No distractions for the team.  Sam will pretty much keep his mouth shut and do what the coaches ask him.  Still younger and might do him some good to sit as a backup for a while and try to learn to read defenses better.  

I get why they would like to deal Baker.  Still don't see why they would bother with Sam Darnold.  The narrative of but Sam could totally get better just doesn't have teeth at this point.   He doesn't fit the backup criteria IMO.   They would still need that role filled. 

and Baker isnt' really a distraction at this point.  He is just going to be off to the side.   I still think they are worried about about cutting him because of the Pitt pickup fear. 

So they can just sit on Baker as an asset and see if injuries make him more attractive.

Lol. I think we can all just jettison the idea of Sam Darnold at this point. He is who he is. He's basically doubled down on what hasn't worked, so he probably has 2-3 years left as an NFL player.

Oh I think he doesn't have what it takes, but it wouldn't hurt the kid to sit and observe for a while.  Maybe he learns enough to be a capable backup, but I doubt it.  He flashed enough potential from time to time on the Jets and yes even last year to possible have a career jumping from team to team's depth chart collecting a check.

He told me that Sam was on his way out in Carolina. He said the team wasn't going to re-sign him. You heard it here first.

I don't believe you. This is the year. It was all because he didn't have an oline yet and he plays so much better with time in the pocket...That would be like throwing away a diamond because it's still just coal!

He would be best served as a vet minimum 3rd stringer, IMO. That allows him to just basically be around better players and watch them work, while the team not having to rely on him seeing the field in anything other than a scenario where they are likely to lose anyway. Could he develop some in that case? Possibly. But that also requires that he put in the work to improve and I think the results show he doesn't do that or can't accomplish that.

He'll be a sad, funny footnote in Panthers history like Jimmy Clausen was.

Don't shoot the messenger.

I hope you didn't think I was either.  I certainly wasn't taking any of this seriously. 

Only the last post. Around here the ability to differentiate between someone poking for fun and an actual stance is lost as we slip down the Tepper shaped hole.

This was in my post earlier that came right from her article you linked.

Next couple weeks sure seems like on the verge to me.

Her article was dated April 16th.

The Panthers and Browns we're reported to be negotiating as of Draft days 1 and 2 (April 28th and 29th).

Where was she wrong again?

Plus she literally did say "it could happen." That is far from a definitive statement.

      The Panthers have an effort problem

      By CPcavedweller · Posted

      To me, this seems like they feel they aren't going to be competitive. I can't help but go back to Bryce. Good guy, but he doesn't inspire people to give it their all. He isn't a "leader" that people look to. There is no Smith, Delhomme, Kuechly, Cam, etc. coming in that door.  It has to be Bryce, but biologically speaking, how often is the shortest man in the room going to command the kind of respect that will drive people? It just isn't. That isn't how we are wired. That isn't how any living animal on Earth today is wired.  I just follow the science guys.

      Did Cam Really Say This??

      Vick's issue with Reid was that he couldn't take a hit, and he wouldn't go down. Otherwise he was pretty good much of the time.  Mahomes has a system that works. Mahomes doesn't become Mahomes elsewhere because not everyone can extract 125% of the ability of a specific player like Reid can. Kevin O'Connell is beginning to look like he has that ability as well but I'll need to see how he does with his Redshirt Freshman.  I also wonder how much of their playoff issue last year was related to the offense as a whole and not just Darnold. Fans don't really dive into the "why" things happen, they just see the what and complain about it.
