    Rumor: Garoppolo could be flat out cut.

    I don't think we're taking at QB in this draft.

    Here is what I think will happen if we're smart:

    There is no QB worthy of the 6th pick in this draft. We might have 1st round grades on 3 QBs, but that doesn't mean we'll be in position to draft them at the bottom of the first. I don't think they are anywhere near the top half of the draft in talent. So Fitt might panic and try to trade down, but I don't think we'll find a partner offering equal points. That's perfect. So we take a top LT and plan for the future with a 2023 QB.

    Nothing about this team is smart, so I fully expect a meltdown on here come draft day.

    Per sources, the #Panthers have had conversations with Cam Newton regarding a return

    IF Cam plays for the Panthers this year, I'll go on record that either he or CMC will be Comeback POY.

    I say this in the context of the sweeping changes that have already been made to improve our Offense -- all of which would greatly benefit each of these much maligned superstars.

    So many Huddlers wanted CMC traded ("injury prone and undependable because of it") and Cam avoided ("washed up, no arm, one-trick pony, easily defensed")

    But those ways of thinking are recency-biased.

    The addition of more than competent coaches (OC and OL) -- as opposed to the incompetentcy that both Cam and CMC had to abide, and the acquisition of a G and C that can actually run-block and protect -- these are sea changes that make the past record irrelevant.  Last year, we had an OL of rag-tag losers imitating turnstiles, and coaches who showed no imagination in play-calling.  As I see it, even having a C whose default move isn't 6 yds backwards would probably result in 10-14 more points a game.

    I'm sure even Darnold would show improvement behind our revamped OL (and it's not done yet -- a LT is coming, either from FA or the draft); but Cam would, IMO, have a much higher upside.  I fervently hope he gets the chance, and accepts it.

    The 2022 season is lost. We're not doing anything in 2022, and Jimmy G wouldn't change that. A washed up, injured, "never was" type QB would only hurt our team in the long run.

    The best thing that can happen now is to lose a lot of games, and draft a top 2023 QB prospect. The terrible Jimmy Clausen season led to Cam Newton in the draft. The terrible Sam Darnold season can do exactly the same thing to set us up at QB for over a decade.

    The NFL is designed to help teams that have dumb GMs, but we have to get out of our own way. QBs are being handed to us in the draft, and we're passing on them (Fields) for poop awful horrible nightmare bad QBs in free agency. THAT HAS TO STOP. Fitt, who is certainly dumber than most people on the Huddle, needs to get out of his own way. Let the NFL help you Fitt. Stop making so many moves, and take what falls into your lap for losing and being an idiot.

    Yeah but we’re taking a qb this year so it doesn’t matter about 23 right?
