The ONLY interim coach I know of to lead a team to the playoffs in recent memory was the Raiders coach last year, but that was a team with a winning record and a stacked roster expected to make the playoffs. The situation was nothing like this at all IMO.

And he arguably should have been retained.

This teams is in the playoffs? Also this team is gonna get its ass whipped. Cowboys will not let us run in them and Diggs wants some more interceptions from Darnold. Making the playoffs is pointless. 

The whole point of my post was the hypothetical that we win out And make the playoffs.

Obviously if we don't it's different.

I hated the darnold trade, but had a feeling he was humbled by being benched and he learned while being out, I knew he was going to better in his return 

I think we would have won more if he had started the season

Maybe. Hard to know for sure. But he was also injured, so.

Perhaps the injury was a blessing in itself as it allowed him to continue to sit and learn?

Someone did mention he was watching other games as well (probably seeing what other QBs are doing and what he can do to better himself)....

 

I'll say this for him :  He's come a long way from that ridiculous Podcast appearance where he had an over-inflated opinion of himself.

It was definitely a blessing. It got Rhule fired.

Darnold does seem to have worked hard to improve himself when he wasn't starting. That speaks to characteristics you want in a QB, even a backup QB.

      I don't think it's any weird or unique clause, it's the offset language, same thing so many contract disputes are over. It just means that including it, if a player is cut and then signed by another team, the original team would be able to subtract how much they're getting paid by the new team from what they still owe him on their guaranteed money. For example, it's why Russell Wilson signed for the minimum last year with the Steelers as that was included in his Denver contract.  So if he signed with the Steelers for $1 million, he'd get $1 million less from the Broncos, if it was $2 million, he'd get $2 million less, basically he couldn't make any more money than he was already going to make, so you sign for the minimum to not take unnecessary cap room from your new team while giving extra cap room to your old one. The problem with trying to include it in rookie deals is that a team trying to include it, it says they think they don't really believe the player will make it 4 years with the team before they cut them.  And this usually comes up with one or two rookies in most seasons, the difference is it's usually handled much more quietly and not as public and ugly as this one. The other difference is that it's happening with the Bengals, which I believe I saw are one of the few (or only?) team that doesn't have protections for rookies in rookie and mini camps to be able to participate even if they haven't signed their contract yet.  The other teams have injury protections that allow them to still play, but the Bengals do not, which is also why this one is so public and ugly, as most the time this happens, the rookie is still participating in the rookie and subsequent mini camps, giving them more time to get the contract done before training camp when they'd then hold out.
