ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reports "some" within the Panthers organization want Sam Darnold to get a chance to start in 2022. 

Darnold missed most of the season's first half a serious ankle injury. He's reportedly fully healthy but not part of the team's starting QB conversation as P.J. Walker and Baker Mayfield takes turns being terrible. Darnold, one of the NFL's worst quarterbacks by any measure in 2021, could wind up starting a meaningless late-season game for the most down-bad franchise in pro sports.

The stadium is empty enough. I think what few fans do bother to show up to games will take a pass if they hear Sam will be stating again. On the other hand we're paying him well over 18 million dollars to practice and wear a headset. He's listening the plays coming in on gameday and earning $18,000,000. He was evaluated at being worth that kind of money by Fitt, unless you think Rhule is responsible for that as well, so we should put Sam out there and see that Fitt magic.

Honestly who the hell cares enough in that building to make a big deal over which of our xfl level QBs start? 

People that should not be here employed when we draft a new QB that is who. 

Just rotate the garbage and make it through the year. These are probably the same people that said Sam was basically a rookie last year lol.

Some want to see Sam, not because he is good, but because Baker and PJ have been bad. 
 

Since variables have changed from last year (HC, OC, o-line), they probably want to see if Sam is just as bad as last year, or an improvement over Baker and PJ with the same variables. 
 

I wouldn’t mind it for the above reason.
 

At this point, the QB’s on this team are auditioning for, AT BEST, a future backup role, or situational starting role while the next QB is developing.

I have no issue with that.  We've got to make a choice on whom we keep.  The only fair way is to work all 3 quarter backs.  In my opinion we've seen PJ enough to make a comparison between him and the others.  I would just let Baker and Sam battle the rest of the season out.

      Myles Garrett Traded to Rams

      By electro's horse · Posted

      I feel like this trade just lives rent free in people's heads and keeps morphing into different things. First thing is that the rumored trade was for future firsts. They wouldn't have any extra picks in 2023; the firsts would have been for 2024 and 2025. With very few exceptions, NFL GMs don't value picks that far away. You have to have a lot of job security to pull that off. Like Chiefs, Eagles, Rams kinda stability. That's obviously not the case with David Tepper, especially since he'd just fired his head coach. No GM except for like Howie Roseman is going to trade an asset you have now for a future asset you probably get to use.  Second, at the time you'd have to assume these are first rounders late in the first round. Obviously currency is currency and the panthers need young players, but these weren't slam dunk top ten picks. At the end of the day there's one pick that separates a first and second round pick.  Lastly, the only place that ever reported this trade was the Rams. All the reporters just repeated what McVay said and it became gospel. We have no idea how serious the negotiations were, if they ever really happened, if the offer was real, etc. And I personally believe McVay and Sneed are the kind of guys who would make up rumors like that to fug up other teams, mostly because I assume if I've thought of it someone smarter than me has.  I don't know how you'd call it the greatest draft haul of all time. Firsts quickly lose their value the farther out they are and Burns had 16.5 sacks last season. And anyway those picks would probably just been tossed into the burning inferno of the Bryce trade up so it's a moot point anyway.
