...I don't want to see Darnhold in a Panther Uni ever again...If Im the billionaire his azz would be gone... If our season is going so damn bad that we have to install him at QB...hell... just put Corral in at QB... he holds no value whatsoever...cut him.

I really don’t like the way Darnold is treated but he has to go earn it.  Cutting him is stupid

How he's treated? We picked up the fifth year option on the worst starting QB in the league after inexplicably trading for him. He's going to make $18M to hold a clipboard.

Sign me up for some of that treatment!

I don’t care how much they compete in practice, no way I’d take Sam starting over Baker no matter how they look in camp. Darnold has always been a strong practice guy….well maybe strong is the wrong word. The article questions Corrals development if he’s not number 2 compared to Sam being our primary backup. I would like for Corral to have a true redshirt year where he does not see the field at all and really gets time to grasp the NFL so that he has the best shot at long term success. If Matt was the primary backup and Baker goes down he could be thrown to the wolves and pick up some bad habits. Being that we picked him him in the third round there should be no pressure for him to perform immediately. 

This is my problem with ppl..

This needs to be said so ppl can stop living in fantasy world..

Matt Corral is a 3rd rd QB project.  Every QB in the 2022 draft (after Pickett) was seen as a project who needed to sit a year or 2.. The NFL has spoken and that's why these kids were drafted in the 3rd and not the 1st so there wasn't any pressure to throw these kids in the fire before they were ready..  Him sitting getting 3rd QB reps isn't a bad thing or is it hurting his development... Corral at this point is having problems getting snaps under Center and knowing the plays because he played in a Mickey mouse system in college... He has elite skill sets but him getting the mental game and developing his frail body to take NFL punishment is more important then him getting 2nd team reps his rookie year. Unless he proves he's Russell Wilson and that miracle happens for us.. The plan has always been to sit him Atleast a year..

Making Baker or Sam work for the job isn't a bad thing.. Some ppl here call it a farce competition.. Whatever...... 1 QB is making way more and they spent assets to get him..At the same time they've made it clear all offseason they were looking  for a upgrade...The better QB is only here for a bag of chips and he still had to take a contract hit. The New OC isn't a fan of either player. .. This is as fair competition as I've seen.. There is no attachment to either guy.. IMO this is the only time where it truly feels like "who ever give them the best chance to win will play" is a true statement that will be followed..

I'm not against competition, and actually prefer it.

What I'm against is a farce of a competition. If that's even remotely on the radar, they can dump Darnold.

Darnold will look decent until he sees a real defense. It’s pointless to have a TC competition with him when the entire NFL knows he struggles in real game decisions.

Just a question.. What makes this a farce competition?? 

They literally have no attachment to either player...

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
