Would Ya? Sam Darnold Edition?

[GunnerBill]

I should remind folks at this juncture that the only other of the 2018 QB class that the Bills were high on was indeed Sam Darnold. 

 

I don't see a way for it to happen this year but beyond that? Definite possibility.

For clarity, this is based off absolutely nothing besides their known relationship and assumed cuts.

 

like every other thread that asked about the backup QB

 

Emphatically  no

Draft talk is often just that

This is sourced talk though. By draft day it was Allen and Darnold. If the Bills hadn't been able to secure either they were moving back.

[TBBills]

He would need to be extremely cheap, in the end it doesn't matter who the backup QB is though.  

 

They will most likely draft one to be the backup so keep the cap down.

I can hardly wait for the preseason game where Darnold has a good couple of quarters, and the board erupts into 'Darnold as #1 QB' threads. 🙄

I'll hang up and listen.  Never underestimate the stupidity of people in large groups. 😁

Thar would never happen unless they are just trolling.

If the "Commadors" don't tender Kyle Allen (I think they will, though) I'd rather bring him in then Darnold. Kyle Allen is also pretty good friends with Josh (and Christian Kirk, for those that want him).

Who the ***** cares about who Josh is friends with lol. That should never be a factor.

Basically, the only reason Darnold is mentioned is because he's Josh's buddy. So if that's the topic...I'd take Kyle Allen.

 

Real life relationships do in fact matter, though. Otherwise Tanner Gentry wouldn't last this long on the practice squad😂😂

[TBBills]

Yea I heard Josh is now friends with Patrick Mahomes, I wonder if he will be Josh's backup... you know friend connection.

There will be better options for backup QB.  Situation is the same as last year, Bills will want an experienced QB who can win a game or two if needed.  Fitz and Dalton are better options than Darnold imo

Fitz is a worse option actually, he should be the last player you want on your team. Unless you don't have a QB.

 

People are in love with Fitz for one reason and it's not the reason to want him as a backup QB.

This is the "fun" time of year where everyone is an option. There are going to be a LOT of salty people when QB room next year is Josh Allen->Matt Barkley->Late day 3 rookie draft picks.

Couldn't Darnold negotiate with them to release him if he didn't get paid....The Panthers will take a 18M Cap hit...but won't pay 18M tp him and Darnold will get his freedom.  Of course, Darnold could collect the 18M and then walk in FA....

 

Coming here as a backup to JA, I don't see how Darnold will be willing to give up 18M.

I don’t think the NFLPA would let Sam do that.

The connection is a small part of it.  We will need a backup and Darnold was the 3rd overall pick.  
 

I didn’t realize his option was picked up and guaranteed, so this year is out

[RunTheBall]

It’s gonna be FitzMagic

 

You know it.

 

I know it.

 

The Fitz curse will be broken, we win the SB, all will be right in the world.

 

 

[Freddie's Dead]

Usually when a guy says "Would ya?", Sam Darnold doesn't come to mind.

Why they picked up the 5th year option in the first place is beyond me.

According to who? Where is Trubisky going to go? He wasn't that highly valued leaving Chicago and he has no tape from 2021 to show he is any better or worse.
