Ellis - "When it comes to big time issues, like quarterback, the owner is pretty involved."

Not that this tweet made me come to this realization, but for the first time I’m allowing the possibility of a Qb at 6 run wild in my mind.

I’ve been pounding the table for a LT this whole time and thought surely we wouldn’t draft one of these QBs. But now I can’t get that nauseating thought out of my mind.

So nothing really has changed.  Matt Rhule has had final say and still does.  

Rhule just has egg on his face and guys are louder in giving opinions to him. 
 

Matt Rhule is drafting Kenny Pickett.  And Pickett isn’t good enough to convince the Panthers roster in camp he is a better option for success than Sam Darnold.

He had a bad staff around him.  But Fields still showed he was special at times last year.  Which is what you want to see.  

Horrible staff and now he faces the thing that no qb wants to go through.  Changing to a completely different offense so early in his career.  So his rookie season was a waste in scheme wise.

With the emphasis that Fitterer made on a QB inspiring and uplifting teammates, I'm starting to believe that there's hope that the Panthers target Malik Willis with the intent of having him sit behind Sam for the year unless he goes full The Darnold.

I find it difficult to believe Tepper is going to be willing to watch another year of Darnold. I really think we take a QB at #6 or we trade back to take a QB. 

I still think Baker and Jimmy G are heavily in the mix, regardless of what the media says right now.  If we don't land a QB in the draft I expect them to go after one of those 2 guys.

That’s something retarded that I can see the panthers doing.  Let the rookie learn from Sam.  Yeah that’s the tits.   Then when rhule is fired Willis can then learn another system from the new coach.   
 

build the line.  Run it back with Sam and then get a new coach and new qb and let them learn together

Doubt it.   We will not be able to afford them.   

How do you figure that? We've got the most cap space in the NFL right now, and a deal for one of them assumes we dump Sam and his salary, or at least part of it.

I don't think Darnold is our starter next year unless he's keeping the seat warm for a rookie.

I dont see any scenario where we can unload Darnold even if we agree to pay some of his salary.  Who is trading for that?  Why would we do that?   Then are you saying we are going to trade for Baker/Jimmy because that would be monumentally retarded to do something like that for a year under their current salaries.  I doubt either would get straight cut and if they did why would they come here on a 1 year deal.

 

None of that makes any sense.  Bringing them here probably isnt a realistic option

    • True.  Sam and Baker did not do well here but went on to better things under better coaching, circumstances or both.  The real question is, ‘why aren’t the Panthers able to get improved performance out of ‘broken toys’, similar to Minnesota and Tampa? That is a rhetorical question.  I think we know the answer.   [The cultural reference to Pogo dates me, I admit.]
    • Did I mention that he was on worse teams?  Yes.  Do QBs alone win games?  No.  Did Cam, on a much better team with some awesome defenses ever have 2 consecutive winning seasons?  No.  So now you are cherry picking,  If the overall stats are similar, you take a look at him.   I told you that you look at his skill set---but you wanted to tell me that he sucks and mentioned performance.  I just presented performance--and his numbers are very similar to Cam Newton's numbers--a player most call the best Panther QB ever--and I agree.  By the way, Fumbles are evidence of how bad his OL has been--so you are saying that a QB in a situation worse than Cam's who has stats and physical abilities very similar to Cam's should not be given a look when you have Bryce Young at QB?  You are going with that story because you simply talked your way into a corner and now you are trying to save face.  No good GM would do what you suggest because "he sucks."  Sorry, but the facts do not support you.  But no matter what eye-opening details I provide, there are some who are going to go their Google machines to try to find some reason to support an ignorant approach to developing the QB position.  You ignored the similarities to Cam and went cherry picking.  I know what you are doing--but I am only suggesting (as I have stated before) that we bring him in as one of three approaches to resolving the QB issue. Compete with Bryce and draft a QB. Basically, I am suggesting that Jones has the potential to replace Dalton and compete with Young.  He is a battered stock that could get better in a better situation--that is human nature.  Instead, I am called a Daniel Jones lover and superfan.  That is good debate--But a real sign of mature thinking is the inability to LOGICALLY consider alternative perspectives--which is actually a characteristic of intelligence.  Just so you know, I critique and perform research in my job.  I am often amazed at how the numbers do not support my suppositions.  I learned that my impression is often wrong until I look at the data.  In this case, I have considered all the important variables and he should get a shot.  Numbers don't lie--and when you and others resort to twisted name calling directed toward the poster--it verifies my position.  
    • I don’t get this, I know that is the popular thought process but I just don’t think it’s true.  For instance head to head last year the ACC had a winning record against the SEC.  The SEC had a losing record in bowl games. This year so far the head to head is 2-3 SEC and that’s with a fluke Vandy win in week one.  I see the ACC taking another head to head winning season after next week.  The SEC is mostly hype with 3 good teams, in my opinion.  But to say any ACC team would get exposed I believe is a stretch
