's the vet QB of the bunch needs to be pretty solid.

I think PJ might actually be the highest possibility to return from the current five guys. Depends on how he performs the rest of the way but I don't think Darnold or Mayfield have any shot of returning. Eason isn't likely either, IMO. Corral depends on the new coach and their assessment. Fitt I would assume wants to keep him but maybe he was another Rhule choice, who knows? He definitely looked replaceable.

2023 is the perfect opportunity to reset the QB position and purge the roster of past sins.  Corral is the only QB we have under contract for 2023, and we should enter the offseason moving forward with as a given, barring PJ looking like Roger Staubach the rest of the way.

I don't see any rationale for bringing back Mayfield or Darnold.  What exactly do they offer?

Ideally, we would enter 2023 with Corral, a veteran, and a new QB from the draft.  Could that vet be PJ?  Maybe, but if so we need a magician as an QB coach, because that room essentially has two rookies thanks to Rhule's misuse/malpractice with Corral.

So, Darnold is not my first choice as a vet....or the second.....or the third.....

I feel the same way about McAdoo as OC, barring some huge epiphany with him.  Like the spirit of Don Coryell or Bill Walsh taking over his body.

      "Floor, not Ceiling" - between the hashmarks

      By strato · Posted

      I don’t know about floor in a team defense sense but we needed more.  The floor that I am familiar with is our QBs floor and it is so low that every other part of the team needs to be beefed up.     We tried our best to improve these things and I think we did improve the defense and we at least kept the offense  from sinking from no LT.  And ostensibly helped the receivers too.   So we kept a window open that we at least have a chance to improve our record by a game of two.  Which would probably give us the division.

      Yeah. I am one of. those who think a JAG RB can eat with really good blocking. (Brooks is most important in my mind, in tbe passing game and that is what we’ll lose without him)  There are a lot of aspects to this. The big one that caused us to struggle is Young and his arm scared no one.  Best back, best blocking still cannot defeat a really good defense if they are not forced to respect the pass.  And teams did not.    But, a strong OL and running game Can get us over against weaker defenses.  And if Bryce still doesn’t scare anyone we can still win some games. Like last year  So it is really important to tend to that OL.   Get that straight and see if in his fourth year he can finally back defenses off. That is what if is all about this year to me, on the Bryce front.
