I'd be fine with him.

Panthers need someone to put Darnold on the bench. They also need someone just competent enough to get through the season but not win too much so they can adequately tank next year too.

I can't imagine wanting to try and take more shortcuts this rebuild. Sam can't be allowed on the field and they have to eat his contract a year. Jimmy would fit the bill and his contract would come off the books soon, too, meaning cap room with a rookie QB at that juncture.

This is the year to trade down and fix the offensive line, Rhule dug us this hole and they need to lay in it.

Glad you have no say, Jesus

That (Jettisoning Darnold) would be the only way I would do something like this, with the possible exception on Minshew on the cheap.  Even then, it would be only because we have zero QBs on the roster who are under contract after this season, and thankfully so.  

Oh yeah, I agree. I said as much if you read and understand what I said. Minshew would be one of the "journeyman" that I was referencing. I would think we'd have to keep Darnold in the case of Minshew because why would Philly take on his contract? Hell, we'd have to pay them additional resources just to take on Darnold, and that would likely lead to something unacceptable.

You're gonna end up paying $40M for Jimmy G when you combine his cap hit with Darnold's. That should be a complete nonstarter.

I care. I just don't have an answer.

Someone asked me in one of these recent threads who I wanted at quarterback, and I realized there isn't anybody available I'd say "yes" to.

There's not a single qb available out there that's going to change the trajectory of this team next season. 

My only hope is that whomever it is that they make it entertaining enough to tune in for each game. 

That's how low my confidence in this franchise has become.

This season represents the lack of vision--they went after an underperforming Darnold without a backup plan.  They should have drafted Fields, tbh--even if they had Darnold.  Instead, they had to give Darnold his fifth year contract because he was doing fairly well and we did not have a backup plan.  Then it went south, and Rhule is now confronted with either another retread or a rookie---no vision.

Scott Fitterer wants a rookie, but this year? Who knows.  I keep thinking that Pickett will be Pick 6--and I hope that is not irony (Pick it at Pick 6).

They sure found themselves in a mell of a hess.

 

I get the feeling that Rhule lost his hope for success when Cleveland signed Watson.

Yeah, I don't see anybody taking Darnold at this point.  He's ours this year, whether anybody likes it or not.  Roughly $18.5M reasons.  Luckily, unless we do something epically stupid, it is one year. 

While PT Barnum was correct (and probably an optimist), it is going to take a day's worth of suckers to find one big enough for Darnold's salary.

I hope their due diligence told them he sucks because he does. Take him off the Niners' great roster with a very good offensive coach and put him here and he's probably indistinguishable from Sam Darnold.

Qbs that suck don't go to a Super Bowl and another Conference Championship. They just don't no matter what team they're on. Yeah you can say his recent injury is something to stay away from, but to say he has sucked is inaccurate at best.

      I know it's only been training camp and one preseason game, but I think T-Mac has already shown his floor to be exactly what I said about him in the pre-draft process. That his floor if he never improves his game, is as one of the best #2 WRs in the NFL, if not even still a low end #1 (i.e. a 25th-ish best WR in the league). I think it's safe to say he's already established himself as our #1, and there are only a small handful of teams in the league where I don't think he'd be their starting #2 WR in Week 1. Bengals (Higgins), Dolphins (Waddle), Eagles (Smith), Bucs (Godwin if healthy), Rams (Adams) are really the only teams where I think he'd be the #3 as a rookie in Week 1.  A few others like the Lions (Williams), Bears (Odunze), Seahawks (Kupp), Commanders (Deebo), where he'd be the 2b to start the season, just because they're vets and/or already have a year or two of experience with their team/QB. And even having said that, I think by year 2, he's better than every one of those players (And no, I'm not saying he's already going to be better than a prime version of Adams, just whatever he'll be at 33 next year), and same goes for Kupp, but that's more because it seems like his body might be quitting on him in a way that hasn't happened to Adams (yet).

      Well to be fair, Horn not practicing right now to let his stitches heal up from a car accident isn't something that should be concerning.  Sure, you don't want him missing practice leading into the season, but it's one that once healed, won't have lingering affects or fear of re-injuring it, it was just bad luck.

      Austin named starting center

      By UnluckyforSome · Posted

      Quality backups are absolutely important. This franchise has been plagued with depth problems. That said, there is a little bit of dismay that Mays can't beat out a 1-legged man, and all the talk going into the off-season was how BC would certainly be gone since he had position versatility.  In the end, it doesn't matter too awfully much, as I would be shocked to no end if Corbett makes it through the season. We know what we have in reserve, and that should surely be better than trying to sign random fat guys mid season to try and take over.
