how can we not talk about family
when family's all that we got?
I don't get all the sadness about him being benched. if he was better earlier in the season, they'd still be in the playoff hunt, and so he'd still be playing. but he wasn't, so he isn't.

he's on the bench because he sucked so much last season, and was pretty bad this season, that based on his performance it's in the team's best interest not to trigger any more guarantees. we can all handwring about how he's being benched for money, but to be accurate, he's being benched because his play isn't worth anywhere near his salary

nobody's ever like "man it sucks that Sam Darnold doesn't get to start." playing time isn't part of the deal, that's what the money's for

no there's plenty of people posting "just let him finish the season!!" or "man it's a shame to bench such a competitive guy at the end of his career." being disgusted by their contract shenanigans is good, that's not what I’m reacting to
