I was thinking they’d roll with PJ considering the Patriots familiarity with Darnold but nah, let’s roll out a guy who’s maybe hurt to play his boogeyman.

Maybe they were just trying to exorcise his demons?

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.

To be honest, I wish he had grabbed Robbie by the shoulder pads and got in his face 

darnold needs to buck  up to the C on his shoulder pads and stop being  everybody’s whipping boy and that’s part of the damned problem

can we get one for joe brady too

Only if it's covered by COBRA.

Wow, so predictable. He won't play another down for the Panthers. I wonder what scrub they will overpay next to "tryout" as QB?

They just need to draft one. Try to sign a solid FA OL or two and a draft a QB.

Matt "the Gase" Rhule is the most incompetent coach I can remember.  He cant be gone soon enough.

[Jackie Lee]

I'm guessing no IR...Don't know if Rhule has the guts to bench him based solely on bad play after that horrific trade and 5th year option

There has to be a Robo Cop joke we can come up with.

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.
