Look, I'm not fan of Sam Darnold either.  He sucks.

But of course the HC and GM are going to express support for him.  Why?  Because it quite frankly makes the most sense to stick with him in 2022.  We made a dumb error of committing $18m to him.  None of the QBs are worth drafting where we're picking.  So the only way you move on is if you are able to swing a trade for one of the top QBs.  But there is no guarantee that is going to happen.  So why throw your QB under the bus before you have to?

That is what we did with Teddy last year, and it is probably the biggest reason we had to trade him.  Otherwise you keep Teddy and never make the horrendous Darnold trade.  Right now we need stop doubling down on mistakes.  You stick with Darnold unless you can secure Watson or one of the other young elites.  And even if you get Watson you're gonna probably need Darnold for 6-10 games next year.

I don't see how Rhule keeps his job if he sticks with Darnold next year. I don't know if Fitterer is tied to Rhule or not.

      T-Mac Jerseys?

      Not totally inaccurate, haha Except that kid wasn't as excited as I was.  I was yelling louder, and more, and running around the room in circles until I almost passed out from exhausting and was trying to catch my breath for a good 10 minutes because I'm way too old to be doing that, LOLOL Oh, and I tweaked a muscle in my shoulder from all the fist pumping I was doing too. For as awesome as that pick was for me, it really screwed me up for a few days between my shoulder and lost voice (Wrexham securing back-to-back-to-back promotions Saturday afternoon contributed to that though too).

      Getting Pierce jr isn’t forfeiting the pick they just had 2 1sts this year.

      Full disclosure and the real reason.... I'll be seeing my Nephew in basically one month from today, and while I've gotten him stuff from my other teams the past year, I hadn't been willing to saddle him with Panthers stuff yet, that's now changed lol. So if the jersey would get to me before I see him, I'd get that and him his first Panthers onesie/shirt so I can get a picture of us together in them. If it wouldn't get to me by then, I'd just wait to get the one I prefer.  So yea, my rush is really just about trying to get a picture of myself in it with my Nephew in Panthers gear too.
