Mitchell "titty kisser" Trubisky is the best play for the Carolina Panthers in 2022. It is not a perfect situation, but you play the cards you're dealt. 

Situation

- Panthers do not have a quarterback and conservatively have 2 pieces of an offensive line. For where the team is and what the modern NFL is like, nothing else really matters unfortunately.

- It does not matter what the Panthers gave up for Sam Darnold or what they're paying him. He is the definition of a sunk cost, and there's no point dwelling on it. What's done is done. He cannot go into another season as a starter. He is toast. 

- The Panthers do not have a lot of draft picks. They have one coveted first rounder that they need to either A.) land an O Line starter with or B.) use to trade for more picks. Drafting a QB does not help them this year (unless they manage to draft Herbert) and sticks the presumptive next coaching staff a player they might want nothing to do with. 

Why Mitch

- He does not cost any draft picks. They can just sign him. This lets them address the offensive line.

- Money doesn't matter. I know this is a controversial statement, but they can manage to overpay him because as long as David Tepper can drop those signing bonuses up front anything is possible. 

- Local kid. Played at UNC. Fan base would eat it up. Tepper would love the local angle. Buys goodwill. 

- Was in a rough situation in Chicago. Final season stats there were not that bad, far better than anything Darnold had done. Has spent a year in Buffalo under a coaching staff that turned a similar big armed idiot into an MVP candidate. 

- Loves to kiss titties.

If it works

- All is well. You have a big armed local kid playing in what should be a weak division that squeaks the panthers into the playoffs, probably loses in the first round, lets the panthers restock the draft pick cabinet, gets darnold off the books, can renegotiate his contract, everyone looks like a genius. 

If it doesn't work

- As long as you structured his contract so he's easy to cut after two years, who cares. Fire everyone, hopefully you solidified the o line, bring in a new staff, move on from there.

If I was forced to sign a QB in free agency I'd much rather have Marcus Mariota than Mitch. Ultimately any sign or trade that isn't for Watson is just a waste of time and resources. Take either the safe option in Pickett or gamble with the upside of Willis in the draft.

First and foremost, we’re going to keep swinging and missing on the better QBs. This would happen after that all fails.  My guess is we’ll be staring at either signing a freshly released Wentz or drafting Pickett/Willis. Hell, I’d take a Nick Mullens and CJ Beathard over Mitch.

I consider Mariota a Tier above Trubisky. Trubisky is in the "Low expectations very unlikely to work out but still better than what we have" Tier and Mariota is in the "Good enough to be just good enough but not good enough to carry a team and win in the playoffs" Tier or "QB Purgatory" as it is known.

He's not coming here. He's already endured a dumpster fire in Chicago under Nagy. That's why he jumped on the opportunity to go to Buffalo as a clear backup without shopping for a potential situation to compete for a starting job. He was looking for a reset in a stable situation. He's not going to jump right back into a dumpster fire. I honestly think he'd resign in Buffalo as the backup before he'd come here to compete for the starting job. He knows he almost certainly only has one more opportunity to legit compete for a starting job. He's not going to waste that on a situation like ours where failure is virtually guaranteed.

Sorry, that's just the sad reality.

He should have been our offseason target over Sam Darnold but it's too late for another reclamation project now. Just draft one and if it doesn't work out swing again next year.

Yep. When we were busy getting wrecked at the negotiating table by the Jets, we should've been either signing Trubisky or trading much less to Jacksonville for Minshew. Better QBs at much better prices. But no... let's trade real assets for the statistically worst starting QB in the NFL in recent memory and then pick up his option to boot!

That's "the process" at work. 1000%

      Monroe Freeling’s lovely GF

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
