Darnold might be the next one out the door

This team extended Darnold and Anderson prior to the season too.

Darnold is an $18M dead-money hit as a post-June 1 cut in 2022.

Anderson is an $11M dead money hit, post-June 1 in 2022.

I though Hurn-Dawg had left the Panthers organization?

I think the Anderson extension is more egregious than Sam's but that's just me.

Arguable... can't say your wrong.

But extending Darnold?  Did they actually think he'd perform so well this year under their brilliant leadership that extending him for $18+M was a better bet?  Because, if they did, I question their judgement.

The SAFER bet would have been not to extend him and if, yet again in 2021 he was again Sam Darnold, if they *wanted* to keep him they could keep him at a lesser cost and, if the fool chose to leave anyway, have no impact on the salary cap.

But, like I said, its as if Hurn-Dawg's ghost continues to haunt the GM offices.

after the season, maybe

right now? absolutely not

and not watson. the panthers could have made that move already and chose not to

I don't think Watson would've been allowed to play this season, though, as the NFL would've stepped in.

There's just a less than zero chance they are moving him in the middle of the season.  Sure at the end of the season if this game is the rule rather than the exception.  But anyone claiming to know that outcome yet has spent a little too much time with the mushrooms I think.

Well if we look at it from a cold, analytical standpoint,  he had 4 games (3 of them wins where he threw close to or over 300 yards) where he looked promising.

Then he laid a giant TURD in a punch-bowl today. 

4 solid games to 1 sh-tshow shouldn't be the cause of wanting him to be shipped out of town but the problem is that it showed that with CMC, Sam Darnold doesn't seem to be able to raise his game to the next level.    Granted, it's still early but this recent start illustrates that scenario.

Yep. Honestly the moment a team planned to suit Watson up, he'd end up on the commissioner's exempt list immediately. The only reason he hasn't yet is simply because it hasn't been necessary.

I hope our owner is pissed at what he saw today

Oh you better believe it.

Tepper does not suffer fools gladly.

I bet he's keeping a close eye now on Aaron Rodgers, Russel Wilson, or any other Vet QB out there....

    • I am not sure it should be a ‘sell out to go to the SB’ season. And hope they don’t.  At the same time I was thinking you absolutely must find out if you want to pay for Bryce or not. That means putting it on him. No protecting and trying to hide weaknesses with the run game and a super conservative calls.  So I wish they would do it and find out, win or lose, 2026. No more developing. Time to do it. Let’s see once and for all. 
    • My biggest fear with Bryce Young is that he will always do just enough to stick around. He shows flashes and then drops a turd so the hopium is always there. Like his career highlight reel if you cut it up to some hype music and did a YouTube video would actually be quite good. His great plays really, really look good. But after that video you look at his yearly averages for completion percentage, yardage, touchdowns, and virtually every other metric and it is meh as fug. Like you know Bryce is gonna be 13/23 for 157 yards a touchdown and probably a pick.  I will 100% give him his flowers for his athleticism and ability to scramble outside the pocket. I haven’t seen the mythical “super processing ability” he was touted for per se, but he has shown flashes of absolutely elite awareness when it comes to scrambling. The little basketball move he does to shake defensive linemen has almost become a signature move. It’s hard to explain but you know it when you see it he stops on a dime and pivots like he is gonna hit a step back jumper and it has gotten him out of a lot of trouble.  I sincerely, truly, as a vocal Bryce HATER, hope that since we are obviously running with him next year the coaching staff actually tailors plays around his strengths. He needs to be in a pure spread IMO. His size is much less of a hindrance when he can play QB in open space. I feel like most of his highlight reel is from scrambles and play action/bootlegs.
