Growl

Starting Sam darnold at QB again is not an option and it isn’t going to happen. Furthermore, when the panthers are picking at 9 next season, we are once again going to have to listen to you prattle about how the QB talent just isn’t there and that we should wait another year. At some point you have sack up and face the prospect of drafting a bust. The good news is that if your rookie QB does implode you can simply try again next season, but you have to at least purchase an opportunity at success. There is no opportunity for success with Sam darnold.

Lol you want to put Sam Darnold out there again? That’s your plan? hahahahaha no thanks. Having the same QB from year to year isn’t an ideal to be accomplished if the QB is the leagues worst. What QB will the panthers be able to acquire next offseason? Which QBs will be available? Where will they be drafting? unless you know the answers to those questions then you cannot bypass having a bird in hand.

To be clear, you don’t feel the position is valuable, or you have a well defined and predictable roadmap for acquiring one elsewhere this off-season?

It honestly doesn’t matter. Rhule is a lame duck.

I mean I doubt it but it is abundantly clear that the panthers exist as a vessel for the enhancement of Dave teppers legacy

this is just a dumb take that reeks of something you read on a draft blog and not a legitimate way to build an NFL team calling a franchise QB “gratification” or a “luxury” or whatever other stupid buzzword you weirdoes who live in debilitating fear of a “bust” as if you have some personal investment at stake in this specific pick’s success is just dumb and out of touch with what it takes to win in the current NFL.

who cares? Youve still got to hope that the roster is adequately prepared for the next staff.

Name a player that has developed over the last two seasons. i really can’t. i can name a lot of players that have plateaued, I can name a lot that have regressed.

wow what a really novel insight into the mind of player evaluations anyways, setting isms aside and getting back to how teams actually operate the draft.

David tepper is a coward if he doesn’t march out in front of that podium and take the heat for this, there’s no excuse left for bringing rhule back other than the money you’d have to pay him to go away

If the panthers use the 6 overall pick on a center then I honestly hope they just move the team somewhere else not that i expect it. Most of the time once the coaches start getting involved in the scouting process you start to see a change at the top of the draft and guys like that begin to fall. Probably likely that the center doesn’t go until the 20’s.

It’s a failure to understand where the panthers are at as an organization. whomever the scouting department projects as the best QB. I’ve said that several times now.

there’s no such thing as a surefire anything, especially at the OT position, but aside from that who cares an OT isn’t changing the future of your franchise, and when you’re picking as high as the panthers are, that’s what you’re in the market for.

It’s a huddle tradition 1. it’s a weak QB class, don’t reach, just wait 2. wow these guys are actually good 3. This class isn’t as good as last year’s, repeat step 1

Reach? Lol. Are you suggesting no QB will have a 1st round grade? Are you suggesting none will pan out? i don’t care about “busts.” You don’t make draft picks under the weight of crippling fear that it may not pan out. They all might fail.

I’m sorry was that not clearly demonstrated the team has to acquire a franchise QB instead of getting sucked into this illusory approach of “just making sure we come away with a good player”

You will be making this exact same post this time next year as is huddle tradition.

If the panthers had done it the other way around last draft, if they had taken the QB presented to them despite it being deemed a “weak class,” the panthers would have the most important position on the field solidified and an open venue of top picks to select from you could take a LT, you could also take a premiere edge rusher who can actually set the edge and not have to overpay Hassan reddick, or you could’ve taken the CB now You never pass on a top QB prospects when you have a need a QB. You only delay your ability to properly assess where your roster is. it would be great to be talking one of these guys-one of these “can’t miss” tackles will certainly be there past pick #12 or so-but you can’t keep doubling down on the same mistake. it’s time to draft a QB.

Y’all can’t even decide which of these “generational” “can’t miss” OTs is the best in the class. it’s like this every draft.

He’ll be a 49er in two months

Brian Flores out in Miami thats two coaches better than rhule who have lost their job

Panthers should probably be on the phone right now trying to hire zimmer as their next HC, but since they apparently want to ride rhule into the ground (thought we were there) they should be begging him to come be the DC. it’d actually be a great setup for Zimmer, you’re being given a talented defense and will probably be the interim HC by midseason. it won’t happen though because rhule isn’t moving on from any more of his boys than he’s absolutely forced to in the interest of self preservation

One last touchdown for Cam would’ve been a great thank you and a nice little gift for the fanbase but this circus sideshow was still trying to make Darnold happen in the hopes that it would save his job

Hey tepper enjoy your empty stands

they brought him one time to hand the ball off and then made him watch from the sideline as Sam darnold was emasculated every time he was given the opportunity to run, all because Matt rhule was desperate to prove the darnold trade was actually a Really Smart Play gonna enjoy hearing about how terrible things are going for rhule next season
