Yikes, it sucks to be Sam Darnold.

I still have a soft spot for this kid.  I don't know why, but I really want him to be successful.

Before the ***** hit the fan last week, Josh had been doing a really job of sliding or avoiding the big hit.  Pretty sure he won’t end up the same way as Cam.

 

Also, Cam is straight up trash and there’s a reason he’s still available in Week 10

trash?  He’s good

Desperate times call for desperate measures.  I bet he'll win a couple games for them this year and everyone will say "Oh what a great story", but there's NO WAY they can be looking at him other than a band aid for this season - maybe into next year as a veteran backup at best if he doesn't get cut before then.

I was not high on him when he was drafted, but I did think that he had the talent to be a good player in the league.

 

He was dealt a bad deal by being drafted by one of the worst run organizations in the league.

 

I figured that going to the Panthers would be good for him, and it seemed that way at the start. What happened?

Cam feeling smooth these days even with a negitive Total QBR projection!

Thr dude led the team in Redbone carries for three ish years. He unleashed some brutal hits and took as many.... what did everyone think would happen to his body? Was fun while it lasted, and I see this ending week 17 at the latest

I have been a Cam fan since day one of his NFL career.  That said, I can't believe he is still in demand.  He is absolute toast.

Is that cause you owned a hat shop?

McCaffrey getting hurt didn't help, but that's not all of it.  He looks lost out there.  Horrible.  I think turnovers were expected, but not at the rate he's thrown INTs.  And they're bad INTs ... mostly on him.  I have no idea, but his Jets sentence certainly couldn't have helped anything.

That's triple the guaranteed cash from his Patriot contract. Cam had some good leverage here.

You Can't Go Home Again

 

 

Only if he goes back to sliding and avoiding the big hit, instead of running to the center of the field and inviting it.

 

 

 

 

"The NFL let"

 

What about Cam's playing style invited teams to beat the crap out of him?  As you point out, he would fight for the extra yard and not slide or go down.

it never felt like they’d throw the same flags for him Though. Those two things can co-exist

Remember this?  https://www.theringer.com/nfl/2018/1/7/16861540/carolina-panthers-new-orleans-saints-cam-newton-concussion-protocol

 

"The NFL let" him go back in after just one play.  I also don't think he was ever afforded the same kind of referee "protection" that smaller, slighter, and something that rhymes with "slighter" quarterbacks seemed to get.

And that’s how bad Sam Darnold was.

Agreed. The NFL let teams beat the crap out of him. Allen needs to look at what happened to Cam and learn to slide more, and only fight for an extra yard when it truly matters. No matter how big and strong Allen is there is always a bigger faster guy that can land a shot on his arm or shoulder 

 

I'm actually impressed by how long Ben has lasted.  The bigger QBs, especially the ones who like to extend plays, take an absolute beating.

Nothing, he’s just not a good QB

Between him and Gronkowski, I think this is real time evidence that the cro magnon brain processed pain signals differently.
