  1. This article agrees with you https://pantherswire.usatoday.com/2021/04/30/panthers-passing-justin-fields-fits-pattern-bad-moves-quarterback/?fbclid=IwAR3miR_aMxl1mj1q-_-qzqTbJJv_P__wK3cPke420nN-bqCVweLDchlmUJI
  2. Grab him because without a left tackle, Darnold will be dead by game 3
  3. Richie Grant, nice player but if they don’t want Sam ‘I’m seeing ghosts out there’ Darnold again, they best be getting that LT at 39
  4. Don’t do that there are a lot of critics on here who have no opinion of their own but like to ‘poke the people the eye ‘ who do...then you have the contrarians. Ignore it all. It’s just noise
  5. Yes, and he brought Teddy here for a reason too We know this
  6. For fug sake the future of this team is in Sam fuging Darnold
  7. Yes, I’m hopeful the new GM makes a difference the panthers under Tepper haven’t exactly handled the QB position well. That’s my opinion Others may disagree.
  8. First I’m not a coward. I am anything but. Second the comment wasn’t directed at you. I’ve liked plenty of your posts. Third, there are a lot of bullies on this board. They don’t matter to me. Fourth, it really is simple if the posts are bad and bland, why waste your time Why are you in this one. Finally, instead of wasting energy attacking someone personally or if you find the content bad and bland, ignore the poster. Not sure how that is being a coward. It’s called being an adult.
  9. Spare yourself. I didn’t mention those in discussion about this article I get to listen to your pablum too, if I choose, and you can choose to not read what I post it’s called ‘ignore’
  10. I don’t care about other teams attempts to win Some coaches are smart enough to know what to do when they are in the QB lottery and some are not playing WFT, you start Grier and your bench to ‘take a look at your starters’ and you ‘really really want to win, but you don’t start with that. Pro teams have been doing that for decades there are regular draft picks but in the modern era, QBs matter. Fowler addresses the rest of it. Brady’s red zone offensive play calls weren’t sterling either.
  11. If Darnold fails, and the Panthers screwed up their chance to get a franchise QB this draft, it’s a greater issue then the men selected to play qB, it’s the men who put that QB in that position who are not getting the job done I do not see Fields dropping, the Panthers will waste a second or third round pick on Kellen Mond, Trask or the Stanford QB
  12. nothing earth shattering but I always like Scott’s view on things as he is not a ‘homer’ My favorite quote ‘Of course, in 2022, we also may be writing about the Panthers moving on from Darnold, just as they moved on from Bridgewater, just as they moved on from Newton. What this team wouldn’t give to have the QB problem solved! Maybe Darnold is the solution, but his Jets stats would argue otherwise.’ FULL COLUMN BELOW Panthers had to dump Teddy Bridgewater, but will Sam Darnold really be any better? BY SCOTT FOWLER| [email protected] 1 hr. ago The Great Teddy Bridgewater Experiment ended as many “great” experiments do on Wednesday, with a tacit admission of failure by the Carolina Panthers and a quickie divorce on the eve of the NFL draft. Signed amid pomp and circumstance a year ago to a three-year, $63-million contract, Bridgewater could only bridge the Panthers’ troubled waters for a single season before he got traded Wednesday. The Panthers were so desperate to get out of his contract that they will now pay him millions to go away. Carolina only got a sixth-round draft choice from Denver out of this deal, and will still be paying $7 million to Bridgewater this season (the Broncos will pay him just $3 million) as he relocates to Colorado for 2021. In other words, it was an expensive divorce for the Panthers. The money part of it looks bad, and it is bad. And you know what? Bridgewater wasn’t really that bad last season, especially if you only counted the first three quarters of games. This wasn’t the second coming of Jimmy Clausen. Bridgewater set an all-time completion record for the Panthers (69.1) in 2020. His teammates loved him. He won a league-wide sportsmanship award. Carolina’s problems in 2020 went far deeper than Bridgewater’s 0-for-8 close-game performance in fourth quarters. Yes, he made a number of horrible last-minute decisions. But Bridgewater also got a bit of a raw deal: No Christian McCaffrey; a revolving-door offensive line; no help in a couple of games when he actually did play well enough to win. Still, the Panthers needed to make this move. As I wrote two weeks ago, a Bridgewater trade would be the closest thing the Panthers could get to a win-win at this point. Bridgewater gets another new beginning — and he might actually start in Denver at some point — and the Panthers get to begin trying to extricate themselves from salary-cap jail once again. The timing of the Bridgewater leak, first reported by NFL Network, was curious. It came only a few minutes after the Panthers had announced they were changing the surface at Bank of America Stadium from grass to artificial turf — a move that basically no NFL player, or pro soccer player for that matter, is ever going to applaud. Players universally prefer natural grass, believing it to be a safer surface. Within minutes, though, that piece of unfortunate news got buried,overshadowed by the headlines from the Bridgewater trade. The writing had been on the wall for this one since Carolina traded three draft picks for 23-year-old Sam Darnold — the strong-armed, inconsistent quarterback of the New York Jets — on April 5. Bridgewater’s agents were given permission to do the legwork of seeking a trade for their client, who the Panthers certainly didn’t want to pay $23 million to be a backup. So the next step of the Panthers’ continuing, post-Cam QB saga is to select another one in the NFL draft sometime in the next three days. No matter where the new QB is picked (and it might be Justin Fields at No. 8 overall), he will be a lot less expensive than Bridgewater, who is still a $17-million dead cap hit this year for Carolina. The trade gave Carolina a net saving of $6 million, according to The Observer’s Alaina Getzenberg. In 2022, though, Bridgewater will be off the books. Of course, in 2022, we also may be writing about the Panthers moving on from Darnold, just as they moved on from Bridgewater, just as they moved on from Newton. What this team wouldn’t give to have the QB problem solved! Maybe Darnold is the solution, but his Jets stats would argue otherwise. As for Bridgewater: Teddy, we hardly knew ye, and I mean that quite literally. Because of COVID-19 and the way reporters were understandably kept away from players this past year, I never actually said hello to Bridgewater in person over the entire season, much less shook his hand. I saw him only via Zoom. And in those many news conferences, I did gain great respect for the man and the way he handled himself after losses and in adverse situations, of which there were plenty. I hope this trade works out for Bridgewater, and for the Panthers. I hope everyone involved gets their QB issues solved. But given the recent history for all parties, I sure wouldn’t count on it
  13. My head will explode if Fields is there and they don’t take him and drop that low there is nothing about Darnold that screams ‘winner’ the panthers just had one reclamation project fail and that was with someone Brady wanted AND knew his system i’d hedge my bets and take Fields if he is there I guess I had too many years of Fox passing on the likes of Aaron and Big Ben because he was happy with Jake you are either getting better or you are getting worse in the nfl. as far as Darnold, tape don’t lie.
  14. I have an open mind about Darnold but I would not be ready To hitch him to my franchise wagon he simply has not done enough ...even when he could production league Want him to do well however, he had to produce year one
  15. Yes, you wil need to click the hyper link. Too in-depth to copy and paste https://theriotreport.com/film-room-just-how-generational-is-penei-sewells-talent/?fbclid=IwAR0ZSelKf3OnJ56XMQVwnVqycK_nrB70Ye1Ht0ne_GHqvCQ7tKB_soN-7mc
  16. Thank you there are many different points of view of what will happen the lynchpin, unfortunately, is Atlanta if any team benefits if fields falls, it’s them i don’t begin to know. I hope for the best seeing how I put my money and time where my mouth is by choice with this team. nothing like NFL Sunday in the stadium.
  17. I think Slater is a LT as well but the author is simply stating what more than one evaluator has said. It’s probably a 65% to 35% split with LT being the majority selection
  18. read the full link, that might help I found his take to be possible and probable based on the trade up to Atlanta for number 4 That changes everything and realistically, Fitterer will not go lower than 12 to 15 range not directed at you but some people on here bitch if you just give a link, some bitch if you give just the text or too much text , some bitch if you give both andsome just like to criticize to prove how much smarter they think they are than others and today is one of those days in which I have no patience for it I shared this because the author is someone who gives really good positional breakdowns with film justification when he is evaluating players and game outcomes
  19. You could pass it by and frankly I’ll take the opinion of the author of that article over yours I wish people would stop bitching about other people posting articles when they post nothing of value of their own
  20. The focuses of the link from BR are the first rd selections and trade down picks not compensation Many links do this. Obviously the Panthers are getting compensation
  21. 2 trade downs in the first ...picking Darrisaw. Not difficult to grasp
