Please dear god do not let the Browns get Darnold........he is abysmal.....one of the worst qbs I have ever seen play the game at the NFL level......   just bad bad.    

But you can have him cheap.  A $25 Chick Fil A gift card would suffice.  🙂

One of the interesting things about Darnold is that he can look great for 5-6 plays in a row, and then will just do something inexplicably bad.  And it really doesn't matter how well the oline plays.  In fact, most of Darnold's int's last year came when he had time to throw.  There were times I said, thank god he got sacked on a play.

I think Mayfield helps sell Jerseys and maybe a few more tickets in 2022, but I agree, it is unlikely to translate into a significant difference in the win column. 

Remember, this is a business though.  Generating revenue is key.  Winning is secondary.

Yes, this is a business and winning would create more revenue than Mayfield jersey sales would. But I don't see this as just a ticket sale move, if it happens...

You could have made the poll instead of making a post asking others to make a poll. You basically did all the work already.

I'm never the asshole it is @LinvilleGorgeand @rayzoralways banning me for no good reason poo is a joke

It's not like Cam is 43

He is 33 and there is a very good chance he signs here before the season

Dude, seriously...get a life.

Repeatedly coming back here and stumping for something that's never gonna happen is just a huge waste of time.

Hint: The Panthers don't come to The Huddle looking for ideas.

    • We're in alignment regarding Thielen not being a game changer/breaker for the Panthers. Getting the ball into hands of playmakers like TMac and XL is going to open up things more than it is getting it to Thielen underneath (or letting him go after 50/50 balls 20yds downfield in his mid-30s). However, in a room where the other guys are two second year guys and two rookies, having a reliable vet that they can learn from is just as important as it is for the QB to have as a reliable third option. I can see that being worth $8.5M (just 3%) of the $279.2M cap... especially when looking at what's left out there: https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/free-agents/_/position/wr However, the idea that the team is forcing production to Thielen and leading to losses isn't supported by the data. Targets, not receiving yards, are how you can tell if a player is being "force fed." In the two games mentioned, let's look at the other players available... vs. TB 10 targets - Adam Thielen 9 targets - David Moore 8 targets - Tommy Tremble, Xavier Legette 3 targets - Jonathon Brooks 1 target - Dan Chisena, Feleipe Franks, Stephen Sullivan vs. PHI 11 targets - Adam Thielen 8 targets - Xavier Legette 5 targets - Chuba Hubbard, David Moore 2 targets - Tommy Tremble 1 target - Ja'Tavion Sanders, Deven Thompkins There isn't exactly a bounty of other names to throw the ball to. In those games, AT was one of the top 2 WRs. Diontae had been gone by that point.   So... yea. Agreed that Thielen isn't exactly carrying the team in his mid-30s, but it's undeniable that he was the most reliable target last season that still has quite a bit of value this season. Whether or not that value is reflected in a manner folks think on the contract is going to come down to personal taste. However, the idea that the team was forcing production to AT and that was the reason behind some losses couldn't be further from the truth.
    • I would also add that I think it's more than money.  AT has looked absolutely miserable out there at times, and there was a lot of speculation he would demand to be traded.  Personally, I thought he was a lock to be moved last year.  Maybe his hamstring is the only thing that prevents that from happening. The fact that he's not only willing to come back and play, but excited about it, really bodes well for Bryce.  AT is a veteran and he knows the game.  If he didn't have confidence in Bryce, I guarantee you he wouldn't be in a Panther uniform this year.  I'll take that as a positive.
