Perhaps in the eyes of the new coaching staff?

Doesn’t matter if he is we can’t afford that.

I think he has a slightly better arm but I think “good” Darnold may be a very similar player to Carr career wise.

The only looked decent because of the offensive line that we had. Shows how much we need one

Are we getting Jefferson, Addison, Hockenson, that oline and their head coach with him?

Then probably not.

Arnold actually looks like he’s just figuring out the pro game and was good with Minnesota. I would rather a running threat at QB.

Just keep Carr and pray you draft well. Just see how 2025 goes. Way better QB class next year.

Hell No. Carr is actually a lot better than Darnold and it’s not particularly close.

Yes but we can't afford him. Should have waited for him after his SF rehab stint instead of signing Carr. Jameis to Darnold would have been much better decision making (with just as many playoff appearances while we waited)
