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.

    • You’re playing madden we’re talking real football stuff…. He does have you seen his special on internet he def thinks he’s getting paid 
    • Without the team having an identity kinda hard to predict what they value.  They either are really trying to build a balanced team, or preparing for another swing at qb if Bryce doesn’t pan out. Seems like we value the o line but the $ spent there has been underwhelming besides Lewis, you could say it’s because of injuries but still hasn’t been worth the investment. as already stated, the whole handling of Bryce young as a whole has been ass backwards, we spent the years we’re supposed to take advantage of having a qb with a lower cap hit, building the team up to be adequate. now It appears, key word appears, the saints have done it correctly, which is painful to even think about. Regardless, I hope the front office has paid attention to qb contracts recently, such as Tua, Kyler, Daniel jones(pre colts) and don’t settle for subpar qb play at franchise qb rates    
    • This is the flaw in your logic.  Cutting 3 of our best players will somehow move us from whatever we are to "compete". Even the most Young super fans are not predicting a ceiling above top 10-12, and that will not nearly cut it.  Someone will need to break the log jam of QBs getting nothing or North of 50. Our qb is at best a middle ground, lets hope it will be us that also manage to pay the worth at about 100 over 3 years.  And before you jump me, yes that is only of he improves.
