Carr Watch

[Mr. Scot]

And now it's a Panthers.com story...

Maybe it's a change I hadn't noticed, but I'm not used to stories about us negotiating with free agents being written for Panthers.com.

Mind you, that doesn't necessarily mean we're signing him but it's different.

Probably just more of Rhule micromanaging what got put up on social media while he was here.

While that's certainly a valid tale, I don't remember seeing this kind of thing before Rhule either.

We're genuinely interested 

And we rightly should be. It will all come down to the fit, contract length and cost. We can't go into 2023 with a rookie QB, last year's rookie QB, and a PS QB on the roster. We're getting someone. The question is who.

Different staff from top to bottom.  It's a whole new world we live in. Nothing will ever be the same.

I would rather roll with Darnold as the bridge vet QB and draft the future

Well there is an extreme difference in the 2 philosophies.   Option 1 - top 10 rookie with bridge   Option 2 - Carr for 5 years

Yeah, this is where I'm at.  The Panthers couldn't possibly think it would be a good idea to go into this season with a rookie, Corral and Darnold.  There has to be a reliable vet in the mix and Darnold isn't it.

Depends on how long you need Donald to start I suppose.  Say you think you can have the rookie ready enough by mid season then maybe to could tolerate Sam for that long.  I think you could win most of those games with him until you let the rookie take over from there. If the rookie is a full season away then that changes things a bit. It's a tough call either way.

The only way I could see that happening is if they believe one of the rookies is ready to start now.

Is there anyone you think fits that scenario?

The coaches would have to have an extremely high level of confidence in the rookie, otherwise they're likely destroying the team's chances at a winning season by putting their eggs in Darnold's basket.

Stroud IMO.  He works well in a system, has great ball placement and tries to play a clean game.   Maybe young but he will be hurt by week 5

I don't watch college ball very often.  On the rare occasion that I do, the talent level mismatches tend to distort reality to the point where I don't trust what I'm seeing.  Too many of these top ten rookie QBs look like they're totally lost in the pro game.

I wouldn't put all my eggs in the rookie basket.  Hence, I wouldn't want the next guy up to be Sam Darnold.
