Panthers apparently ARE looking to off load Darnold...or maybe not. Tweet removed and report denied.

Probably explains the reps he’s getting in camp, trying to get someone to bite.

Call it dumb all you want but at least they are trying.

We were (possibly Seattle?) the only ones to bite on Baker's 5th year option and yet some team out there is going to pick up Sam's?  LOl!

The one that Cleveland is gonna pay the majority of? Anyway if we have to eat some of the hit like Cleveland it gets us a pick and a roster spot so I’m hoping that something comes our way.

Wasting valuable reps and time the 1st team offense needs to gel together so we can showcase the worst starting QB of the last several years who has zero future with this team 🥴

Ellis made a good point on that.

No amount of decent to good training camp reps is gonna be enough to erase four years of game tape from the minds of opposing GMs.

"Showcasing" Darnold is basically useless.

That is some really strong hope there my friend.  I think you are looking at it form the wrong point of view though.  The PANTHERS were not willing to take on more than $5M of Baker's salary and the Browns were not eating over $10M.  That was the major sticking point.  Baker had to eat $3.5M himself (could be made up in incentives) to make the trade work. 

So if we weren't willing to take on more than $5M to acquire Baker, what makes you think we are going to eat ANY of Darnold's contract just to be rid of him.  Also, anything higher than a 6th is a pipe dream.

It's been plainly obvious since we made the deal for awhile that we have moved on from Darnold. The comments coming from the organization as soon as the season ended screamed it. The deal for Mayfield cemented it. This "competition" is and has been a farce. The splitting of reps is idiotic and self defeating. We aren't fooling anyone, especially if we're openly shopping the guy. 

Once again, we're displaying for all to see that this organization is fuging amateur hour.

It’s rumored that the Alouettes are willing to part with two barrels at maple syrup and a Dudley Do Right Fathead.

 

you heard it here first…

A Canadian would never part with their maple syrup.  These rumors have to be fake.  Has Garry Cobb confirmed it yet?

So we are fuging up getting baker to speed and corrals development so we can get a 6th or 7th round draft pick.   Rhule is playing 3d chess fellas

Taking reps with the twos isn't hurting Baker.  The two's play.  He needs to develop chemistry with them as well. 

The person being hurt here is Corral who isn't getting as many reps because while we are trying to find a home for Sam, we have 4 QB's. 

We are doing the same thing we did with Teddy, trying to offload the previous QB, just there isn't much of market for Sam.

And paying his salary in full. If the Panthers were smart they'd eat Darnold's salary like the Browns did.

At any rate, it explains PJ Walker still getting reps.

The ONLY value that Darnold has right now is if his presence can make Baker better (competition).  I am concerned that Corral is standing around while we sugar coat a dog turd with reps, but that is not my decision. 

I get the feeling that Corral will win the hearts of fans during the preseason.

      Some of you act like one can't learn from experience over time. Just because you may not know what you're doing in 2018 doesn't mean that you don't know what you're doing in 2025. Frankly, you grow from experience, and success and excellence gives first-time applicants the hand probably 99.999% of the time.

      It's an interesting topic of conversation as sports evolves. I think ultimately it would lead to a number of small market franchises folding though. Especially in the NBA where there are so many bad teams that have been bad for years and years in some cases already. But as it stands I think athlete pay draft or no draft aside has reached a point where we can and should realistically ask should they make that much compared to the average person. Now college athletes is a different conversation but even that reaches a breaking point. But we could go down the rabbit hole on this even further into overall entertainment and talk about actors making absurd sums too. In the end I think in sports the powers that be won't allow these changes to even be considered because it opens the door for so many other variables. But who knows how long sports like football will realistically be around after people like us pass on. We're only just now learning about things like CTE which the league and the sport in general will only be able to run away from for so long. As far as the NBA goes my understanding is viewership has been steadily going down for a number of reasons but one crucial aspect is key players missing so many games. The NBA has to figure that out regardless. Especially when considering fans who pay to see these athletes compete in person. But hey I guess let's just try to appreciate what we've got while it still exists in this form eh?
