I think they offer him a Geno Smith type contract, 3 yrs for $75M. Very similar situations, great weapons in place, history of not meeting expectations, replacing a very good QB. I think Geno's 2022 and Sam's 2024 are in the same ballpark.
Posted response above he is doing much better than expected.I would be interested in what your thoughts are now? Darnold looks like a legit MVP candidate right now.no trust in Sam.. Tannehill is probably the only option to avoid a 5-12 season at best...
he has luck on his side to avoid the turn overs he is known for.
You don't let him walk but you also don't sell the farm to keep him. You make him a competitive offer for the market for a 2 yr deal and then you go into next year the same way you went into this year. With Darnold the presumed starter and McCarthy trying to earn the spot. This was a lost year for McCarthy so next year is somewhat like his rookie year (with a little added bonus of some NFL experience from this year). Then see how they compete.
So no fear with that 2nd half collapse last week vs the Packers?
not really. it is the NFL so who knows, but I just see a very long day for Rodgers who is having trouble moving the ball on far lesser teams.
I am not sure about conplete. They could use some more corners. But yes they have played much better than expected.
This is where I'm at. The bone head try to catch the punt near the end of the first half gave life to a lifeless team and crowd.
no one would have thought that possible at the start of the season.
Losing Jones was a big hit to the offense. Ty Chandler is not very good.5-0
At the same time, Kevin continues to get out coached in the 2 half.
Other Teams go into halftime and adjust the game plan based on what's happening.
Yet Kevin seems to stick to what got them the lead and it is going to cost the team soon.
During the steak, Sam has had at least 2 int's per game dropped by defensive players.
He was dam lucky to not get intercepted in the end zone, which would have cost them a score, and possibly the game.
Back to Kevin.. Nearing the end of the 2nd quarter, up by 17.. 4th and 2..
Does he run.. No..
Does he go for a short pass to get the first down? Nope.
He calls for a deep out route, thus giving the Jets the ball in great field position, with them not needing to use a timeout.
Of course the Jets drive down and get a TD to end the half, and momentum.
Thank god for the D coming through when needed!
On to the bye, rest up then here comes the Lions.
I don't know if it's KOC or Darnold, but they seemingly refuse to take five-yard completions. Just deep ball after deep ball. Lucky they got bailed out by the officials so often today.5-0

He's next man up. Chandler had a couple of big games last year, including 23-132, 10-72, and 12-69 with multiple catches in each game.
Last year was “next man up” and it was horrible. Jones has made KOCs offense look complete.
Feel a little vindicated by this move and would have reached out to Akers in the off-season. Who knows maybe he did. However, I understand that you want to fill depth at other positions first. Better late than never.
DET OC Ben Johnson hopefully gave McVay his notes. That guy knows what he is doing.
everyone abandoned ship
I would keep Seibert. He is tearing it up and getting lots of chances. Although, Reichard has been solid and past his bye so there is that. They are kickers. Flip a coin.
Yeah, Seibert and Reichard are my top two kicker "targets" right now in leagues where I'm streaming kickers (which is a bunch). Mainly because I try to get kickers who not only have a high accuracy percentage, but also are on teams who get lots of scoring chances. I lean ever so slightly towards Reichard over Seibert right now for three reasons.... One, the bye is behind MIN. Two, they play indoors (and weather does become more of a factor as the season progresses). Three, Daniels is dinged up, and as good as Mariota looked in a small sample size last week, it is enough of a concern to help me lean slightly in the direction of the MIN kicker.
This is why I never even thought about utilizing Bates.
Yeah, it drops him down some for me, but not totally out of the conversation. Obviously, it depends on league size and format. In leagues where half of the kickers are on the waiver wire, you can probably find a better option than Bates. In leagues where there's maybe a few less kickers available, or where it costs something to add/drop each time, I can live with him over some other options.
Agreed. The defensive penalties on 3rd and long were mind-blowing. At least three ticky-tack ones in the first half. Not that they were bad calls. They were just unnecessary by the defense. Not paying attention. And all of those penalties, if not committed, would have likely resulted in punts by the Rams. No situational awareness. I don't understand how a D-lineman can put his hand on/under the facemask of the O-Lineman and not realize that that's going to get called. For a second, maybe. But, then, you realize and position your hand elsewhere, no? Continuing to use leverage and shove even further into his chin/neck area is an easy call. WTF.
The D is very obviously missing Cashman right now. Not only was he the one calling plays and audibles the first 5 weeks, he's also miles better than Pace in pass defense. Pace was sitting out on obvious passing downs with Metellus coming in for those when Cashman was playing and the difference is quite stark. Last two weeks Matellus and Pace have played almost every down and the middle of our D has been exploitable on passing downs.
Take...a...knee.
If you want to kill the clock, simply take a knee. They weren’t throwing the ball there or trying to score. They turned around and ran a HB dive.
You’re right. Have fun.
That is what concerned me. Last two weeks it seems the other team can move at will. It concerned me back during the Houston game when they gave up two drives of over 90 yards, but wrote it off as crap happens.
| TEAM | QB | Games | YR |
| NYG | Jones | 68 | 6 |
| 49ers | Purdy | 33 | 3 |
| HOUS | Stroud | 23 | 2 |
| GB | Love | 33 | 4 |
| NY J | Rodgers | 239 | 20 |
| DET | Goff | 124 | 9 |
| LAR | Stafford | 124 | 16 |
Chart seems off. Or have Stafford and Goff really played in the same amount of games?
OOPS... Stafford should be 213 games played. He has missed almost 4 seasons in his career.
