And now it's a Panthers.com story...

Maybe it's a change I hadn't noticed, but I'm not used to stories about us negotiating with free agents being written for Panthers.com.

Mind you, that doesn't necessarily mean we're signing him but it's different.

Probably just more of Rhule micromanaging what got put up on social media while he was here.

And we rightly should be. It will all come down to the fit, contract length and cost. We can't go into 2023 with a rookie QB, last year's rookie QB, and a PS QB on the roster. We're getting someone. The question is who. 

Well there is an extreme difference in the 2 philosophies.   Option 1 - top 10 rookie with bridge   Option 2 - Carr for 5 years

Yeah, this is where I'm at.  The Panthers couldn't possibly think it would be a good idea to go into this season with a rookie, Corral and Darnold.  There has to be a reliable vet in the mix and Darnold isn't it.

Depends on how long you need Donald to start I suppose.  Say you think you can have the rookie ready enough by mid season then maybe to could tolerate Sam for that long.  I think you could win most of those games with him until you let the rookie take over from there. If the rookie is a full season away then that changes things a bit. It's a tough call either way.

The only way I could see that happening is if they believe one of the rookies is ready to start now.

Is there anyone you think fits that scenario?

The coaches would have to have an extremely high level of confidence in the rookie, otherwise they're likely destroying the team's chances at a winning season by putting their eggs in Darnold's basket.

Stroud IMO.  He works well in a system, has great ball placement and tries to play a clean game.   Maybe young but he will be hurt by week 5

I don't watch college ball very often.  On the rare occasion that I do, the talent level mismatches tend to distort reality to the point where I don't trust what I'm seeing.  Too many of these top ten rookie QBs look like they're totally lost in the pro game.

I wouldn't put all my eggs in the rookie basket.  Hence, I wouldn't want the next guy up to be Sam Darnold.

      Panthers' content round up

      By Icege · Posted

      Still working on consuming all of these so I don't have summaries available, but I figured there might be another Huddler or three trying to kill time before tonight's final preseason game.   Panthers Blueprint: Training Camp The in-house produced Blueprint series has given behind-the-scenes look on the field and off. Start the day with Robert Hunt's family, be in the morning meetings, mic'd up players during practice (Jaycee, Rozeboom, Icky, and Bryce), roster evaluations by the staff, and plenty of camp highlights capping off with FanFest.   Processing Blue (Mike Kaye & Alex Zietlow Mike and Alex are back talking about a variety of topics including but not limited to: joint practice + preseason game vs. Houston, Trey Hendrickson trade rumors involving Carolina, training camp awards, draft pick draft, and various thoughts about the team.   Jordan & Jake 706: Opening Day Another in-house Panthers' production, the most recent episode of Jordan and Jake talk about how to properly balance intensity in practice, react to the starters being shutdown for the preseason finale, share their thoughts on the newest Panther QB, and more.   Raw Room - Ep 278 - Gas Pedal (ft. Mike Davis) Assistant special teams' coach Darren Bates' Raw Room podcast has former Panthers' RB Mike Davis on his weekly podcast. I'm about halfway through this one and it's been a lot of fun. The Raw Room guys (DB, his friend Alex Sweets, former Eagles/Chargers OT King Dunlap, and former Atlanta DB Jalen Collins) are hilarious and Mike fits right in. They talk about his football experience coming up, decommitting from Florida and how he decided on South Carolina, and more. Warning: If you're the type of person that is easily distracted by accents, despite XL being on the team, you might have issues with understanding the Memphis dialect. If you don't care about how somebody talks, just what they're talking about, tune in!

      Allen was borderline unplayable in College.  He's an absolute unicorn in terms of his career panning out the way it has.

      It's a step up in competition as well. The gap in athletic skill is narrowed from what was faced at the college level.
