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

He's IS a bust looking to resurrect his career. Let's not gloss over three years of terrible play and pretend like he's basically a rookie.

We all exist as a sort of relationship rather than an independent entity, as the mind tends to assume. We know how Darnold played in New York, but part of his play was most certainly the circumstances around him. We don't know what he will or will not be here imho. New coaching, new roster, new outlook, etc.

"The" Sam Darnold of New York effectively no longer exists.

they brought him in for a year to kick the tires.  see what is there.  we got nothing else going on.  I'm cool with that.  

this narrative we are all in on Darnold as anything more than the above, should draft around Sam being our QB, etc is what I ain't buying. 

I've never said that they are all in on Darnold. I have said they should give him a fair shake with a better team around him and hopefully better coaching than he has had. Unless they draft a QB tomorrow night, they could be planning on giving Darnold that fair shake. We'll have to wait and see. Either way, I'll be glad when the draft is over.

Who is he going to compete with if they don't draft a QB? Walker? Grier? A mid round developmental QB?

Any of those aren't competition.

Darnold is not solely competing on who is on the immediate roster but against the future QB the Panthers will look to replace him with if he doesn't look good enough. Same way Teddy dropped the ball and has now been shipped out.

that comment was directed at you specifically. 

I mean, if they draft a QB tomorrow night, I still expect them to kick the Sam Darnold tires in 2021 and see what he has.

And Brees has us taking Fields per Tepper. Another exchange of opinions. If Darnold had a cloud over his head over Teddy he isn’t going to cut it as a starter in this league...

I don't think that means Darnold had a cloud over that way. I think they meant that Teddy was the starter and since he is gone, Darnold is the starter now. Could be wrong though.

If Darnold plays and proves to be a good starter or franchise guy, any future QB drafted will not be competition just like Grier was never competition for Cam, or Rodgers competition for Favre.

If they draft a QB at 8, they won't kick the tires on Darnold for long, if at all. The pressure to start the rookie will be too high.

Agree, with Teddy as QB1 and Fields as backup or 3rd string, Sam would really need to show something fast in order to preserve his spot on the roster.

If Darnold proves that he is our guy to the Panthers FO then I hope they do build around him. However, until then he will always be competing against who is on the roster or who will be on the roster. At this moment I see little reason to believe he is no different from Teddy when he arrived last season.

Sam means you can bring the rookie in when ready....not out of desperation.   Like was the case with Sam Darnold as rookie.   And if Sam surprises and shines? So be it.   That wouldn't be a bad thing.

Last year all I heard was how much better Brady's system was going to make Teddy. They know what they're getting and they know Teddy can run this system. They're not dumb.

People seem to ignore this. Fitterer states this doesn’t take them out of getting a QB. He also states it allows them to take the BPA or make moves. They didn’t want to go into the draft with any needs...

You remember what time of year this is, right?

The flipside of my statement is that if Darnold doesn't play well and with the way this regime has done QBs, he won't be here long enough to compete with anyone. The only way Darnold has competition this year is if they draft a QB high. Otherwise, the job is Darnold's unless injured.

    • He was hurt last game, that's why Rico got more touches.  It's the NFL and injuries are the norm. They did right and went out and got a back that can run. Now prove they chose wisely 
    • He was a project coming out of college and seeing that he doesn’t care much he won’t make it IMO
    • My very UNPOPULAR opinion:   First, I would want to know the locker room.  Have they turned on Canales?  If not, I would stay with him.  Here is why: Switching coaches every year or two is not the answer to long term success.  We are chasing hope instead of building a program around a young coach.  There were not many applicants for this job and if you think they are suddenly dying to be here now, that MIGHT justify a coaching change Canales has made some tough decisions (like benching Bryce), but his weaknesses (the team's weaknesses) have been in the areas in which we have neglected or sucked for years.  Who did we get for CMC?  Who made the trade with the Bears when we had no idea at the time who we wanted?  Who drafted Mingo, Marshall, XL, etc.?  Who signed a frequently-injured CB to the biggest contract in NFL history at the time for a CB?  I look at the personnel decisions and the play calling.  Our edge players are injured and not that good when healthy. He played Johnson because he had nothing left.  Johnson was terrible Sunday.  He has nothing at LB and two starting OL are now out.  XL is pouting because he does not seem to have paid the price to be paid the price of a first round pick.  AT was sent packing.  Bryce's resurgence last year may have been Canales and not Bryce. Evero still does not have the tools he needs to succeed--on the field or perhaps between his ears.   If Canales fires Evero, he is probably doing the right thing.  Remember, we had a lot of money in dead cap when Canales took over.  Fitterer was the worst GM since Matt Millen in the NFL, and we have sucked recently in the first round of the draft (Bryce, XL) until this season.   When the GM is trying to give the coach what he needs to be successful and you keep changing coaches, it is difficult.   I think this--stay with Canales, but bring in a veteran DC.  Some argue that Canales needs to move on from Bryce, but this team is not set up to give him options.  Andy aint the answer.  We never seem to take the PS QB seriously--all eggs are in one basket.  Canales needs options. This team needs to address the QB situation.  Bryce's best games are not Lombardi worthy, so move on.  He is not the Alpha a young coach needs on the field.  Give him options at QB, some LBs and a good coordinator on defense, and I think we could use another stud WR.  It is time to start drafting developmental OL and start grooming them to replace our aging OL. This draft is solid at QB as it stands now.  We need to focus on drafting the right guy and signing a veteran backup who is not the starting QB's BFF.  Compete.  Heck, i have no problem doing what Cleveland did--draft a QB in round 1 and then another QB if one falls into day 3.   I think we need stability and I am not confident any respectable coach comes to Carolina.  Canales is frustrated, but the front office has failed him, as have injuries, and a really bad draft a few years ago that brought them Bryce.  He was hired to fix Bryce--so I say neuter him so he does not sire any more 5'8" QBs.   Canales is better that Rivera was--Canales just has so much less talent.  Rivera was coach of the year a few times because he had Cam Newton, but could never put two winning seasons together.  That is a crime.
