So what happens if we do end up re-signing Darnold? Hell, we’re already reportedly having preliminary talks with him which should already set off alarms for you. Is this new highly touted coaching staff with universal league-wide respect, just a bunch of blind delusional buffoons or what? That’s the problem with taking these arrogant hard-line positions on how “obvious” it is that a player is trash - it becomes pretty awkward when a respected non-Rhule coaching staff ends up signing him.

I would assume it would mean we simply couldn’t get a good option at a good price.  And therefore signed a bad option to be a pointless warm body.

Reich needs to have a winning season given Wilks went 6-6 with a revolving door of qbs and didn't get to pick his players or coaches like Reich did. So the days of starting a rookie and going 4-13 aren't going to cut it. We need a qb who can win now and allow any rookie to develop over time as has been traditionally the case. Mahomes benefitted greatly from sitting a year and watching Alex Smith for example. What vet is a better value??

Still salty, I fuging love it

Lots of people think he did pretty good.

Again no one says we shouldn't draft a qb but the question is whether Darnold at say 15 million is a better value for example than Carr at 30 mil. And whether he can start until a younger guy can take over.. Should be interesting what they decide with Carr on Monday after seeing and interviewing the draft class.

Those people are wrong. If Darnold starts next year this team will not make the playoffs and Darnold will be the reason why. You can not win consistently with the way Wilks ran the offense last year. 
You just can’t and that is the only way you can limit Darnold making mistakes. 
He isn’t a QB you can rely on if the running game goes to pop.

We can pay a lot less for poor QB play than 15 mil. I don't really care about the money though, I care about winning.

Win now and Darnold should never be used in the same sentence. lol

It is one that has historically been used to compare qbs so it has legitimacy and long standing. You don't ignore it just because it doesn't fit your agenda.

Taysom Hill and Blaine Gabbert had the best QB ratings in the NFL last year   

you generally won't find them or Sam Darnold listed and tracked on most sites because he and they didn't play enough.  And when you barely play, the results get skewed significantly vs the field.   So they exclude them from even showing because of that. 

You don't ignore it.  You also can't take a number like that a face value.

David Newton has reported that the Panthers have already had "preliminary discussions" with Sam Darnold.

Define "Preliminary discussions".

What does that even mean?

Is it like "Say, Sam....You want to come back?"   Sam's like "Sure."  and that's that?

 

Or is it "Uh Sam...so if you want to come back, you'll have to be a backup or a Bridge QB 'cause we're drafting one."  Sam's like "uhh....." ????

I doubt he would even know that as well.

Chemistry doesn’t mean anything. He will still turnover the ball like crazy. 

You're just continuously throwing a tantrum here at anyone even remotely suggesting he return.

Relax, man. 

When all is said and done, two things will have happened :

1.) We sign a different Vet to backup whomever we draft

or

2.) We re-sign Sam to backup whomever we draft.  

 

But here's the rub with #2 as there's no guarantee Sam would entertain being a backup at just age 25(going on 26) so the chances of him moving on are even higher right now.

Now this...

It's possible Kleiman has heard something more from David Newton, but if all he's doing is citing Newton's recent tweet that mentioned "preliminary discussions" with Darnold's people, I think he's overstating it a little bit.

LOL.

      The Ringer NFC Offseason podcast

      By frankw · Posted

      The division is most certainly wide open. The Bucs are a problem but Baker Mayfield is and will remain his own worst enemy it's a matter of when not if he has a bad game or even a stretch of bad games. As far as the Panthers they have done an admirable job of trying to address needs as best they can without pulling a Scott Fitterer and getting desperate which has only made us worse off in the past. On the Bryce subject all anyone can really say at this point is we just have to wait and see. This is the year and despite what the Panthers may say publicly doubling down and going all in on WR is as good as any sign anyone should need that they expect Bryce Young to have a very productive and convincing season. The pieces are in place. They aren't perfect but nothing ever will be. Regardless there's honestly no excuse for this staff and this team not to be able to compete in this iteration of the NFC South. Also just want to say this because I can say the hyper defensive posts already being made in here and it's probably going to be a season with highs and lows again but hopefully more highs for sure. But just because there is dialogue about a position group or a player that challenges your preconceived notions or makes you uncomfortable does not make it "hate" or "anti" this player or that player. For some people who talk a lot about nuance you would think this wouldn't need to be stated but that's where we're at.

      We joke about how the NFL has a script for the season. But maybe it's not a joke?

      If I was a coach I would preach "Don't let the refs decide the game" because as soon as you let the NFL the chance to help their bottom dollar whether it be teams that make most money or gambling then they will screw the team that doesn't fit their bottom line......is it rigged? No but do they try and make certain narratives happen abso-freakin-lutley. As I stated in a previous thread NFL players are the ones that SHOULD have all guaranteed contracts but the boot lickers on this forum disagree and argue for the billionaires in this world who own these teams, sheep

      I wont go quite so far as to say games are rigged.  You wouldnt have to work hard to convince me there was the occasional thumb on the scale but outright rigged? nah.   but collusion on the rest of the "business" of football, sure.  No one really believes that the only time the 32 owners act as one is during the negotiations of the CBA do they?
