So he gets benched and quits? We already had one Carr here towards the end of their career…would rather roll with Darnold 

Yeah Darnolds knock was his turnovers. Carr is a turnover machine this year for whatever reason. Plus leaving the team when he's benched to not be a distraction seems like maybe more of a distraction than just sitting on the bench like most other guys deal with?

Derek Carr sucks. 4-5 years ago he was respectable, but the dude has been crying at press conferences this year and gets benched because he blows and leaves the team. Hard fuging pass come on now

For me the ship hasn’t sailed on Darnold yet.  It can take time, setbacks and some humility for a player to reach their full potential.  He has two more games and a potential playoff game(s) to CHANGE his life and the narrative.  He’s fully aware of this, and IMO he’s earned the opportunity.  Personally, I’m going to judge Sam on what’s he’s doing now, not what he did last year or prior.  
 

It’s going to play itself out so there’s no point in conjecture.  If he continues to play well and show growth he will be in the conversation.

Only way I'd want him is on a vet mom. Contract, without promising the starting position.  

Really depends on the vet's mom. 

Only way I see it is if the Raiders release him and we could sign him to a short term, reasonable deal.  That reasonable deal isn't happening and Carr doesn't want short term so not going to happen.

    • Names I'd keep an eye on... Coby White,  Jalen Suggs, Amen Thompson  and Stephen Castle...  3 teams except Orlando has checked on Melo before and rumblings of sours getting rid of fox too. I'd think they think Melo and Wemby would make them nuclear out west. 
    • Well he somehow had 12 preseason carries for not playing. He also has 20 carries in the regular season, not three. He has actually played in about 7% of the offensive snaps for this regular season(33% of the special teams snaps). This isn't stuff you have to make up, these are very easily referenced statistics, man.
    • It's not common for a RB to recover from two ACL tears in the same knee. It's fairly rare. You are correct that it isn't the career ender that it used to be but there is also the fact that we appear to have largely moved on with the additions of Dowdle and Etienne.  Dobbins is a very good example. He has basically missed 54% of his career regular season games since he came into the league in 2020. It will end up being 57% at the conclusion of this season. It's a big contributing factor to why he is on this third NFL team in 6 years. It's certainly possible that may be 4 by the beginning of next season. I would say there is very little chance that Brooks ever contributes in any meaningful way in Carolina. Possibly with another team but I am extremely skeptical of his future here because of those injuries and because of the roster.
