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....

      You honestly think Tampa would have traded down with a division rival so their rival could land a “generational player” at a massive position of need for TB?   bruh

      The Carolina Huddle

      Ya'll better quit throwing shots at Zod. He'll come in here and ban everybody. I had a friend @prosource who was banned in 2015 because he said some very minor things about Zod being an ass to the posters on the main forum after starting the All-Pro one. He said he felt like another level is cool, but don't punch down on people that don't want All-Pro. (He did say that it wasn't going to last long anyways.🤔) I distinctly remember him calling and being like "dude, I got banned, my profile says I don't have access to the Huddle!") I feel like once Tepper came in and cut off all unofficial access to the team, Zod was going to be around less. The All-Pro board had really good photos, even in game stuff, and I remember seeing him behind a little fenced in area at Wofford for non team sanctioned press/photographers after Tepper bought the team. I knew then his ego wouldn't allow him to continue with past fervency and effort with that reduction in access. Dude was literally in the locker room when JR was owner.  I came over in 2011 immediately after finding out this place existed. I was super involved with the Charlotte forum, and fell off after its demise. I will never forget arguing Pep over Ryan Sims on that forum! Who is Ryan Sims some of you may ask? My answer is exactly!

      And not see him running free. Because has been free a lot more than he gets credit for.    Now what XL does with that when he does see the ball, is on him.
