    From Gantt's article about the Bridgewater trade... The Panthers cleared the way for new quarterback Sam Darnold to work without any kind of cloud over his head or doubt about his status, trading incumbent starting quarterback Teddy Bridgewater to the Broncos for a 2021 sixth-round pick.

    I know some people have suggested that either Lance or Fields could be Newton 2.0. I've said repeatedly that people with those ideas don't properly recall just how unique Newton really was.
  3. Mr. Scot
    Several teams expressed interest in trading for Darnold early. The vast majority of them weren't patient enough to wait on the Jets though. The fact that we were makes it harder for me to buy in on the idea that we have a low opinion of him.
  4. Mr. Scot
    Valid. Honestly though, I just look at it as a bad quarterback being gone and us getting something back for him is borderline miraculous.
  5. Mr. Scot
    Circling back again to saying this is year one of the rebuild rather than year two.
  6. Mr. Scot
    Sh-t like that is one of the reasons why I hate backloaded contracts.
  7. Mr. Scot
    I actually don't. Did I miss something?
  8. Mr. Scot
    No wonder he never called him.
  9. Mr. Scot
    It's not just about this season though. He's now completely off the books for next season.
  10. Mr. Scot
    That's...interesting wording.
  11. Mr. Scot
    And we might. Drafting another one assumes we don't. And again, we don't know that.
  12. Mr. Scot
    I'm a little more pragmatic on the topic of team building. If you get it wrong, you get it wrong. Good intentions don't mean sh-t. Lord knows Marty Hurney had plenty of good intentions. Doesn't make me feel any better about the fact that he sucked.

    I'm doing my best (insert Sean Connery quote here)
  14. Mr. Scot
    If you believe he's the guy, you don't pass on him. If you don't, then you do. Of course if you're wrong, and in doing so you bypassed someone who could have been "the guy" at another position, you've screwed up big time.

    Tom Pelissero indicated that agreement on draft pick compensation was the easy part of the trade. Working out how they were going to split the salary was what took time.

    Given his prognostication record, Sizzlebuzz predicting something's going to happen is about as close as you can get to a guarantee that it won't.

    I get the feeling this thread will be as popular as the one announcing they fired Marty Hurney. Wonder which of those two transactions folks feel is the bigger relief.
  19. Mr. Scot
    I said the team needed to treat him like a rookie. Based on what he's said, it sounds like Matt Rhule agrees.
  20. Mr. Scot
    I don't really think this means anything as far as our draft plans at all. It's long been known that Bridgewater wasn't going to play here this year.
  21. Mr. Scot
    We got something for him. I'm fine with that.
  22. Mr. Scot
    Based on the assumption that Darnold will be bad and Fields will be good. As mentioned previously, you don't know if either of those things will be true.
  23. Mr. Scot
    There's a restructure of some kind involved but I haven't seen specifics yet.
  24. Mr. Scot
    To quote our old friend Eugene Robinson, "It's over!"
  25. Mr. Scot
    I think that's a lot of us. I haven't seen anyone definitively saying Darnold will be a star.
