Mr. Scot

Like seeing this...a lot

So per both Kunkel and Cabot, still not close...

Kurt Coleman hanging out too...

If I had that job, I'd be qualified to coach the Panthers.

Why are you such a terrible owner?

And look how that turned out.

Dude, seriously...get a life. Repeatedly coming back here and stumping for something that's never gonna happen is just a huge waste of time. Hint: The Panthers don't come to The Huddle looking for ideas.

Apparently a new writer for Panthers.com

I think he just did. (might have had a little help)

Kinda hard to buy the notion that the guy who was pounding the drum to draft a rookie and build around him is the same guy pushing for Baker Mayfield.

We don't even know who the source is on that other than that it's been repeated on the Huddle.

"Panthers quarterback Baker Mayfield"... It hurts to say it Not a fan of this, but if it happens I will do as I always do and hope for the best.

I usually am

I believe we're going to trade for Baker Mayfield... ...unless we don't

Is the numbskull who claimed inside sources were telling him we were still going to get Watson even after the trade with Cleveland was finalized still on here? I think he left. (which was probably wise)

Athletically? Sure. Mentally? Not so sure.

No they don't. .

I confess there's a part of my brain that wants to see Mayfield's commercials change location to BOA

Don't forget that his dad plays golf with Pat McCrory, and doesn't let having passed away nine years ago slow him down

I see the modern drive to start guys immediately as one of the reasons people were talking about a "quarterback crisis" not too long ago. It's gotten a little better, but NFL quarterback is still the most complicated position in sports. More than one team that drafted an athlete and expected them to skate by on those skills until they learned the position has found that approach lacking. I believe coaching matters, including bad coaching.

I don't see too many people taking the idea of Corral as a day one starter too seriously right now. If we go with what we've got, I expect that to be Darnold. If we acquire Mayfield, then it'll likely be him. Garoppolo? Not so sure.

The Drew Brees that kept Philip Rivers on the bench was hardly "hall of famer" Drew Brees. He was dumped by the Chargers not long after. And again, a lot of guys who do end up starting don't do so because it's in the plans. Heck, look at Brady. As I've said all along, either strategy can work. What the smart guys do isn't limited to one approach. They evaluate the situation. The bad, dumb or desperate teams always want the rookie to start whether it's best or not.
