He’s been that way before he was “shell shocked” dude just doesn’t have the brains/processing for the position.

Yep. But he probably still has the brains to cash some serious paychecks next year, ones like you and I will never see the likes of. He gets those whether he's sitting on a couch or a bench. We might as well see if we can get something out of him because we sure won't get anything for him without it costing us even more.

And we aren't getting that draft pick back either.

I kept saying we should have taken Mac Jones instead but nobody was wanting to hear any of that. So now I've been trying to be the good guy and spent the season polishing this turd Fitterer and Rhule were so proud of.

we can't let the fact that we made a bad decision impact our future decisions. the reality is now even if we trade sam + a second rounder in order to get cap room for reddick then that is the equivalent of trading reddick for a 2nd rounder which we all would do in a heart beat

 

it is what it is, but trade the man and anything but a 1st to keep gilmore/djax and reddick

Not really. Regardless of what happens with Cam there is nothing wrong with discussing how we can get out of Darnold’s terrible contract.
 

Sam being an awful QB and having a laughable cap hit next year has nothing to do with whether or not Cam is here.

Darnolds contract isnt terrible if he has some utility. We have paid guys 10s of millions after they were cut or injured. Sam was good and then very bad but I dont think the staff is so down on him like fans are. I would expect him to come in and compete for the starting job next offseason. Sitting the bench which he has never done might be good for him. Plus having a vet like Cam could help him as well.  And lets be real, Cam is on an 8 game tryout.  There is no guarantee he will be great either. Lets wait until the offseason to decide what we are going to do.

Just laugh out loud at Mac Jones. You guys are just as bad at identifying talent at qb as Matt rhule is.

Darnold serves no purpose here. He’s not getting any better. This is who he is.

Why do people want to keep Darnold?

With the way practice squad’s are setup now there is absolutely no reason to keep more than two QB’s on the roster (as soon as Cam is up to speed Matt Barkley will be cut).

Draft a QB that can learn under Cam, get rid of Darnold, and let’s close the book on him.

Keeping him does nothing for Darnold or the Panthers.

In fact, keeping Darnold prohibits the Panthers from planning for the future.

ultimately we're going to have to hope that a lot of QB's go down with serious injuries in the offseason or early into next year and are willing to pay for darnold

 

darnold is bad but he's got one more team in him before he's booted from the league

I really don’t think so. I think he’s done. He might catch on at a training camp but that’s about it

      XL about to turn the corner

      We keep referring to it as Over drafting him like he was really a first round draft pick. We traded up at the end of the first to get him in a deal with Buffalo so that we could grab him and get an extra year on his contract if needed. At the time that sounded like "If he really soars, we can get that fifth year extension automatically". It really probably meant, "We might need five years to really get him up to starting WR speed."  He was basically a second rounder with a potentially meaningless pick as well to pay for those rights. Still, I think that with him we are on the Kelvin Benjamin bubble right now... will he ever be more than just an athlete? Can he really learn to fight and compete for that ball? Can he learn professional routes? Can he handle the fame and more money than he's ever seen in his life? Can he handle all of the pressure a fanbase puts on him? Tough shoes to fill. Not sure I'd want to be in them. I hope he gets it all together soon. A lot, most draftees, can't. Good luck and God bless to the young man. He's got a lot of work to do in a very unforgiving workplace.

      This is the #1 reason I defend Bryce. Everyone around him is learning on the job, including him. But hey in 3 years we could have a talented offense that grew up together.

      Nope. No balling out but he could latch on as a backup elsewhere. I still think he would be the weak link on a ridiculously loaded team that would create problems in the Playoff and while facing other really good teams. His limitations are just to much at this level. I have zero fear of playing him in the future. It's a litmus test for the D, granted the D is pretty awful currently so none needed.
