That's the thing nobody is talking g about.   Are the Darnold lovers wanting a 3 year deal or what?   

I wouldn't consider myself a Darnold "lover" or "hater". I'm more of a Darnold "wait-and-see"-er. 

That said, the other veteran options aren't anything to get excited about. Free Agency happens before the draft so you don't know what rookie you can get. I'd see if his side would be open to a contract similar to what Mariota got (2 year, $18M, $6.75M GTD).

I suppose it depends on how wide your tiers are. This year, Sam Darnold is miles better than PJ to date.  Career wise, they're both bad, but Sam is showing he may have a future as a backup.  PJ has done the opposite.

The Carolina Panthers have averaged 250 rushing yards per game (technically 248)  in the Sam Darnold wins.  

That’s what it is taking to make Sam look decent.  And yeah, a comparable QB to PJ will look better with that type rush offense going down.  Sam isn’t in another tier than PJ.  His career here and away has proven what Sam is.  And this praise of Sam is off a flukey couple games with insane rush numbers.

Teddy is making 6.5 (average annual salary) as a backup, Keenum is making 6 (3 year 18 million), Taylor and Rudolph are just over 5.  So you basically want to pay him higher end backup money.  I am ok with that if he is the vet QB we are wanting to roll with.  I'm not sure he takes that contract if he "takes us to the playoffs."  That also doesn't stop us from drafting a QB to compete with Corral for our future.

Nah.  That ain’t true.  Because Rhule would still be over the O.   

we had CMC and Rhule wouldn’t even get the run going like Wilks is doing with average joes at RB. Wilks makes happen what Rhule bullshitted about in terms of being a running team.  
 

 

I was thinking the exact same thing when I saw the post that if Darnold had not be injured, Rhule would probably still be here. 

I personally don't think a handful of games in an offense where the QB's job is to hand the ball off and not throw interceptions overrides four years of past performance.  Maybe he's learned, maybe he is the same, but I need to see a lot more to conclude he has turned a corner.

Regardless, had Darnold not been injured and if he has turned a corner, Rhule driving the train would have derailed it.  As exhibit A, we traded for a QB who operates best out of play action and roll outs.  Rhule talked about establishing the run, but when the games started, we threw on every down out of the chute and we didn't roll him out. 

Maybe you can pin that on McAdoo, but even if that was his stupidity, as the HC don't you pull him aside and ask him WTF he is doing and if he missed the discussion of running the football?

The Process either confuses talking with doing, he thought he was going to outsmart everybody else, or both.

Only thing that's changed with Sam is he trusts his pass protection for the first time in his career. He may get better naturally as his confidence grows but McAdoo is doing the same sort of system we've been trying to implement since Cam's exit, it's just working now because we have an offensive line worth a damn.

Signing Sam to a cheap backup QB contract while drafting a QB in the draft to be our future is perfectly acceptable.  Signing Sam for more money and rolling with him and Corral next year is one hell of a gamble at the most important positions in sports.  It's also one gamble that has already burned us pretty badly in very recent history....

Yeah, I think we could wind up with three QBs on the roster next year.  Maybe Corral can't show enough to go past the practice squad, but I think we wind up with him, a vet, and a draft pick.  That's the price of handling the position the way we have to date.  It's not like we have an established #1 or #2 right now to put a lot of faith in.

10-13.9 million per year. That would be more than Marcus Mariota, but less than Jameis Winston.  

And I would throw in free Bojangles.  

We're not owned by the guy that owns Bojangles anymore.  Maybe Tepper would throw in a free partially built practice facility?

 

 

 

Too soon?

I'm not against drafting a QB

I'm against completely abandoning Corral 

I'm against giving Sam a huge longterm deal.

I'm also against giving up on Sam if he takes us to the playoffs especially if he wins a game. If he does this he deserves a chance to keep growing despite what else we have in the QB room

      Bryce Young is the worst QB in Panthers History

      Yuck.  I still kind of like Herbert but these playoff performances are rough....

      Evero and the pass rush

      I feel like this was the case with River and McDermott defenses as well, we just had the jimmies and the joes to overcome these deficiencies with all pro players at edge and linebacker positions.  Even then, was extremely frustrated in 2015 when we'd let team come back from 20+ pt deficits playing prevent only to barely win at the end.

      Bryce Young is the worst QB in Panthers History

      By panther252 · Posted

      We need to move on soon and just use Bryce as a bridge to find our next guy. I'd like to see how this offense works with Canales hand picking his own guy. Bryce holds this offense back a lot considering you draft the first pick to carry your team and be your best player. We invested heavily for Bryce and need everything to go right just to have him look like a solid game manager sometimes. When he plays well he can look decent or mid, but when he plays bad he looks like a bottom 5 qb in league (backups included). It's not worth it, especially if we need to pay him soon, which means we have to skimp all over the roster. If the defenses don't hand it to us on a silver platter Atlanta style then we struggle big time. Defenses don't respect the offense at all. With Cam we could have the worst offensive talent and I'd still think we had a shot in any game we played. If Bryce is facing a 3rd and 10 I pretty much wave the white flag and don't think we can make that first down.
