True, I don't disagree with anything you said. I do agree strongly you don't pay for potential. That's true.You're only getting Sam Darnold and not the rest of the mess he had with the Jets
Put Darnold with this team or any other team with weapons and he would be legit.
Having said that I would not sign Darnold or any other "good" QB to the deals we have seen recently.
I think the days of paying average QBS are over after what happened to Goff and Wentz. Teams have realized how stupid it is to pay for potential.
When a generational QB is made to look like a bum in the SB by a superior team, it makes you think if its even worth it now a days to pay 35M or mire for one single player..
Heck, even Russell wilson hasn't sniffed a SB after his pay day.
Just out of curiosity would you, or anyone else on this board, take Cam Newton for 5 or 6 million for the next 3-5 years?
I've thought about that scenario. Cam isn't the greatest but he's an above average starter, well a starter, and saving 30-35 million at the QB position would be tempting. Especially if we drafted for his replacement. Just curious what others would think of that.
