I can't fathom how anyone could look at the Reich hire and what transpired in Indianapolis and come away thinking "yeah Sam Darnold is definitely going to be here this season".

Shocking development.

Yeah and some folks will forever see Cam for his win/loss record beginning with the Pittsburgh game in 2018. Anything he did before negated. It is what it is though.

Turns out you probably should invest in better OTs than Bryon Bell and Mike Remmers and not use your fuging QB as a bulldozer every single drive

And people really wanted round 2 of another Ron Rivera

Hopefully the Saints are stupid enough to trade for him.

I would thoroughly enjoy every minute of it if this is true but Terry Bradshaw is legitimately insane so you can't really believe it.

Why are we so bad this season? It can't be that Miles made this much of a difference. I thought our defense was bad last year but it seems to be worse. Borrego had this team looking way better, had the team .500 with a chance in the playoffs but was canned. It doesn't make any sense to me. 

Idk we might have won a few more games with Borrego but he wouldn't be much different from Clifford. He would be taking the hardline calling the players out about not playing defense but Mark Williams would still be on the bench while Plumlee plays all the minutes. Moving on from JB isn't the problem it's what's transpired since. Which is the story of the MJ era Hornets in a nutshell.

"Well you see if you remove three of the most important games of the season which were losses and ended our postseason hopes things actually weren't that bad."

They can try all they want but the details of that situation are public knowledge. They aren't going to be able to pull the wool over anyone's eyes. Carr basically already gave them the finger by not letting them extend the period to deal him.

In a week(ish), he will be a free agent.

I'm prepared for us to make a run at him I guess.

Love Wilks can't stand the 49ers but happy he got himself a new gig.

No one is trading for him. Period.

Everyone in the NFL knows he is getting cut.

Hopefully you're right but Raiders are gonna Raider

Any money you say you will pay him if not guaranteed means nothing. So you can restructure and extend him for cap purposes risk free beyond next year which is all he said he wanted. By converting salary to signing bonus you can kick the cap to when we have plenty of room and he costs us a lot less in 2023. And he actually said he wants to be here and that money wasn't the primary factor.

Endless restructures on iffy contacts is what Marty Hurney did for years that led us to the "cap hell" so many here complained about for so long. Weird that's gone out the window again. But alright

I’d prefer giving up a mid-round pick for Jordan Love if we’re forced to trade for a former 1st round QB again. 

People are still buying that hype? And zero percent chance all they ask for is a mid rounder.

Meh he knows he wanted to leave and go to a contending team and he has a connection to Philly. He was vocal about his aggravation with the team at times on Twitter that season too. He's in a better situation which is what he wanted. Enjoy the moment it might not come around again take it from us.

Are you planning on paying him in draft picks??

Obviously referring to if we get antsy and try to trade for him. I'm hopeful Fitterer has learned his lesson. He knows this is his last chance to get QB right. Can't do anything foolish though. This would fall under that.

Giving a 29 yr old who is the best lb on our roster a two year contract is a marty hurney move now... wow

He said he won't take a paycut. He's been averaging about 13 million per season on his current deal. So 26 million minimum. Yeah that has a bit of a Hurney vibe to it sorry if you guys don't want to hear it but I thought we were done building our team overinvesting in linebackers and running backs.

Hopefully the Niners defense falls off a cliff.

Don’t think they will have to throw draft picks, maybe 30 mil/year which isn’t bad for a QB like him. 
 

I would rather use the draft picks on skill guys tbh.

30 million a year!? And what if he is proven to be damaged goods? He'll be 32 when training camp rolls around. We can't afford to take an L on another high risk signing like that.

Shaq must have been talking to frankw for him to get his panties in a bunch about this.  I have no problem with Shaq remaining on this team with a sensible extension.

He'll be 29 in April. Giving an aging linebacker a "sensible" extension sounds like a Marty Hurney move. That's how we want to run things again?

They're going to draft who they want regardless. Just don't throw the bank and draft picks at Derek Carr. It will only end in catastrophe.

Brian Burns has a more legitimate beef to actually say something like this. He's been on a rookie contract this whole time. Shaq's been off that deal for years. But keep caping.

Caping doesn't make you superior either. You aren't going to get an "attaboy" big guy.

If any Panthers player ever had a legit right to call out fans it was Cam Newton. But he never did not once. Not even now after all has been said and done. But after several losing seasons and zero winning seasons you want to call out your fans?

Literally this gif

Other former and even current Panthers have gotten way worse treatment via social media. I don't see Sam Darnold going on Twitter calling out fake fans or haters.
