ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reports "some" within the Panthers organization want Sam Darnold to get a chance to start

I doubt any of our qbs will be on an NFL roster next season--except for Corral.

Gotta see who's our back up for the future

The back-up business is a serious game, I have you know!

Yes it is.

Sounds like an agent trying to drum up some poo

Based on current performance, I wouldn’t be shocked. 
 

Im sure there will be some coach/gm who will remember draft position and add Sam or Baker on their roster though.

I'd be up for him starting for 2 games (without telling him he's only getting 2) if only to secure the Baker trade as a 5th. Although I'm not sure how much more we have to hold him out. I guess it depends on how much we're passing as well.

But, if you give him a couple games and he looks much better behind a better line, what have we got to lose?

Honestly it doesn't matter much who we start, so why not give Darnold some game time.

[Purrnicious]

Are people really that against seeing him? Coming into the season i thought it was a sure thing Baker would be at least a slight improvement over Sam. But we have seen such bad play from Baker i don't know how anyone can honestly say Sam has no chance to be better. If Baker looks the same vs Baltimore as he did earlier in the season i don't have any complaints about giving Sam a shot. 

 

Now if Corrall was healthy you throw them all out and see what he's got the rest of the way. But with Corrall and PJ hurt I don't see how anyone can feel confident in ranking Baker over Sam, or vice versa.

If you're rooting for a tank finish to the season, why wouldn't you start Darnold? 

Be consistent, people.  If you really despise him, if you think that he can't walk and chew gum at the same time, you have to start him just to ensure a top three draft pick.

Are we good, now?

I hope this aint Wilks

NO. Not only do I want it both ways. I want sprinkles. lol

We don’t need to pay Sam or Baker anymore money to be our backup next year. We need a FA vet and Corral to compete with our rookie. 

[KatsAzz]

Unless Baker Mayfield shows some type of magic we have not previously seen from him, I could see the Panthers letting Sam Darnold start a game or two just to see if Mayfield, Harris or him should be considered as a backup QB for the 2023 season.

[Waldo]

I just don't get why anyone wouldn't expect to see him sooner than later now that he is healthy so why be vocal about it before Baker gets his shot this week? We could end up seeing both in this game so why make any noise about Sam for another week?

Part of me hopes its McAdoo but to be fair that is the chaotic neutral part of me not wanting most of this staff around past game 17.

Stop collaborate and listen, bas is back with a bran-new based s0u-luti0n!

Play all 4 you toads!

Baker starts and plays the whole 1st

2nd belongs to Sam

3rd is PJs

4th is closer johnny hekkers time to shine!

This is like having a big date and you have three cars in the driveway:  an AMC Gremlin, a Ford Pinto, and a Pontiac Aztec.

Which one to you wash and wax and hang around the rearview mirror the fuzzy dice that smell like wild berries?
