Well, I mean he has been the worst QB in the NFL in recent years...

Yeah I get it. I’m not thrilled about it, he is just nice insurance so we don’t get in some absurd bidding war. There is some potential there, and obviously a good amount of risk...

The sucky part is, IF this happens with SF (and I don't see how, logistically/cap-wise), that'd put GB at the #3 spot in the draft. GB has already invested a 1st on Jordan Love, so I doubt they go QB at #3, which means position player.

This *could* be bad news for the Panthers and their hope for Sewell/Slater/Horn

Side note: Rumor has it, Rodgers is complaining about the lack of WR help. It'd be funny if the Packers used the #3 pick on Chase...considering Rodgers is then gone.

I'm crossing my fingers, toes, arms, legs, eyes and nose hairs in hope.

I'd cross my ears, nostrils and butt cheeks if I could.

Can we do something about this post?  Can we start a thread called "Draft day Therapy?"

I’m still trying to figure out why so many huddlers are taking this person so seriously.

Why are you so special?

you must be one of those with “sources”

Couple of things here...

1) History: Verge has correctly predicted things in the past. That includes stuff that wasn't common knowledge or already out there in the Twitterverse.

2) Corroboration: That tweet from Jonathan Jones just a few pages back? Yeah, Verge had that info hours ago (actually days ago if you wanna get technical).

Is Verge always right? No, but show me someone who is. Even established insiders like Rapoport and Schefter wind up with wrong info because that's just the nature of the beast. Things happen that make teams change their minds. Sometimes nothing happens but a team changes their mind anyway. And of course, there's the steady flow of bullsh-t from teams trying to throw other teams off their trail.

Bottom Line: As with anyone who has or claims to have inside sources, it's an individual choice whether to trust them or not.

For others, do what you think best.

Me? I choose to trust Verge.

I also make a pretty mean lasagna.

I said THEY must be sold on Darnold to trade back. I think they are crazy to think Darnold is the answer so IMO they should draft a falling QB (not Mac) if they are there at 8 for security. If they only QB left by 8 is Mac then draft BPA. 

So your answer for taking another QB is they are crazy in your opinion if they think Darnold is the guy? I'm sure explaining that to Tepper or the press as a solid reason for taking another QB instead of a tackle or whatever would go over well. "Well you see, what happened was there was this guy on this message board that thinks we're nuts..."

Why not take Jones if he is there and they need security for Darnold? Jones is a highly rated QB in this class.

      PFF Best Rookies so far: Two Panthers

      By mav1234 · Posted

      Saw this show up in my new feed. Nice to see a couple of our rookies making it into the top 5 so far, even if it is a pff measure... From https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-top-15-rookies-week-9-2025 ... 4. TE Mitchell Evans, Carolina Panthers (78.7) Evans struggled in the Panthers’ tight win over the Packers, finishing with a 41.8 PFF overall grade — third worst among tight ends this week. He was not targeted in the game and played only one snap in pass protection. He did log 15 run-blocking snaps, and although he earned a 68.9 PFF run-blocking grade in zone looks (seven snaps), his 39.0 mark in gap schemes (second worst for the week) dragged him down to a 46.6 PFF run-blocking grade overall — sixth worst for the week. Despite seeing zero targets over his past two games, Evans still leads the Carolina tight end group with a 74.3 PFF receiving grade. He has caught all nine of his targets for 90 yards, six first downs and two touchdowns. Evans also leads the Panthers’ tight end group in PFF run-blocking grade (72.2). He has recorded a 20.5% positive play rate across 175 snaps.  5. WR Tetairoa McMillan, Carolina Panthers (78.6) McMillan had a better day against the Packers, recording four catches for 46 yards. Most of that production came in the first quarter via two 16-yard catches — one of which he snatched from Carrington Valentine’s hands, who was in perfect position to break up the pass. McMillan accounted for three first downs on the day, although Green Bay was able to limit his impact after the catch, holding him to 0.8 yards after the catch per reception. McMillan now has 41 catches for 558 yards — a top-15 mark. He is also tied for second with 19 explosive gains of 15-plus yards. Three of McMillan’s catches against the Packers came between the numbers, bringing him to 22 for 318 yards and 19 first downs (tied for second most) this season. He owns a 26.1% threat rate and a 76.6 PFF receiving grade between the numbers. He also ranks in the top 10 in explosive gains (10) and yards after the catch per reception (5.5) within that area of the field.
