The FA list is pretty comical. Teddy/Baker/Sam/PJ/Heinicke/Kyle Allen. Been there done that. Then you have Jimmy G, Brissett, Minshew. Then you have Keenum/Dalton and a couple other aging backups that may or may not even be interested in football. I don't really want any of them for more than $5M max

From  that list,  Brissett, Minshew and Darnold would probably be the the best ones for the salary they would require.

No. Final answer.  There is nothing he can do where I would endorse it.  We need to rid ourselves from everything Rhule did.  

So are you ready to get rid of Derrick Brown and Jeremy Chinn too?  Rhule's gone.  He can't hurt us anymore.

The reality is, while Sam is a trash tier starter, he's on the higher end for backups.

Only scenario I can see Sam Delusional staying is if he accepts the ABSOLUTE BARE MINIMUM salary....as a BACKUP and understands that he will never start another NFL Game except for injury. 

If Sam's delusions on that Podcast are any indication, though, I think he honestly believes he's still "starter material" in the NFL, in which case I'd just let him walk and move on.

Not since Eric The Red have we seen a Fire Bearded  Conquering Warrior like this!!

Sammy Franchise is back and there's going to be a reckoning!!!

I love your gimmick.

Now do Matt Rhule :

"I'm a good Football Head Coach"

He has 5 games to audition. We will see how it goes. If he goes 4-1 or 5-0. bring him back. If he does like I expect, time to cut bait. 

That actually sounds pretty fair to me. 

It's also very unlikely he does that (I would be stunned if he did that WITHOUT a safety blanket like CMC to throw to) but yeah...I guess. 

He wouldn't be the starter (he'd be holding a clipboard and cheering on his teammates which is what he does better anyway) so whatever.

GEQBUS is back to lead us to the promised land!  Faker Mayfield and Pouty PJ can't hold a candle to the Bearded Wonder The Darnold.  Let me tell you folks, we love our GEQBUS here in Charlotte.  MAKE CAROLINA GREAT AGAIN!

If Darnold goes 4-1 in the last five (meaning he would be 5-1 on the season), we will be picking around 12-16 and the current coaching staff will still be in place.  We will be out of range of Young and Stroud.

We should sign him for 2 years, 12 million - with 6 million guaranteed (meaning we can cut him in year two for a cap savings of 6m.)

Use the first for Mayer or an Edge, then use a second on another developmental QB - Levis, McKee, Richardson, Penix, Ward, etc.  One or possibly all of these will be available.  Darnold is a bridge at a reasonable cost while we develop two young QBs.

Even if Darnold sucks the rest of the year, I doubt we go into the draft next year with just Corral on the roster.  We'll offer someone a 1 year, 5m deal, just to have an adult in the room.  If Darnold is terrible, Young or Stroud will be back on the table.  I could see Houston taking Stroud and Young falling due to his size.  It would not shock me if he fell all the way to the 7-10 range and we snag him.

Sam isn't on the higher end of backups.  A high end backup is either a talented development player you want to take over as starter or is a boring/consistent veteran that will do nothing but manage the game.  Sam is neither of those.  

and I guess I should clarify.  The signature of the Matt Rhule era was his botching of the QB position.  And I want literally no one from the Rhule era around at that position.   Corral gets a pass since he is a rookie and never played.   Baker, Sam, and PJ all should go.  New coach should bring in a new batch.

    • I think the same thing, they don’t have any better options especially since Christiansen is out for the year 
    • It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed. 
    • I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
