Does this also apply to Bill Cosby?

I respect you guys for saying this--- I was going through some stuff and did not know about the rape--I was thinking only propositions. Still, some will follow this by saying, "Win at all costs!!!" and it will not bother them--they would want him on the team regardless. These are the mindsets that put women in these situations--when they glamorize a rapist by trivializing his crimes, they are part of the problem. Still, those without morality and ethics will not see this logic--they will call us soft because they are so hard core. Lack the empathy to put their sisters or mothers under him and visualize what that must have been like.

I would also like to point out that TOM BRADY would have sucked in NY (Jets) last season. That was the worst run franchise I have ever witnessed. So hold Darnold to that standard and close your minds now if that is how you process things, but a 24-year-old in that situation should have struggled. And here is a newsflash for you gloom and doomers: It could take Darnold a few games to get into a groove. This ain't Madden.

I agree, but to be clear, I was relating the desperate men comment to those driving up the price--not the panthers. I also think the Texans are being a bit ridiculous if these reports are true.

It will always be the measure of Fitterer--Darnold vs. Fields.

I am basing this on the time of year and the baggage--but he may know. Still, until he hits the market--desperate men do desperate things.

It is very tempting, but I think we will see what we have and draft a QB if necessary.

We could trade Darnold, a first rounder in 2022, and Robby Anderson* (I know, I know) and we might get him. I am just thinking his value is lower than we think right now. *Anderson has a large salary at a position where we have Moore, Marshall, Shi, Moore again, Zylstra, Bayless--still better than we have had in a while...etc. Do not think we do this, but...

The Vikings might be in the mix as well. Not sure that they think the world of Mond. (See what I did there?)

Man, I am torn. I want the Panthers to be great, and this could be the missing piece. On the other hand, I can't afford massages. I believe character matters, and I believe in second chances. I might low ball the Texans to see what they might take, keep Darnold, and hope he plays well. Having 2 QBs is great.

Hello, this is Officer Lindelo from the FBI pedophile division....could you come by the office tomorrow and answer a few questions?

Pulling for him more than you know.

Not with the Brady Bunch. The Jets had a terrible staff, scheme, and personnel. Tom Brady would have sucked there.

Like Chicken Little?

So we should evaluate him based on his performance as a Jet with that coach and in that system with that personnel? That makes sense. His first camp as a Panther in the Brady system with these receivers and this defense. The man is 25--I am not ready to call him "Trash" and you should not be either.

We shall see. But to dismiss a player before his first camp is also trash.

He is a bit fragile.

Let's see how he does in man coverage. I think he will be better.

I am so happy Marty is gone.

I think we should storm the castle and knock Igo out of his little throne and crown Verge. If that is a thing we can do.

Wolf Blitzer might have played pop warner football. Just sayin--awesome name.

Think about it---we are sitting in pretty good shape. 1. Darnold is on a rookie deal for now. If he plays well, we lock him up and pass on Watson. If he does not, we dodge that bullet and make the move for Watson. 2. Our future cap figure is pretty low (2022...) 3. Watson is not my favorite option; I would rather see Darnold play well and not have to take on a player with baggage. That could divide the fan base to a degree. It does not matter if you or I are OK with Watson; this is a business and the QB is the brand. However, talent suggests he gets $40m per and someone will pay it.

I beg to differ. That is an impressive squirrel.

The secret to keeping your core is not paying them, it is hitting in the draft. For example, if you can get 2 starters each year, and 2 players develop into starters after the first year, then you always should have about 10-12 starters on rookie deals. If half your staring roster is on a rookie deal, the other half is much easier to manage. I would estimate that of the 11 or so players on second or third contracts, only about 5 should be on elite-level contracts. In our case, that will be (2022's crystal ball): CMC Darnold (hopefully) Moton Burns Moore That is a bit offensive (pun), but we have a young defense. Some players will be ending big deals and should be shown the door as well--tough calls to make--Shaq comes to mind. However, do not forget that we still have some big dead money debt.
