Reich New Head Coach

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?

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.

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..

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.

Dude that decision was made when Rhule got fired and CMC was traded away.. They have set themselves up to do this now..

    • and they don’t get paid and teams don’t keep playing them 
    • Then if he needs time to grow up and he is going to sign an extension in needs to be a 3 year, 20m AAV. He doesn't deserve to get paid like a top 10 QB right now because he's not. Daniel Jones is getting 14m and is playing top notch football.  He may have had some better games, but his mechanics and footwork are still terrible when he feels any pressure, real or not. When he feels good, he steps into his throws like he should. When he doesn't, it's that body squared up or jumping arm toss or tip toe lob. His fumbling is a huge problem. He cant run QB sneaks. He cant really play from under center because his drop backs are terrible and he needs to be far back to get enough gapping to see the field. That's not top 10 QB contract worthy.  And let's not pretend that Bryce is some victim in all of this. Remember him packing on 20 lbs before the combine for the weigh in and walking around in a hoodie the entire time or practicing that S2 test that no one has mentioned before or since so he'd have better results, or riding that hype train like the wheels weren't ever going to fall off. Stroud got roasted and torn apart because of a "leaked" S2 result. He was being portrayed as an idiot while Bryce was being portrayed as a savant. All Stroud ever said was watch me play football. He proved his point.  Bryce did everything he could to make himself the number 1 overall pick and when that happens, guess where you're going? To a bad team, likely with a new coach and it's probably going to be full of dysfunction especially if the owner is Dave Tepper. But the real dysfunction came because Bryce wasn't Reich's choice for QB. He wanted Stroud because Stroud fit the type of offense he ran better than Bryce ever could. That's why he lost interest as soon as he was drafted. He was forced to play Bryce when it was obvious he wasn't ready to show off Tepper's shiny new draft pick. No HC is going to come to a team when he gets no choice over who he has as a QB to build around and he has to reinvent the wheel when the easiest thing to do was just buy the wheel that fit to begin with. Tepper lied to Reich all the way up until draft day, then he made that pick. Then Reich checked out, and i don't blame him one bit. And I'll be clear, I didn't want Reich. I wanted Steichen because of what he's doing in Indy or Ryans because I thought he would make one hell of a leader and HC.  Reich was a HC with no control over his own team. I put the majority of what's gone wrong involving Bryce on Tepper. The trade gave up too much in picks and DJ to build around him, we had a horrid GM who couldn't draft or build a roster, a QB forced to play before he's ready, an owner that thinks he knows more than football people.    There's a lot of moving pieces in all of this, but we cant pay Bryce 50m AAV at the end of this season while he figures it out, and the 5th year doesnt make sense either if we're a run heavy offense with Bryce as game manager. You dont need a 30m, 5th year option QB for that. If he's not there developmentally, he's not there.  Unfortunately, there isnt time to just calm down. He plays like a game manager this year and we have to move on. You dont give game managers huge contracts behind the highest paid oline in football, especially when you need to sign your LT. Any journeyman can give us Bryce level results for 15m less per year. Just the way it is. If there was more time, maybe. Unfortunately there isn't. Just the way it is. 
    • We’ve had opportunities to take 2 of the top 5 Cs in the game and instead we took TMJ and Johnathan Brooks. Our drafts since 2017 have been 1 player per draft and then huge misses on lots of really good NFL players (who the huddle have talk about in the draft threads). It’s been mentioned here so many times to draft more OL once you get to the 2nd and beyond since C/G talent is top tier in day 2 and lots of surprise day 3 guys. Taking Brooks over Frazier just looks worse and worse as our OL helps Chuba and Rico look great and Frazier would be a large improvement over Mays.
