So he gets benched and quits? We already had one Carr here towards the end of their career…would rather roll with Darnold 

Yeah Darnolds knock was his turnovers. Carr is a turnover machine this year for whatever reason. Plus leaving the team when he's benched to not be a distraction seems like maybe more of a distraction than just sitting on the bench like most other guys deal with?

Derek Carr sucks. 4-5 years ago he was respectable, but the dude has been crying at press conferences this year and gets benched because he blows and leaves the team. Hard fuging pass come on now

For me the ship hasn’t sailed on Darnold yet.  It can take time, setbacks and some humility for a player to reach their full potential.  He has two more games and a potential playoff game(s) to CHANGE his life and the narrative.  He’s fully aware of this, and IMO he’s earned the opportunity.  Personally, I’m going to judge Sam on what’s he’s doing now, not what he did last year or prior.  
 

It’s going to play itself out so there’s no point in conjecture.  If he continues to play well and show growth he will be in the conversation.

Only way I'd want him is on a vet mom. Contract, without promising the starting position.  

Really depends on the vet's mom. 

Only way I see it is if the Raiders release him and we could sign him to a short term, reasonable deal.  That reasonable deal isn't happening and Carr doesn't want short term so not going to happen.

    • Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.
    • Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly. 
    • Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
