Darnold getting MRI on shoulder.

I don't think that Darnold was coddled. I think that the lack of competition, the signing of the extension... These were signs of the hubris of this coaching staff.  So sure of their ability to rehabilitate any player that they thought they could turn around a guy's career while failing to give him the actual support he needed on the football field or in the QB room.  That's the thing.  Bringing in a seasoned vet that has had decent success as a backup isn't about competition, IMO.  It is about another set of eyes.  Getting a guy behind Darnold that has seen things, that can offer insight, etc.  What the heck can PJ (or Grier, had we kept him) offer Darnold? Nothing.

If they were REALLY going to treat Darnold like a rookie, they should have built around him like one: A veteran backup to help him.  A good OL.  Etc.  We did pick up a nice TE, which is every young QB's best friend... but we then traded that TE for a guy that has barely played (well, and a 3rd round pick ... ).

Anyway... Darnold needs to SIT. He's done. We've continued fuging him the way the Jets started.  Just get it over with and IR him.

The Panthers picked  up the fifth-year option on Sam Darnolds rookie contract. This means he will now make $18.9 million for the 2022 season. 

Will some salary cap wise person,please inform me about the amount of salary cap hit the team would take if they release him in 2022. Also,how could we get around paying him other than a  trade, which would be almost impossible to find an interested team?.

Its 18.9 for next year and there is absolutely no way around not paying it.

    • Yeah I'm still not sure about Canales' play calling but I'll give him another season. Still can't quite figure out why you think Young won't work out. His numbers with Theilen are as good as any QB Theien's ever had - including the three games he has started with Rogers this year. Cokers' numbers are as good as Theilens and he is an UDFA and TMac is in the run for ORTY with Young as his QB. Young's throwing more accurately now (from 21.5% in 23 to 16.5% this year) and he has shown he can make the throws in clutch moments. If you take into account he was saddled with XL, Chark, Mingo and Johnson for receivers at one point, had a coaching staff his first year that didn't want him and a current coach who is suspect at play calling, I'm not sure he has been as bad as people here say. I know he has had terrible moments/games but most qb's still on their rookie contract will.  Anyway, had to give my weekly BY plug. Guess I thought this was the perfect time lol.
    • He missed a lot of time. Was slow getting back up to speed. And we have an offense that is not exactly WR friendly so his targets were low.  How many targets does anyone get when you have 120 yards passing, 54 yards passing, 160 yards, most of the time? It probably took the time it needed to take.
    • The 5th year option jus gives them a little more time to make their decision and figure out the position going forward.  The idea that it means hes def gonna get a extension is asinine.
