The Charlotte Observer reports "there's a strong chance" QB Sam Darnold will be the Panthers' Week 1 starter.

Fitterer has literally said he's going to be adding lots of competition to the QB room. if Darnold somehow comes out on top of that competition, I can't imagine it will last all that long. there will be a rookie (or injured 👀) QB waiting in the wings to take over.

If any trade or other than benching Darnold I hope this don't take place.

No one in the NFL is serious about Kaepernick anymore. Regardless of how good(or bad) he was viewed as a player and regardless of his political stance, he has not taken an NFL snap since 2016. He does not have a future in the NFL as a player.

I don’t understand people fascination with Kaepernick. He had regressed a lot. He is 34 years old. And hasn’t played a game since 2016. 
I know people will say he is better than Darnold but is he really? Plus I am tired of people going to that reason for signing mediocre players. Even though I don’t think Kaepernick is mediocre anymore.

Been saying this since the season ended. It makes zero sense to give Rhule a rookie or one of the leftover vets because not one of them will save his job. Wouldn’t doubt if Tepper told him to upgrade the line and prove everything we gave up for him was worth it.

I agree, in addition the coaching staff should be stronger. His biggest challenge is decision making on those few occasions when his protection held up. If a quarterback is drafted he will sit for some time. There are no available quarterbacks that would be an upgrade. A healthy McCaffrey and decent OL is worth 3  more   Wins if the defense holds up.

      Tepper Era Strikes Again!

      By BlazeCarolina · Posted

      So what about their sign is not compliant or causing the issue according to the rules? Them always having it, or the amount of time they have had it, or their loyalty to the team is not relevant to this situation. To be clear, I know next to nothing about this situation, just trying to clarify.  I have no dog in this fight and am emotionless on this topic. If you are breaking a rule, you do not get special treatment just because you have been here breaking it a long time.

      The team fell for that late season averageness he displayed last year and got burned. You want to do that again? I don’t.  But I sort of do agree that we are stuck with him as the starter.  I can’t decide whether replacing him gets us into the playoffs so suffering through one last season is the price for freedom in 2026.  Three ways to be free in 2026: He actually plays like a real NFL QB,  The team sends him packing. Be completely out on tne Panthers until changes are made.

      Short version = these people have had those seats since the beginning and haven't missed a game. They have always had their sign. They had to change the sign - I think in 2015 when Cam ripped that Packers fan's banner down (love him for that, by the way) - to be compliant and haven't had any issues in the last 10 years. The Panthers even used a photo of them and their sign in their album from the Falcons game. In the 3rd quarter last weekend it was decided that the sign needed to come down. Seems weird and unnecessary, especially since it has been there for every game for a decade.   EDIT: they've had it since 2003. Still a long-ass time.... Also "cringe" is a funny word for someone over the age of 18 who lives and overshares on the Huddle. But, ok....
