Yep, let Tampa get assblasted by Dallas at home.

Now, the next step is to trade up with Chicago and draft Stroud or Young

"We need all of these players", also "Let's trade away everything for the chance to draft a QB who may not be any good".

Does not compute.

Not sure what else you wanted from him.

He wasn't the one who allowed the Bucs to score 30 points.

Yeah he had that one pick (which was overshadowed by 3 TD passes for his first 300+ yard passing game of the season). 

 

Anyway, he proved what some of us already knew :  He'd make one hell of a backup or Bridge QB until we can get either Corral or another young QB in there to be the Franchise. 

He'd be a nice safety valve for this team to be somewhat competitive while we continue the search.

FTR, I'm fine retaining Darnold for food backup money. Seems like a great guy in the locker room and he could be a good bridge to a rookie if need be so we're not forced to play a rookie before he's ready.

He went for 346 and 3 tds.

You sound like kriby smart last night

We are shaping up to be pick 7ish.  Bears and Cards are likely to be 2 and 3.  And Seattle's DEN pick looking like #4.

A trade up would leap Indy, Vegas, & ATL.    But could be 7 to 2 or 3.  

That's not a monster leap valuation wise.

 

Trade value doesn't come into it when talking QBs. Ask the 49ers - we'd get fleeced.

Not to mention we now have an easier schedule next year and don't have to play the Bills and Eagles.

Maybe. If we end 3rd we could play 

Rams with Staffold and Kupp back, Dolphins, Giants

Had we won the division the last three would be 
Philly, Bills and Niners

If we end 4th
Cards, Commanders and Jets/Dolphins/Patriots

This was a team loss, full stop.  If you believe that Sam was the singular cause for our loss, go ahead and pull the trigger, and trade away a boatload of draft picks for the first or second draft pick.

Kyler's contract likely means they're sticking with him despite the concerns and the injury.

I could see the Seahawks rolling with Geno. Carroll is 70+. Does he really want to develop a rookie QB? Doea he think there's a rookie in the draft who would be better now than Geno was this year?

Indy, Vegas, and ATL are all obviously QB needy teams.

With 3 turnovers and it could've easily been 4 or 5.

He's better than I ever thought he would be but he's not the long-term answer. There were very few throws he made downfield that weren't his first read. He's still the same guy. He looks great when the play works as designed and he can hit his first read. He's an extremely talented thrower of the football. But he's not a long-term answer at starting QB.

      Texas A&M Nic Scourton vs. Purdue Nic Scourton

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      TAMU had such a weird draft. Usually you'd be bragging your ass off about three DL drafted in the top two rounds except that the narrative around all three was about how badly they were misused by TAMU. LOL

      Texas A&M Nic Scourton vs. Purdue Nic Scourton

      By Icege · Posted

      Many Panthers fans are already excited about second-round selection Nic Scourton for a variety of reasons including but not limited to: the Panthers needed to recharge the position group, Scourton had a late first-round grade according to many (including the Panthers), and he fit this season's modus operandi of stopping the run now and forever. However, Scourton was seen early on as one of the top-3 EDGE guys in this class but fell due to not having quite the season at Texas A&M as he did prior at Purdue (his sophomore season). It's been revealed since then a few different things that speak to that dip in production... Texas A&M, for one, requires each player on their line to be able to hold two gaps. This also explains why we saw low production across the board from the other two TA&M prospects but were still being heavily touted. Scourton was also said to have bulked up to 280lbs in order to fulfill this role and noticeably suffered from it. He's expected to play this season with Carolina at 255 - 260 which is very different from most situations. In most situations, teams are wanting players to gain 15 - 30. Since Scourton is going to be playing at his Purdue weight, I thought it would make sense to dive more into that tape. Y'all... we might have gotten something special... Let's take a quick peek at the stats before we start drooling over some highlights. First, a summary of the last two seasons for Scourton: Second, the game splits: The first thing that pops up for me is how Scourton's sack numbers were cut in half his senior year. We've already pointed out issues with scheme that impacted the TA&M linemen from racking up numbers, but seeing the game splits it's clear that Scourton didn't exactly feast on inferior competition while at Purdue. He had two two-sack games (vs. Michigan (2023 - 2024 champs), Indiana) and a 10-tackle game (vs. Nebraska). I also see the 2024 games where he went up against two top-10 tackles (Will Campbell from LSU + Armand Membou from Missouri) that I watched leading up to the draft.  For those who just want a summary: Scourton looked elite at Purdue and is going to be rotating in often during his rookie campaign. I originally had him penciled in as the second-string, strong-side edge defender behind Clowney but I wouldn't be surprised to see the team have him and Pat Jones II moving around when they rotate in in order to find where Nic looks best. Here's a highlight reel to replace that Cialias you lost in your recliner tonight:   For those that want a little more: Below I'll be linking the linking the five games I've mentioned above. If you plan to watch all of them, I highly recommend going in the order listed as that will allow you to see him vs. Campbell and then Membou while dealing with the aforementioned things he dealt with at Texas A&M before seeing him look unstoppable in 2023 when he was allowed to play both at a comfortable weight and in a scheme that didn't require him two cover two gaps nearly every play. vs. Will Campbell (2024) vs. Armand Membou (2024) vs. Nebraska (2023) vs. Michigan (2023)   vs. Indiana (2023)

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By Tr3ach · Posted

      Yea, i honestly think he had almost as much say as Dan.  One of the main reasons I think that is Eager has said before he was ever with the Panthers, that you trade away picks for a qb and for any other position you do pick swaps, and that's exactly what we did.
