Nah.  He's not being brought back.

mav said so, so that's that. 

So what else is on TV?  *click*

Eh, why bother? We know what we're getting, even at it's best.  he probably has a better shot himself elsewhere of earning a starting gig, and for us, he'd know he really isn't gonna have a shot at anything long term even if we do bring him back.

Also I clearly said it was my opinion/what I wanted, not what I predict the team will do. I'm not stupid enough to try to predict what NFL people do, lol

lol that people actually fell for darnolds decent start once again

way more "decent" than last year, though.  🤨

He didn't have CMC as a crutch this time.

And took better care of the football (aside from this past game where nothing was on the line except winning the final game of a season).

eh. 

I look at it as 4-2 as a BACKUP which isn't bad.

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.

 

Have you seen the list of available QBs for next year? It's slim pickings.

Please name a few of the backup QBs with higher ceilings than 25 y.o. Darnold. I can't think of many.

I'm kind of "worried" when Fitts said he was "going for it" in his presser.

I hope he doesn't make stupid decisions.

And I hope we hire the RIGHT coach this time.

Here's a few that either were or will be available as FAs and likely have a future as a backup or bridge QB (not all are available, but point remains)

Gardner Minshew

Mitch Trubisky

Teddy motherfuging Bridgewater LOL

Mike White

Andy Dalton

Jacoby Brissett

Then current starters that were backups/likely will be backups :

Taylor Heinicke

Daniel Jones

Then we've got the starters-as-bridges, like Jimmy G...

https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/free-agents/quarterback/?ref=trending-pages

The reality is, Darnold has put together a downright atrocious career his first four years. He had a "meh" but fine year this year as a backup.

There's a dozen free agents that are better than Sam available as a temporary or (shudder) long term solution.

Out of all those players, how many are getting re-signed by their current team?

I can see Lamar being re-signed.

Someone here once mentioned Brisset being intriguing...

Minshew sucks but he's not Sam Darnold to some here so he automatically is the greatest thing since sliced bread.

And how many of those would you realistically be willing to bring in as a starter?

 

I'd take Minshew. 

 

As an aside; I can't even fathom that Chad Henne is still in the league. That boggles the mind.

I absolutely do not love Minshew but it is hard to argue that he wouldn't be an upgrade over Sammy D. In 33 fewer starts, he's scored only 11 fewer TDs. His career int % is EXTREMELY low, lower than Sam's is in his limited work this year. I'm not saying he's a long term answer, but as a backup? yeah, an upgrade.

      Gameday Thread: KC-CAR

      By mav1234 · Posted

      KC has a very good defense this year. It is 5th overall. Yes, still worse than last year, but their offense is considerably worse. Their passing D may be their "weakness" but they still allow fewer than 20 ppg. BY completed several deep passes yesterday, and he was able to threaten downfield in ways he didn't seem capable of before the benching. I'm not necessarily worried about his ability to connect deep anymore. What to me was impressive was that he did all this without a run game. We used the pass to set up what little running success we had. Wild.

      Bryce developing before our eyes

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Solid and fair assessment.   I will say, one of the big things I noticed yesterday was that he wasn't shy to step up into the pocket in the face of pressure.  He's trusting the IOL.  And they took care of Chris Jones yesterday.  We had clean pockets but also good success rate vs. pressure which just hasn't been the case with Bryce.   If he has more confidence the OL gets it done and he can navigate and step up for throws, that's huge.  It's one of the biggest things that's held him back.  He was previously bailing quickly and just too easily throwing away or making dead plays.     He was finding his 2nd to 3rd reads within structure/without bailing in the pocket.  That was nice to see, as much concern I have with him.  And the overall limitations will always be there. Time to back it up this week against the Bucs.

      Some Thoughts on Our Remaining Games

      By 45catfan · Posted

      Suddenly the Cowgirls look like our best chance for a win remaining. I think the Bucs are playing better than the Falcons of late.  Our lone game versus the dirty birds is in the ATL where we always struggle.  The Cardinals are marginally better than I thought they would be. We are not beating the Eagles, they are starting to roll. I'm saying two at most, next week at home versus the Bucs and the Cowgirls.
