Hope Rhule brings that DBO sign to the stadium. If we lose....he gonna go need to take a lap.

Murray had 800+ yards, 11 TDs, and picked up 52 1st downs with his legs last season. I'd think you would be forced to spy him situationally given the damage he is doing on the ground.

only team I could see bringing Cam in because of an injury.....frankly would be NE if Mac had a very early season ending injury.

I'm got the airpods in listening and will sum it up 1. Cam knows he is a distraction (or viewed as that). That a team thinks he is too big to be the backup and he frankly gets it. He would have backed up Mac though. But he gets that being a problem for Mac/the team in the big picture...to have a QB like Cam sitting behind Mac. He is a big figure. That draws attention. It's a problem if Mac faces adversity. Just who he is. More a distraction for those on the outside who bring it to the team than an in house thing. Cam isn't a distraction in house. 2. Mac wasn't teaching him the playbook. 3. Pops brings up the hair, clothing, etc. Basically acknowledges it impacts things for an AA QB. He wasn't making the arguement that it should of though. Just that it presently does. Not in the context of him losing the NE job. Just how Cam is overall viewed by the masses. 4. Vaccination. Cam's dad says he is vaccination hesitant. But doesn't want to get into all that. Cam just says he doesn't think vaccination was a factor. Cam says NE greenlighted his doctor appointment. He followed all the rules. He did imply he felt a little sabotaged there. But he followed all the NE guidance. 5. Pops says Mac exceeded his expectations. But doesn't think he beat Cam. Both implied either one of them was going to win with the Patriots this year. It is what it is. * he did have a noteworthy line about superheroes either die or live long enough to become the villain. He sometimes feels that is his world.

Sam, PJ, and the practice squad guy could all get hurt today. Cam has a 0% chance of returning here.

Cam sitting on a high school field with his dad interviewing him week 1...trying to argue why his NFL career isn't over. I love Cam. Tied with Luke as my favorite all time. But it's done for all practical purposes. And he is still probably one of the best 32 today. But there simply isn't a fit for Cam. He has to be one of the 32 starters. It just doesn't work any other way. He can't be a backup. And no team wants to go the Cam starter route it appears. Call it a day boss.

there aren’t a lot of QBs growing on trees. Each offseason is a different beast. and just bringing in guys that should be a backup to start for a year isn’t a position I think Rhule can keep repeating for a 3rd straight year (if that is Sam). so it could be just keep the good guy to be a body while you “search” for something with more potential than continuing to repeat the pattern. And just because you want someone in the draft doesn’t mean the opportunity will be there…..especially if you win 7-9 games This was an abnormal draft in terms QBs available to gamble on

I mean I said he was throwing his coaches under the bus publicly. Call it what you want. But a high end backup isn’t going to stay over employed long doing that. Sam will be easier to hang onto if he is no more productive than Teddy. NFL is straight up business. NFL has no problem with shitty teammates overall. Bad PR is bad PR. And coaches probably get all sorts of poo way worse than what Teddy said to their face….but behind closed doors. And the coaches after that started doing the same thing back at Teddy….in the public. the point being, I am not convinced Rhule will move on quick from Sam if he is simply the same dude he was in NY. Which while bad wasn’t some Jimmy Clausen type poo. Jets always had a punchers chance with Darnold.

I think it is a fairly noteworthy point that Teddy started throwing a green staff under the bus publicly….and they essentially returned the favor. So keeping became not an option. Darnold will say the right things.

I’m not certain. Check the OL situation. Heck, check the fact they brought in Darnold and only Darnold.

I think if Sam Darnold remains Sam Darnold….decent odds we get stuck with him for a bit. worst case IMO is Sam just remains Sam. Good and bad. We get to about 8 wins. We have no options and they rework his deal

I don't know if I agree. Watson went to a horrible Texans org. It didn't matter. Horrible OL. Bad coaching. Bad management. I mean, he is Mahomes to the Bears (but worse). Watson was going to be special no matter where he went. That's just what he was.

well, that was a bad OL vs a great defensive front. And Mahomes was pulling off some matrix stuff in that game......and his receivers let him down. Lot of big drops in that game after he pulled off some absurd stuff. I mean, the Bears haven't had a losing season over the last 3 years. I would wager if they wouldn't of sucked with Mahomes. overall I do agree with your point though. Most folks are not Mahomes. Even most really good QBs.

Cam came into an offense that featured established pro bowlers/life long Panther leaders on the OL and WR spot. I don't think it was a knock on Cam's leadership at the time. Just like it wasn't a knock on Kalil for never jumping Gross/Smith until Ron altered the captain criteria.

In a world where our starters were going up against against backups......and Sam wasn't able to get anything going until the 2 minute drive as the half was about to end.

worth noting Chase and Sewell both missed the 2020 season. So in addition to the jump to the NFL they haven't played football in a long time.

I think Ron appointed Captains some years. There isn't a set in stone way of doing it.

I can't pull for the Brady Bucs to win. Fug ceding the division to them. Brady hate + Tampa hate exceeds Cowboy hate. Go Cowboys.

Yeah, 7 to 9 wins is my window. Ball bounces our way a little then we get to 9. It doesn’t, I think the floor with some adversity is about 7. Too much talent not to get to 7. OL too weak IMO to get much further than 9.

I mean, there are you tube videos up featuring all his INTs from every season. It's a tough sell for someone to watch them....and for you to then claim they were largely great defensive plays and bad breaks. Sam Darnold made some really terrible decisions about what to do with the football in NY. The type stuff a NFL QBs just shouldn't do. Which is the knock on Sam. Not his physical talent.

boxing died. it's now you tubers and fake fights featuring 60 year olds.

7 to 9 wins. triple stamp it, no erasies, touch blue make it true.

He is a 30 year old RB (technically 29). He basically is right on schedule. Even if he was younger, he doesn't seem like a fit for Baltimore.

I think there is a 0% chance CMC does it. His load is going to be too crazy as is. Maybe DJ if they have zero faith in anyone else.

CMC and DJ Moore have returned punts in the NFL. Both returned some in college too. so by default, they just listed guys on the roster who have IMO. I don’t think it means anything. I think they will likely throw someone to the wolves that has been working on it in camp if I had to guess. Which I hate. Because PR is a weird thing. Especially in a real game. I don’t even care about return yards. Just want it fielded cleanly.
