Except no team would trade for him without an agreement on an extension already in place. NTC or not, good vets with options have a lot of sway on where they end up.

You asked. I answered. And David Tepper killed our Panthers.

Draft dream: Steelers draft Howell Draft nightmare: Saints draft Howell

It'd be the 6th overall pick, probably significantly more, AND a gigantic new contract. I like Murray but I'm not certain he's worth that and I'm damn certain I want no part of Rhule being involved in making that decision.

Are we going to embarrass ourselves with yet another aggressive swing and miss?

Because they're desperately trying to save their jobs. Tepper created this mess by not firing Rhule after last season. The desperation we're getting ready to exhibit at the QB position is going to be entirely due to that idiotic decision.

Kick the tires of all else fails. I'm definitely not pushing for Mayfield.

Agreed. We were getting blown up in the middle.

He can want whatever he pleases. He ain't gonna get it.

Yeah, it really is. If we were winning I wouldn't like it but I could see an argument for moving on to something else. But to put up three straight five win seasons and trying to strip the very foundation of what has become the Panthers' culture? Yeah, Tepper can go fug himself. He couldn't do a better job of trying to gut this fanbase if he was actively trying to do just that. "Keep Pounding" is basically the only thing we have left to hold onto.

I think the NFL realizes he needs a big ego checking and they're giving him one. It won't shock me if the Browns end up having to outright cut him and he has to sign a low cap hit prove it deal.

I don't think we make a pick at #6. Fitts lives to trade down and lives to trade in general. We have a serious lack of overall draft capital having no day two picks. Add it all up and it screams trade down IMO.

Tepper wants rid of anything and everything that predates him. He's making it very, very easy for fans to say fug it and throw in the towel. It honestly wouldn't shock me if he started pushing for a complete rebranding and changing the team name/mascot.

Enter Kenny Pickett.

At first, we went with the smart, physically limited QB in Teddy. Then we went with the physically talented but mentally limited Darnold. Going with a Jimmy G would basically just be regressing back to our initial QB mistake.

Entitlement makes you think you can make every throw.

I agree but it's because of his entitled attitude. Is that fixable? Eh... I doubt it.

Put Jimmy G on this team and he'll look like Sam Darnold. Put Mayfield on this team and he'll probably be an absolute cancer. If you could combine Jimmy G's attitude with Mayfield's talent you'd probably have a QB. Unfortunately you can't.

Nah, serious. Everything I've heard about him says he's the perfect teammate. I just wouldn't want to pay that cap hit for a veteran hand holder.

Everything about Jimmy G suggests he'd be a great vet mentor.

Insert whatever bum on the Niners roster at QB and he probably has playoff stats.

They're both under contract. It would be yet another trade for a cast off level vet QB.

This "he's a winner" stuff has to stop. He sucks. He's a subpar QB who has been fortunate to play for some really good overall teams. Look at his playoff stats. They're Darnold level bad.

If we could get Mayfield for that I'd rather go that route than Jimmy G. Mayfield with an ego checking could be a good QB. The only two vets I'd consider are Mayfield (for the right price) and Minshew. Minshew would preferably be brought in as a bridge while we develop (the thought of this staff developing a rookie QB ) a rookie.

I said a long time ago that Jimmy G would be our QB. Everything about Jimmy G screams "Matt Rhule QB".
