How bad does PJ need to play to be removed as starter?

No.  He's not.  A good backup takes care of the ball and makes safe decisions.  The very things PJ doesn't do.

Teddy Bridgewater is a good backup.  He doesn't win games, but he doesn't throw them away either.

This!

There are basically three kinds of backups.

The most common is somebody who protects the football, is not likely to win many games on their own, but is also not going to lose games the rest of the team has worked hard to win.

The second is the future starter who is not yet ready and is learning from the bench while the vet is starting.

The third is the former starting vet who has been replaced by the guy who is no longer the "future" starter, and is either waiting to go elsewhere or finishing out his career.

None of those describes PJ Walker.  None of them describe Darnold, either.

People drafted DJ Moore in FF knowing full well Sam, Baker, and PJ were the QBs?

He was a stud in fantasy in 2020 and 2021 with Bridgewater and Darnold. I won the Super Bowl with him in my lineup last year. McAdoo is awful.

I can honestly say I don't really care at this point who is starting. It's going to be so up and down no matter who is slinging the ball, results won't be much different than they are now. 

I'm much more interested in who is the QB next year and I don't want it to be PJ, Sammy, or Baker. I'm done with all of them. I've seen everything I want to see and I don't want to see anymore.

    • It probably would be. Given that most 6th and 7th rounders aren't NFL game day material except on the Panthers, the pick might improve us slightly with a drafted player, but I'd like to see us actually be able to open up the field. I do think some of our offensive problem stem from defenses aren't afraid of Bryce's arm. They cover a short field and that makes life a lot easier for them.  If it doesn't work though, unless we get rid of the scouting department and whatever drafting algorithm Dave is making us use, it won't really matter anyway. 
    • I think the Baker/Darnold thing has been overblown. QBs that struggle with the team that drafts them and go on to find success elsewhere often do end up going to multiple new teams before they figure it out and/or find the right situation. It just so happened that we traded for both guys in back-to-back years and neither player had quite figured it out yet. Baker, I think, needed more time and a better supporting cast. Darnold, I think, benefitted from a year on the bench in San Francisco a ton. I don't really have any ill will towards either of them. I think they both came here with the best intentions after coming from difficult circumstances; unfortunately the Panthers were - and still are, it seems - also in the process of figuring things out.
    • At this point this is all I want from this team. I'm done hoping for wins. I just want to see a competitive team for 4 quarters. Come out of the gate hard and don't give up no matter the score.
