Panthers pick up Sam Darnolds 5th

I am.

Jeremy Fowler actually said a little before the draft that the Panthers were putting it out there that they could take a quarterback but some teams weren't buying it.

Once the report got out that they weren't picking up Darnold's option yet, multiple analysts jumped on it to say that it meant we were probably taking a quarterback.

Yep, and nobody bit the hook last night.

Panthers are making a habit of getting guys with known problems and limitations and hoping they magically morph into something different on their team.

Man some of y’all can find any way to make something negative. It’s literally been ONE round of the draft jeez at least wait until it’s over to declare the Panthers incompetent.

Unfortunately, there's a lot more evidence to point to in Panthers' history than our most recent draft pick.

Kind of like Teddy Bridgewater without an offensive mind like Sean Payton? I detest the Saints but if they can go to the playoffs with two gloves and our staff can't string together some wins with Darnold it is going to start looking iffy.

To be fair, the Saints roster in 2019 was 10x more talented and experienced than the 2020 Panthers roster.

Technically we did get offers. They just weren't good enough offers for Fitterer.

Panther fans have no reason to hate Sam Darnold. We ALL want him to do well. We just have no reason to believe that all of a sudden he's going to transform into anything that he hasn't always been. 

Because Steve Young won all those Super Bowls with Tampa.

The odds are stacked against you in finding an all pro LT after the first.  None of the guys still left can come in and start.  Darnold is fuged

The only likely all-pro LT in this draft was Sewell

Panthers history with the current regime goes back to about January.

They were most likely bluffing.  Not in the way you're thinking though.  They were trying to drum up as much value for trading back as possible or hoping a team would trade in front of them to take Fields so someone else (probably Sewell) would fall and it obviously didnt work like they had hoped.

We'll see but one thing is for sure Slater is going to start day 1.  The next tier is iffy.

With this draft we should have plenty of talent on the defensive side of the ball. The void looms largest on the offensive line.

If he starts at LT day 1, yikes
