Andy Dalton is a Panther

I don't hate it. He's at worst comparable to Darnold's last couple years here, but with the added benefit of 1) playing pretty well for years, 2) 12 years' NFL experience, and 3) the knowledge going in that he's unlikely to start a ton

Also a redhead wearing # 14..... Darnold PTSD will ensue.

I don't think it points to anybody.

That's just people viewing stuff through their own goggles.

Yea, I agree....I'm just hoping we don't try to recreate Cam....I don't think for a second this staff would, but who knows. 

Maybe Morgan sees a lot of Allen in AR....again, hope not.

If we're drafting a QB at #1, and of course we are, this was the best possible move.

Dalton is a good QB with a lot of miles, a lot of wins, 100 more TDs than INTs and is at that stage of his career where he can really mentor someone without trying to take the limelight away. 

The fact he spent the last season getting to know the opponents in the NFCSouth and New Orleans' predilections in particular is a big plus.

Smart grab.

You’re right, a backup QB is more important than a starting WR and RB.  I guess we both see who actually watches football and who doesn’t loser.

I don't understand this post. You have to have a backup QB. Smart teams have a backup QB that has some capability of actually winning games.

Not sure how this relates to starting WR and RB though. You think we can't sign people because of Andy Dalton or something????

Considering these numbers, Dalton was pretty much the only option if they were set on the veteran mentor type

What on earth are you smoking?  This is an amazing signing given the situation we are in.  This guy has been around a long time, know what the means?  Means he knows how to take care of himself on and off the field, knows that a good routine means everything.  In other words knows what it takes to 1) Be a quarterback in this league and 2) Have a long term career.  All the things I which Cam would have had when he got here.  How can anyone be upset with this signing knowing we are about to draft a rookie QB.  The jump from college to pros is huge!  Not just in talent but MONEY / Problems / Fame.  Our young QB will need someone to help mold habits that not only allow him to be successful NFL QB but a successful long term NFL QB. 

Amazing? How many championships has been part of in his illustrious career? Who has he been replaced by at every stop?

The weight on any #1 pick is enormous and crushing. They will need much more around them and be among the best in NFL history than a QB who has never been able to make success happen. There is a reason top 5 QBs continually struggle and fail at a predictable rate and in a predictable fashion.

Believe it or not… Last season, #Panthers QB Andy Dalton ranked:

+ 1st in Accurate Pass % +

3rd in depth-adjusted Cmp%

+ 6th in PFF Pass Grade All while throwing to a bottom-7 receiving corps

Got twice as much as Andy 

[glenwo2]

Dalton?

Really?

[glenwo2]

Of all the Vet QBs the Panthers could've gone after,  *THIS* guy (who played as bad, if not worse, than Sam did in the last game) is who the Panthers select to be the "bridge"?  

 

Is this a joke?

I think they both got the same guarantees also close to the other backup contracts signed everywhere......feels like the same agent on all of them...

The first time he fugs up everyone will be clamoring for the rookie. He’s a good teammate and doesn’t have an ego. An upgrade over Sam. 

Sam had an ego?   (well okay...the Podcast BS didn't do him favors but still)

Sam wasn't a good teammate?

 

Perhaps focusing more on his career numbers instead to support your argument would be wise.    

Andy has had the better career than Sam and that's what puts him over the top here.
