Should we resign Sam and draft other positions?

Resign Sam? It depends.  As a backup and mentor I’d consider it  

Draft other positions?  Assuming this means not attempting to go after a qb, no.

I’m sure Reich has been looking at tape for Sam already. I’ll wait to see if he pushes to keep or jettison Sam.

Nah, not a chance. No way in hell is Reich rolling out there next year with Sam hanging around. 
 

Cleanse our souls of this, panthers

as long as they draft a qb who cares

Amazing how people still think Darnold is a starter in this league. He is not. He is a backup. He sucks. 
It was very obvious he made our offense very limited and that Saints game was absolutely putrid. Which  Darnold supporters seem to forget. 
Darnold is done and if this team resigns him after how atrocious he was with us. I have reason to believe that that the Panthers FO is run by morons. 
Also Darnold was not solid. He was the very definition of a backup QB. Good for 3 or 4 games and then the wheels fall off. 

It is the strangest thing on the planet to have a following and be such a bad player. 

I will never understand how some people still see him as anything but what he is, one of the worst starting QB's we have ever had.

If frank endorsed the move, hard to be upset over it.  We certainly could do worse.

… but the dude pretty much did everything we could ask of any non-top 10 QB the other 5 games he played. And that's with an absolute moron calling plays for us on offense...

Interesting coincidence that Sam played his best ball for us in a year when our OL finally looked NFL ready.  I’m not really sure what one has to do with the other.  I’ll think on that some more.

Bridge, not long term answer.  Substitute Minshew or Brissett if you prefer.

So he had a bad game that we won. Truth is he went 4-2 and managed the game well. He made throws and moved the chains. Even with the Saints game he averaged scoring 24 points a game during that stretch which was above the NFL average. And that was coming off IR playing for McAdoo. His quarterback rating was 92 with a couple of games over 100. He was more than serviceable and had Horne played in the Tampa game he would have taken us to the playoffs. You can dislike him all you want but his play was not the problem at the end of the year.  Should be interesting to see what Reich thinks about him.

Delusional Darnold fans are always funny because in the end we all know how this will end. Darnold will fail. 
QBR is a terrible stat and if you look at his stats during those games it is unimpressive. 
We may of won the Saints game but Darnold was putrid, that is the Darnold we will see if he starts for us next year. Even Reich can’t make a diamond out of poo.

Do you really want Sam Darnold a a mentor to our rookie? Hell, no to that.

Pretty tired of Bridge QBs. Time to get our future QB.

I hear you but if we can’t one of the top 2 QBs I would seriously resign Sam and wait.  Our team can get great with these picks and I ain’t done with Sam.  

how long do we wait? sam isn't the future. we can't act like he might be. 

take a chance on one or two of the QBs from this year and keep trying until we find the guy. it's the most important position on the team. you might think that we don't need to do anything until we find the perfect guy, but if we keep waiting for all the stars to align and Cam 2.0 falls into out laps, we're going to be waiting a very long time. 

We don't need to settle.

we DO need to keep swinging, and that's including this year.
