GoBills808 Posted December 5, 2021 Share Posted December 5, 2021 7 minutes ago, GunnerBill said: I agree he is not the only issue but he was definitely an issue. He has been a bit of a disaster in the NFL. They didn't give Darnold a big contract btw. They traded a 2nd and a 4th for him and they did pick up the 5th year option, but they are not tied to him beyond next year. No thanks. They’re into him for $19M to keep the bench warm next year plus a 2nd round pick when they could have gotten him for the vet minimum 😂😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for what they gave up to give him... it's a lot. Who knows who they were bidding against. Apparently Brady was a big voice on moving off Bridgewater and bringing another vet in as well though. Bridgewater is the perfect bridge guy. They should have drafted a Quarterback for my money last April and held onto Teddy another year. I am surprised how poor they have been though. I like their weapons and I like some of their pieces on defense. Joe Brady did look in way over his head. The Head Coach increasingly looks the same.

frostbitmic Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 A GM giving you Sam Darnold and then Cam Newton doesn't scream job security. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Darnold's 5th year is only guaranteed for injury. They can cut ties with him at the end of the season with no further impact.

That rule changed with the new CBA. 5th year options are guaranteed as soon as they are signed now. 2 minutes ago, Solomon Grundy said: I was thinking Cincinnati with Burrow The Head Coach in Cincy calls the plays. He isn't giving that up to a guy who has failed so dismally in the league. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCofNC Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 I don’t know how anybody in that front office has a job. Paying Bridgewater to play in Denver, getting Darnold in and signing the 5th year option and now bringing Cam back. WTF. The kid from the CFL/XFL whatever league it was, looks like the best QB you have had in 2 years and you blame the OC? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For an analogy, you know Jacksonville is a Lada dealership, and Houston is an American Motors dealership. Carolina is Ford or GM, so you expect it to show some level of competency. 😁 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Houston can claim title to this and they have no idea how to get our of the hole they dug for themselves. They can barely sell tickets now, a franchise that sold out every single game up until this year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they can hit on a few draft picks, they could be a decent team in a few years. Hopefully Campbell is more McDermott than Gailey for them 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Houston is just a weird situation. they went all on some bad moves and even with that, if Watson wasn't an A-hole (for multiple reasons) that team is in the thick of the playoff hunt. Cully is a sacrificial lamb and they hit a hard reset this year. Jacksonville, depending on how you feel about Urban Meyer, has some good pieces in place. Carolina gave an unproven coach a crazy contract, dumped newton, to give bridgewater a ton a money, to pay him to play for Denver, to trade for one of the worst starters in the leagues the last few years, to dumping him to resign Newton for 4.5 Mil guaranteed for the balance of the season (who were they bidding against?) and now they've fired their OC, who according to Bridgewater, didnt have the team practice the 2 min drill last year! https://www.nfl.com/news/teddy-bridgewater-finds-fault-with-how-joe-brady-panthers-practiced That team has no direction, a ton of sunk money at the QB position (they owe Darnold 19 million next year) and they have a pick in nowheres land in the draft order. They are going to roll out the corpse of Cam next year, hoping to sell tickets and fire Rhule at the end of next season. Meanwhile, Ron Rivera is making Taylor Heineke a playoff QB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
