Albert Breer also has us taking Fields, believes Tepper is pushing for it.

So you're firmly predicting that not only are they going to draft another quarterback, but they're also not going to pick up his fifth year option?

Again, do you have any source other than your own opinion on this?

I'm saying this franchise is actively looking for their future franchise QB.  That Sam is a one year lotto ticket.  They are going to scratch the ticket and see what it is.  And I agreed with kicking Sam's tires.  Why not. 

You got a source that says different? That says my take is wrong? If not, I'll keep on with it. 

Everyone here is sharing opinions.  Including you.

You don't really know what the Panthers think of him. None of us do.

My source is that we negotiated for weeks over the Darnold trade. That's common knowledge. You don't negotiate for weeks over a trade if you actually really want a guy. We were obviously okay with losing him over peanuts.

Yeah. Verge's statements that were not likely to take a quarterback at #8.

But even with what Verge says, I'm acknowledging that none of us really know what the Panthers are going to do.

You're talking as if you have complete inside knowledge.

Well, that isn't the bar being talked about for a first round draft pick.

It is the bar being set for a failed draft pick.  If Sam turned into a Delhomme.....it would be worth it from our perspective IMO.

That's your logic?

You think if you really want a guy you'd just talk about it once and then give up? Seriously?

You do remember that the Jets weren't initially willing to trade him, right? Yet we kept talking to them.

This is how I feel about it.

If you think Watson was a realistic plan A you are living in a fantasy world. You can't trade for someone that wasn't being offered for trade. Thanks to the legal mess, it doesn't appear as if we'll know how things would have turned out between the Texans and Watson.

If/When they pick up Darnold's option, he won't be a one year rental.

Completely forgot about them being interested in Haskins. Maybe we shouldn't trust them to pick a QB at all.

Bro, you gotta stop with these multiple quotes. No one engages with you because they don't feel like editing out your posts to get to the quote that pertains to them. Just make multiple posts.

Jake was closer to winning a superbowl than Cam. I'm willing to take that for Darnold. Hopefully there won't be a bad kick and a Patriots victory again though.

It was reported the Jets refused to negotiate until after the QB pro days. That doesn't mean the negotiations took weeks, it just means the Jets weren't ready to do business at that point.

C'mon man. You're not actually this obtuse. Everyone is always unwilling to trade a guy until they get the price they want. The fact of the matter is that we negotiated this trade for weeks and landed on a 4th and future 2nd and 6th. If we actually really wanted him we wouldn't have let this linger for weeks negotiating over relative peanuts risking another team scooping him up out from under our nose. We wanted Darnold only at the relatively low price we paid.

I post on the huddle.  I'm going to talk as if David Tepper himself is sitting right here beside me.

See above.

I'm not buying it.  If Tepper wanted to make sure he got his QB he would have traded up to the 3rd pick (outbid SF) and ensured he got the best of the three remaining.

Tepper hasn't been outspoken about what he wants and I can't see how Breer got the inside scoop. 

Click Bait if you ask me.

Don't worry about it, it's not. You'll find a lot more engagement if you keep the quotes limited to one
