Panthers trade for Sam Darnold

[Whatev]

So basically a 2nd for the kid.  

Now we pray that Fitts falls to us or just go OL right?  If Fitts or highest rated OL is gone, use the 8th to trade back as some have mentioned.  That 8th pick is still worth a lot.

They must’ve really hated Teddy, because this is quite a downgrade and waste of picks. 
 

I wonder who they’d eyeing in the 1st.

 I don't see as a downgrade. Physically Darnold is ahead of Teddy, age wise as well. Put Teddy B on the Jets and he doesn't get a win. This is a lateral move at worst.

100% this.

I would’ve gladly traded a 2, 4, 6 to move up for someone who can be truly special at the QB position rather than settling for long shot game manager

this may be the worst move this team has ever made, if one of these QBs goes on to be great, and at least one certainly will, we will always have to sit back and wonder what could’ve been

Good trade. 2nd round pick on a 23 year old QB flyer that has had great stretches of games before but was in a terrible organization like....Robby Anderson

 

Now get Slater, Sewell or Pitts and lets go

How about Jamar Chase and just kill people on offense every game?

[Mistuh Jones]

Plus this sets us up for BPA in the draft and not having to wish and play any QB roulette

were being poorly ran

I don’t hate this move really. I get people are disappointed because it is Sam Darnold but the potential is there for him to make a turn around. The fact that we get to surround him with Moore, CMC and Joe Brady gives me some hope. 
 

if we add slater, Sewell, chase or Pitts, Darnold may not have to do a whole lot but get the ball out quick to his playmakers.

So much for a 3rd round pick huh

[Whatev]

Suck for Sam 2021

Likely puts an end to the Deshaun Watson speculation too.

(not that there was much left)

Dude's a Panther now so I'll support him, I hope he does well in the system. I think it's an upgrade over Teddy and I also think people who are immediately jumping on the hate train to just relax and realize that you don't play for the Panthers so like, it doesn't really affect you?? I dunno, some of yall sound like no matter what move the team makes, you're jumpin off the bridge.

Don't make a mistake, Jets fans are dancing like it's V-day 1945 right now at the thought they were able to get off Darnold for a SECOND ROUND PICK.  Tepper just got snookered by one of the worst franchises in American sports
