Daboll will get fired fairly soon, IMO. He cooked himself with that move.

Starting to feel that way myself... Schoen is definitely gone seeing as he chose to pay Jones and let Barkley walk. He might have been able to survive, but then Daboll BURIED Jones all the way down to 4th string behind Tim Boyle. I'm surprised that Daboll didn't poo in Jones' locker while he was packing it up at this point because good lord did he make his disdain obvious this week.

Daboll is proving to be a fraud as a HC anyway. That team is too talented to be this bad.

One is a tried and true veteran of moderate playing ability.  The other is a wild QB bust with shattered confidence and questionable playing ability. 

I would prefer not to be shuffling two shitty QB's in and out all next season. Maybe try extending a mediocre veteran and hope for potentially mediocre results? As opposed to shooting for bottom quarter of the NFL and ending up with bottom tenth of all QB's on NFL rosters.

I get what you're saying and agree, going into next season with BY and DD is a disaster. But the bigger disaster would be in the FO. All I'm looking at is could he potentially improve the team. Potentially, yes. How big would that improvement be? Hard to say. We've seen it happen a few times in recent years with Stafford, Goff, Geno, Darnold, Baker so while improbable, it's not impossible. If he doesn't do anything of note, cut him, no harm done. But if we go into next season without addressing the elephant in the room and don't try to seriously improve the QB position, none of it matters.

Like I said earlier, my biggest concern is the FO being content to go into next season with Bryce and Dalton, even if things continue as they have been. We can't be satisfied with what we're seeing from either of these guys. All that said, I don't think Jones is coming here on Dalton's salary.

Perfect QB project for Canales. Canales has proven to be the vet QB whisperer. Passing up an opportunity to improve the QB position & lean on Canales' system would be another regrettable action.

It would be, if that is how he is seen.

I just want Canales to go get someone he thinks can do the job. If it is Jones or some guy we haven't thought of, it doesn't matter to me.

So, Stafford has literally always been an elite QB. Goff led a team to the SB so at worst he was Matt Ryan/Kirk Cousins tier. Baker was a guy that relatively stabilized the dumpster fire Browns QB situation until they wrongly gave up on him. Still was a Pro Bowl QB in Cleveland.

Smith was a wild success story, however it took many stops and many years to rise to the top.

Darnold is a wild bust that is still a bust, but he happens to be on one of the best teams in the NFL(averaged 1.3 TO's/GM for career, averaging 1.4 TO's/GM this season). Only a complete fool doesn't watch him and see that his ceiling is basically Jameis Winston. 

So....of these, you are banking on the multi-year veteran with many teams that finally made it or the still basically bust that also took multiple years and multiple stops to "make it." 

None of those situations is anything close to Daniel Jones and Carolina.

    • Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.
    • Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly. 
    • Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
