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.

    • I mean, poster also said Young or Mahomes, it would have made no difference.  If there was way to actually test that hypothetical, I would sell every belonging I have and wager that Mahomes would indeed yield different results.  Mahomes automatically changes the D coverages.  He automatically changes the threats.  He attacks and threatens a field different vastly different.   We have seen good QBs and great QBs play behind horrific OLs in a single season....and they don't default into being the worst team in the NFL.  Frank Reich was old, stubborn and not creative enough to deal with an anomaly QB like Bryce.  The best QB in the NFL wouldn't be handicapping Frank, they would be enhancing Frank.  Starting week 1, Frank didn't even trust Bryce with basics....Frank gave him I what I feel comfortable with you being able to do offense.  Which took throws and plays off the table because Bryce couldn't do early on what a bad vet in Dalton could.  Mahomes would not yield the same results. 
    • All I have to say to this really, is it sounds nice and downgrades Stroud to make Young look better is more like what this take does. Look at the WR numbers the year before and then the year with Stroud. He made them better, not the other way around. That’s my opinion. I appreciate you designating that it was yours. Many state these things as facts.
    • but what if.....and here me out....the pro Bryce Young stuff was coming from people under Fitterer.  You know, the people who are employed to feed him that input.  And they happen to all still be employed here.  when Rhule was fired I desperately wanted Fitterer fired.  It set things up for Fitterer to be the sacrificial lamb the next time things went poorly....every time we move on from a disaster, we are retaining a heavy % of the folks who helped bring the disaster we are "moving on from".  Everyone argued Fitterer probably could be great and it was all Rhule.  We are just repeating the same stuff to a degree IMO.   Panthers needed a clean slate post Rhule era.  Needed another post Frank era.  Things were just too bad or too dysfunctional IMO to be salvaging so much.   We keep failing to do that.
