NO ONE, no one, had Darnold as their top priority. Yes it's desperation. Like the fat chick at the end of the bar after last call.

Ian said the panthers where the only team that wanted Darnold, so of course that means three draft picks with one being a 2nd. God dam we samert!!

He's never once had the weapons he now has at his disposal. I'm predicting FAR fewer two-yard dump-offs on third and 6, at least. Not crazy about what we gave up, but we typically suck in the draft anyway, so it was worth kicking the tires on a guy who's never gotten a fair shake and who has some mobility as well as an arm.

If Fit is smart he can instantly upgrade the oline in this draft.  50% chance at Sewell and 100% chance at Slater.  Pick one and then do it again in the 2nd and waalah, your line is set for years.

It has been a rough couple of years so the apprehension is surely justified.

However if Darnold can get the ball deep to DJ Moore I will feel much better. Words can hardly describe how demoralizing it was to see guys like Matt Ryan sling it up and down the field on the Panthers while we needed a prayer just to complete basic deep throws.

Do you think he was put in a position to succeed with the New York Jets?

The coaching staff did their best, but they lacked the talent to make it in the NFL. Darnold is coming to a better team with a better coaching staff. What that will produce in the coming seasons is anyone's guess, but I have a bad feeling.

      Off Season Thread

      I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
