Sam Darnold Contract and Bryce

Here’s the contract Sam Darnold signed with the Seahawks:

With little guaranteed money beyond 2025 and a team-friendly bonus structure, the Seahawks have a franchise QB and can afford to surround him with talent. This should be the basis for discussions with Bryce if we decide to extend him beyond the 5th year option. 
 

Bryce hasn’t approached a season like Darnold has put up in his last two. I still want Bryce to be our QB of the future, but $30mil should be the drop zone. If the Seahawks can get Darnold and go to the Super Bowl for $33.5mil, then Dan & Co can use that as leverage when the time comes.

Young should get no where near that. Hell, as of this moment he shouldn’t get any contract. The option is even debatable, but makes sense in some ways.

Facts... at the moment... he should at max be 15 to 20. Sam had to go through a bunch of 1 year deals to get to that 33 but he's earned it. He put up stats consistently. This is Bryces year to put up or shut up. If the team gets improved around him... and he starts out like the last 3 years, it's time to definitely  move on. Hopefully  we do bring in another Qb to keep that room honest

33 million per extension for Bryce Young makes me nauseas.

Agreed. Y4 is make Or break for him. No way we give a long term contract for $30M much less $50M a year without seeing more.

You underestimate the stupidity of our owner. Bryce shouldn't have got the 5th year but he did. He hasn't had back to back franchise QB level game performances ever. Our franchise is being built on hope and a determined owner who will not admit he made the wrong choice.

    • Sam Darnold was the 2018 QB. Not Mayfield, Allen, or Jackson. Firing Rhule was the key. Wilks, Darnold, CMC, Rico, TMac, Moore, and Coker would have gotten the job done. Toss in all the extra picks wasted on day one and day 2 project players, and the Panthers have a top defense too.  
    • That’s if you draft the wrong quarterback. Patriots aren’t having to do that. They are straight in year two.  I suppose you could argue that they did draft the wrong one and then built like you said.  The difference is, if that were the case, they moved on from their mistake. That’s what I am thinking about that. 
    • Yeah. That start to his career was about as bad as it can get. In New York, Meat grinder press corps, of the first degree,    When he came here he was on OC 3 - in year 3.  And people in this fan base that think they are smart, could not take that stuff into account.  Now, most of the smart ones are not Bryce Stans but Bryce gets 4 damned years free pass. At least 3  The fail of the organization AND fan base in general, fuging shamefully short sighted,  And the choking thing, players have to fail before they succeed. With very few exceptions. Last year was really his first meaningful, high stakes game. Okay, he didn’t play well. They learn from that, or are supposed to. You don’t throw out a guy with all those tools and with his rocky did him no favors background for not being perfect right away.  He might suck in the SB, but he proved a ton this year.    If we’d have had any patience he was the guy to use it on, not Bryce Young.
