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

You people are aware that it's not unusual for teams to have 4 QBs in camp, right?  Heard of the term 'camp arms?'  Remember, we had some local kid from Elon as QB4 before the Baker deal.  PJ Walker still being on the roster during camp means nothing more than you need at least 4 QBs, minimum,  during training camp.

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

My bet is what is in the barrels is really Log Cabin.

Darnold for two barrels of high fructose corn syrup, and we pay his salary plus the shipping on the syrup.

They're not.

That said, he still shouldn't be getting first team reps.

I definitely think they've made a few calls to other teams and the response has been LOL no one wants that guy. Honestly though the guy who suggested the Rams is probably on point. I could see the Rams stashing Darnold in case Stafford and their other backup have injury issues. Panthers would have to pay his entire salary to walk though.

Exactly.  So we would be paying $18M for Darnold not to be on the roster.  At that point why even worry about a trade?  If we are going to eat his entire salary in a trade, just cut him and save the headache of shopping him. OR since his salary is fully guaranteed for this season anyway and he has no trade value, just keep him as a backup. Crazy thought, I know.

That's what makes sense to ME at least. Unless they can get another team to eat half his salary or something, it's not worth unloading him. He should be 3rd string though.

      Monday practice tweets

      I know it's only been training camp and one preseason game, but I think T-Mac has already shown his floor to be exactly what I said about him in the pre-draft process. That his floor if he never improves his game, is as one of the best #2 WRs in the NFL, if not even still a low end #1 (i.e. a 25th-ish best WR in the league). I think it's safe to say he's already established himself as our #1, and there are only a small handful of teams in the league where I don't think he'd be their starting #2 WR in Week 1. Bengals (Higgins), Dolphins (Waddle), Eagles (Smith), Bucs (Godwin if healthy), Rams (Adams) are really the only teams where I think he'd be the #3 as a rookie in Week 1.  A few others like the Lions (Williams), Bears (Odunze), Seahawks (Kupp), Commanders (Deebo), where he'd be the 2b to start the season, just because they're vets and/or already have a year or two of experience with their team/QB. And even having said that, I think by year 2, he's better than every one of those players (And no, I'm not saying he's already going to be better than a prime version of Adams, just whatever he'll be at 33 next year), and same goes for Kupp, but that's more because it seems like his body might be quitting on him in a way that hasn't happened to Adams (yet).

      Well to be fair, Horn not practicing right now to let his stitches heal up from a car accident isn't something that should be concerning.  Sure, you don't want him missing practice leading into the season, but it's one that once healed, won't have lingering affects or fear of re-injuring it, it was just bad luck.

      Austin named starting center

      By UnluckyforSome · Posted

      Quality backups are absolutely important. This franchise has been plagued with depth problems. That said, there is a little bit of dismay that Mays can't beat out a 1-legged man, and all the talk going into the off-season was how BC would certainly be gone since he had position versatility.  In the end, it doesn't matter too awfully much, as I would be shocked to no end if Corbett makes it through the season. We know what we have in reserve, and that should surely be better than trying to sign random fat guys mid season to try and take over.
