Rhule "warming to" starting Darnold?

With Tepper basically giving him another mulligan year, why not? If we suck, he points to the QB situation.  If we do better than expected, Rhule comes out on top.  It's really a win-win for him.

I never wanted Baker coming here anyway, so this is good news. We'll get our franchise QB in the 2023 draft imo. 2022 is pretty much a lost season.

all this consent manufacturing will fall apart after darnold plays one game.

Don't tell that to the guys holding out hope for saviors in free agency.

Person added this comment regarding Tepper possibly not wanting to add another veteran like Mayfield...

In fact, after the Panthers traded up to take Corral in the third round a couple of days after David Tepper’s comments about being patient through a rebuild, it makes sense that Tepper doesn’t want to spend much more on another quarterback who probably won’t get the Panthers any closer to a Super Bowl.

So adding any FAs this late in the offseason isn't about getting substantially better as a team, it's about moving the benchmark forward for Rhule, even if it's just a little.  That's precisely what I thought.

  Sam's on the books for guaranteed $19m. We drafted a young QB. There is only so much room on the roster for a QB. If we were to pick up another we'd have to cut PJ....Who wants that?

I liked mayfield, but our oc clearly doesn't.  If we're gonna have any success, its with darnold/corral and maybe garroppolo.

Not a Mayfield fan but I gotta think this crap coming out of Mint Street is designed to lower Bakers price tag.

That's not exactly what's being said.

Let Sammy D get us the top pick in 2023

Person's full quote from the article...

I know, I know — this isn’t terribly original. But it’s kind of important, especially considering the Panthers’ struggles at the position since Rhule arrived. The third-year coach seems to be warming to the idea of rolling with Darnold and rookie Matt Corral this fall, though he refused last week to shut the door completely on adding a veteran quarterback (which is to say, Baker Mayfield). Rhule suggested it wouldn’t be that difficult for a new QB to come in at or near the start of training camp and pick up Ben McAdoo’s offense and be ready by Week 1.
