I would still give a serious look at Robinson and Jefferson in the later 1st assuming we make the playoffs, but yes I would give Darnold maybe a 2 yr 35 mil 14 mil guarantee type deal.

KJ Jefferson? He’s staying in college.

If we bring Darnold back, I hope to god we don’t, it needs to be a minimal as possible and if he doesn’t take it, whatever.

Darnold has done enough to warrant a contract offer.  The question is how much? I think he's played himself into a Trubisky-like contract (2 years, $14 million with almost all the guarantees in the 1st year). Any more than that and I think you let him go elsewhere and potentially nab a decent comp pick.

I wouldn’t say no… but I still think he’s a career backup.

Eh. I’d only bring him back to start if there is no rookie worth it/trading up for. Because I’d rather stop chasing FA QBs and actually build a team at some point. And he will be cheap while the new coach builds the defense and gets weapons here.

Despite having the chance at winning a complete trash division, this team needs a lot of help. Which is another reason to say no to spending more on a QB other than draft picks.

There is still at least 2 games to play. After the season is over hopefully we will know whether this should be an option.

This is the answer. There will be times the next 2 weeks that Sam will have to lead this team out of trouble. If he can do it, give him an offer.

      Steve Smith on Ron Rivera

      By strato · Posted

      He was saying Ron hid when he was cut/traded whatever that was.  I get being resentful, and feeling like that was gutless.  He, and Ron, neither are from the ‘breaking up with someone in a text or email is okay’ generation. That avoidance is seen as a lack of character.  Talking about it on camera how many years later? Why? And it is all one sided he said she said stuff. As he is speaking I am thinking well I bet that ain’t the whole story.    Between this type of stuff and him cheating on the wife stuff some of his shine is wearing off.

      Steve Smith on Ron Rivera

      By frankw · Posted

      I was very critical of Ron Rivera as a coach for a range of reasons. But Steve Smith has been playing the victim for years now and it's just not working anymore. We know for a fact that he was disgruntled from the moment we drafted Cam Newton because of his own ego. That says more about him than anything he could say about Rivera. And yes Ron Rivera had a lot of faults. No excuses for it. We were right to move on from him. But ultimately Steve Smith couldn't hold it together with that group the same as he struggled to hold it together under previous regimes. He needs to grow up and accept his own role in the last few years of his Panthers career because there are things he could and should have done differently the same as anyone else. Stop seeking to only shift blame to everyone else and evolve or just stop talking and fade away. This isn't helping anyone and it is certainly not helping his image.

      A friend of mine was involved in building Steve Smith's house and nearly came to blows with him during the process.  Love Smitty as a player, but I've heard very little good about him as a human being.
