America is a wonderful place where everyone is entitled to an opinion, even you.

Jake Delhomme and Steve Beuerlein are on the other side of your trade.

Darnold will get his reps, keeping TB5 on the roster will have zero effect there. 

On the flipside, Darnold could learn a lot from Teddy and having the steadying influence of such a even-keeled and competent veteran can only help Sam -- win/win.

Grier & Walker have been fully "evaluated", nothing new to be learned about them...short-timers.

Yeah that was said way before we traded for Darnold, not happening

Keeping Teddy screws up the team dynamics. If there is going to be a qb competition between them, more than likely Teddy beats out Darnold as the starter. If you put Darnold in as the starter anyway, other players might not be so happy with that decision. If the team wants Darnold to start then Teddy needs to be gone.

Not in the least.

Do you really believe that?  I too believe it's possible but it might just be the 2 of us!

For sure.

Sensing your post is a joke?

Lol what? No chance in Gods Green Earth would ANYBODY trade us a first round pick for Teddy. Much less a top 10 pick.

Although how incredible would it be to have back to back picks in the top 10. We would be so set up for success it’s ridiculous.

Clearly.

thats why I said wow

You’re using an article written before Darnold was signed.

It’s not relevant as it was written likely on the basis of drafting a rookie.

Darnold isn’t a rookie, he doesn’t need captain checkdown/audible to a run with the game on the line to help him.

Worst case is save $8M and release him.

Best case is trade him and save all $18M or save between $8M and $18M and get a pick.

Yup, sure did.

..."likely...?

Nope, he's not a rookie...and he'll get his reps...but he's completely unproven and having a backup plan is prudent --- said plan is already under contract.

Do you truly believe that to be "best case"?  Pay the guy $10 million cash to go away and sign with someone else?

Zero chance anything in your last sentence ever happens.

Yep if not traded he will be cut. Just face the facts, Carolina doesn’t want him. It’s really not that hard to see, if you can’t then I don’t know what else to tell you.

You don't need a mediocre vet to mentor another vet.

Amazing that you think there is no chance that Teddy gets release or traded after we made a trade for Darnold and committed to paying him in 2022.

The last thing Sam Darnold is, is a "vet".  He's a wet behind the ears 23-yr old deer in the headlights...

You're deluded...

...but to clarify, I do believe there's a chance TB5 is paid-in-full and then "released" --- to do so would be completely stupid but I can't deny it as a possibility.

Do you really believe there is a chance TB5 is "traded"...?!?  Surely ye jest...

    • His points are valid.  However, it seems a bit based on past performance and fails to take into consideration trends and conditions that might suggest growth in 2025.   For one, he breaks the team down by position and ranks them separately.  I guess that is a fair way to do it, but they are dependent upon each other. Last year, our DL sucked.  That impacts the rest of the defense.  With no internal pressure, the QBs simply step up to avoid the Edge rush.  I would have suggested that the internal DL is now featuring pass rushers and large people who can collapse the pocket.  Secondly, the LBs were not protected very well in 2024.  It is hard to see the holes and step up when a guard is in your earhole a second after the snap.  Finally, the defensive backs will be forced to make fewer tackles and they will be better in pass protection with a new and improved DL.    Canales made an interesting comment the other day, and I (from the outside looking in) feel the same way:  (paraphrasing) "I have never seen a better group of rookies."   I think the biggest concern is the learning curve.  How long before these rookies are ready?   I am bullish on this team.  I think they win 3 of their first 4 and get confident.  The get the fans behind them.  From there, they win 6 of the remaining 13.  If they stay injury free, they have an outside shot at the NFC south.     
    • Biiiiiig eyeroll on this.  First, Look at historical stats of the most recent historical great DBs.  I plucked 3, Revis, Sherman, and Norman (cuzz he was our guy).  Combined post age 30, there are TWO pro bowls between those 3 and wanna get this...ZERO seasons with 16 games started.  ALL missed time.  It is RARE that Corners survive that long in the NFL and its about time we started recognizing this fact.  Jaycee is a good bet because it hasnt been anything seriously devastating injury wise, and with his sample size he could and should be an incredible piece for the panthers through age 30. Jaire kinda flops on the other side, hes 28...so hes under 30, but he wants his payday before it comes up, hes also been injury prone lately.  Bulk of the contract will be on opposite side of 30.  Will both of these guys help us be better in 2026?  SURE!  No doubt, but the question is, will these guys help us past 2026...not sure. The investment isnt worth the risk, nor would the ROI be anywhere close to worth it.  Neither guy is moving us from a 6-8 win team to a 8-10 team, period. My point is we're in this state a 6-8 win team IMO and he projects us as  a 4-6 win team.  EVEN if we think Jaire or Ramsey will make us a 6-8 win team, it in NO WAY is worth the money or capital to move that much just to suck kinda less.  
    • I assumed he was retiring but apparently he plans on playing multiple more seasons.  Florida is gonna have trouble holding onto everyone.  Happens to all teams that have that much success.
