After the cap goes up Darnolds 5th year is going to be CHEAP. He’s also at the very least a capable backup. His first three games were mid-level starter quality. He was playing well. QBs like him are desirable for good teams who want a steady backup. 
 

There are also QB injuries that will happen as well. Don’t underestimate the ego of an NFL coach who thinks he’s the right one for a player. Plus…Darnold has a ton going against him right now. CMC is out, OL is a sieve, WRs have brick hands. There is some OC Out there who will convince his GM it’s worth the pic to have him on the team.

 

Got to get a capable starter first though

What evidence has he shown that he'd be a capable backup?

At this point, I don't think he'd qualify to even be a team's Waterboy!  🤦‍♂️

      Wild Idea.. Trade for Shemar Stewart

      By WUnderhill · Posted

      Let’s be real, there’s no way the Bengals can trade him for less than first round value from an optics stand point.

      The Franchise guy Panthers 2025 deep dive overview

      Disclaimer:  In June, I am usually optimistic.  In October, a policeman with a bullhorn is telling me that I have a lot of life ahead of me and to think about my loved ones as I gaze down upon him from my rooftop.   Having said that, I think our offense (down the stretch) was good enough to play KC and Philly tough.  So how many games would this offense have won if they played the entire season like they did in November-January and if they had a better defense?   If you could stretch the last nine games over an entire season and put a solid defense on the other side, I see 5 wins becoming 7 or 8.  Down the stretch, the Panther D surrendered 30 points or more in 5 of the final 7 games and managed to win 2 of those 5.  If they can win 40% of games in which their defense surrenders 30 points or more, then the math indicates, had that been the case all season, the Panthers should have won 6 or 7 games with their defense surrendering 30+ points.   This season, we are much better at WR (TMac, Renfrow, Horn, and I expect XL to be a lot better).  Bryce is confident and now a leader.    The Achilles' heel of the 2024 defense, the DL, seems to be very solid.  We got back Horn and Jackson on the corners, Smith-Wade is improving better than expected, we signed a stud Safety.  Derrick Brown returns.  While the D is not there yet, it is going to be better.   So if we ended the second half of 2024 playing at a level that should have produced 6-7 wins, better WRs and a better defense could result in 9 wins or more.
