Sounds like Teddy will be Traded


Recommended Posts

Best hope is someone like SF (assuming Jimmy is trades) or NYG that has a cheap QB and needs a quality backup might toss a 2022 5th or 6th at Carolina to make this happen. Trading down from #8 is a better route to recoup picks, particularly if one of the QBs is still on the board.

I see a pattern of the Panthers just quickly cycling through experienced QB who didn't pan out until we hit on someone. Darnold will have a short leash imo, and if he doesn't produce a winning season in 2021 then he needs to be mentally prepared to be the scapegoat. We'll put the losses on him and send him wandering off into free agency. Rhule is an odd dude.

Trade or cut, we’ll eat 15 mil of his contract but it opens up 8 mil post June 1st. So with a vet in Darnold on a rookie deal, we can still draft Lance or Fields, and spend 5-6 mil towards a vet DB or just make it savings.

The Panthers aren’t drafting Fields or Lance, give me a break. That would be extremely moronic based on what the Panthers just gave up.

We gave up a 6th (meaningless, we have three) and 2 futures. It really wasn’t much. If you’re looking at the money, we’re going to be in a perfectly reasonable spot to do so if one falls. I don’t think we’re trading up anymore though and that’s likely why we went ahead and did this.

Why are we now giving up on drafting a future franchise qb for Darnold? Like you just said,  if darnold doesn't light it up then he is a FA next year and we have absolutely nothing at QB. I still think we should be looking at drafting one if somebody falls not name mac jones.

I think we might draft Trey Lance.

I think there is weird outrage.  People wanted us to draft a QB and ditch Teddy.  
 

if we did, that means we still bring in another QB.  Darnold doesn’t mean we can’t draft a QB if he falls to 8.  But it means we have hope beyond just being stuck with repeating Teddy again if we can’t land a QB we want.  Darnold might not be any better than Teddy.  But he has potential to be.

I already think darnold is better than teddy but not by much. Sam is going into year 5 and has to be paid after this year but i think its close to a pipe dream he will be a significantly better qb to what we need going forward. I would rather just draft a young guy then take to time to see what darnold can do. I mean its not many options for a legit vet to come in. Unless they are just waiting to see if watson gets out the mess he is in later. Other than that you gotta draft somebody.

    • I'm OK with it. I think it's a little high considering his injury history and weight issues, but Coker seems to be a solid kid that has an understanding of what it takes to be a pro, and I believe that they believe that he did enough last season to show that he's ready to be a consistent force within the offense. Let's go, Coker, be all that everyone, including yourself, knows that you can be!
    • https://www.si.com/nfl/panthers/onsi/xavier-legette-s-offseason-focus-could-help-unlock-panthers-wr I am going to be totally honest here: If I had to bet Xavier Legette would pass or fail--well, maybe catch on or drop (pun obviously intended), my money--err, pie in Zod's coming Huddle wagering system😅), I would pick the latter based upon what I've seen the last couple of years. But, like the writer, Preston Palm✋🏽, says, I'm going to be optimistic. Why not? It's the time of year for it, and I've told y'all before that through my fully grown skepticism, I haven't completely given up on X. I'm rooting for the kid.  X knows he can't have another year like the last, he said it himself: "My main thing is just to have a better year. I can't have another year like last year, I can't do that." He knows what's on the line. He's not dumb, however much some of you want to equate being country, or, more specifically, "talking country," with being dumb (which is kind of dumb in itself, but I digress...). X knows what's on the line, very clearly. As such, he has made some changes according to Palm ✋🏽, "Legette has looked noticeably thinner at minicamp this year and has reportedly dropped 7-9 pounds, which should alleviate some pressure on his hamstrings and not force as much impact on them every route he runs." You see, part of X's problem the last couple of seasons were his hamstrings, and now, he's focused on "bulletproofing" his hammies.  But of course X's journey hasn't just been about physical misfortunes and injuries, he knows that he hasn't displayed the best football, so he's embracing the pressure to perform, and likens it to what he did at USC (the southern version *sarcasm present*) during his time there. He exploded on the scene during his senior year, so hopefully he'll do something similar in year three of the NFL. Though we've recently seen some receivers breakout sooner, many receiver still don't break out until their third season due to the complexity of NFL route trees and such. I've never been an X hater, but I'm a realist. Still, I'm looking for X to make the jump. That would be the best for all involved.  
    • Tort is a fuging asshole. But, I love that he will keep starting Hart.
