I don’t post much here, more of a lurker, but saw this and wanted to share. Interesting article from a Jets site on Darnold’s possible future discussing a trade to the Saints while we would pay 60% of his salary. I have 0% faith that this would happen, but if Darnold actually went to the Saints I would throw a huge party.

He would go there. Get great coaching then become a potential HOFr and make us miserable for the next 12 years.

Doubtful.  Jameis Winston has shown way more in his NFL career, and Payton couldn't save him.  He's a football coach, not a miracle worker.

Darnold can't read the field.  He would need to spend 2-3 seasons in study hall as a backup before he had a chance to succeed IMO.  And you don't trade for an expiring contract to pick that kind of player up.  They might scoop him up for nothing after we dump him though.

Regardless of what the Panthers do with Darnold, this team clearly needs to bring in several QB’s and let them complete. To me not having any QB competition for Darnold was as big of an error as trading for him. There were several affordable options this past offseason….

When a team doesn’t have a proven starting QB they need competition.

Saints don't have cap room for a "salary dump" type player.

Not exactly true Winston was playing well until the injury, but he’s not fixing darnold I agree there

That's fair.  He statistically had his best year with the Saints, but it's kind of a marginal improvement.  I don't think they look at him as their future at QB.  Let's just put it that way.

True, I think they are infatuated with Taysom.  Winston I think deserves more of a shot than Sam going forward since he’s shown a lot more

      Easily. To be able to plug in a backup LT without much drop off from your starter? That could mean the difference between playoffs or sitting at home in January. Good/serviceable smart young and healthy LTs that won’t lose you a ball game at reasonable $$ don’t just come along every day. Everyone talks about the most important positions on a football team… backup LT is in the top 10.  Picture next year… the team is scrappy and competitive, 4 and 3 record, second place in the South. Morale is good. devastating run game that Let’s our marginal defense get plenty of rest. We play the Bucs and win, going to 5 and 3, but we lose Ickey to a high ankle sprain. Atl loses that week and are now at 5 and 3 as well. There is no Ickey and no BC because we let him go… and we go in to Atl the next week for a battle of first in the south. Week after that is the Jets…. Now they lose both by 10 and 3, respectively, and fall to 5 and 5 going in to their bye week. Atl is at 7 and 3. Out of typical Panthers desperation, they try to rush Ickey back in to the lineup with a saints game coming up…  Back to good old Panthers football, always playing catchup. Another season at .500 and the fans sadly rejoice in mediocrity, when playoffs were in reach. This team always overestimates its ability to pick up quality o line depth in the draft or FA and it always blows up in their faces. Like Chuba, I see him as being part of the core that Dan is trying to build. Work on his contract now and see if we can come out with something mutually beneficial. I’d consider 3 yrs at $25m to be very fair.

      it would be great to have "double trouble" again, I even had a T- shirt for Williams and Stewart and the double trouble logo, was a great time to be Panthers fan. We shall see...
