How would you guys feel about keeping Darnold as a long term backup

I’m seeing a lot of talk about Corral being a back up and nothing more and my question is why not see if he can be a starter? What do we know? We know that a few draft experts had Corral rated as a first round draft pick, we know he has one of the quickest releases there is, we know that Fitt traded up to get him in the 3rd round and we know he has an excellent work ethic.

We are writing him off because he literally took what, 2 or three practice snaps all of training camp because of dumb azz Matt Rhule and as a result looked awful in very limited pre season play?! You don’t say..

Man, if PJ can turn into our Alex Smith. Teddy 2 Gloves with actual TD productions.

 

I don't usually tout my Michigan State guys, but if you can afford 10 bucks a month for NFL+. you can watch this kid every week. The closest thing to Barry I've ever seen. 

 

Kennith Walker III. RB for the Hawks. Watch him if you can. I promise it will be worth it.

 

7 yds per carry y'all

Let's say after Darnold collects this year's ridiculous paycheck, he likes Charlotte and wants to stick around. The Panthers go draft a QB in the top of the draft and keep Matt Corral as well. Darnold signs a reasonable backup salary contract. How would you feel about that QB room?

That's pending PJ doesn't have a crazy awesome end to the season which I'm sad to say probably isn't happening but we can all dream!

Corral or PJ. time to get rid of the Baker and Darnold stench.

Yeah, the odds of McAdoo being back are pretty slim.

I mean it's possible, but yeah. Don't know that I'd count on PJ sticking with a new staff either.

And if we're talking about a rookie and Corral, that's a crazy young QB room. Whoever's the vet QB of the bunch needs to be pretty solid.

I think PJ might actually be the highest possibility to return from the current five guys. Depends on how he performs the rest of the way but I don't think Darnold or Mayfield have any shot of returning. Eason isn't likely either, IMO. Corral depends on the new coach and their assessment. Fitt I would assume wants to keep him but maybe he was another Rhule choice, who knows? He definitely looked replaceable.

2023 is the perfect opportunity to reset the QB position and purge the roster of past sins.  Corral is the only QB we have under contract for 2023, and we should enter the offseason moving forward with as a given, barring PJ looking like Roger Staubach the rest of the way.

I don't see any rationale for bringing back Mayfield or Darnold.  What exactly do they offer?

Ideally, we would enter 2023 with Corral, a veteran, and a new QB from the draft.  Could that vet be PJ?  Maybe, but if so we need a magician as an QB coach, because that room essentially has two rookies thanks to Rhule's misuse/malpractice with Corral.

So, Darnold is not my first choice as a vet....or the second.....or the third.....

I feel the same way about McAdoo as OC, barring some huge epiphany with him.  Like the spirit of Don Coryell or Bill Walsh taking over his body.

      Serious Thoughts Fellas What numbers would Bryce..

      By Icege · Posted

      Agreed. A healthy bit from column A (stats) and column B (film) paints the most accurate picture, which is currently that Bryce is not performing up to the standard a 1st round QB (let alone drafted #1 overall) is expected to (statistically). When we dig into the film to see why, we see that while he's having his struggles (not stepping up in the pocket, bailing out early, hesitating on some throws, making occasional bad reads, etc) the team that surrounded him last season was simply awful. Bottom 5 defense, bottom 5 OL, bottom 5 weapons... but somehow one player has to overcome ALL of that in their rookie season? Yeesh... Taking this season into consideration, he started where he left off last season and was rightfully benched. Since starting again, the team has gotten on its first winning streak in a few years and he's made good plays to keep them in the game. Is he lighting it up? Nah... but he is beginning to show the reason so many draftniks had him as QB1a for his class. Re: what the team does next season... who friggin knows anymore at this point T_T. Resign Dalton? Sign Jones? Draft somebody in the mid-to-late rounds? Go with another UFA? Maybe grab an FA that can compete with Bryce for the starting position and draft a rookie to sit and develop? Might be best of both worlds for the team, but ugh... not a fun position to still be in with question marks throughout the position group.

      Yeah, this is basically the same as asking, "What if Bryce Young suddenly had Patrick Mahomes brain, how would he do?" It isn't happening. This ship is beyond sailed. Send him somewhere else, let us move on and him move on.

      Dalton is too close to starting right now. If it hadn't been for a car accident, he still would be. Switching Dalton for Jones does nothing except reduce the backup's age by a decade. One is in his NFL prime, the other is almost in his NFL grave. Not a horrible move if you're trying to improve the team. We've got to get better as a team and a lateral move like that would improve the team. The problem isn't that he's close to starting. The problem is we have a GM that signed off on BY and didn't bring in any serious QB competition for camp, a HC that said yeah, he's my guy until BY poo the bed so bad he couldn't start him, and an offense that's limited because BY can't make all the throws a normal NFL QB can.  The problem isn't that Jones could be an improvement as a backup QB. The problem is he could be better than our "franchise" QB.
