It's amazing that some people miss this as Panthers fan. How over the past four seasons have we not learned this lesson yet? How many forgot about Weinke, Rodney Peete, Jimmy Clausen, the ghost of Vinny Testaverde? Jesus.

You realize this is a thread about a trade for him, correct? Or are you that fuging dumb? Did you think this was a Texans forum?

Not if he gets traded, dumbass.

Sad that you don't know what that means, however. The prorated signing bonus stays with the team that signed him, as that money has already been spent. But, I'm sure you weren't smart enough to know that, were you?

We were bidding against ourselves for Darnold. That is the truth.

100% incorrect.

Well, draft picks only go so far when your QB is a scrub that cannot take advantage of any single shred offensive talent you assemble. Take all our draft picks that have made a top 10 defense. How is that working out while our offense is shitting the bed so hard? You mean the cap that is due to explode in the next couple of seasons due to the new TV deals? I bet you have no idea what Watson would even cost us on the cap, do you?

Exactly. It isn't like there were other NFL teams beating down the doors to get him. fug me....the Eagles got a far better player in Garner Minshew for a fuging 6th round draft pick. Now THAT is a low risk trade.

Moton actually happens to be a good player, so we are back to what, five bums starting on offense out of 11 players? Get a decent QB and it's down to 4 out of 11 bums. That's sort of the point of getting better players is to improve the overall offense.

Seems like you are generally moving the goalposts to try to make your point. The fact is, Sam Darnold is exactly who he has been his entire NFL career. It was painfully obvious that he struggled with making decisions, my God, there were plenty of fuging articles on it. We just ignored all of that and dumped draft picks to watch him do the same thing here.

That is hyperbole at it's finest. The only thing wrong with our offense is that OL and the QB. Not to mention that we technically have a top 10 defense, much like LA does.

Lack of overall investment. We just have not prioritized it in the past 20 years.

I don't think he will get that chance unless we see Watson or some other FA QB signed mid-stream this season. I predict Brady will be the season sacrifice to save Rhule's job.

Yeah, Darnold is no longer any coaches fault. He just fuging sucks.

What fantasy world are you living in exactly? Well, according to one of the Huddle's Insiders, they claim Teddy was a Hurney guy. I don't think we will ever truly know who was more at fault for any of those decisions. I just know that the guy getting paid the most loot and who is supposedly the final say on personnel is ultimately responsible. If these people below you suck at making these decisions(Brady, Hurney, etc) why the fug are you listening to them? Why did you hire them?

Where are you getting this idea that Brady demanded anything? Do you have any source information for that because I am pretty sure this is the first time anyone has ever mentioned that.

True. We will see his true colors if we don't get Watson and we continue with Darnold.

Yep but we are seeing that this owner does not, despite what he said. I suspect that may have to do with the coaching staff, however. I don't think they were ever in on this idea of a "rebuild" they have always been in a win now mode. Which...don't get me wrong, they should be. But that may have gotten Tepper excited, only to see this sort of disappointment. If the rumors are true of Rhule talking Tepper out of Fields, this is not a great look this season either.

Are you talking about Rhule?

Well, Rhule was OC at Temple. If he really feels like he needs to step in, he literally does have that ability. IMO, I don't think you will see that happen. I suspect they all know that the offense is just not recoverable with the current OL/QB situation. Better to have Brady take the fall and can him than take over those duties mid-stream and keep failing.

Plus, as much as I am taking a cheap shot, I don't think he has the experience or time to be finding a new QB out there. That is basically Fitterer's job. Rhule has his hands MORE than full enough trying to figure out what it takes to be successful in the NFL.

Correct. I suspect that Tepper is the one basically telling them get the deal done. I somewhat suspect Rhule doesn't have the sack to try and get someone better on his own accord.

I guess Tepper will be slapping the poo out of Rhule for this QB/OL problem then. Maybe we can have a regular Three Stooges event every Sunday. It would be more entertaining than the games we have had to suffer through.

I said two weeks ago if this season doesn't go well that Brady would get canned. Rightly or wrongly, someone's head has to roll for Rhule to save some face.
