I may be alone in my thinking, but if another team has a quarterback go down in trading camp I can see Darnold being moved. This may seem unlikely, Carolina would have to take back a lot of salary. Also, is Sam considered so damaged no one would come calling? I know the “competition in training camp” is being talked up, but I believe Mayfield was brought in to be the starter. 

I'd think a team like the Texans or Seattle would have to trade for Sam if one of their QB's had a serious injury. Though there are probably better 3rd string backups floating around the league for cheaper.

Training camp for Baker will be very rocky. Dude has like 3 weeks to learn the playbook.  However by pre-season game 3, he starts looking like the starter and gets the nod week 1.  

If they look anywhere close to equal by end of pre-season, 100% Baker starts. 

Sam will look "decent" in pre-season and will be traded by week 3 to an team with QB injuries, even if it is to be backup.  

Corral looks like a rookie. Will play good against 3rd stringers in pre-season 4th quarters.  Huddle will say he would be the starter. 

PJ gonna be working at Bojangles.

Don't discount Darnold.  I know everyone wants him gone and I'm one of these people, but he knows the offense better and typically practices well.  Plus, he started off last year playing very well until he got injured.  This fanbase will implode if Darnold starts the season and it wouldn't surprise me.

Oh please Sam, ball out and make them look more stupid than they already are getting clowned for being.

I believe he means putting Corral on the practice squad.  If you want to put a player on the PS, first you have to subject them to the waiver process.  Then, if another team signs said player, I believe they have to keep them on the 53 man roster. 

Yeah, I knew that, and I think that's just as crazy of a thinking that we'd cut him at all. We didn't invest a third round pick on Corral (particularly when picks were scarce, and when they purportedly had a first round grade on him) to risk him on waivers in any capacity. Anyone that thinks otherwise is basically low-key delusional.

We will run with 3 QBs before we put Corral on the Practice Squad.  I could see him being inactive for some games.  PJ Walker should be gone unless we plan on unloading Darnold somehow.  I could see us trading Darnold for pennies while eating most of his salary and using PJ as Baker's backup until Corral is ready.

He will end up on injured reserve with an [insert fake injury here].

Baker and Darnold have a fierce "competition" and both look sharp in the up tempo WC offense. 

Darnold starts preseason week 1 but it looks an awful lot like Cam/Mac Jones in NE last year - couple series, couple passes but mostly some run plays - Baker comes in and the playbook opens up a bit for  more passing. Team will claim its all about helping Baker get that in game timing down but its still a competition.

Baker starts the second and by the third preseason game has taken all the first team reps, Darnold looks about as good as Will Grier did facing 2nd/3rd unit guys and we flip him to Seattle where he has the USC connection with Pete Carroll and goes back to the West Coast for a 5th/6th and eat half his salary. Roll with Baker/MC and a practice squad QB into the regular season. 

This is Bakers team now barring any injuries. First offer they get to ship Sam out they'll take it.

      We looked like a competent NFL team PIE thread

      By Prowler2k18 · Posted

      We could easily pick apart yesterday’s game: dropped passes, blown coverages, bad tackling and red zone issues to name a few. But it was clear that this wasn’t the same team from earlier in the season. They fought back and hung with the champs until the end. That’s what I was excited to see and it gives me hope that we’re on the right track.

      Bryce developing before our eyes

      By Pejorative Miscreant · Posted

      I think BY played well today and exceeded expectations. I will temper future expectations as he has to string together many games of consistent quality. One game doesn’t convince me that he is a franchise QB or even a guy you want to stick with for another season. One game doesn’t erase all the negative play and limitations from the past couple of years. I hope he balls out and continues to get better but for me the verdict is still out   That said, I think he gave the team and fans hope yesterday which is a lot more than what we had when we woke up Sunday morning.

      Bryce Young - Good and Bad, what say you?

      By Ricky Prickles · Posted

      He was vastly improved today and we need to see more of Bryce the rest of the season to continue evaluate him in order to decide what the heck to do with him at the end of the season. He must play at least like this and improve more from here the rest of the season in order for me to keep him. No more 123 yard passing games and want to see at least this output weekly from him. If this is Bruce improving slowly over time then Canales is even better with developing QB's than I thought he was but still too early to tell and we need to see him the rest of the way as he has at very least earned back the starting gig moving forward.
