Best hope for Sam is to be picked up by KC for their practice squad 3rd string QB and sit for a year or two.  Short of that he'll probably wash out of the NFL in the next year or so.

Don't underestimate the desperation of NFL teams looking for anything resembling QB help.

And Sam is not Practice Squad fodder like PJ.  

He'll end up on some team as their backup.

Just not sure if it will be ours again (you never know with Tepper and Fitterer)....

Chances are good that Sam will end up someone's #2.

QB purgatory. This is just where we are, along with plenty of other franchises. There's truly no way out that I can find right now. The Commanders have been here for decades. Had we lost a few more games there was potentially a chance we could have secured Stroud or Young, but I just don't see it now. I do think the Bears will come off that pick, but not all the way down to 9 when they can probably settle somewhere else in the top 5 and come away with a defensive centerpiece like Carter or Anderson. 

I predict we maybe bring Sam back, as well as sign someone like Minshew/Garoppolo this offseason while trying to convince ourselves this time it will be different. But it won't. Depressing days.

I’d like to see what him and wilks could do with an upgrade at free safety, we should be in position to take a really excellent one and get over the hump and finally get that 8th win

How does that correlate to offense at all

No reason Sam can’t be signed back up money and play until he shits the bed 5 games in and we can play the rookie we trade up for and be a good back up for years to come.

It’s comical to me most Sam haters who can’t even see he is a decent back up thought PJ was better and even starter material lmao

Today, the WRs were not open.  Makes the qb look bad---not defending Sam, but I am defending Sam.

Had he been able to step up on that last throw to DJ that got picked it would have been a TD. Everyone here would be singing his praises.

Context is important.

      Crazy stat

      By Luuuuuuuuuuke59 · Posted

      The bottom lines to me are that a) we played well enough to beat the best team in the league and b) Bryce Young is growing into a bridge QB role (his ceiling) for us. As much as I don't want BY around after the season, it seems DC can still build the O with a game manager at QB for now. Best case scanario, we can build the D through the draft this year and take a QB we have conviction outside the 1st this or next draft. If BY keeps improving, we are going to win a couple more games this year.

      Bryce developing before our eyes

      By *FreeFua* · Posted

      Bryce has been a completely different QB since coming back. That started in Denver where it was obviously he was playing a lot more loose and willing to push the ball downfield  Bryce continues to build off of the previous weeks performance and that’s what you want to see Bryce has been making some real good anticipation throws. Reading defenses well. Pushing the ball downfield (7 throws of 20+ air yards yesterday. 8 if you want to include PI to Thielen). The deep ball accuracy has been there. Some of Young’s best throws yesterday were incompletions. Sideline balls to XL and Moore both should’ve been caught. RZ dot to Tremble should’ve been caught. And another RZ ball to Moore that Young gave him a chance at. Bryce is starting to execute Canales offense and yesterday Canales finally opened it up a bit. Canales was to blame for the 126 passing yards in Germany as he played a more conservative game.  The next bit I’m looking for his for Young to be a bit more decisive with running the ball. Start putting that on film and it’ll help open things up a tad

      Gameday Thread: KC-CAR

      By 45catfan · Posted

      This KC team isn't the juggernaut it once was.  How many one score games have they won this season?  How many of those one score wins would probably have been loses if Mahomes wasn't the QB?  Their secondary is vulnerable and it was obvious today.  Grandpa Thielen was able to get open at will all game long. Bryce played well, but thinking this is the exact same KC defense Young was able to move the ball against as last year isn't going to compute.  Last year's KC defense was #2 overall.  They have regressed. I've said it before, Bryce can move the ball before the red zone, but once there, he struggles.  He is not a threat with his legs and the passing windows get much tighter.  He's not turning the ball over, so that is a great place to start and build upon.  I still question much better he can get.  Beyond a game manager?  I highly doubt it.
