Yes it was stupid but ultimately won’t really matter at all. We’ve got a ton of cap space and won’t be able to find a QB before then anyways and won’t be competitive so that wasted cap space really doesn’t matter that much.

Ever since cap spaced can be rolled over, ALL wasted cap space matters, because it's always money that could have been better spent at some point in time.

wrong

Cap space rolls over.  All of this money that we wasted on Sam and Teddy could have been used to help whatever QB we find in the future.  Maybe one day we draaft a QB, that $50m would help improve an O-line alot.

meh…what hurts more is a we gave up a 2nd and 4th…both appearing to be a high pick due to the trade itself…oh the irony

 

That hurts bad for a team that needs all the picks they can get to rebuild this o-line. We'd probably just draft more defensive players anyway

wrong, only a certain amount can be rolled over after a certain amount is spent by the team itself and after a certain amount is spent by all NFL teams in general, and only in a certain timeframe

then again you could be right but I have no idea if all the criteria was met

Without even seeing him throw a pass in a Panthers uni. Terrible decisions like this is the reason we will never be a consistent winner. Stop plucking players from franchises that have been sh*t for decades lol We are literally the Jets South

Who. Cares? 
 

You guys are way too focused on “cap space” with the Darnold contract. Focus on how much talent the team has for the amount of cap space available. Even with Darnold on the roster and a terrible deal we are in the top half of the league in cap space for 2022 and top 10 in 2023.

I’m not saying it doesn’t matter. But you know who’s at the bottom of the league and deals their draft picks and hands out deals like the league will end tomorrow? The Rams. The Cowboys. The Packers. The Bills. Want to know what they move assets for? To win now. 

Find a QB at all costs. Trade picks. Sign over the cap. Who cares. Win now. That’s what this league is…

You are talking about a very specific scenario that really doesn't apply here..  What we spent on Teddy would have rolled over to this year. 

Even if you reach a point where its not rolling over you extend a core player early and use that cap space to basically pre pay a lot of his contract.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By cranky · Posted

      I can't help but think that you are equating physical attributes alone with wins. I don't subscribe to that thought. No one will argue that Young has a strong arm, but he makes up for it in other ways. The real limitation for him is he needs good route runners with great hands. That's why Young was so good at the end of the 24 season. Thielen and Coker were perfect receivers for him and he had his best games with them. Not having them to start the 25 season hurt. Look at the first 10 games in 25 with a rookie receiver and no Coker and then look at the final 7 games with a more experienced rookie and Coker back and there is a telling difference in Young's performance. Prior to week 10, Young had 1 game with a QB rating above 100, 2 games with a rating above 90 and 6 games with a rating below 90. In the last 7 games with Coker back, Young had 3 games with a QB rating above 100, 2 games with a rating above 90 and only 2 games with a rating below 90. The tools a QB has to work with matter more than their arm strength.  To go back to Darnold and Stafford, yes they both have great arm strength but neither had much success with that alone. As I already pointed out, Stafford, even with a canon for an arm, only had 4 winning seasons in his first 12 years. It was only when he went to the right environment that he had true success.

      Report: Panthers great Luke Kuechly being eyed for big TV job

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      I don't love this role for him if I'm being totally honest The pregame show is much more flash than substance and doesn't seem like the right fit for what Luke would bring to the table, and that's his vision of the game. I'd like to see him do something where it more involves him breaking down film and explaining what he's seeing out there, as he sees the game in a way very few ever have.
