And now you're constantly trying to get rid of that while he's 23 and showing regular improvement sooo... you're making the exact opposite of the point you think you are, by quoting their best statistical seasons that came years later.  It could easily be interpreted to say surrounding cast, scheme, and development time are needed and that qbs can actually improve over time.

I wasn’t gonna say it but thank you.

I always felt like Mayfield never got a legitimate shot here. Compare the absurdly limited amount of rope he was given vs what we've given BY.

That was because Rhule knew he didn’t have time. We really should have kept him, but at the same time if we still went Reich it would have never worked.

That's the thing, there is no reason to make that decision now because they don't have to consider 5th year option right now.

Not now, but about this time next year.  Generally that deal gets done in the offseason heading into year 4.  If a QB goes into the season in their 4th year with no 5th year option, you know where the team stands with that player.

I just find it utterly hilarious just how badly this place trashed Darnold and Mayfield while they were here and now we keep finding excuses to blame their success somewhere else on everything else except us. 


It’s sad that people are stilling putting the blame on the QB.

Accurate in a talent vacuum but no one was questioning Mayfield and Darnold's NFL talent.

Yes they were that’s why they were traded or released.  You’re obsessed with size and arm strength, that’s not the problem with this offense. 

Absolutely false. Performance on the field does not equal raw physical talent.

And it's absolutely false that I'm obsessed about size and arm strength. I've said repeatedly over the years that ideal size and arm strength gets QBs over drafted more than anything else. But you have to check the box. With today's more spread offenses and shotgun formations ideal size is less important than it was on the past but arm strength still matters. You don't have to be Josh Allen but it's a really tough row to hoe when you're Bryce Young.

Everyone was questioning that.

The narrative was that Darnold was too dumb to play in the league.

Baker looked like he couldn’t play football when he was here.

To be fair, nobody outside of a few posters on this board question Bryce’s talent this year either. Everywhere else is positive on him since his return. Gotta imagine by year 4 (if you’re comparing to Darnold and Bakers year 4) it’ll be the same.

Sam had every opportunity available, he failed himself. On the other hand, one could argue that Baker didn't get a fair chance. He was traded for late, had to split snaps with Sam, and never seemed to find his rhythm.

Either way context matters, both players had their chances and neither were successful

      Panthers offseason priorities: Lengthy to-do list follows long-awaited trip to playoffs (January 22nd article)

      By TheSpecialJuan · Posted

      Since this January 22nd outlook from Joe Person, the Panthers have already taken significant steps to address several of those primary offseason needs. The addition of Jaelan Phillips immediately elevates the pass rush, Devin Lloyd strengthens the off-ball linebacker group, and the signing of Rasheed Walker provides a stopgap at left tackle. Separately, Jalen Coker remains in the team’s long-term plans and is expected to be extended later.

      Panthers offseason priorities: Lengthy to-do list follows long-awaited trip to playoffs (January 22nd article)

      1) Improve the pass rush The Panthers didn’t get much at all from DJ Wonnum or Pat Jones, who played in only four games before undergoing back surgery. The Panthers could try to take a big swing at free-agent Trey Hendrickson, but Jaelan Phillips is younger and had one of his best seasons in Miami under Vic Fangio, whose scheme is similar to Evero’s. 2) Find a left tackle stopgap Morgan has already invested a lot in the offensive line, and has a decision to make on free-agent center Cade Mays. Morgan said he planned to add to the line even before Ekwonu’s injury. Now it’s a necessity, whether through the draft or by signing a swing tackle in free agency. 3) Sign an off-ball linebacker who can cover The Panthers signed Christian Rozeboom as a depth linebacker last offseason, but the former Ram was thrust into the starting lineup due to Josey Jewell’s concussion issues. Rozeboom, a free agent this winter, was solid against the run, leading the team with 122 tackles and coming up with three takeaways. But he was a liability in coverage, which Matthew Stafford exposed on the Rams’ game-winning drive. Trevin Wallace also failed to take a step forward before a shoulder injury ended his season. 4) Start grooming a new QB2 Seven hundred words into this and we’ve yet to mention Bryce Young, whose improvement in his third season helped snap a seven-year playoff drought. While it’s not at the top of the priority list, the Panthers are talking about developing another QB behind Young. Andy Dalton has been a strong mentor for Young, but he’ll be 39 in October and Morgan indicated he wants to 5) Bring in a speedy safety with range This is another one that I’m pretty sure was on the list last year, when the Panthers in fact addressed the position in free agency and the draft. And while Tre’von Moehrig and Lathan Ransom were good pickups, both are physical players whose strengths are run support, arriving at the ball in a bad mood and blitzing effectively. The Panthers could use a rangy, post safety to patrol the back end in Evero’s single-high looks. Nick Scott, a pending free agent, had that spot last season when he started 17 games and racked up 111 tackles, both career highs. Dave Canales loves Scott’s leadership, and — like Rozeboom — I could see him back in a rotational role. 6) Lock up Jalen Coker long term Coker, who had nine receptions for 134 yards and a touchdown in the playoff loss to the Rams, is an exclusive rights free agent this offseason. So the Panthers could offer him a one-year deal at the league minimum and Coker wouldn’t be able to negotiate with other teams. But why not reward a player who heeded Canales’ message to get in better shape, and do so before his price goes up? 7) Go YAC hunting The Panthers will look to continue to stack playmakers around Young, with fans often asking about tight end. But I get the sense the Panthers are more interested in adding a fast, shifty wideout they can use on jets sweeps and bubble screens, and count on for yards after catch. It’s how Canales often used rookie Jimmy Horn this season.   https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6989897/2026/01/22/panthers-offseason-priorities-edge-rusher-left-tackle/

      It is time to Consider the Likelihood of WR at #19

      By jfra78 · Posted

      I was against WR in the 1st, but I can see the appeal now that Tukafan is against it.  He is a tmac fan 1st and Panther fan 2nd
