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.

      RBA Contract Extension Pulled

      Multiple sports media outlets reporting the contract extension for RBA might be off the table. https://www.thescore.com/nhl/news/2904953

      Where would the Panthers be if they sat Bryce Young last season?

      Yea we easily win 6-7 games with Dalton but prefer the way it played out in getting the HC and GM fired

      Hypothetical offseason question. If the Panthers sat Bryce in 2023 and played Dalton instead, where would the Panthers be going into 2024? One thing is certain, things would be VERY different.  1) Frank Reich doesn’t get fired. Dalton is a veteran and operated Frank’s offense far more effectively in the one game he started than Bryce did. The Panthers likely look a lot more competent early on and Frank doesn’t get fired mid-season. Caveat - It’s also been quietly mentioned in some media outlets that Frank and the staff preferred to draft CJ Stroud and might have tanked the season intentionally to get fired, all speculation. But the vanilla offensive scheme might have been a coincidence due to lack of talent and competence, or perhaps malicious compliance.  2) The Panthers wouldn’t have been the worst team in the NFL. The defense was fairly good in 2023 despite the fact the offense was the worst in the NFL with Young under center. With a veteran starting at QB, the offense would possess the ball for longer periods of time and could have lead to even better performances from the defense.  3) Scott Fitterer doesn’t get fired. A move I think was needed either way, but if the Panthers resembled anything in the way of competency in 2023, Fitterer doesn’t get the axe especially because they hadn’t seen what Bryce can do on the field yet.  4) David Tepper doesn’t throw a drink at a fan. I think we’re all tired of the owner of this franchise embarrassing the fans with his immature behavior but hey, I have to imagine that his rage wouldn’t have been at level 10 if they hadn’t had the disaster of a season they did in 2023. 5) Bryce has a good 2024? Biggest leap I can make in this speculation but I think if Bryce sat in 2024, and the team makes similar moves to build the offense around him, he would come into a much better situation after having a chance to learn on the bench behind a veteran instead of the situation he was thrust into.    We will never know how this would have played out but it is fun to speculate!
