That picture right there is why this guy should never suit=up in the nfl again

I know of no true number one qb in the nfl who would be fine with it If he is, and if what Scott F described is true, he is not someone iId ever want as my number one option at qb These guys are supposed to be leaders his money is guaranteed whether he is fine with it or not however and that’s also part of the problem but we all know this

I personally found it humorous that told Sam that and Sam was ‘fine with it’ $18.5 reasons to be ‘fine with it’ not sure why Fitterer felt it necessary to give that info….I mean, no other team wants Darnold and his salary is guaranteed

Yeah. If I had $18.5 million guaranteed, they could do any freaking thing they wanted to do

The best hope for fans, and for the team itself, is that there are veteran NFL coaches on this team now. they may not be Bill Bellincheks but they understand what it takes to succeed in the Nfl …and that right there, is a massively updated clown show than the one we endured for 2 years.…meaning we have gone from clowns that march in the local parades, to Bozo it may still be a clown show, but it should be an improved clown show that”s all I got…hope

What’s the saying, ‘when people show you who they are believe them…the first time’’ i don’t care if Darnold got a raw deal with the line and coaches. He didn’t help the situation and made it far worse I didn’t care if he is the nicest person and helps old ladies across the streets He is starting his 5th year in the nfl and has been the worst qb in the 4 years preceding He was so indecisive and so poor at making reads back there, that the plays were dumbed down for him on purpose and he still failed. The process of reading coverages and the time it takes him to do so, much less correctly, isn’t nfl level. It never will be he is going to walk away with $23 million from the Panthers. I want him to take his $23 million, get a surf board and go back to San Clemente you can put lipstick on a pig, but it’s still a pig in my Panthers fandom, the worst nightmare of my life was hearing he was being brought here he hasn’t disappointed

As much as I despise Rhule and would like nothing better than for him to rot in the bed he made, neither the players or the fans can stomach another year of Darnold don’t forget those players have incentives in their contract and some actually aspire to, you know, make it to a playoff game, and that is absolutely not happening with Darnold. Too, do not expect the fans in the stadium to be anything other than opposing fans why travel to see the worst qb in the league look like the worst qb in the league it’s called Hope…and right now, this franchise and it’s fans, have none. losing hope in September is a helluva lot worse for a pro football team than losing it in December

I’ve felt this way for awhile now It is the best way to contain Tepper’s train wreck of a head coach Get that tackle. One of the three should be there. Pickup Mayfield. If he plays well in McAdoo’s system, then options exist in 2023. Jimmy G and that throwing shoulder surgery, just say ‘no’. Rhule is the gift that keeps on giving in oh so many ways I think Willis has so much potential you can’t teach speed or arm strength but I just don’t see what he needs to thrive in Charlotte If he had 3 more inches in height, prototypical . It is conceivable with McAdoo, that Willis is drafted at 6, and another train wreck of an old LT is brought in I wouldn’t cry if Willis is the pick Honestly, from the first time I saw him, he reminded me so much of Steve McNair We should be that lucky McNair attended Alcorn State still bigger than Liberty but by no means an Auburn in competition either

Baker’s gone the question is which team. I suspect come this Friday or Saturday, it will be settled I just don’t see anyway, other than salary, that isn’t going to be the preferred choice. They’ve already had a qb coming off shoulder surgery. If they are smart they won’t repeat it with Jimmy I’m not a Baker fan..,not in college or the pros but if puts on Panthers colors, I’ll support him fully. under Kitchens and before injury, he was not horrible. Darnold……enough said

Absolutely agree. it is unfortunate this has all been self inflicted at this point how the Panthers got to chicken poo doesn’t matter. They’ve got to go from chicken poo to somewhat digestible chicken salad quickly

Get ready

Having been to games during the Rhule, Tepper, Darnold era, I see no way the franchise can trot Darnold back out there I’m having a hard time even seeing Rhule back out there much less Darnold people who only see this team on tv have no idea how ugly game day has gotten incompetence on a pro level is not easily forgiveable by the home fans I look for the Panthers to get a LT at 6 in the draft if one is there Then, i see them either getting Mayfield or Jimmy one a one year rental for a next year 3rd or 4th if that trading team takes half the salary they may also trade to get a qb in the second rd to groom in addition to either mayfield or Jimmy i would not be surprised at a release of Darnold after all, what’s worse for Rhule then the media constantly reminding him of his mishandling of the most important position on the field then having an $18 million backup as the tv cameras pan to him handling the clipboard if no LT is there, and no trade partner, then all bets are off. DE or Kyle Hamilton, come on down

And I hate him for it if he had a brain in that scruffy ass head of his, year 1, LT or qb second year, the position you didn’t get in year 1 in modern day NFK, these are the building blocks every single thing wrong with the Panthers is self inflicted. All of it

You and I both know he was brought in to hold the place and help groom the qb to be drafted in 2021 this is not news They threw crap on the wall and hoped it would stick. Just like Darnold hopefully mcadoo does better

No, we didn’t when the plays were there to be made, he did not make them Teddy, is, and always will be a backup. He was meant to be a placeholder for one year We know the rest (why and who wanted him in Charlotte) He is backup now. Right now, this franchise and fan base needs competent. I don’t care who it is. Can be a Tannehill clone for all I care if there is another ‘can’t miss prospective ‘ in 2023 as people on here think there is, fine, trade the future draft choices and go get that player. this franchise has zero hope and offense has looked like a total cluster fug

At this point, I just want NFL competent. Just NFL competent Get the ball to the play makers and 1. Don’t look like a deer in the head lights when the first read isn’t there …ie process quickly 2. Don’t be stupid. Surely, somewhere in the NFL universe those two things can exist in a qb for the Panthers I know it isn’t Darnold. It never was going to be Darnold See number 1 and 2 The only person in said nfl universe who thought it was, was Rhule

Posters like to say 1. ‘Keep Darnold’. I do not believe Darnold can be put under center …the players, from reports, do not support him and when he is on the field, there is a total feeling of hopelessness with the fans and I suspect the players as well. 2. ‘trade down’…with who? A team has to have a trade partner who wants to give up something to move up What can’t be allowed to happen is giving away next year’s draft picks for this year 3. ‘No QB in this draft is worth it’. When you don’t have something, you desperately need, ‘worth it’, is in the eye of the beholder. 4. ‘Tank for next year’. Players have contracts with incentives as do coaches. This isn’t going to happen. Frankly, given the QB situation, it May happen naturally who knows However, as George Allen said, ‘the future is now’ the future, who knows the state of the world, the league next year my feeling If a LT is there at 6, take him. one of the big 3 that is If a LT is not there, then try and trade down. If no trade partner, then take the highest ranked player on the board regardless of position post draft, sign whoever is available to a one year deal. A warm body, not named Sam Darnold needs to go under center Nothing like paying for a season that is ‘throw away’ in all likelihood

Matt, you sure spent a lot of time justifying why what you see as fiction. For what it is worth to you, Ellis Williams is pretty respected

Thank you for sharing this very interesting to listen to…

I’m laughing out loud. I’m dying here

Well. The commercials could be entertaining….so, there is that

I was just thinking the same damned thing not only do the Panthers take Jets’ scraps, now they consider Browns’ scraps …and oh yeah, a qb that the 49ers gave up, what three #1s to move up and take to get rid of him I’m, just, I don’t know i’ve got nothin

The stadium is full of opposing team fans thanks to the owner hiring Rhule and the disaster that has followed PSL owners are not going to pay for tickets, parking, gas, lodging, food, and the time investment for a pro team that can’t get a first down or score a TD if we wanted that, we could go watch pee wee football on Saturdays for no cost and a lot more purity also non PSL panthers fans won’t buy individual seats for the same reason but opposing fans will buy, particularly those that can’t see their teams any other way So, there may be ‘wine and cheese’ fans at the stadium but they aren’t Panthers fans and if they are, I assure their numbers are few other than perhaps his ego, Tepper doesn’t care. His seats are sold thanks to 4 year, 6 year, or 8 year PSL agreements

I think for me, at this point, I’d like to just see a competent team. I don’t care anymore how they get there ..meaning, a well coached team, that has a competent game plan and a competent qb to run it and make in game adjustments …a qb who does not look like deer in the headlights …a defensive coordinator that sees all the runs to the left and fixes it before 100 yards are amassed on that side alone tired of being everybody’s get well game The QB1 position has been fuged up with Rhule he may fug it up again, but all I know is the Panthers cannot trot Sam Darnold out there again and expect to have anything outside of opposing teams in the stadium and boos raining down on Rhule’s head pro football lives and dies on entertainment and hope and right now the panthers are neither entertainment or full of hope

That’s what the Panthers do, right….Coming off shoulder surgery on top if it when I read the part about ‘Jimmy gets in trouble when his first read isn’t there’ all I could think of is we already have that with Darnold
