It's too early tell but they "could" be right.  If Darnold is who he has been and Fields lights it up in Chicago, our team is going to look real bad.   

The bit about Samuel is goofy.  We couldn't pay him and Robby/Moore and we got a steal at WR in the draft.

Joe Brady positioned himself for a great situation next year in Chicago as the Head Coach. He got Rhule and Fitterer to pass up on Justin Fields and Teven Jenkins. He’s stepping in as a first year HC with a franchise QB and franchise LT. 

Yeah...attempting to Sabotage the Panthers was exactly his plan all along.  🙄

This is quite possibly your dumbest take yet.

Personally I'd rather have Darnold and Fields. That way if Darnold flops we have an immediate backup plan, and all it would have cost was passing on Horn. Sure Filed could be a bust as well, but I'd like to roll the dice on him.

If Horn and Fields both pan out to be very good players, then Fields is way more valuable than Horn obviously.

Fit and his scouting staff have seen something in Darnold that makes him clearly the better prospect over Fields. Rhule won't talk about Fields in a negative way to explain what makes Fields a less valuable prospect, but our scouts have seen something.

And that's saying something considering we've been talking about a Bleacherreport article.     lol.

I think the 3 seasons of experience combined with how Sam was misused in NY attracted them into acquiring Sam.    

They believe they can have Sam come in, learn the playbook, and basically "hit the ground running" so to speak as the Starting QB without too much of a learning curve (ie. Young QB learning how faster the speed of the game in the NFL is)

Sam has a leg up on every rookie QB in every conceivable metric. Except learning the playbook.

 

Sam is in a great situation.

 

If he doesn't thrive? It's pretty much on him.

 

HOWEVER...on the flip side. If he does succeed. We are golden.

 

So...win-win

Exactly.  And Sam has to realize that this is it.  

He fails HERE, then he's done as a Starting QB in every team's eyes.

It is a lot like Jameis down in NO. If he does well, he is back in the game. If he fails, he is probably going to need help to get back to starting.

 

Just the nature of the beast. Do well, and you eat. Don't do well...well it ain't pretty.

Well I don't personally like Winston's chances.   He never really impressed me much.

Sam, on the other hand, has that "It" factor.

All he needs is a supporting cast(which he now has) to use it.

When Winston came out, he scared me. But every year that fear has subsided just a little bit more. Now? He still scares me, because you never know what you will get. 

 

Now Sam? He scares me as well. Had a roller coaster career at USC, but showed enough talent to get picked at #3. Had an up and down career at NY, but showed enough talent for us to give him a shot.

 

 

It's like Good Jake, we could compete with anybody. Bad Jake? Well, let's not go there.

      Panthers agree to 1-year deal with RB Rico Dowdle

      By Basbear · Posted

      Trying to help those 3 folks who hate this move.    In 2025 2.75 million is basically the new "vet" minimum.    They still need #3 RB and returner, draft could/should be the lane for that.    There's no downside to this move, they could cut with little effect and replace with your chosen rookie.

      Tee Higgins Smoke...

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Is it though? Even looking at just this past year, DK played 3 more games and had 81 more yards than Higgins had, but he also did it on less catches, with DK averaging 15 yards per catch and Higgins with 12.5. Yes, Higgins had 10 TDs to DK's 5, but I'd say that was far less about the WRs than the QBs, seeing as Burrow had 43 TDs (and only 9 INTs) to Geno's 21 TDs (and 15 INTs).  Swap the two of them last year and DK puts up better stats with Burrow as his QB than Higgins did, no doubt about it in my mind. DK has also only missed 3 games in his career, Higgins has missed 5 in each of the last 2 seasons. People here complain about our WR speed (and it's many people's biggest issue with T-Mac in the draft), but Higgins ran a 4.59 40 and DK ran a 4.33. DK has only played one more season than Higgins but he has 1,730 yards and 14 TDs more than Higgins, despite playing with the ghost of Russell Wilson and Geno Smith, while Higgins has had Burrow. To me, there is no debate, DK is a significantly better WR than Higgins.  Give him Burrow as his QB during his career and his numbers would dwarf what Higgins has put up.
