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.

He’s not

The best option is not on the list. You like many other people are overlooking the best options in 2022, but a majority of the successful QBs are overlooked.

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. 

[WOW!!]

Roll with Sam and build the Oline at this point..

I could live with that.

Not so sure Matt Rhule can, though.

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.

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.
