Darnold might be the next one out the door

This team extended Darnold and Anderson prior to the season too.

Darnold is an $18M dead-money hit as a post-June 1 cut in 2022.

Anderson is an $11M dead money hit, post-June 1 in 2022.

I though Hurn-Dawg had left the Panthers organization?

I think the Anderson extension is more egregious than Sam's but that's just me.

Arguable... can't say your wrong.

But extending Darnold?  Did they actually think he'd perform so well this year under their brilliant leadership that extending him for $18+M was a better bet?  Because, if they did, I question their judgement.

The SAFER bet would have been not to extend him and if, yet again in 2021 he was again Sam Darnold, if they *wanted* to keep him they could keep him at a lesser cost and, if the fool chose to leave anyway, have no impact on the salary cap.

But, like I said, its as if Hurn-Dawg's ghost continues to haunt the GM offices.

after the season, maybe

right now? absolutely not

and not watson. the panthers could have made that move already and chose not to

I don't think Watson would've been allowed to play this season, though, as the NFL would've stepped in.

There's just a less than zero chance they are moving him in the middle of the season.  Sure at the end of the season if this game is the rule rather than the exception.  But anyone claiming to know that outcome yet has spent a little too much time with the mushrooms I think.

Well if we look at it from a cold, analytical standpoint,  he had 4 games (3 of them wins where he threw close to or over 300 yards) where he looked promising.

Then he laid a giant TURD in a punch-bowl today. 

4 solid games to 1 sh-tshow shouldn't be the cause of wanting him to be shipped out of town but the problem is that it showed that with CMC, Sam Darnold doesn't seem to be able to raise his game to the next level.    Granted, it's still early but this recent start illustrates that scenario.

Yep. Honestly the moment a team planned to suit Watson up, he'd end up on the commissioner's exempt list immediately. The only reason he hasn't yet is simply because it hasn't been necessary.

I hope our owner is pissed at what he saw today

Oh you better believe it.

Tepper does not suffer fools gladly.

I bet he's keeping a close eye now on Aaron Rodgers, Russel Wilson, or any other Vet QB out there....

    • You're not reading.  This isn't about his college performance. It's about his NFL prospects. The Golden Calf of Bristol was one of the greatest college players of all time. That didn't mean he was a great NFL prospect. Hunter is an elite of the elite NFL CB prospect who was a great college WR too based primarily on absurd physical talent and just natural ball skills. Could he be an elite WR if he focused on that? Honestly, probably. But in terms of him being the best WR prospect in this draft? No. His skill set is just way too raw as a WR. He just looks way more natural and instinctual playing CB.
    • Yea...another Brooks move and I yelling. I'll reserve that till I see how many holes he fills in the draft. We all know our needs at this point.
    • AND THERE IT IS Thank you, because you posted this as I was typing up my previous response and you did EXACTLY what I said the Hunter defenders do. You're taking people having very legitimate concerns about how part of his game will translate to the NFL and making it into someone talking bad about him as a college player. THEY ARE NOT THE SAME THING Go back and read every post I made about him this year, I consistently said he's a true generational collegiate talent, one of the rarest of them all.  But that doesn't mean jack squat when it comes to evaluating what kind of player he'll be in the NFL, or even just what position is best for him. If you want to think differently, that's totally fair, but pointing to things like stats and awards is just making you look like you don't know what you're talking about, because they don't mean anything.  There are so many instances of players putting up elite stats in college but couldn't sniff being even a serviceable NFL player.  Which again, isn't what myself or others are saying about Hunter, but it's just the proof that looking at stats/awards is a fools errand when projecting NFL potential and impact.
