lol right? It’s very similar to the Kyle Allen hype we had. Right now Carr is a solid starter in the league and Sam is maybe a solid backup/bridge QB. Maybe Sam can continue his turn around, but Carr has already proven himself.

     I disagree with this comparison.  Kyle Allen was a virtual unknown and was able to capitalize primarily because there was very little tape on him.  Also Kyle Allen wasn't a bad player.  It's a shame he got hurt in Washington honestly.  Not saying he would have developed into this amazing QB, but Allen could play a lot better then he was given credit for.  The biggest issue with Allen really was small hands, and so  he fumbled a lot.

   Many people have already labeled Darnold and once labeled it's very hard to shake.  Darnold has been good enough to earn the respect of his teammates and his coaches.  He handled a very strange situation very maturely this year.  We have seen Darnold develop, and honestly how can we judge him when Matt Rhule was his coach, the offensive line was abysmal, and the coaches were horrible at game planning with CMC hurt last year.  

   Darnold is a known quantity in the NFL unlike Allen, meaning he has years of tape and his game isn't unfamiliar to opponents.  Darnold has gotten better and better and he is starting to turn the corner.  The trade for Darnold when all is said is done may turn out to be a good trade. 

    The knock on Darnold has been mental.  "Seeing ghosts" is all people think about Darnold when they cast judgement on him, but he looks like he has sorted that out.  He is playing with some confidence we haven't seen, and for the first time in his career he looks comfortable under pressure and in command. 

   Darnold was a high draft pick for a reason, and now he is finally turning into a fully mature player.  If he finishes out 5-1 and gets us into the playoffs why would you not sign him to a bridge deal?

Yeah my family's been rednecks from Waxhaw since before this country was a thing and I've still never heard that phrase.

Haha.

I think it may have been around the boxing world for a while...not sure where it came from, but I heard it growing up...especially about football and fighting.

Well then it makes more sense why I didn't come across it. Never followed boxing, and didn't really get into football until college, growing up I was all about the hoops, college and NBA.

Darnold makes over 18M and Carr makes over 17M. Either of them would have to take a huge salary cut to make them real options. Someone mentioned Gardner Minshew who will be a free agent. He is currently making 2.5M. 

Minshew is no better than Sam Darnold.

So you guys want to bring in Carr. What would be the end goal here. He will never get us to the SB and would only make this an average team at best.  I heard the same reasoning with Mayfield.  Stop the madness!

I don't want him...but I bet someone we know does....

Whatever cheap QB that can hand it off and do some dump off passes id good enough. I don't really care who the vet is, I care how long it takes to get the rookie we draft read to roll. As long as we avoid a massive trade or contract, just make it cheap with a rookie in training.

It's hard to worry about QBs when the HC hire is a much bigger step we have to nail first.

      An honest look at Bryce Young

      By frankw · Posted

      Right but I'm not talking about other teams I'm talking about the Carolina Panthers who are heading into 8 consecutive years of losing seasons. We can argue about stats advanced metrics and expectations until we're blue in the face. Winning when the playoffs are on the line is a very key goal for any starting QB in the NFL. And not for nothing but let's keep it real here. We hung our hats on the Packers game in his rookie season after weeks of either poor or mediocre QB play. And now we're doing the same with his sophomore season albeit with a little larger sample size. But still picking and choosing what to judge just leads to an echo chamber on either side of the debate. We should all be able to meet at a consensus that competing passing the eye test and winning some games convincingly early in the season is realistically the goal for our #1 pick heading into year 3.

      Panthers start making cuts to roster

      Clowney released

      Y'all forgetting about Maz Mwansa.   He would be the fifth DE IF the cut Barno and DJ Johnson.  He would not cost us a roster spot--and that is the key. "Carolina’s pass rush is being reshaped under new outside linebackers coach AC Carter, and recent addition Patrick Jones II. While Mwansa won’t count against the active roster thanks to the IPP slot, his upside is significant. He’s been likened physically to Eagles pass rusher Nolan Smith Jr. and already shows flashes of edge-bending potential. Panthers Director of Player Personnel Cole Spencer summed it up: “Anytime you get a raw ball of clay like that, and the league affords a roster spot, it’s pretty cool.”
