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?

Don't wait operators are standing by or                    drag your sorry a** to:

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.

    • Either way there's some tough teams on the schedule this year, on paper anyways. 
    • Same. I would prefer a MNF game earlier in the season. As if more likely has some significance in case things go south this season. If we perform well enough we could even get another game forced to a Sunday night spot later in the season. 
    • Wanted to jump into this thread. Although I do not post anymore I do look in as there are a few old friends around. Loved hearing some of the names you mentioned.  Another  oldie is NanceUSMC.  He is the one who got me here from the old Observer forum.  Good guy and smart football guy. I have learned a lot from a lot of good Huddlers over the years, Over time. we have sadly lost a few who left this earth too soon.  Anyone who know of someone, it would be nice to try to make a list.  One of the more recent, CosmoGirl,  was someone that kind of hit hard.  Life sucks sometimes. Some of the best times were when we had our own tailgate and could meet up in person.  I think it made us better. Several dedicated volunteers, lead by LiverMush, started setting things up in the wee hours of each gameday morning.  Don't know all those regulars but I remember JakeFlake was one.  For you newbies...each game,  a Huddler (or a group) sponsored the food for each tailgate.  Eating was free but a donation was asked for.  At the end of the year those donations were used to buy bicycles for Toys for Tots.  Over the years Huddlers bought a lot of new bikes for kids for Christmas.  (I am guessing a couple of hundred each year.)  We had a good time getting together, got to make friends in person, and then got to feel like you were doing something good. It was truly a community. I got to meet Dan Morgan at one of our tailgates...he brought pizza from his restaurant.  How many of you remember that?  Glad the restaurant did not make it....lol. Not only have people changed, and come and gone.....but the entire nature and purpose has changed. Nothing lasts forever and we move on but we still like to think about good times. Same reason we take pictures. Want to ask a question I have not seen anyone else mention......who remembers    "The Couch" ?  We have argued, laughed, lived the ups and downs of football and dealt with a little real life along the way.  A thanks to  the Mods who keep this going.  I am sure they sacrifice a lot of their time out of love for the forum and the Panthers. Take care my friends and be well.  I will close with my new favorite quote which I think is greatly needed in these difficult times.
