What was actually being said was that Darnold was only a just in case / last resort / insurance pickup because the team didn't believe any of the top five quarterbacks would fall to them.

Clearly, that turned out to be wrong seeing as two of the top five were available to us and we passed on both.

Uhh, apparently you hear what you want, just to be able to argue.

What I read said otherwise, basically that Darnold wouldn’t stop the tram

from taking a QB they really liked. 

Hey LinvilleGorge, did you ever say they would take any of the top 5 QBs?

Look in the thread about Albert Breer mocking Fields to the Panthers.

You'll see multiple posters calling Darnold a fallback plan or "insurance". Also stating that it's so obvious they can't imagine how anybody doesn't see it.

He was our fallback plan.

We couldn’t get Stafford, we couldn’t get Watson, after San Fran traded up we probably felt like we couldn’t draft a QB  that we really wanted so we signed Darnold.

The team felt like he was our best option that was realistic.  That doesn’t mean they wouldn’t have took a QB they really liked it by the small chance he fell.

Also by calling him insurance doesn’t imply the team would have took any of the top 5 QBs.  Nobody said that. 

Honestly we would have preferred Stafford, or Watson, Trevor, probably Wilson also.  Since they tried to trade to 3 there is a very good chance they liked a third QB, apparently not Fields😀.

None of us know for sure, what if the Jets took Fields, and Wilson fell.  Maybe we were high enough on Wilson to take him with Darnold on the team. 
 

That is all people were saying, that the cost of Darnold wouldn’t prevent the team from taking someone if they really liked them.  Not sure why you all argued about that as much as you did.

Yeah, sure 🙄

I'm not interested in talking in circles with you dude. Spin it however you want. The team is committed to Darnold.

      Bryce Young is the worst QB in Panthers History

      By jb2288 · Posted

      agree to disagree you are entitled to that opinion even though I find the argument completely bizarre based on data. I could type out a long paragraph discussing those areas but what’s the point. I posted a screenshot that showed Bryce in a similar post snap situation with a free rusher in his face which resulted in a TD - that’s what happened on the play so I posted it.

      I've already addressed this notion in a previous reply. You are basing your assertion outside reality if you think Bryce would have not only been more successful but defeated the Patriots in place of Herbert. Bryce got blown off the field by that Patriots team with the highest paid OL in the league. We've seen Bryce with an OL that gave up 65 sacks and it resulted in the #1 pick. And that is not a defense of Herbert or arguing he is a great QB in any way. He has physical talent but he has been similar to Darnold early in his career in terms of his very up and down perfomances. However that does not change the fact that they have significantly less invested in the OL than the Panthers.

      This Bryce Guy (General BY Discussion)

      I think Tepper has been setting the stage where pending there is no miracle he wipes it all clean.  Think you already have been told that with small things like Evero staying.  Bryce is the guy next year.  OC, DC, everything stays the same.  QB room largely the same.  Nothing would really matter there.  They basically get one more shot and it goes how the schedule paired with our 27th ranked O predictably most likely goes.  Everyone out the door together.  Bryce is a bridge tier QB.  I don’t see Dave surviving where he could be bridge QB here in reality.
