If we got back 1 or 2 of the picks we just gave away, that would be great.

Bottom line is no one knows. The next 2 years will make or break Darnold and either set this coaching staff up for major success or put them behind the 8 ball moving on to their 3rd QB in a short amount of time. They didnt mortgage the future, but this will be a waste of time and resources if it doesn't work out and put a bad taste in everyone's mouth.

If he is sitting there at 8, ya never know.

I think it puts the Panthers in the best position to take the best player available at 8, or trade down. Darnold is probably not a long term fix, but he fits the system better than TB. And, there is a chance he turns out to be good (not great) and we keep him or trade him for picks at some point.

Its a gamble. He may do better here with more weapons. If he doesnt, we didnt sell the farm to get him. If the Watson situation gets cleared up, we might wiggle our way back into to that.

For all the fans salivating over the pro days of this years QBs

No one wanted Jake Delhomme in 2003 either.

Ouch

Yeah, if anything this may help to see what kind of real evidence there is.

Awesome post, brother. Good insight from someone closer to the situation than we are.

I know that Fields is not Haskins. My point was, if he has issues that are not correctable in the NFL, we are better off drafting one of the other studs who will be sitting there at 8. If Fields is still there at 8, a bunch of teams have those concerns. Look, if we draft him I hope he is the best thing since sliced bread and he leads us to the SB every year. I'm just letting you know there are concerns out there about him.

That WR corps would be deadly (if we have a QB who can get them the ball).

Sounding like more and more teams have concerns about Fields' ability to process and make progressions. He looked good in the underwear Olympics, but he may indeed be available when we pick. Of course, if he is Dwayne Haskins Part 2, no thanks.

I knew a girl many years ago who was raped by an on-duty police officer that she did not know! That disgust me, particularly since I am now a cop and hate those who cause harm to the profession. Anyway, that poor girl, who was 18 at the time, never reported it to police. I have had other GFs who were also sexually abused in their lives and never reported it. But, I am still suspicious of this Watson case. There are several things about it that just smell fishy. I say we wait it out to see how things go. If the allegations don't stick, I would be willing to bring him on. Some team will, regardless of the outcome - I am not in that boat.

Pitts may be the best player in this draft. I have seen him rated #2 behind TL. If we can get him at 8, have to consider it. I heard him called a generational type player at his position.

Yeah, this is tricky because most are going to vote "gunslinger" right now because of TB. But another TB, Tom Brady, just won a SB being a game manager. Additionally, you dont want a gunslinger that throws more picks than TDs.

Starting to think if no QB is there we want, then grab one of the tackles or trade down and get extra picks.

If you can go to Walmart or a movie theater now, dont see why they cant work out a prospect.

Sorry, but I wouldn't retire jerseys of players who havent won a SB. And, I love Cam, Luke, et al. Ring of Honor, definitely!

Funny how quickly the sentiment changed. Lol

A little harder to get away with lynching people these days, but hatred continues in other forms. Wouldn't be the first time a group of rich white men railroaded a successful black man who "stepped out of line". Sorry, but I will hold off on assuming he is guilty.

I'm not attached to anyone. He is a Texan, and if he did what they accuse him of, he should never play football again. I'm just willing to let it play out before assuming he is guilty. Remember, this is a CIVIL case. There are already obvious holes in the stories of some of these accusers. For example, the lady who claims to have been sexually assaulted by DW on 2 different occasions. Um, if he did it once, why would she make another appointment with him? Many questions need to be answered. There are many in the past who have been wrongly accused by just as many as DW currently is.

Yeah, because when a large group of people gang up on 1 person, they are usually right. OK - A lot of innocent black men and women fell victim to that mentality in the last several hundred years. But, I guess that doesn't happen anymore.

I guess we will see, won't we? Again, good chance that Watson plays again somewhere.

Durn, cancel culture got another one - future D Watson, who is still innocent until proven guilty. Yall may want to hang onto to that photo. You may need it again in the near future. Look, I am all for waiting to see how it turns out, but the timing of all that was shady, man. Watson is going to play in the NFL again and at a high level. I could see the Patriots snatching him up when this gets resolved - then Dynasty Part II begins.
