00:00Who has the worst quarterback situation ahead of the 2022 NFL season?
00:05Corbin, when I think of the two NFL teams that have not the strongest group at the quarterback
00:11position, I think of the Carolina Panthers and the Seattle Seahawks.
00:15Would you agree?
00:16Yeah, I think right now those two teams and maybe you could throw the Pittsburgh Steelers
00:20into a tier with them.
00:22That is the lowest tier in the NFL, Seattle trading way Russell Wilson and all they have
00:26right now is Drew Locke and Gino Smith with Jacob Eason as their third string quarterback.
00:31And obviously Locke and Smith both have losing records as starters.
00:34Locke did show some potential a few years ago as a rookie going four and one, but he
00:38lost his starting job to Teddy Bridgewater a year ago.
00:42And then Gino Smith's been a backup for the last six years and didn't really play any
00:46meaningful snaps for like four years until Russell Wilson got hurt last year.
00:50So they've certainly got a bad situation.
00:52I think Carolina, though, might have the worst quarterback situation in the NFL.
00:56Sam Darnold coming over from New York Jets last year, I was of the belief that getting
01:00him away from Adam Gase was going to be the key to getting him to turn his career around.
01:05And that obviously was not the case.
01:06Had a miserable first season in Carolina.
01:09They started 3-0 and then everything just unraveled after that.
01:12He missed some games with an injury.
01:13They drafted Matt Corral out of Ole Miss.
01:15He's never played a game in the NFL.
01:18We don't know what he's going to look like.
01:20So both of these teams could use an upgrade at the position.
01:23You've got Baker Mayfield and Jimmy Garoppolo out there.
01:25I don't see the 49ers trading Garoppolo to the Seahawks within the NFC West.
01:30Mayfield, I could see Seattle having interest in him if he gets cut.
01:33I just don't think either one of these teams is going to trade a draft asset right now
01:38with Baker Mayfield's contract to bring him over.
01:41They're going to force the Browns to cut him and then they might be aggressive trying to
01:45sign him.
01:46That is still in play for both those teams if Mayfield becomes a free agent.
