Darnold Time

That wasn't his fault that Rhule was an idiot. I mean you can literally put Mayfield, Darnold, and Bridgewaters name in that sentence and it would all be true. That's how terrible he was. 

Well, Bridgewater is better and more efficient than them both, he just couldn't carry the offense behind that line. However, he'd be much better behind this line.

I never considered Mayfield an upgrade over Darnold, only slightly more mobile but with a lot more flare, character and confidence at a far reduced rate.

I'm not sure who it would be but I'd love to solidify our QB for years...

If you're still on this forum at this point in Panthers history, then you are the cornerstone of this franchise's fanbase. Yes I would trade you for two 1sts and a second, but we have not received the offer yet.

Lol!!  Okay.. not sure what that means!! Cool post Brewster1980s tv 80s GIF by absurdnoise

Anyone but Mayfield. 

That is where I am. It isn’t because I think Darnold is the answer. But Mayfield is the answer to a different question altogether. 
And presumably the offense was installed with Darnold in mind. Let’s see him.

I seriously doubt anyone expect Sam to be anything other than his normal self and that includes him. 

I'm looking at it from Wilks perspective. If I were he I would be like look, I've started every qb we have other than this guy what the hell else can I do? They all suck!

The answer is clear. 

Bring back Vinny Testaverde.

Nothing wrong with that. I think we should alternate all three the rest of the year just to evaluate everyone one final time to make sure there is nobody we should be hanging onto for any backup type role should we find a starter material in the draft or some amazing established QB we trade for (won't happen I know). In any event definitely should get a look at all three the rest of the way.

Although he didn't look great Corral was graded as just as good of a passer as Young coming out this year. Probably a better one by most. I don't think you give up on him but we also need someone else as well. I will be interested in seeing how our new coach choose to go because there is a lot of talent where we pick that isn't QB.

    • We keep referring to it as Over drafting him like he was really a first round draft pick. We traded up at the end of the first to get him in a deal with Buffalo so that we could grab him and get an extra year on his contract if needed. At the time that sounded like "If he really soars, we can get that fifth year extension automatically". It really probably meant, "We might need five years to really get him up to starting WR speed."  He was basically a second rounder with a potentially meaningless pick as well to pay for those rights. Still, I think that with him we are on the Kelvin Benjamin bubble right now... will he ever be more than just an athlete? Can he really learn to fight and compete for that ball? Can he learn professional routes? Can he handle the fame and more money than he's ever seen in his life? Can he handle all of the pressure a fanbase puts on him? Tough shoes to fill. Not sure I'd want to be in them. I hope he gets it all together soon. A lot, most draftees, can't. Good luck and God bless to the young man. He's got a lot of work to do in a very unforgiving workplace.
    • This is the #1 reason I defend Bryce. Everyone around him is learning on the job, including him. But hey in 3 years we could have a talented offense that grew up together. 
    • Nope. No balling out but he could latch on as a backup elsewhere. I still think he would be the weak link on a ridiculously loaded team that would create problems in the Playoff and while facing other really good teams. His limitations are just to much at this level. I have zero fear of playing him in the future. It's a litmus test for the D, granted the D is pretty awful currently so none needed.
