New Orleans at 16? Who is going to be their QB? Mr. Turnover or Mr. Go Go Gadget? Brees was always good for 2 or 3 extra wins a year. I don't see JW winning those extra games.

Looking at the most recent depth chart (taken with a grain of salt) I can see possibly four or five of those picks ending up on the PS. Pride, STO from 2020 and Hoskins, Fletcher and Smith from 2021. Our depth at WR is crazy and it's possible the Smith would be the odd man out. Probably not just because he probably wouldn't last long but POSSIBLE Fletcher if they decide to keep JJ one more season Hoskins as our depth at DT is pretty solid STO and Pride could go (if eligible) Question is, who if any doesn't last on the PS and is picked up by someone else. IMO Pride and Smith are probably the most in danger.

I'm all in on first ballot. He was probably the most feared WR of his era. He terrorized DBs and DC for most of his 16 seasons. A rare triple crown winner in 2005. His highlight reel i could watch over and over again. I won't be shocked if he doesn't get in but If I were a betting man (which I'm not) I'd bet he gets in first ballot.

So sad. RIP Cosmo Girl. In 2003, I started working overseas and in 2005 I went to the Minnesota / Carolina game. Prior to the game I communicated with a fellow Panther fan and they invited me and my date to join them at their tailgate party. They had a nice Carolina Panther Van and they treated us so well. Not long after that visit, maybe a year, the gentleman passed away. So sad, not only an avid Panther fan but a great man (and his wife). I cannot for the life of me remember his name but it's terrible when we lose part of our Panther family. Of course everyone remembers Cat Man. I actually got a picture with him and my family after one of the games we went to. To the rest of us, I pray for health and happiness as we fight through this crazy pandemic. Please stay safe.

I don't necessarily agree that Darnold isn't a good candidate but I do agree that our depth at QB would prevent us from utilizing it. Some of Sam's runs from his days in NY shows he has the ability to make plays with his feet. If we do utilize it, it is imperative that he understands to slide and not push for extra yardage like Cam used to. Just Slide Baby,

True, but if Tremble turns out to be a solid TE you, as you say, keep your drafted talent. Paying two top dollar TE is tough in this age of the salary cap.

It also gives the QB the option to run the ball as well.

Darnold to Arnold should have Chris Berman drooling. If Arnold and CMC become Darnold's safety net our only major concern will be if our O-Line can hold up long enough to utilize them. My only worry is that he develops into a Olsen Clone but leave after his 2 year deal. Hopefully, Tremble will develop into a good TE giving us the opportunity to let him walk after 2022.

I wouldn't say all. Big Ben, Rodgers and Brady just to name a few. Darnold is young and is maneuverable with decent speed. You call it at the right time it could be a game changer.

No, No, No. If being a former 1st round pick and being shopped already isn't enough for you. How about we already have a nice young secondary that would mean we have to let someone go that could potentially help us later on. I like our CBs and think we have a bright future at CB. I would be much more interested in an O-Line man that might be available than a red flagged former first rounder.

Unlike Little, Christensen is highly athletic. It's obvious that he has to step up and play with the big boys now and has some growing to do to get there. I'm in agreement that he probably won't see the field until the end of the season or next year. I believe he is worthy of his pick and will produce.

Speed isn't the only attribute that we need. If Saunders or Zylstra has the ability to get open and make plays that is what should concern us the most. There have been many slow receivers that made careers in the NFL because they had a knack at finding an open spot on the field and producing first downs. If either of these guys make plays it's a plus for our offense. I would imagine we'll keep one of them on the active roster and the other to the P.S.

Darnold has show the ability that he can run the ball. We've all see the highlights of him running the ball, mostly scrambling. I wonder how he would do in a planned run. Do you think Brady might install a couple RPO plays for Darnold? I know it isn't too wise being the state of our backup QB spot but having that as an option just makes this offense even more potent. I'm not implying Cam-esk runs but one or two per game would keep defenses honest. It's a conversation piece, I am not fully endorsing it, I just would be interested in everyone's opinion.

While it isn't always a good idea. If the situation arises and you are certain you can make the throw. it could be the difference in winning or losing a game. Old video shows that Darnold has the talent to make that throw. Many superstar QBs make that throw everyday and twice on Sunday.

From what i saw on ESPN yesterday It isn't all peaches and cream. He's been struggling.

I am looking for him to have a monster season.

Honestly, I was shocked. The way they talked about him he was a shoe in for the UDFA steal of the year.

Not every one. For instance, Moton, Scott and Erving at LT. These are legitimate options for us at LT.

We have potential starters at all 5 positions. i would let Darnold start the 1st quarter and Rhule should let all those that could starton the Oline play at some point in the 1st quarter with him. CMC one series.

You know during each thread on practices since preseason started there has been one noticable statement that I see. Darnold drops a dime to *****. You can insert whatever receivers name you want. It seems he's really throwing good passes. I know there have been some bad throws here and there but for the most part it seems Dime is the preferred term. I'm excited to see how he does in live action.

Yes, Especially the OL. I am interested in Brown and Moore. Hopefully Reggie and Chuba show that they will be great depth for us at RB.

Agreed but our depth is going to be important to us. IMO this preseason our depth needs to at least show promise.

I watched the Dallas/Pittsburgh game and was really bored with the 2nd and 3rd teams playing. A lot of dropped balls and poor throws. I do believe Darnold will play more than one series in our preseason games. With so many new players how many series or quarters do the starters play. I hope that the players play better than the game I saw last night. The second and third teams looked terrible. I think the definition of a good team is the depth plays well. So if we play poorly will you be upset and angry or meh?

I saw a video where Rhule was talking about Rod Smith was being tried at FB and that if it didn't work they would probably use the TE.

It's much easier for a defense to provide press when there aren't pads on. It's great to hear he's playing well. Once he figures our his SpiderMan suit and all his weapons he's going to have a great year.
