So I read speculation that he might be worth 5-8  million as a back up on a 1 year deal. What were you thinking is a premium?

He was on IR for most of the season so he isn't exactly in a great negotiating position if he wants to stay here.

I saw $10m somewhere that I've been running with. 5-8m on a one year I'd be good with.

To me the best way to do it is have a relatively low base pay with lots of incentives if certain goals are achieved. That is fair to both sides. If you play great you get a lot more but if you don't we cut our losses. Guaranteed money which is all they want, actually takes away the incentive to over perform.

What would it take to convince you Reich's staff should commit to Sam Darnold as their veteran QB next season? 

Surely Reich's staff won't make a decision without doing their own due diligence would they? 

What would that entail?  

Review of Sam's previous games seems like a given of course.  In depth Q/A sessions to test his knowledge, decision making skills and response time?  Actual workouts to test his agility, both mental and physical? What else?

What other tests/research does Reich's staff need to conduct prior to giving Sam Darnold another opportunity to redeem himself?

Or is Sam Darnold a lost cause?

I don't doubt they'll do their due diligence but it's worth noting that McCown already has arguably a greater knowledge of Darnold than anyone else is going to get watching film.

Whatever the current coaching staff decides with Sam is fine by me.  I have confidence in this staff to make the correct call.

I don't think they are allowed to do QA or any testing due to CBA

Darnold is not my 1st, 2nd, or 3rd choice(maybe...). Just the number has to be low. 

That last part was the best he looked........it was mainly done to prevent him from passing tho....

Much rather go with Minshew or White.

Does this restriction apply until 15 March when free agency begins?

 

I thought I read no workouts or flim stuff until April 1 but maybe that's only under contract?

 

I think it's stupid that a guy on his own can't go to a coach and ask for help.

Tampa Bay was a trash team.. 

Ah okay.

Tampa is now a trash team we faced...with one of (if not, the) Greatest QBs in NFL History. 

I guess you got to do what you got to do to support a narrative.  

Great Job Reaction GIF

I just love these types of threads. 

Don't worry, though...The Big Bad Darnold won't be around to "hurt you" anymore. 

 

Instead, we'll have someone else we'll probably bitch about.

We have no idea what they will do at this point. Lots of options.

I am not 100% sure if they have even decided to heavily pursue a QB in the draft. That will change your plans dramatically.

Well if they don't pursue a QB, there will be a ton of pissed off Huddlers here.

We need to get started SOMEWHERE as far as going after a Franchise QB.

And the only place to potentially find one is in the Draft, not Free Agency or the Scrap Heap.

And if I recall (back when I was a Jets fan), Sam had a very good season (for him) with McCown in his ear in 2019(I think).

Once McCown left, so did all the QB Guidance he was getting and was stuck with Adam "QB Whisperer" Gase (Ha!).  

 

I think Josh may (a big "MAY", though) convince Reich to give Sam a long look before looking at any other available QB's out there.  

It also helps that when Frank watches video of Sam, he will see his old #14 on Sam's back and consider him a "kindred spirit".   🤭

I mean they were a below 500 team. So I would say they were below average. It was a down year for Brady which is probably why he retired.

Panthers fans have bitched about every QB. Actually they bitched the loudest about the only MVP in franchise history. What has Darnold accomplished with two teams now? Why does he have such a following? Why so many chances? Other QB's have been long given up on by now.

He'll be 30 and his fanclub will still be saying "but wait...this is the year it's all going to click!"

      Emanuel McNeil Warren + Jacob Rodriguez

      I'm not sure 19 is too high for Rodriguez anymore.  He looks to be moving up boards, but it could be smokescreens.

      Panthers WR Xavier Legette named potential trade candidate for 2026 offseason

      By MHS831 · Posted

      I see XL this way---great athlete.  Good person.  When we drafted him, we knew he was raw.  One year of WR in college (starting) and in HS, he was a QB, I believe. We knew we would need patience with him.  I think year 3 will be make or break.  He is older, and I think that people with his athletic ability have always been better than those with less---but those with less can become more successful.  Why is that?  in my view, it is mental. XL can learn the mechanics and nuances of playing WR if he becomes focused on it and works at it.  I had the opportunity to talk to Armanti Edwards one day after OTAs (great guy) and he discussed how overwhelming it was.  He seemed shocked.  At that time, I knew that Fox hated the pick (I heard him mock Armanti to another coach when he saw Edwards drop a punt from a jugs machine--then I saw Armanti look back at Fox as if to suggest that he was feeling the pressure to please the coach. We forget that these are kids in their early 20s.  At the time, Fox was a lame duck.  Remember when he had Clausen as the #3 QB and was forced to move him up the ladder?  I liked Fox, but I think the climate and culture was influenced by the politics.  Currently, I see another Wr from SC who is struggling, but he is ina  very nurturing, positive culture. Let's see what happens with XL.  I am frustrated too---but XL was a second round talent who was raw and we traded up to get him.  He had 500 yards as a rookie--lets call 2025 a sophomore slump and see if we can't get at least 50 yards per game out of him.  If not, cut bait.

      Schrader / Jeremiah mock draft experiment

      By rebelrouser · Posted

      Sadiq feels like a lazy comp.  Sure he would be a big improvement over what we have but at a position we don't and maybe can't (midget qb) utilize.  I hope the staff puts together a list of players you automatically take at 19 (Freeling, Lemon, Downs, Faulk) and if none are there, trade back to look at (Thieneman, McNeil-Warren, Proctor, Lomu, Allen, Iheanachor, Banks, Woods).  I get the people that think an OT would be a waste because we temporarily patched that hole, and ILB and safety are a waste because that is high to take those particular positions, but by trading back we get extra picks to fill every need.  A draft that has an OT, S, ILB, slot WR, and C would really put us in a good position moving forward if we get an extra first three rounds additional pick.
