"Every conceivable metric" - except the ones from this season.

Yeah, so let's take his career year and extrapolate then.

He had a 58% completion percentage, 1,100 yards, 7 touchdowns, 3 interceptions, and 6 fumbles in 6 games.

So, Sam would have 3238 Yards, 20 touchdowns, 9 interceptions, 17 fumbles in the now 17 game season.

Keep digging holes boys.

Uhh....those numbers (aside from the fumbles) aren't too bad.  

I don't think this is helping your argument much.

3238 Yards - 15th in the NFL

20 Pass TDs - 15th in the NFL

9 INTs - Tied at 15th worst in the NFL

YARN | I do not think it means what you think it means ...

Seems a bit weird to throw in fumbles versus fumbles lost and exclude rushing TDs.  He's more like 9 TDs, 5 turnovers, 1250 total yards in 6 games. Still hardly impressive.

He's good for 3-4 "decent" games, at a backup level, before he falls flat on his face it seems. I guess that is why backups are backups and not starters.

Time to move on. Maybe he'll find success elsewhere. Maybe he'll be out of the league in a few years. But unless he's coming back for pennies as a backup / bridge for 4 weeks until we put our new rookie QB out there, I don't want him on the team.

And before yesterday he had a string of games that made him one of the best QBs in the league. People have bad games. He should not be our starter ... but damn, some of you just can't let it go. It's like you're trying to prove Sam is bad. We know he is. Or, you want to stand on your soap box and go, SEE I TOLD YOU! But you're speaking to like ... 1-3 guys on here lol.

 

There are ppl that would be ok with Sam as a bridge. In the right circumstances. But as a starter? Not many want to hitch their wagon to that particular choice.

It almost seems like they are mad that he didn't just suck from the get-go as soon as he started his first game back from injury so the narrative can be resumed.

I couldn't watch yesterday. Did they win because of Sam, in spite of Sam, or a little bit of both at various times?

Both.  

Sam stunk but there were hardly any open receivers to throw to and he forced a couple which resulted (obviously) in INTs.  

Then, the Saints missed a FG late (some say they deliberately "tanked it" though I don't believe that as they are grown men trying to win a football game, too), Sam had a key Scramble/Run for a first down followed 2 plays later by a key throw to TMJ to set up the game-winner.

He played right around middle of the pack for starting QBs in the league during his 6 game stretch. Fortunately, we might be able to sign him to a cheap, back up level contract.

Nah.  He's not being brought back.

mav said so, so that's that. 

So what else is on TV?  *click*

If Darnold had even had something close to a decent game yesterday I'd be more on board with that, but man, I just don't see the point. There are going to be other backups that have higher ceilings, lots of journeyman vets that could start the entire year without looking like garbage while AR or Levis develops behind them, etc.

      Gameday Thread: KC-CAR

      By strato · Posted

      He made some excellent throws but he always has made some excellent throws here and there. I don't know what to think, which is what I was apprehensive about. Is he going to have a decent downfield game? Because okay Legette dropped one, but someone was giving stats prior to the bye or during it where he had two downfield completions and one of them was the jump ball that is just launched and fingers are crossed that our guy comes down with it, and yesterday we saw that again. The Russell Wilson school of downfield passing.  I don't feel like that is sustainable, but at the same time you have to do Something to make the defense understand they have to defend that downfield throws. Like i said, confused.  I guess I'm going to review the game for myself and look closely at his mechanics and stuff because if he actually fixed that stuff it explains the better throws. And that has been my biggest objection, or what I see as the thing that makes or breaks his chances, that unorthodox dropback and tippy toe action and not having his feet set which limits velocity etc etc.

      Crazy stat

      By Manna · Posted

      The negative Nancy in me (or objective?) says that they had a bye week to prepare for the Chiefs. However, it’s one thing to have a good plan and it’s another to actually execute it. For all the flack he’s received (from me as well), Bryce seemingly has put his head down and worked his tail off and his play is giving me hope. The first 18-game Bryce showed no progression whatsoever. He gets benched, comes back, and has shown steady progress every week he has started. I think I’m starting to see what the Bryce lovers and unconditional defenders were saying all along, and I hope he can show that on a regular basis for the sake of our QB1 position.

      Some Thoughts on Our Remaining Games

      Yeah, we could still very well end up 4-13 with the 2nd pick.   I think LVR has the inside track for 1, with only a JAX team as a team on docket that could be beatable.
