Ultimately it depends on how Darnold and Fields/Jones pan out. If Darnold flops while Fields and/or Jones become franchise QBs then we fuged up. If Darnold pans out then it doesn't matter that we passed on QBs. Even if Darnold flops it doesn't matter if Fields and Jones both bust too.

Still lots of outages in western NC

I let one rip last night that was an all-timer. It has volume, length, and the pungency could peel paint off the walls. The wife heard it from the other side of the house and it scared the dog. Oh wait, what were y'all talking about?

I mean, I guess it can't hurt. Better that than the opposite I suppose.

He's definitely brilliant and he definitely knows that the crypto market swings wildly on his every word. Put two and two together.

12-5 prediction for a team that everyone on our schedule is going to be looking at that game as either a definite win or at least a potential win... yeah, maybe a little blind.

That was a hidden benefit of the 17 game schedule I hadn't really thought about. Half the league is going to get awarded an extra home game. That's a very real revenue boost and a small, but not insignificant performance advantage

Ouch. I paid face value for pretty good tickets for the same game, then again the seller was a good friend.

Be at peace. You prideful turncoat. The second most despised sports fan right behind the bandwagon jumper.

Says the butthurt Jets fan too prideful of being wrong about his proclaimed franchise savior. Nothing more bitchmade than jumping ship on your team for pride.

You have as many Ws as your Jets. If you didn't understand the point I was making about Carr that's on you. Meanwhile, I guess I was slot on about you being a butthurt Jets fan too prideful to admit you were wrong about your franchise savior Darnold. I was just shooting in the dark there. But, bullseye!

Pathetic is being a fan of a team and then following that team's bust of a former high first round pick to another team because you were high on him. Go the fug away. The guy busted and you're so butthurt about it that you're still beating your bird chest and following him around hoping to somehow be right because your pride is hurt. I'll be cheering for Darnold this fall because he's the Panthers' QB. I want what's best the the Panthers even if it means being wrong. You're a butthurt bitch following around a bust of a QB because you're butthurt. Pathetic indeed.

You're right for the wrong reasons. David Carr was put into arguably the worst situation any QB has ever walked into. Sam Darnold walked into a typical highly drafted rookie bad situation. Virtually everyone drafted high in the 1st is walking into a bad situation. Teams don't get high 1st round picks by being in good situations unless someone traded the farm to get there. I hope I'm wrong about Darnold. I hope he's great. I'd love to be wrong. I just doubt I am. There's too much history saying busts rarely recover.

IF we're in the mix.

Honestly, this schedule screams that the NFL thinks we're gonna suck. Our lone primetime game is against the Texans who sucked even worse than us last year and are almost certainly going to be without Watson at the time of our match up. Everyone has to get a primetime game, so they just burn one on two shitty teams.

He hasn't proven he's not. His career in NY resembled Carr's in Houston. Carr never bounced back. I'll believe Darnold will when it actually happens. History says it almost certainly won't. It's not what Panthers fans want to hear, but that's reality. The exact same things were said about Carr. He has the talent. Houston failed him. It's not his fault. His supporting cast sucked. His OL sucked. His coaches sucked. All of that was true, but he also still very much sucked outside of Houston.

Hell no it wasn't and I said so at the time. We got exactly what we should've known we were getting.

We went 4-11 with Teddy. Was that worth $40M in cap space we'll never get back?

2-2

Teddy is trash and we paid him like a mid-level starter. If you're going to be forced to start a QB the level of a Teddy or Kyle Allen, go with the guy that's going to cost you a fraction of the price. If we had it to do over again, that's what we would've done. I'd bet money on that.

QBs the caliber of Teddy and Kyle Allen do. That's why we had to eat a good chunk of his salary to offload him. He's only hitting the Broncos for $4.4M this year.

Neither are good enough. That's what is important. Allen had the very key advantage of being a fraction of the cost. So yes, Allen at his contract was definitely better than giving Teddy $63M over 3 years.

Yeah. Better than Teddy.

I said it at the time of the signing. We just paid a bunch of money for no appreciable upgrade over Kyle Allen.
