Yep.

Based on what I've been told by several huddlers before, this is a clear sign that the staff doesn't really believe in Sam Darnold and they only picked him up just in case they couldn't get someone better 😐

Clearly this is competition for Darnold and not about Walker/Grier/Stevens, they are all safe.  I mean, who would want that stable of QBs waiting in the wings???

How about Jamie Newman? Didn't you say there was no way he went later than the 5th round?

Pretty sure he's being sarcastic.

For the record though, Newman is an Eagle.

He is. I was making fun of him for swearing last week that Newman couldn't fall past the 5th round.

Ah.

Wasn't part of that convo, but I wasn't a big believer in Newman either. He had an awful Senior Bowl then skipped out on Georgia's pro day.

I think this guy is meant as a backup to darnold.

the sandlot style of play is very similar, though darnold has a bigger arm.

Nope, I don't want him either.  This QB class was very top heavy as you can see by the number of QBs drafted after the 2nd round. 

Oh yeah, I didn't bat .1000 in the draft, awe shucks.

I realize now my sarcasm wasn't obvious enough.  I'll have to work on that....must be losing my touch. 🙂 Clearly this is about finding a #2 or #3 QB as Walker/Grier/Stevens is about as weak of a reserve QB corps as there is in the League.

      Dan Morgan has the chance to do the funniest thing

      I don't think Rodgers but probably not for the political reasons I bet a lot of posters are motivated by. I just think he is not the QB for the Panthers, at all.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      It wasn't great but  the 2022 NYG won 9 of 16 games plus a playoff game. He had a 92.5 passer rating. 15 pass TDs 3200 yards, 7 rushing TD, 700 yards 6 fumbles 3 lost.  His first season he had 18 fumbles lost 11. Wow.  Anyhow he had problems in 2023 with injuries and didn't win poo before tearing his ACL. This year, no Barkley, not good, but you know.... these ACLs take a while and it was right and he throws right so pushes off of it.  I agree it doesn't hurt to let that guy compete cheap. You don't hand him the job like with Bryce or NYG with him.  When I look at what we have been saddled with, he doesn't look worse and has the physical advantage. So I don't get the umbrage given our situation. This "No we won't settle for anything less that the best" attitude and then taking Bryce Young was pathetic and I think that attitude brought us to where we are. That's where that poo gets you. Away from Mayfield, away from Darnold, even away from PJ - just to replace them with an inferior PJ.  At the same time I am not really advocating for the guy just looking at it objectively. It could be another guy with the same story. And yes the odds of him getting it are low but the numbers and performance from 2022 are for sure better than we see with Bryce even after a season of major propping him up with better players around him. Take a look don't take a look he fails or he doesn't fail...   to instead sit here and be happier with what we have is bullshit.
