Another Special Juan clickbait thread (aka nothing to see here)

ESPN's David Newton believes it is "doubtful" the team will make a run at a "high-priced" veteran quarterback such as Derek Carr.

Meanwhile, it is presented as "possible" that a "bargain-priced" quarterback could be added, and also as possible that the team will re-sign Sam Darnold. The Panthers are only expected to clear to about $15-$20 million in cap space this offseason, which would make it hard to go after the top of the quarterback market. It's beyond plausible that Darnold gets another prove-it deal after missing the start of last season with a high-ankle sprain and playing decently down the stretch. Newton writes to expect the Panthers to focus on quarterback in the draft, even if that means trading up from No. 9 overall -- Darnold could be the bridge to that new quarterback, or potentially to Matt Corral if the Panthers won't pay the price to select a quarterback early

Might as well roll with Sam as long as we go QB in round one. Let him start the season and our new kid play when he’s ready. 

We want to make the playoffs not be limited because our QB is a liability. 
Which Darnold will always be. He has, maybe 3 to 4 “ good” games in him and then he falls off a cliff. 
He isn’t a QB you want starting all season. .

Whomever we sign as the bridge, I would imagine that Reich will have major input into that decision.  If Darnell is not brought back, either his agent is asking for too rich a contract or Reich has determined that there are better options to hitch his wagon to until the rookie drafted is ready.  Will be interesting to see where this goes.

Every time I see Darnold possibly STILL being on this team I get physically ill. He is like a rash that won’t go away. 
Darnold you suck please just go the eff away. 

Be that as it may, he’s still the best QB we’ve had since Cam’s shoulder died. 
 

edit: to clarify, I’d be fine with bringing him back cheap to be a bridge/backup to whomever we draft in the first this year, not as a long term plan.

    • And I’m fine with that.   But, with an impatient owner….that carries high odds of just him employing a new HC in the not distant future.  The “we will see if the scheme that doesn’t fit our #1 overall pick QB works or not” approach seems like a rocky plan for all.  If I was Canales I would give it shot but demanded I need to be able to sign a legit backup QB in case what I was given just doesn’t work and can transition at the end of the year 
    • That's really unlikely to happen.  The reality is, they are building for what Canales wants to do.  That's what all coaches do.  And if Bryce can't do that, he's another peg that has to be replaced.
    • There is nothing unpopular at all about your opinion. How everything played out on the field backs it up. Bryce starts the season with much fanfare, gives the atl game away, and showed anyone who watched that his arm talent was shockingly bad. bad look, so after a few weeks, the team cooks up a fake injury that nobody saw, presumably to decide what direction to go next. Enter Dalton for one game while Bryce is seen walking comfortably on the sideline, smiling and yucking it up like he’s a 5 year vet.  Dalton performs admirably given the circumstances (please no Dalton ve Bryce retort). The contrast between the two was so strong that it’s still debated today. If Dalton’s performance was similar to what Bryce had done up to that point, I truly believe they would have sat Bryce longer, but it wasn’t.  Dalton relied on vet savvy and a better arm. It’s debatable how many games that gets us. Meaningless to fans, but not to players with serious financial incentives on the line.  What it really was, was a ‘young man (see what I did?)’ playing a grown man’s game, who lacked basic fundamentals and essential physical talent, behind a line that was VERY ill suited for the scheme forced on them, WRs who looked completely confused and unmotivated, with a back stabbing coaching staff in give up mode, GM who I wouldn’t trust to organize my cooking utensil drawer and an owner who meets with coaches every week and tells them which plays he likes and which ones he doesn’t.  Bryce doesn’t get a mulligan, but I’m willing to give him a ‘my bad’ from the team. Last season stunk worse than Bigfoot’s di**. It literally can’t get ANY worse than the unwatchable sh** show that was last year.  I have to see a monumental change in his physical ability and overall confidence. I have to see that he found a laser arm, somewhere, in the offseason, or everything else is irrelevant.
