So... about kicker and a third QB.

[Proudiddy]

Yikes.

I hate to speculate, but it's the internet, so I will...  Zane's injury did not look like a strain.  His reaction was severe and immediate, so I hope it's not a tear, but at the least it looks like a very severe strain and he'll be out a good while.

I suspect Darnold had a fracture, but if it's a high sprain, he'll also be out 4-6 weeks minimum.  Regardless, hate to see a guy get injured, but Sam was not helpful even if healthy and should've been cut regardless.  I don't like that he was injured, buy I like that it forces the staff to look elsewhere because Sam was wasted reps and a roster spot, period.  I'd like to see us bring in a young developmental prospect if one becomes available, or just a trusty old vet in the mold of a Case Keenum-type of guy.

Gonna be an interesting couple of weeks...  and honestly, kicker is a much scarier situation than QB right now.  I like the suggestion some made of the young guy from here that the Steelers just cut.  I also am curious where the ECU guy from the Ravens preseason last year is?  The Canadian guy with the funny name last season seemed solid as well.

All I know is, things just got real.  Real fast.

Cut Darnold. Resign Cam Newton.

[Mr. Scot]

"What do you want to see tonight?"

"No injuries!"

 

 

 

Sh-t

No to signing cam. It would be a huge distraction and one bad baker game would turn us into a media circus

Jake Verity was waived by the Colts and just signed with the Jaguars… today, I believe.  Bad timing.  Great kicker.

[Panthera onca]

Sciba would be a great pickup at kicker. Santoso is available as well. We do need a steady vet at backup QB and pray that Baker can stay healthy.

Jags actually have two kickers right now, I think.

[jb2288]

Why would we get another QB? If Baker goes down the season is lost I don’t see any reason to waste more money on the QB room. Tons of teams only carry 2 as well

There's an oft posted picture on here related to that

Cam would be a GREAT pick up for us ... four years ago.

I hate preseason games. Such an unnecessary risk to the health of players.
