Mr. Scot

Yeah, but that Deshaun Watson trade should be going through anytime now, right?

What seems to have changed things...

Way too soon to know anything substantive...

Still have to field a team this year, and Rhule isn't likely to go for that option.

If Mayfield got injured, would you really wanna start Corral?

Too much dead cap...

I have a tough time seeing that happen. I have an even tougher time picturing another team being willing to take on his salary.

The "competition" stuff is probably coachspeak, but it's not hard to imagine them keeping Darnold. I imagine they'd have to get at least a reasonable offer, but I wouldn't count too heavily on that coming. To those looking for the team to ditch Darnold, I'd say don't hold your breath.

Clarifying the "condition"... Not a high bar to clear, but if it's late in the season and we're not doing well, the team could make some... adjustments.

This is good news...

There were reports that he didn't want us, or at least didn't like us as much as Seattle (which is understandable). As far as the Panthers, word was that it was a debate. Some wanted Baker, other's didn't. Apparently, the ones who did won the argument.

Already been reported they don't want Darnold. They're likely rolling with Brissett.

Fair point...

I think he's better than that. I remember watching a game where he and Lamar Jackson duked it out to the the bitter end. He played really well in that game. I'm certainly not a huge fan, but I don't think he's bad.

Only fair to point out here...Joe was right.

From Albert Breer...

Arm? Not a problem Balls? Not a problem Brains? Eeehhh, we'll see. Certainly hoping that McAdoo and Ryan can bring down those interception numbers.

I think we're more likely to get Johnny Lawrence

You just described my dad. Used to buy that disgusting Caffeine-Free Coke. Everybody in the family hated it (including him) but it was cheaper

It's quite a collection. Jameis Winston, New Orleans Saints, 1st overall pick in the 2015 NFL Draft... Marcus Mariota, Atlanta Falcons, 2nd overall pick in the 2015 NFL draft... Baker Mayfield, Carolina Panthers, 1st overall pick in the 2018 NFL Draft Sam Darnold, Carolina Panthers, 3rd overall pick in the 2018 NFL Draft Blaine Gabbert, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, 10th overall pick in the 2011 NFL Draft Andy Dalton, New Orleans Saints, 35th overall pick in the 2011 NFL Draft Desmond Ridder, Atlanta Falcons, 74th overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft Matt Corral, Carolina Panthers, 94th overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft ... Oh, and that Brady guy

At this point, I don't really think there are too many of us left who have high expectations of Rhule or his strategic planning.

I mean, I get that he's delusional, but continuing to make that prediction after we've traded for Mayfield? That would take dedication. Or medication... (or a lack thereof)

It's very possible. Hell, I'd forgotten who the Falcons have now. Had to look it up
