Trading for a guy who might not even play? Who brings negative attention to the team? Who might look a lot worse playing for a BAD offensive coaching staff? Sounds like a great plan. 

I was joking but he has played for terrible coaching staffs and had terrible surrounding talent and played terrific. There's no real risk of a massive drop-off here. Its just PR issues.

Lol....Panthers haven't been a factor since cam got hurt. Where were we going to begin with? 

It’s sad too. We had a franchise QB, and it was taken from us at the blink of an eye or a tackle attempt. Screw Kelvin Benjamin.

Having a player like Darnold makes you appreciate Cam even more. I remember you had posters who were tough on Cam from the start, critiquing accuracy and other things. Darnold is everything they bashed Cam for

I get what you’re saying - but you can’t exactly say we would be “set back” when we’ve never been in a great situation anyways.  It’s a SB or bust league.  Heck, we can’t even compete in our own division.  I wouldn’t call going from a constant 3rd in the nfc south to potentially 4th a set back.  The reward outweighs the risk here.  Not saying I would be a fan of the trade, but I don’t think anything can really set us back at this point.

Set back from where?

Well imagine not having any 1st round talent the next 3 seasons, losing key defensive players like Burns and/or Chinn. And having a QB they traded for that won’t play until who knows when.

It can get a LOT worse.

“Unless Watson has all charges dropped and the accusers recant their statements”

This is something everybody has to understand will never happen. Even if he’s innocent. 

Hence why I also said the part about how no one will forget these accusations and the PR nightmare that comes with it.

The only way i could see us losing chinn and Burns is if we are bad AFTER we get watson...and i do mean after he is well settled in here. If you dont get him...you are still bad with no hope for future and they leave anyway wants rookie deals up.

      The Panthers have an effort problem

      By CPcavedweller · Posted

      To me, this seems like they feel they aren't going to be competitive. I can't help but go back to Bryce. Good guy, but he doesn't inspire people to give it their all. He isn't a "leader" that people look to. There is no Smith, Delhomme, Kuechly, Cam, etc. coming in that door.  It has to be Bryce, but biologically speaking, how often is the shortest man in the room going to command the kind of respect that will drive people? It just isn't. That isn't how we are wired. That isn't how any living animal on Earth today is wired.  I just follow the science guys.

      Vick's issue with Reid was that he couldn't take a hit, and he wouldn't go down. Otherwise he was pretty good much of the time.  Mahomes has a system that works. Mahomes doesn't become Mahomes elsewhere because not everyone can extract 125% of the ability of a specific player like Reid can. Kevin O'Connell is beginning to look like he has that ability as well but I'll need to see how he does with his Redshirt Freshman.  I also wonder how much of their playoff issue last year was related to the offense as a whole and not just Darnold. Fans don't really dive into the "why" things happen, they just see the what and complain about it.
