Which trade was worse 2nd for Darnold or 3rd for Henderson?

Eh, neither on their own.  Henderson was worth a 3rd.  Ideally he'll contribute significantly more next year and he'll be worth it for sure.  Even if he's worth holding onto as a high end backup he'd be worth a 3rd.  Darnold was an overpay but QB's pretty much always go for a premium.

My problem is both of them in the same season really depleting our draft capital coming up.

All in all, probably not that big of a deal.  We'll trade down a few spots and make up for at least one of them if not both plus more.

Personally I'm ok with both deals.  In the grand scheme of things, they likely don't matter all that much beyond Darnold making this a wasted season.  It becomes a bigger problem if they keep taking every "can't miss deal" on every busted player with potential.

We’ve made two terrible back to back decisions at QB alone. We aren’t too far from this assessment(If not already there) from those moves alone.

Marcus Mariota is your starting QB next September and you’ll like it for the first few weeks, when the headlines are “Mariota, Panthers Off To Hot Start” but once December rolls around you’ll get your annual dose of “Mariota Benched, Panthers Drop 10th Straight”

Right now, it all feels like poo because we keep losing.  I get it, it sucks.

The owner and coach ran Teddy out (and most of us were happy to see him go, let's be honest).  We needed a QB, and the team wasn't quite sold on Fields being ready to contribute or Jones' ability to be the QB we wanted.  When we traded for Darnold, I was hopeful.  He was leaving a dumpster fire.  We didn't quite realize he was the one with the gasoline and matches...  But we took a risk, and I'm ok with a 2nd round pick (we made up for the value via other trades) on a QB.

Henderson is a very talented man corner.  He's having a rough go right now.  It was a potential trade.  Trading Arnold away was something the team was willing to do because they thought Tremble was ready to be the man.

I think the MUCH larger issue isn't these two moves, it was the decision to try to be a power team without power players.

It’s just compounded now because the Darnold trade and picking up his 5th year option was some epic level failure.

why do people keep bitching about the fifth year option

who cares

the cap isn't real in the nfl and money is no issue for the owner. It's not like we're the raiders who couldn't physically pay for khalil mack

i think at the time picking up the fifth year option was a way to boost his confidence which is its own different bag of poo, to be fair, but if you trade for him thinking you can turn him around you absolutely don't let him do it without another year in place.

      Are the Panthers a "Trap Game" for the Hawks?

      By trucpfan · Posted

      This is huge may not be a trap game but this plays a major part in what they want to do. If we can get some pressure on Sam we know what he does with pressure coming hit and heavy. Also we may be able to take the top off their defense a backup safety trying to stop TMac or Cooker over the top or forcing him to play the backend should allow us to run the ball somewhat effectively. Either they allow some runs or we take some shots and if Bryce and whoever can connect deep we’ll be in business for another big time win against a top notch opponent. Might not be a trap game but health travel game plans all play a major role in each weeks game plan and this week might be leaving our way. We’re missing some replaceable pieces they’re missing key anchors to the offense and defense major difference time to solidly ourselves at one of the top teams in the nfc tomorrow fellas buckle up.

      Give Legette another season?

      Yes.  If I am not mistaken, we need to sign Coker to the ERFA tender and insist that XL spends his spring and summer at a WR camp and not Coon huntin on his four wheeler.  XL was raw when we picked him--which is why I wanted to go another direction--and we are seeing how raw.  He is basically learning a position.     The Panthers will make their move in 2026 to be an NFL powerhouse behind Bryce.  Bryce needs intelligent WRs who catch the ball.  That said, we need a solid #2 to challenge XL and make cutting him easy, if necessary.  A #2 WR (intented to be a #1 by now) with under 400 yards is embarrassing.   On offense, you have to ask, "Where can we get better?"  In my view, #2 WR, TE (although they are improving) and maybe C (again, if we re-sign Mays, he is trending up and at 26, entering his prime--I say stay with him and find competition later in the draft (not good for C).  OL depth maybe?  In other words, XL is a glaring weak spot.
