Panthers trade for Sam Darnold


Memphis

Recommended Posts

We traded a 2nd round pick for Sam Darnold. There are MUCH worse options out there, including trading 3 first round picks for Deshaun Watson. Best Case Scenario? Darnold balls out with DJ, CMC and Robby Anderson (who played with Darnold and played well) under Joe Brady and our Defense continues to improve leaving us with a post season contender. Worse case? Darnold leads us to the #1 pick next year.

Y'all dont know what you want.

2nd rounder next year is kind of irrelevant. Fitterer will just trade back next year and pick that second back up. 

Or he will trade back this year and get the 2nd back. The Panthers still have #8 this year.

We’ll see. A 2022 2nd is the hard pick to stomach but not a bad get. So Teddy will be released J1 or traded. 
 

Question is now if a trade down is in the cards to make up for the overcompensation or if we decide to finally get an LT in Slater or Sewell.

But now we can trade back and get a 2nd rounder in 2021 or 2022.  If so, this cost us a fourth and a comp pick.

    • It's honestly pretty interesting just seeing this pairing play out. Canales’ offenses (Seattle, Tampa) are run-first, under-center, play-action systems built around defined reads and intermediate/deep timing throws. That structure worked when he had QBs like Baker Mayfield or Russell Wilson in a system that created clear launch points and sightlines. His success has always been tied to a credible run game + play-action gravity. You can see that with the Panthers team building philosophy as well. Coker and TMac both are bigger receivers that won't get the best YAC production but thrive as possession receivers in contested scenarios. They're not the best in space and creating additional yardage in such, and would likely fair better systematically with a stronger armed QB who can create better opportunities on those boundary 1v1 matchups with stronger throws. Bryce, on the other hand, is a spread-native QB. His strengths are rhythm, spacing, quick processing, and off-script creation. Asking him to live in condensed formations with long-developing play-action concepts just hasn't been his forte. And well, his boundary throws are limited in velocity which takes a big chunk of the playbook off. And I mean a QB like Bryce can still work, it's just Dave's offensive philosophy and foundation is very much at odds with Young's physical limits and his own experience. So it's certainly still a learning experience for Dave to figure out how he can mesh his offensive philosophy with Young's strengths. He's very inexperienced with maximizing Bryce's strengths with his system. Would love to see us bring in an OC with spread experience and adaptability to implement a cohesive system with Dave to allow Bryce to thrive, as it's obvious we're sticking with him for a bit longer.   
    • Only thing I really agreed with is questioning why we didn’t take any timeouts on their last drive.  I know hindsight is 20/20, but I think it would’ve saved clock bc they were desperate to score as soon as the opportunity presented itself, but I also think it could’ve helped the defense regroup and maybe give us a better chance to stop them.
