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.

Does your QB suck? Lost confidence? About to be cut because nobody is calling?

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.

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By Panthers Rhule · Posted

      I still think it's too soon to say last year's draft was bad. I think those who do are the eternal pessimists. We had 4 players who contributed last season. Two were starters. It's possible all 4 are starters this season. How is that a bad draft? I know it's because our roster was so bad but still, they are on this roster so it's the only one that counts.  Before I say it's a bad draft I prefer to wait and see how they play this season. It's possible we may have FIVE starters from that draft playing the season. Anyone who thinks drafting 5 starters by season two is a bad draft should visit a psychiatrist where they can get a prescription to help them live happier lives.    I'm not saying it was a success yet but I damn sure ain't calling it a failure yet. Most players don't make it. Most of those who do need a little time. One season isn't enough time which is why they are still on the team Leggete, Coker (UDFA but still we got him), Sanders, Smith-Wade and Wallace all showed promise last season. If they all take a step forward then it was a great draft. If only 1 does than it was an average draft. If they regress then and only then will I say it was a bad draft.  Fans often have unreasonable expectations compared to the reality of draft results. I believe this draft will shine as I think it's going to better due to the depth of the class but I also believe we will look back at 2024 and say that was a good class too. I think we have 5 players from that class who will be starters or rotational pieces for the next couple of years at least. That's a win.

      D. Morgan on T-Mac: “I made the decision pretty early [January]

      Playing devils adovcate here, but if you truly wanted to trade down then it made no sense to be a smoke screen for Walker only.  Especially since Tmac is not a generational type player.  Make it known that he is in play and see if the cowboys or whoever really like him as rumored.

      I mean everybody was, there is a difference between wanting them to draft the guy you like and accepting them drafting someone else based off all the intel and rumors. Up until draft night everybody was convinced it was gonna be walker or maybe another defensive player. If you didn't you was just crossing your fingers.
