Care to give an example of a third rounder that sat and developed?  Cousins is the only one that comes to mind and that was a long time ago.  However I can think of Dak, Russell and Carr that were drafted in the 2nd or 3rd and could come in and play right off the bat.  If they can play they can play, sitting a qb is a strategy from yesteryear

We're still waiting on Jordan Love to develop...

NFLN reporting a QB competition, so this isn't happening. If Darnold was going to the Browns, he would have been part of the trade.

With both Darnold and Baker in camp, there will be very few reps for Matt to develop.

They have all but given up on Sam.  Matt will get more reps as he earns them and now there is no hurry to get him on the field.  They would have rushed him out with Sam out there throwing picks.

You really think that?  If so see christenson, brady.

 

this staff is fuging clueless

They traded for a vet QB who is a proven starter because they know Sam isn't the guy.  Baker will start this season unless Corral can show he is ready.  It's McAdoo's new offense so Darnold has little to no advantage as far as the playbook is concerned.

I don't even know why we're talking about corral. Sam will likely be the backup. 

It's like we're forgetting who Matt Rhule is.

I will try to be positive here and say that it’s a win-win situation. Baker plays which will allow Corral to ease his way into the NFL. I believe Fitterer made comments along the lines of not wanting to thrust a rookie QB into playing right away.

So Baker ate 3.5 million to come here.  So much for not wanting Carolina.

We paid 5 mill and a conditional 2024 5th rounder.  He's an upgrade over Sam.  I guess we'll see how much.

Damn, that’s wild.  Not sure how much of it is “wanting to come here” vs “please get me the fug out of here” but either way it works out for us

      Gronk is the best TE of all time, but he also played with Brady. Clarke was great, but had Peyton and in an era TE's didn't make crazy money. Kittle is great, but the two times he's made the SB, he was still on his rookie contract for one, and the other the 49ers had Purdy on a cheap rookie deal which help them build the rest of the roster. So again, it's not about not wanting an elite TE, of course it would be nice.  But realistically, in today's NFL, unless that elite TE with a top end TE salary is on a team with a GOAT level QB and/or other serious cap savings (i.e. key players on rookie deals), then I think it's not a good use of cap space.

      This place was the poo pre tepper with tons of hilarious posters like phillyB. Joined in the 2000s during the 07 season and have been here bitching about this team since. but yeah its sadly been dying a slow death, every time I come to this site I am surprised its still up. I think the 2015 season was the absolute peak, the Panthers and this board especially just haven't "felt" the same since then. Igo should really sell the board since he clearly doesn't care anymore. Also, Reddit blows and the Bryce defenders on there need Jesus.

      Guessing the price is too rich here given the injury history.  2024 was brutal and production dropped off in 2025 with a few more injuries (albeit rough qb play).    Don’t really understand the narrative that Young can’t benefit from talented upgrades on offense. Especially here with respect to a tight end. Any QB will benefit from talented receivers that threaten the top of coverage and tight ends with skills to stress zone.    The age and injury history, coupled with what he’s likely asking, just probably means we can better spend that money elsewhere.
