Your solution for the QB situation?

I saw a tweet by someone we all appreciate and it got me thinking of what might be our realistic options to address the QB position.

Lets assume sticking with Darnold isn't an option.  I just don't see Rhule hitching his job to him. 

How are you hoping we address the QB situation this year.  I'll add some specifics to the trades and a few extra choices to the above tweet:

1.  Deshaun Watson for at least three 1st round picks?

2.  Jimmy G for this years 5th and next years 2nd + LT@6

3.  Kenny Pickett at 6, BC at LT, maybe FA guard.

4.  Willis at 6, BC at LT, maybe FA guard.

5.  FA QB (Mariota, Minshew, Winston, ETC) + LT@6

6.  Trade down to around 15, draft QB (Howell, Ridder, or Correl), use newly acquired 2nd round pick on an IOL, and let BC play LT.

 

Address the OLine with the first round Draft pick. Continue to address the OLine in Free Agency. 

Bring in FA competition for Darnold - if Minshew is a FA he'd be at the top of my list.

I was reading its looking likely that Watson will pay the women off. Don’t know how true.

There are ten criminal complaints against him, including at least one by someone who isn't suing him.

And now this...

His taking the fifth doesn't exactly give me positive feelings.

We just need to stay away from that poo all together. It will cost way too much anyway, plus I really don’t want him on the Panthers.

Nope. But his decision making has been...should I say...questionable from the jump.  That's how he got himself into this situation to begin with.

And fools around here want to make him the face of the franchise.  But that's understandable because the owner does also.

I could live with that.

Not so sure Matt Rhule can, though.

What choice should he have?? He ain't putting up a winning record with any rookie from this draft.. His best hope is Fixing Sam or rejuvenating Cam..

Same owner that believed hiring a college coach and giving him full control was a brilliant idea...

He's still in charge, and needs a good season this year to save his ass.

Somehow I don't think options that revolve around building toward the future are going to appeal to him.

That's an interesting word.  At this point, he shouldn't have any choice of QB.  It should be Sam for better or worse.  He made the call to trade future assets for Sam and pay him his 5th year option, without ever seeing him play a down in a Panther uniform.

In a vacuum?  I'd be ok with a cheap veteran to compete with Sam or trade a half eaten sandwich for Nick Foles or something.

I'm not feeling hopeful that Tepper will ever learn. After he acquired the team from an owner that was forced to sell for his behavior, he then turns around and goes all in by going after a player that is accused of the same behavior or worse.

The optics is on that are blind and terribly hypocritical. The league would have to put up or shut up in dealing with the entire situation.

    • Are you guys trying to say that the Cam ‘haters’  exactly mirror the Darnold ‘lovers”? Same people?  I don’t think that is it at all. I think it is more likely to be different people, probably with some overlap. This racism thing, when most of the team and league is Black and people are big fans of plenty of Black players, but have football issues with one or two and that makes them a racist? I don’t understand that at all.   I will tell you also, Sam Darnold at the price he would have cost, and all that cost invested in other areas plus we’d have DJ Moore, was a far better option than what they did.   
    • More of the same, but with actual statistics thrown in with the film review. It's a long one He puts blame on the offense and coaches as well, but doesn't sound too high on Bryce's ceiling. Lots of words but here's the basic summary Young’s lack of arm strength and size creates little room for error in his play. If he takes one extra hitch or is a hair late getting rid of the football, defenders often make plays on the ball or squeeze windows even tighter. The issue is that Young constantly needs to take an extra hitch to get enough zip on the ball when throwing to the outside and he often needs to work backward in the pocket to see that target. What does this all mean for Young going forward? Well, let’s just say it’s not exactly a rosy start to his professional career. It’s a rough statistical profile and his play wasn’t overwhelming when I studied him. Yes, former No. 1 picks like Goff and Trevor Lawrence have overcome their horrid rookie years to become viable quarterbacks, but those are the exceptions to the rule, and Lawrence showed more glimpses of high-end play during his rookie year during the Urban Meyer experience than Young did under Reich and the rest of the Panthers' funky bunch coaches. This is not to say that Young is a bust already, either. His accuracy and intelligence still translate to every offense and still give him a floor as a viable starter, and better teammates, like the newly acquired Diontae Johnson and explosive rookie wideout Xavier Legette, should help highlight those traits even more. But, you take a player No. 1 overall to move the needle, not to just get the job done. Young has a path to be a quarterback who can keep an offense on time with some ad-libbing ability to add creativity and spice to an offense (Alex Smith, another quarterback with a rough rookie season, is a play style and career comparison I keep coming back to for Young). But to justify that 1.1 selection, Young (and Canales) have to push it even more in 2024 and beyond. https://sports.yahoo.com/bryce-youngs-hopes-for-a-bounce-back-season-with-panthers-comes-down-to-more-than-just-his-supporting-cast-140010168.html
    • Definitely in the running. I’d probably go Oakland. Lost football, seriously crappy baseball team. They have Golden State Warriors I guess.
