Saints got a great deal and Jameis got a year to work behind legends like Brees and Payton. Win/Win. In NY he may of been too good to be a backup if that makes sense.

We are 0-6 when Darnold doesn’t play. And 11-15 with him starting. Not great but still a major drop off. Hopefully Flacco doesn’t see the field, but if he does, he’s better then what we’ve had. This is what I keep trying to tell people. The Jets are different football team with Darnold than without, especially last year. The Jets were quietly really good when he came back. The drop-off was that steep. Flacco will at least give you something as an insurance policy. I love the signing, honestly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course he would be a better option than Flacco for a backup, but that's not what Cam wants I'm sure. Cam's best route at this point is to wait for someone to get hurt. One QB always gets hurt in the pre-season, or something happens. When that happens, Cam now has a starting job, and he's likely got enough left that the team signing him is still going to have playoff aspirations, instead of looking at a losing season with the backup. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BroncosFan2010 Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 He isnt just bad, alot of bad QB's can be good locker room presences as backup QBs. But last season once he was injured he basically quit on the team as a whole. He wasnt involved in any sort of mentor type relation with Lock. He was a sulking black hole who exuded nothing but negative energy. The idea that being a 10+ year veteran guarantees your a good backup QB is nuts. He doesnt just suck on the field, he sucks off it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eh...good teams don't lose to JAX, Miami and Cincy, then barely beat the 2nd and 3rd stringers of Buffalo. This all occurred with Darnold at the helm.
