We should "Brock Osweiler" Sam Darnold if he loses QB competition and Matt Corral looks just as good.

Maybe eating that $18 for a late round pick? That is the best I can see. Free backup for a year for someone. The cap savings is he is gone after this year either way. 

No reason to do anything yet with Sam. Just sit and wait. The scary thing for me is thinking about us needing him since he is already paid for.

This is the deal I would do. Draft picks>cap savings. The cap is imaginary. Draft picks can't be faked out of thin air.

I hate that Sam is taking up a roster spot, but we're on the hook for a lot of money because of Fitt's idiotic blunder.

I can't envision Sam beating out Baker for the starting spot, but at the same time if he does then I think that's it for Rhule and Fitt. Too many mistakes for them too keep their jobs. They ran this ship straight into the rocks.

Honestly, I'd let Sam know he's competing for a roster spot. I'd carry a third QB to keep Corral as a third round rookie but I wouldn't carry a third QB to carry Darnold if he loses the primary backup spot to Corral. Yeah, there's no cap savings in releasing Darnold but roster spots are roster spots. I wouldn't keep Darnold simply because there's no cap savings in releasing him if Corral is ready to be the backup.

Of course I'm hoping Corral beats all those end of the line relics. The dashed hopes and dreams of the Brown's and Jet's in one QB room. Do I want those vibes around MC9?! Absolutely not.

Feature Sam and Baker in the preseason, trade em for picks or players later...

No more trading draft picks. Live with Sam on the roster knowing he’s gonna come in, put his head down and work without causing any issue in the locker room when he inevitably loses the starting qb spot. I know we’re eager to rid ourselves of the poo stain that is Darnold but unless a few significant qb injuries happen we should probably steel ourselves for the likelihood of him as the number 2. He might as well get used to it that’s where he’ll likely remain the rest of his NFL career.

Oh I do. Even some of our players who actually did good things here have gotten crapped on. But we are literally talking about the worst starting QB in the NFL. I'm not advocating trading picks just to dump him. But this is a professional team without back to back winning seasons in over 25 years. People complained about Richardson's family football atmosphere and paying and keeping players just for the sake of doing so because they are nice guys. This isn't that anymore. If a football team with 1 winning season in the last 11 years said enough is enough get this guy out of the building I think as Panthers fans we can stop this "you guys are just big meanies" narrative around people just wanting to move on now and get it over with.

Everyone wanted Teddy gone too until we got Sam. Then it was suddenly smarter to have kept Teddy.

      Crazy stat

      By Luuuuuuuuuuke59 · Posted

      The bottom lines to me are that a) we played well enough to beat the best team in the league and b) Bryce Young is growing into a bridge QB role (his ceiling) for us. As much as I don't want BY around after the season, it seems DC can still build the O with a game manager at QB for now. Best case scanario, we can build the D through the draft this year and take a QB we have conviction outside the 1st this or next draft. If BY keeps improving, we are going to win a couple more games this year.

      Bryce developing before our eyes

      By *FreeFua* · Posted

      Bryce has been a completely different QB since coming back. That started in Denver where it was obviously he was playing a lot more loose and willing to push the ball downfield  Bryce continues to build off of the previous weeks performance and that’s what you want to see Bryce has been making some real good anticipation throws. Reading defenses well. Pushing the ball downfield (7 throws of 20+ air yards yesterday. 8 if you want to include PI to Thielen). The deep ball accuracy has been there. Some of Young’s best throws yesterday were incompletions. Sideline balls to XL and Moore both should’ve been caught. RZ dot to Tremble should’ve been caught. And another RZ ball to Moore that Young gave him a chance at. Bryce is starting to execute Canales offense and yesterday Canales finally opened it up a bit. Canales was to blame for the 126 passing yards in Germany as he played a more conservative game.  The next bit I’m looking for his for Young to be a bit more decisive with running the ball. Start putting that on film and it’ll help open things up a tad

      Gameday Thread: KC-CAR

      By 45catfan · Posted

      This KC team isn't the juggernaut it once was.  How many one score games have they won this season?  How many of those one score wins would probably have been loses if Mahomes wasn't the QB?  Their secondary is vulnerable and it was obvious today.  Grandpa Thielen was able to get open at will all game long. Bryce played well, but thinking this is the exact same KC defense Young was able to move the ball against as last year isn't going to compute.  Last year's KC defense was #2 overall.  They have regressed. I've said it before, Bryce can move the ball before the red zone, but once there, he struggles.  He is not a threat with his legs and the passing windows get much tighter.  He's not turning the ball over, so that is a great place to start and build upon.  I still question much better he can get.  Beyond a game manager?  I highly doubt it.
