I can't take the all in on Sam bottom of the NFL Darnold crowd serious. 

It would be one thing if he were a proven veteran, but he's not. 

He's been worse than Cam and Teddy who we've both brought in QBs for. 

I'm not all in on Sam, but think he should get a chance to show what he can do with what should be better coaching and surrounding talent.

Or Darnold is bad enough to lead the Panthers to another top ten or better pick next year while they used this year's draft to improve other areas of the team. Then they use next year's pick on a QB.

I'm fine with that too, but in that case you wasted a 4th, and future 2nd/6th as well as possibly forgoing a franchise QB option in the meantime. That's all I'm saying. That trade and Sam Darnold's presence honestly shouldn't weigh into our action at #8. Darnold just kept us from being in a situation where we felt our hand was forced to do something stupid there.

He wasn't available for trade given what anyone was willing to offer. You really think they would've passed in #8 overall at that time?

We were negotiating this trade for weeks.

The Jets have said many times they weren't definite on trading Darnold.

Even after the trade was done, some (including GM Joe Douglas) were questioning whether they should have.

It's actually not guaranteed that either of them will be available at our pick.

 That is what worries me. I feel draft picks are going to be passed around like playing cards tomorrow. I imagine we trade down in this scenario.

If you don't have a QB, you can't compete in the NFL.  Do we have one? 

I agree with the FO, you can't have too many good quarterbacks on your roster.  We have spent years spending first round picks on guys we knew would be backups/role players at RB, LB, DL, etc.   If Sam ended up being a legit lotto ticket that Fields couldn't jump? That wouldn't actually be bad.  We would have real value on our roster.  To do what we wanted with. 

The Panthers might. Won't know until he hits the field with the team.

Unlike other positions, teams only play on QB at a time. So, yeah, you can have too many good ones on the roster. If they are good enough to start, they are going to want to play. It happens in college all the time now. It would be worse in the NFL where millions are on the line.

Is it fair to judge the current FO by what previous regimes did?

I think that's a lot of us.

I haven't seen anyone definitively saying Darnold will be a star.

He's gone through new coaching once already. And the incoming staff at the Jets decided it was time to move on. 

It's still up in the air as to how good our coaching staff is. 

But I recall these same arguments being made last year with regard to Teddy who ended up looking like the same guy he's always been. 

And to be fair, if the Panthers pass on a QB, if one is available, and Darnold doesn't work out the coaching staff better pray to high heaven the guys they passed on look just as bad.

Fields would be worth less than what Carolina spent on him. Drafting a QB is a terrible move for Carolina at this point. The only thing worse would be reaching for a bum like Jaycee Horn.

A better move than betting the franchise on Darnold which is what you're doing passing on a franchise QB prospect at #8.

It's not betting the franchise on Darnold. It's betting a year on Darnold and seeing what you have with him. If he's bad, Carolina will be right back in position to take a QB next year.

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.

      Tom Pelissero: Ejiro Evero name to watch when coaching cycle commences

      By SteveSmithTD89 · Posted

      Respectfully, I completely disagree. Last year we were:  32nd in Sacks. 32nd in Turnovers.  32nd in Rushing TDs allowed  29th in Scoring.  We were absolutely atrocious on defense last year and that was with a full stable of weapons in Derek Brown, Frankie Luvu and Brian Burns that played all 17 games.  Using yards per game as a metric to guage our success lacks the context that because our offense was so inept teams were not driving the length of the field, they were starting at their 40-50 yard line.  This year, our Defense ranks:  31st in Sacks. Tied for 19th in Turnovers  31st in Rushing TDs allowed 32nd in Scoring  His defense fails to get pressure, fails to turn the ball over and fails to stop the run. Three things you absolutely have to do to be successful in the NFL.  Denver meanwhile has not missed a beat without him.  If another team wants to hire him as a HC and the Panthers get two 3rds for it I'll wish him the best and pack his bags myself.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      Ah, the ol Cam Newton hating.  I will give you credit, the week of pretending to be a Daniel Jones super fan is a very clever way to disguise your hatred of Cam.
