My hope for this year is the following in order:

1) Draft a top LT @ 6 - stick with Darnold - draft QB next year with high draft pick

2) Trade down, draft QB with 1st rd, LT with 2nd or 3rd - see who is better QB in camp - possibly draft another QB next year

That being said I wouldn't be surprised if we go with option #1 and we sign one of those 2 guys out of desperation - but it is a waste of money IMO since I don't believe either is better than Darnold if we have a stud LT....and signing means we have 2 big QB contracts - like paying for the top 5 QB's in the league but getting half the production.

Nah, serious. Everything I've heard about him says he's the perfect teammate. I just wouldn't want to pay that cap hit for a veteran hand holder.

Okay cool - yeah I definitely agree here. Ideally if we could get a rook QB, and land Jimmy G... that would be a picture perfect offseason IMO. Assuming we are able to get a LT or LB(DE) as well.

At this point, we could probably get Mayfield for peanuts. And the Browns will have to eat some of his pay. He still has some upside, I'd go with him. Garoppolo has better character, but he is topped out as a pro. He is a career backup that can win in a pinch, but he isn't a franchise guy. Couple that with him coming off a serious injury and I don't think that the risk is worth it.

 Look at his playoff stats. They're Darnold level bad.

Comparing post season stats to someones regular season stats is like comparing college level stats to the NFL. JimmyG has not done well in the post season.   He is pretty good in the regular season.   Sam sucks in the regular season, and can't spell post season.  Sam might not know that there is a post season.

If we could get Mayfield for that I'd rather go that route than Jimmy G. Mayfield with an ego checking could be a good QB.

The only two vets I'd consider are Mayfield (for the right price) and Minshew. Minshew would preferably be brought in as a bridge while we develop (the thought of this staff developing a rookie QB 😂😂😂) a rookie.

Mayfield is not a good QB. If we trade anything hire than a day 3 pick in draft capital for either one of them, I'm going to give up hope on the FO. A 4th is still unacceptable, really, but I'll stomach it if Darnold is gone.

I agree but it's because of his entitled attitude. Is that fixable? Eh... I doubt it.

I don't know, man, anyone that can throw more INTs than Sam Darnold (as well as any other QB) since 2018 has to adjust more than their suck-ass attitude.

With Matt Rhule still retaining final roster say, I'd say he has a good chance of being right.

If we really wanted either of these players we’d have traded for them already. Lot of talk in the off-season that ain’t got no truth to it. Calling BS on this one.

Panthers plan 1 is to draft a QB. We probably have a trade back contingency in place if one of the players we want is off the board.

as far as players on other teams go, I’ll look at Minshew with the eagles as being the most likely QB to be traded to Carolina. I’d take him over Willis every day of the week. I know there is a Willis hype train but drafting him at 6 would be a huge mistake on a second round talent at best.

      Um, no, just no. Bills, Chiefs, Chargers, Ravens, Bengals, Texans, Eagles, Commanders are 8 teams that it's not even a debate, they aren't trading their QB for Purdy. Patriots, Broncos, Titans, Giants, Bears, Vikings, Falcons are 7 more teams with QBs drafted in the last 2 years that also would rather stick with them than trade for Purdy as they all have more upside than he does. Lions, Packers, Cowboys, Bucs are 4 more that would likely keep their QB's as well, age aside for Goff, Dak, and Baker. Panthers and Colts are two teams in the same situation, QB's who have both struggled and shown flashes to where the teams probably stick with them because they drafted them, but in a re-draft of all QB's, they probably take Purdy over the guy they currently have. Jags, Cardinals, Dolphins, are 3 more with QB's who probably have a higher upside than Purdy but come with their own question marks, so debatable if they'd take Purdy over who they already have. That leaves Jets, Raiders, Steelers, Browns, Saints, Seahawks, and Rams. Rams would take him over Stafford for the future of course, but not for 2025, and I'd think the Seahawks would take him over Darnold, but honestly not sure if they would take him over Milroe at this moment as they really like his potential and have him for 4 years really cheap. That leaves 5 teams that I see who would absolutely take him over their current situation right now, and a handful of others who MIGHT take him over their current guy, a far cry from your 20.

      The Bryce Trade is Finally Complete. Who Won the Trade? Panthers vs Bears

      By ForJimmy · Posted

      Agreed. Also as soon as they received the top pick in the next draft it was over. Bears won that trade. Gave up a top overall pick got one the next year plus pick 9, a couple 2nds, and DJ Moore a proven young WR. Had their 2024 pick from us be in the late teens or later it would be more debatable IMO.

      Option A:  Pay your starting QB starting QB money. Option B:  Look for a starting QB for 4-10 years (or longer) while wasting the talent at every other position.    How many of the top 20 QB's do you think are worth what they are being paid?   When you factor in the last year of his present deal his contract is really an average of 45 million per year which in today's QB market is a very, very good deal. I wish we'd had found a Brock Purdy to pay 50+ million a year right after we parted ways with Cam.  Ya'll go ahead and live in fairy tale land where good to great (much less elite) QB's are available to pay. Just the fact that they had the chance to pay Brock after the disaster of trading up for Lance is a testament that when you find a quarter back you can win with, complete in the playoffs and superbowls with, you pay him.
