Neither Rhule nor Wilks had anything to offer Darnold when it came to QB training or experience.  Frank Reich has it in spades, with an astounding history of getting the most out of underperforming QBs.   

Now, I'm no Darnold fan, not by a long shot, but I do acknowledge that Frank Reich is likely better qualified  to determine whether Sam is worth retaining than anyone who happens to be posting in this forum.

Idk I kinda doubt Reich sold Tepper and Fitterer on continuing the Sam Darnold reclamation tour. Unless he takes a minimum deal to be a backup/camp arm he's likely seen his last days as a Panther.

Here's a great video on Reich's versions of mesh, one of my favorite passing concepts.

Agreed.

@frankw

There are way too many inexpensive backup QBs available every year to commit to Darnold, someone that appears to be a major reclamation project.  Reich will already have enough on his plate.  

As you say, if Darnold wants to come back on a minimum deal and compete for a place on the team he might be given an opportunity.  Chances are Reich will be bringing in a vet and there is always Matt Corral, who may still surprise us.  Also, who knows how this year's draft will play out?

[NanuqoftheNorth]

Of all the Panthers players Reich will be studying in the next few weeks, Matt Corral may be the most important.  Some analysts viewed Matt as a very promising QB during last year's draft.  If Reich sees something in him, it could alter the Panthers draft priorities.

Happy enough with the hire.  Hopeful, at least.  At bare minimum, he’s a guy who has been a head coach in the NFL and works with QB’s.  We could have done much worse and I think this was Tepper’s “safe” pick.

Phil Simms said he was the best qb in last years draft. Phil been pretty accurate with judging qb draft prospects.  Who knows? I guess we will find out soon enough.

Nope… Corral was a throw everything at the wall to save Rhule’s job move.. If the 3rd year jump thing happened you have Baker and a young QB developing as a backup.. Now Corral is at best case a assets that develops into a trade piece or a backup.. We’re getting our young Franchise QB this year no matter the cost..

Yeah we’re pretty much trading away most of everything for either Young or Stroud at this point.  Kinda waiting to see how the Huddle breaks down when that happens.

While anything is possible, the Panthers are more than a few players away from being serious contenders.  Trading away the farm for one player atp would likely just result in another David Carr scenario and a lack of future draft picks to fix it.

Most important position right now is the QB.. Yes we have holes but that 1 position can mask a few of those.. Add in the fact we have the infrastructure to develop a QB and FA flexibility after this season.. No better time then now to make that swing..

Lastly the division is so poor now.. We hit on this and get a huge head start over every team in this division for years to come…

im sorry the risk reward favors us making this move now…

It certainly is a real possibility that the Panthers will be all in on a new QB in the upcoming draft. 

Or not.

The ultimate decision is in the hands of our much improved Panthers brain trust, we're just spectators.

Yup, every team has some sort of holes. Locking down the QB spot makes it a lot easier to actively target and fill those holes. We've built a good base and its a very friendly spot to Develop a young guy in. Time to go get your guy.
