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.

      Not sure who said it first, but Tepper is the correct answer. Still, I'm gonna go with Kasay keeping it inbounds. If, you subscribe to the butterfly effect version of time travel consequences.... When we win SBXXXVIII everybody's lives change: Moose never breaks his leg, We win it all again in 05. Tommy Jone is unknown and Peppers stays home, Champs once more 2008. No artificial pig heart turning JR into a creepy weirdo, no lockout, no Clausen. Fox and Jake ride off into the sunset on their own terms. No 2-14, no #1 pick. But, no laptop, no Blinn, 3 years behind The Golden Calf of Bristol, we still get Cam. JR let's him grow his locs like he always wanted, Smitty sees Cam in a new light. Dreads swinging, (and Smitty with his 3 Lombardis behind him) Cam is old enough to get those calls. No Manning narrative, Cotchery TD, PI against Talib on Philly Brown, 10,000 RTP calls and Kony Ealy SB50 MVP. No Jeans Fridays, no Tepper. KB doesn't slip on his own meatsweat mid-route in SD, Cam becomes the 1st QB to win 10 straight SBs. Retiring after being elected 47th president of the US of A, Cam ushers in the Permanent Proletarian Revolution across the globe, Xi Jinping bows in awe. "ẄøŘƙƐṛ§ őF ŧĤə ŵØRłð, ŮŊÏŦƐ!!!"

      I mean not surprised the Patriots took him in and aren't trying to push him out. They've been the most morally bankrupt team in the NFL for a long while. Wouldn't be surprised if Vrabel has his own dirt on Kraft/Brady and other assholes from that organization over the last couple decades.
