And how many of those would you realistically be willing to bring in as a starter?

 

I'd take Minshew. 

 

As an aside; I can't even fathom that Chad Henne is still in the league. That boggles the mind.

I wouldn't.

This is a case of Grass-being-greener-on-the-other-side.

 

If we don't re-sign Sam, I'd rather we go after Brisset.

I see what you mean. I don't really see a solution. But if we draft another QB, we will need someone to help mentor both him and Matt. 

Absolutely, we will - and, I don't mind Sam in that role, I just think sometimes it is better to move on.  And I think it would be for him, and we have as good or better options.

Truth be told. One way or another, there is a huge possibility that we will have both a rookie QB and a 2nd year QB. We HAVE to bring in a Vet. One willing to play a few games and help mentor the kids. 

 

Next year may not be anything to write home about. But it is going to be entertaining getting there.

lol that people actually fell for darnolds decent start once again

The Panthers averaged an absurd 222 rushing yards per game in Sam Darnold's "wins" this year. 

We need a vet on the roster.  Yeah.  Let's go get one that actually has had success in the NFL and knows how to play QB and the NFL game.  That's not Sam.

Brisset is someone I'd look into.

I said that last offseason along with Dalton and got laughed at.  Both played decent this year and would have been WAY better that Mayfield.  I wouldn't be opposed to Minshew either, but he's not any better than the other two.

Draft weapons, re-sign Sam, sign one of these guys and let's get after it in '23!

If Wilks is retained. I could absolutely see Sam being brought back to hold the fort, and mentor the kids.

 

However, a new coach may have other ideas. Which right now seems like a step up.

"wins" in quotes.

Yeah okay.

When you are running for 200+ yards a game and even manage to crack 300+ yards in that span....your QB play is not why you are winning games in the NFL. 

So yeah, "wins" in quotes.  It's like crediting the league's worst defense with winning a game because an offense had to go out and score 49 points.   The D doesn't win you that game.   The O won the game.  Our rushing attack won those games.

Sam went 4-2 soooo....technically he did have success in the NFL and knows how to play QB and the NFL game.

HIS problem is he's slow as a snail in going through his progressions (or he just focuses on his first read; maybe he goes to 2nd read sporadically)

He was better (save this last game) in taking care of the football this time around.

If that isn't improvement, I don't know what is.

And just who is this QB that can do all that? You saw that list. There is precious little QB help waiting to save us.

You act as if there is a stigma attached to being capable of running the ball. Very few teams can win without it.

the purpose of that QB/role isn't to see the field or play.  It's film, locker room, teaching etc.   They supposed to come to save us.  They are to help the staff with youth they need at the position. 

Sam Darnold serves no purpose.   And we don't need to bring in a 2023 version of Teddy, Sam, Baker.

Too many ppl still clinging to the past. So what if Sam has had a bad career. THIS year he showed there can be improvement. Isn't that about all you can ask for?

 

Wilks is coach. Sam may be back

New coach. Who the heck knows

I don't have an issue with running the ball well.  I simply credit the rush attack when it deserves it.  Not give the credit the bad QB. 

Carolina's run game was absolutely bonkers during that stretch.  And folks are pimping Sam Darnold?? lol.   What Carolina needs to do is acknowledge that feat....and it is one.  They traded CMC and then went crazy on the ground.   Not just good rushing.  Great rushing.  Especially considering teams were playing it.

      Joe Person: Panthers will let Cade Mays test the free agent market

      By PanthersNCSU · Posted

      If Mays has a market, which it seems he will, he's gone.  I think we bring back Nijman for too much money to be cautious at LT, Corbett comes back cheap since he's already said he wants to live in CLT, and Christensen eventually gets re-signed with the hopes he can be depth at some point.  Draft an OT, draft a C. The OL might be rough for stretches next year, but time to get some youth there to prepare for Bryce in 2027 or the next QB. I still think we compete for the division in 2026 and can go back to the playoffs unlike the oddsmakers in Vegas, but the *real* year is 2027 IMO. Either Bryce has proven it and he's the QB looking at his 2nd contract, or we have the ready-made team for the next rookie QB or Vet we trade for.

      Joe Person: Panthers will let Cade Mays test the free agent market

      By Leeroy Jenkins Ph.D. · Posted

      The Panthers are going to have a lot more flexibility in free agency than it looks like at first glance. On paper, the cap space might seem tight, but there are several obvious restructure candidates that could easily free up significant room. Between converting base salaries into signing bonuses and spreading cap hits out over future years, Carolina could realistically clear $60–80 million in additional space if they wanted to be aggressive. That kind of flexibility means they’re not stuck. They can extend key young pieces, add help along the offensive line, upgrade the defense, and still be strategic about value signings. Letting Cade Mays test the market makes sense from a leverage standpoint. If he’s willing to come back on a team-friendly deal, great, continuity on the line matters. But if his market price climbs, the Panthers should absolutely explore upgrades. The point is, this front office isn’t boxed in. With cap maneuvering and smart structuring, they have the ability to be active players in free agency rather than sitting on the sidelines like we are used too.
