I would take Minshew over Darnold, or Jimmy G but I would not pay a high price for Minshew. Problem is we have a ton tied up in Darnold this year and I have a bad feeling he isn't even able to be traded because absolutely nobody is going to want him based upon his tape which makes me think we are stuck with and rolling with Sam. If it were me, I would take Minshew on a simple trade where we don't give much of anything for him at all and have him with Darnold backing him up for a season till we can find a future QB to draft and get rid of Darnold after this season. Minshew has proven he can be a decent backup I think and then it gives him a year or two if we draft a rookie to play and prove he could actually be a starter. I don't think Minshew would light the world on fire but seems to be best of what we could have this year because I am not sold on any of the QB's being worth the 6th pick and believe we should wait til next season to move on a top QB in the draft.

I think that the entire Minshew option can be summed up in one statement.

If you think that he is gonna take you to the promised land then you get him. If he’s not gonna take the Panthers to the Super Bowl then don’t do it.

I don’t understand the concept of getting a middling quarterback when the Panthers already have one.

To be fair, Darnold isn't even middling.

He's the worst starting QB in the NFL.

Minshew has shown far and away more competency as a QB than Darnold ever has. 

Minshew would be an upgrade and he would be relatively cheap in terms of compensation. 

Because of said cheap compensation, it would not deter us from addressing the position in the draft either this or next year if he shits the bed.

Well, we all make since (intentional).  Personally, I don't worry about grammar, but I do try not to sound like a drunk foreign exchange student from an impoverished Eastern Block country.   

I like trying to sound that way myself.  It confuses the trolls so it has its advantages.

      Nice to win, but Tim Weaver of SI has key duds among the studs

      It is hard to win in the NFL. I’m never going to put an * next to a Dub.

      The Dowdle Mirage - Play Calling Problems

      By TheSpecialJuan · Posted

      We had a very favorable matchup our o-line manhandles theirs. Even Etienne looked like he would have had a great game on his limited rushing opportunities.

      The Dowdle Mirage - Play Calling Problems

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      I think that's part of the problem, he's spreading the ball around too much, many of them are the first read play calls, and on top of that, a large portion of them are purposefully called screens or other short passes. I just looked, the Cardinals are the only other team in the league right now without at least 3 players with 100+ yards receiving so far this year, with the majority of teams having 4 or more.  And even then, their #2 right now is McBride with over 200 yards. Our 2nd leading receiver this year has 108 yards (albeit with 4 more players with 82 or more). On the surface, that might not be as alarming as you might think, but when you add into it that Bryce is currently 6th in the league in pass attempts, and it's even more alarming that he hasn't gotten a 3rd player to 100 yards so far and his second highest is only 108. XL has 39 yards on 18 targets.  Renfrow has 82 yards on 24 targets.  Tremble has 87 on 16 targets.  Sanders has 92 on 14 targets. None of those are good enough, so why aren't we calling more plays with T-Mac as the first read and forcing the ball to him (and again, that's not me wanting my guy to get more targets, that's me wanting more targets for the only productive pass catcher so far this year, I'd feel the same no matter what that player's name was). All of this is why I have issues with Canales' play calling.  How do you have a player who had 73 yards in the first half and then you only give him 1 target in the 2nd half despite playing from behind the majority of that time? You can be happy about the win, happy about Dowdle getting 200 yards, but in a game where your QB threw it 30 times, I can't accept the above sentence in the same breath, that's just terrible play calling, which is on top of the already predictable play calling in general, which is also on top of boring play designs as well. Add it all up, and THAT is why I'm unhappy even after a win, not because "my guy" didn't have a bigger game.
