Neither Rhule nor Wilks had anything to offer Darnold when it came to QB training or experience.  Frank Reich has it in spades, with an astounding history of getting the most out of underperforming QBs.   

Now, I'm no Darnold fan, not by a long shot, but I do acknowledge that Frank Reich is likely better qualified  to determine whether Sam is worth retaining than anyone who happens to be posting in this forum.

Idk I kinda doubt Reich sold Tepper and Fitterer on continuing the Sam Darnold reclamation tour. Unless he takes a minimum deal to be a backup/camp arm he's likely seen his last days as a Panther.

There are way too many inexpensive backup QBs available every year to commit to Darnold, someone that appears to be a major reclamation project.  Reich will already have enough on his plate.  

As you say, if Darnold wants to come back on a minimum deal and compete for a place on the team he might be given an opportunity.  Chances are Reich will be bringing in a vet and there is always Matt Corral, who may still surprise us.  Also, who knows how this year's draft will play out?

Of all the Panthers players Reich will be studying in the next few weeks, Matt Corral may be the most important.  Some analysts viewed Matt as a very promising QB during last year's draft.  If Reich sees something in him, it could alter the Panthers draft priorities.

Phil Simms said he was the best qb in last years draft. Phil been pretty accurate with judging qb draft prospects.  Who knows? I guess we will find out soon enough.

Nope… Corral was a throw everything at the wall to save Rhule’s job move.. If the 3rd year jump thing happened you have Baker and a young QB developing as a backup.. Now Corral is at best case a assets that develops into a trade piece or a backup.. We’re getting our young Franchise QB this year no matter the cost..

While anything is possible, the Panthers are more than a few players away from being serious contenders.  Trading away the farm for one player atp would likely just result in another David Carr scenario and a lack of future draft picks to fix it.

Most important position right now is the QB.. Yes we have holes but that 1 position can mask a few of those.. Add in the fact we have the infrastructure to develop a QB and FA flexibility after this season.. No better time then now to make that swing..

Lastly the division is so poor now.. We hit on this and get a huge head start over every team in this division for years to come…

im sorry the risk reward favors us making this move now…

It certainly is a real possibility that the Panthers will be all in on a new QB in the upcoming draft. 

Or not.

The ultimate decision is in the hands of our much improved Panthers brain trust, we're just spectators.

Yup, every team has some sort of holes. Locking down the QB spot makes it a lot easier to actively target and fill those holes. We've built a good base and its a very friendly spot to Develop a young guy in. Time to go get your guy.

      Gameday Thread: KC-CAR

      By strato · Posted

      He made some excellent throws but he always has made some excellent throws here and there. I don't know what to think, which is what I was apprehensive about. Is he going to have a decent downfield game? Because okay Legette dropped one, but someone was giving stats prior to the bye or during it where he had two downfield completions and one of them was the jump ball that is just launched and fingers are crossed that our guy comes down with it, and yesterday we saw that again. The Russell Wilson school of downfield passing.  I don't feel like that is sustainable, but at the same time you have to do Something to make the defense understand they have to defend that downfield throws. Like i said, confused.  I guess I'm going to review the game for myself and look closely at his mechanics and stuff because if he actually fixed that stuff it explains the better throws. And that has been my biggest objection, or what I see as the thing that makes or breaks his chances, that unorthodox dropback and tippy toe action and not having his feet set which limits velocity etc etc.

      Crazy stat

      By Manna · Posted

      The negative Nancy in me (or objective?) says that they had a bye week to prepare for the Chiefs. However, it’s one thing to have a good plan and it’s another to actually execute it. For all the flack he’s received (from me as well), Bryce seemingly has put his head down and worked his tail off and his play is giving me hope. The first 18-game Bryce showed no progression whatsoever. He gets benched, comes back, and has shown steady progress every week he has started. I think I’m starting to see what the Bryce lovers and unconditional defenders were saying all along, and I hope he can show that on a regular basis for the sake of our QB1 position.

      Some Thoughts on Our Remaining Games

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Yeah, we could still very well end up 4-13 with the 2nd pick.   I think LVR has the inside track for 1, with only a JAX team as a team on docket that could be beatable.
