Andy Dalton is a Panther

[WarPanthers89]

Lol at the people mad at this. It’s exactly what we needed, cheap vet QB who can mentor and will be decent if called upon. We didn’t sign him to be a starter….our new rookie franchise QB will be counted on each week.

Fields was always complimentary of Dalton in that role.   So that’s a bonus that Dalton can embrace the moment when it comes 

Dalton is also a former pro bowler and playoff guy.  So he has kinda seen the highs and lows you want from a real vet mentor QB.  

I mean I don’t want to watch Dalton play a single game but he makes a lot of sense if you plan to draft a franchise QB in this draft like us….to have guide the kid into the league.

Folks Dalton is a damn good backup QB--he has been starting in this league for a while.  No issues with this.

[OneBadCat]

Eww this guy is basically DCU Sam Darnold.

wanted Carolina to sign him a year ago

I think the signing of  Andy Dalton was a good deal because he is a capable starting quality player who can plug in if the first rd. pick isn't ready to start early in the season.

I think this means Richardson is less likely

If Richardson was the guy, I think we'd have signed Brissett as he'd be better than Dalton to start while Richardson sits and learns.  That combined with Brissett being familiar with Reich, he would have made too much sense if we were drafting Richardson.

I think this just signaled Stroud or Young.

People, it isn't too much. He is a backup. I would understand the frustration if he was gonna be our starter.

[NJPanthers89]

I'm glad this was a priority when we have literally no weapons to speak of in the WR, RB or TE room.  But hey Andy Dalton is going to be a great mentor..

 

This is a horrendous signing at this stage of FA..

[Tr3ach]

The panthers had to sign an experienced qb regardless of if they ever start or not.  This doesnt make it any more likely they are going to draft AR.  This was a required move for any rookie.  If anything to me it makes it less likely its AR because Dalton is clearly more of a veteran backup than a bridge.
