yeah, i wouldn't be a big fan of that move from a non-football standpoint. trade deadline is november 2nd so if he's going anywhere this season (whether or not he even plays), it will be in the next week or so. 10/24/2021 11:02:00 PM |

Plus the Texans want an absolutely astronomical amount of draft capital for him... no thanks 10/25/2021 8:07:00 AM |

I don’t get it. Why pay a premium for a QB that may not even be eligible to play (NFL hasn’t ruled but Texans haven’t played him, so NFL hasn’t really been forced to rule) and has like 2 dozen pending sexual assault allegations? It’s not like the Panthers are close to making a legit push to be a contender. May be able to sneak into the playoffs with a better QB but why swing for the fences (and piss off tons of fans) if he doesn’t even make us a legit contender? 10/25/2021 9:11:36 AM |

Basically all we have is one first round pick next year (no second or third currently), so we'd give that up (and the next few years) and still not have an OL.. Doesn't seem like a good way to be good. Plus, ya know, all the sexual assault 10/25/2021 4:02:01 PM |

Yeah IMO the main problems with Darnold are all related to a lack of an oline and not *totally* on him -- partially, sure, hell even some mostly on him. But use that 1st for whatever the top 5-10 (at this rate) prospect is and see what we can do 10/25/2021 5:12:59 PM |

Fair enough, but a good o line would solve a lot of his bad issues. His biggest problem is panicking under pressure 10/25/2021 9:10:00 PM |

It doesn't matter how good the ol is, an NFL qb is always under pressure. Darnold just isn't it. 10/25/2021 10:58:52 PM |

Bad OL, CMC hurt, defense that looked awesome now has some injuries and has looked much more average lately. How does adding Watson make this team much better than, say, the 2020 Texans? Same thing with the Dolphins interest in Watson. The Dolphins need way more than just a QB to be much better. 10/26/2021 7:13:57 AM |

Crazy to me that in basketball it’s an automatic injury TO for a bloody player so he can get treatment. And in football the Qb can slather blood all over the football and there’s no stoppage. 10/31/2021 2:14:56 PM |

I was also surprised they didn't do more about Matt Ryan bleeding out on the field.
Also, mad about the lack of clock stoppage after the Fail-cons player ran the incomplete pass all the way back down the field. If that's not against the rules it should be cause it took like 15 seconds off the play clock for us. 10/31/2021 6:30:09 PM |

Panthers suck. Darnold sucks.
And fuck Mac Jones. If a defender does this to a QB it’s easily a penalty and a hefty fine. Maybe an ejection too.

it's a shame that Deshaun Watson is such a POS human. Darnold ain't it.
the defense has a good young core, but the other side of the ball needs work

Just need to cut the entire offensive line and qb rooms. Seems like a pretty easy fix 11/7/2021 9:02:01 PM |

I don't think he should be an OC in high school. He had a 5 star senior QB in Joe Burrow, and thats what they are basing his success on. He definitely isn't cut out for NFL.
Honestly we are now worse off then when we first hired Matt Rhule. We have no QB, no Offensive Line. A mediocre receiving corps. A perpetually banged up star running back in a passing league. Defense has some good pieces but doesn't matter with the worst offense in NFL.
Honestly Tepper has missed on every hire so far which probably means we are the NFC version of the Browns now so get used to being shitty.11/8/2021 7:36:36 AM |
dmspack oh we back 25500 Posts user info edit post |
Red zone offense has been a major weakness since Brady/Ruhle have been here. To me, that’s 100% on the staff. Players get hurt or don’t execute or whatever. But consistent issues like that are on coaching. 11/8/2021 7:45:28 AM |

better for winning or better for tanking? thinkaboutit.gif
the crazy thing is we're only a half game out of the wildcard (though the 2nd half of our schedule is tough). the NFC is like 5 really good teams, and a few terrible teams, and a bunch of teams near .500 11/10/2021 12:45:35 AM |

^^ there is not a offensive weapon worth tanking for. Jordan Davis however could be a game wrecker on defense. 11/10/2021 8:09:04 AM |

Our defense is already really strong. I'd rather take whatever the best o line is no matter what 11/10/2021 8:36:05 AM |

Been needing to revamp the OL for…the last 5 years? 11/10/2021 9:04:18 AM |
Wolfey All American 2680 Posts user info edit post |
I am all for an O-Line pick as its a serious need. However, if you are tanking it would be for Jordan Davis or an offensive weapon.
Brian Burns is probably going to get fined more than Mac Jones for his comments yesterday, but if the NFL really wants to protect Mac Jones they will fine him the max under the CBA for that type of play. If they don't fine him some Defensive player is going to light him up especially on a turnover. 11/11/2021 7:58:39 AM |
dmspack oh we back 25500 Posts user info edit post |
Oh yeah Jordan Davis is a monster. Thibodeaux from Oregon is also a freak. But Thibs I’m assuming is like a top 5 pick. We won’t be picking that high. Just saw a mock with Davis falling all the way to 29. Why would that be? I figured he was top 10
Mostly, please don’t somehow end up with Sam Howell please
