The only reason that makes sense... is to be going after a veteran qb(trade for a Lamar etc)with a cap hit. It seems if we going for a rookie qb, we might as well keep that young player. No need in losing talent to cover up the dumb mistake of extending Sam last year.

That ship sunk and is at the bottom of the ocean now guy. You may have to stick with him to a new team.

Which leads to the question of who's willing to take him and his salary?

That's what you've got to answer before any of this happens.

I know the picks and 5th year option are already a sunk cost, but why not keep Darnold on the roster as a backup?  We're going to pay someone to take the guy we paid to get last year?  Its only a 1 year deal.  Might as well get a warm body on the depth chart out of it.

I have a feeling that's gonna be the most likely outcome, even if it's not the one the Panthers really want.

Who? I can't imagine they'd be willing to give away a starter just to pick up $18M in cap space when we already have the most in the league.

Maybe someone like Troy Pride? Daviyon Nixon? MAYBE Terrace Marshall Jr, but even that would be pretty steep.

What the hell do we need all this cap space for?

Still need a QB1 with or without Sam. None of the rookies are ready to be a QB1. Other than guaranteeing Sam’s year 5, the other big mistake the Panthers made last year is not having any QB competition. They get rid of Sam they need two QB’s.

Start with the teams that have the most cap space and go from there. If we are offering compensation there will be a few willing to listen. At this point it should start clicking for fans that they don't want him here even as a backup. They want him out of the building. That speaks for itself.

      The Dowdle Mirage - Play Calling Problems

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Yea, I've never had high expectations since we drafted Bryce, so it's not like I'm just upset about not meeting them. I went into the season wanting to see player improvement and Canales' play design/calling improvement. I'm now to the point where I 99% only care about seeing individual player improvement.  The 1% is that I unfortunately have to still hope to see Canales play calling improvement, because that is kinda critical for the improvement of all our young offensive players. Offense is different from defense, you need good play designs and calls to show out.  On defense, everything can be a mess, but a great young player can still stand out and look great.  Our defense can be a mess but still have Horn locking down his guys on the outside, Scourton or Princely winning their pass rushing and pressuring the QB, DB swallowing up multiple blockers. But it's very hard for any QB, RB, WR, or TE to individually shine when the play design and calling is poo.

      Oh, I'm not 100% expecting/demanding anything for next season. All that I want to see out of this season is progress, but I also understand that progress is not linear. I also understand that we've got a young team and coaching staff that are both developing. Expecting a winning record isn't reasonable at all, but I'll cheer for one all the same. I think that this is where some of the more angsty fans keep themselves in a perpetual cycle of misery: high expectations leads to low resiliency. Folks can have high standards, and the Panthers + Bryce have not met those standards, but some of those standards are completely realistic (like Bryce has to be built like Cam in order to be successful).
