Can Sam Darnold play himself into becoming the 2023 starter?

After what I saw today, he seems to be turning the corner.  I think I would sign him for next season and forget giving up 3 firsts or paying $50m for a veteran free agent.

I would have to see the numbers, but we REALLY need a TE.  We could use a S.  We need healthy CBs. 

 

Yeah we need a healthy secondary obv but we need an offense helmed by a QB who can muster more than 24 points. The best teams in the league are regularly dropping 30 points. You guys wanted playoffs but somehow expected we would walk our way into the dance with this measly output? Nah.

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

nice article. Today we saw old Sam return. He still has happy feet when DL's get around him and really with the O Lines he had in NY and his first season him who could blame him. If his OL can protect him and give him clean pockets, I would say yes for a year or two and just a tad over minimum.

Starr 2.0, come on down…

I'd be ok with re-signing him to be a very short term bridge Qb option or even a backup but no way in he!! do you give him longterm franchise starting Qb money! I would love love to see what they have in Corral with this offense!

I don’t think anyone on the board has proposed paying him starter money.  Cap friendly back up money only.

The fumbles really torpedoed the team in the end. 

No denying that.

Wish our Defense could've not allowed the Bucs to march down the field at will throughout the game, though.

You're right.  It must've been some other poster named trueblade.  

You must be very smart 'cause you suck at "playing dumb".

When your LT completely misses and your QB gets blasted in 1.4 seconds that's not on Sam.

When your center snaps the ball early that's not on Sam.

 

He had a pick that was a good read he just missed the throw

The real question is who could viably be the 2023 starter if it's not Sam Darnold. We may not want him but we may have to keep him around in case something like starting Corral or the next rookie doesn't work out.

This 100%. There will be teams that do worse than 2022 Darnold next year.

The need for starter level QBs far exceeds the number available.

It's easy to say we need to upgrade Darnold. It's not as easy to make it happen.

There is absolutely no guarantee even a highly drafted rookie QB will outplay Darnold (especially next year), or that we would be able to land a FA QB we wanted (hasn't happened the last 3 offseasons).

No one in their right mind wants to coronate Darnold as the starter next season.

But counting on Corral and/or discounting Darnold would be foolish too.

We did a lot worse at QB, especially with Baker, before Sam started even this year.

    • Best I heard its a clause the bungals want to add. It prevents them form paying the full guaranteed amount if triggered. No one knows the details of the clause, but guesses are it relates to off-field stuff. Stewart is in the right here. Before they signed burrow, chase, and Higgins they were the cheapest team in the league bar none. Unlike tepper or jarrah Jones or any other NFL ownership, all Mike brown owns is the beagals. Every other owner has many other money making businesses, not bungals.  I still remember when Brenston Bunker was starting on WFNZ and he told the story about the beagals telling him to pick a used cup form a huge pile, LOLS! They been on hard knocks and I remember Marvin lewis telling the players not to take home Gatorade bottles........* but in that case, I believe some players were taking a back pack and filling it up with drinks. Still you make millions(around 200million) in net profit and Im sure coke gave the team those bottles, still... Its a 32 team billion business, someone has to the cheapest.....Panthers were around the next cheapest team before tepper bought them and he has POURED millions upon millions into the team. He bought a bubble that Richardson never would, so the team had to gather in building during the rain. He spent millions on coofus machines that he just gave away like the bubble. Tepper made that AC trailer a thing. I've trashed him about his concerts and taking away end zone seats from fans. But the guy will spend money any way to efforts to better the team, dang I just remembered the deal he gave Rhule- more than Andy Reid at the time.  I know results have not came, but Id 100% take Tepper over Mike brown as a owner.
    • There's no way they're shipping you some uniform you haven't seen lol.  I feel like they'd just refund you and ask if you wanted the new one when it launched. Probably just making the blues the primary, or a new helmet for a new alternate/variation.
    • Man even after 5-12 seasons they are able to produce hype videos.
