Barkley Signing with the Panthers/Panthers done

[fasteddie]

Watching the UB game and espnu reported that Darnold has a fractured scapula. I would think that would cause some problems.

Matt Rhule sounds pretty ticked at Darnold:

That's a 9 on a Boss-man Richter Scale for "You ***** Up, Boy"

 

Big Sam has now entered The Rosen Zone.

The way Josh Allen has been playing Buffalo should have picked him up

Maybe he does.

Maybe it’s a good way for both he and the coach to save face🤔

Darnold will be the #2 QB of the 2022 Buffalo Bills.

And Trubisky will be the #1 QB of the Panthers?

I think he entered it when The Jets shipped him to Carolina for a 2nd round pick.  I heard that Twilight Zone du-da-du-do du-da-du-do when that news broke.

 

But this is definitely a big step further into the Zone.

I don't think they're going to let go of him that quickly, but Rhule's comments don't bode well for Sam.

 

They may not bode well for Rhule, either, depending upon what scope and seriousness of conversation he had with Sam before making it public.

Always excuses for Darnold.  He stinks and wasn't even good at USC, except for his first season.  He is a turnover factory.  He's pretty close to being OOF... 

Yup. He is exactly the same player he was at USC. At some point it’s not Adam Gase. Darnold needs to get better in his own

I'm actually surprised Barkley would take his family into a dumpster fire rather than continuing to hang out with the elite Titans for the rest of the year.

You know what the difference in weekly checks between a vested vet on the active roster and a practice squad player is? Not that hard of a decision.

He's there to back up Walker if Darnold can't play.  He can't get a beating while holding a clipboard on the sidelines.  

 

Exactly how did Rhule's decision to keep only PJ Walker as Darnold's backup blow up in his face?  What was he supposed to do?  The team chose to trade for Darnold in the offseason & let Walker & Will Greer vie for the backup spot.  Then like most other teams that carry 2 QBs, they added a practice squad QB as the 3rd stringer (James Morgan who is familiar with backing up Darnold). 

 

If anything blew up in Carolina's face it was the decision to trade for Darnold & dump Bridgewater, not choosing to keep 2 QBs & a PS QB.  Once that decision was made, and the worse decision to pick up Darnold's 5th year option of a guaranteed $18.858 million, Rhule's hands were tied.

 

If the GM keeps his job after the Darnold decisions, Carolina will be a dumpster fire for years to come.  

Kolb and his nemesis "Mat" are waving hello to you...

lol yes. I was generous I had to give Sam at least a second team, since Rosen is on his 4th (5th?) I lost track. But yeah the Jets ruined the kid.

I mean, who would have thought on draft day that Allen would be the top of that class?

Darnold now reported as having incomplete fracture of shoulder

 

https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/32593531/source-carolina-panthers-qb-sam-darnold-incomplete-fracture-shoulder-blade

 

Quote

Carolina Panthers quarterback Sam Darnold has an incomplete fracture of his right shoulder blade and is likely to miss several weeks with the injury, a source confirmed to ESPN on Tuesday.

 

The Panthers believe the injury happened in the second quarter of the team's 24-6 loss to the New England Patriots on Sunday. Darnold threw three interceptions in the loss, including one returned 88 yards by J.C. Jackson for a touchdown, when he missed tight end Ian Thomas, who was wide open.

 

Perhaps he'll get the "your shoulder was actually broken at the time and you were trying to gut through it" pass out of Rhule's AwShit list

We will see, doubt they are willing to fork over big $ to a player they don’t believe in.

Very well could be.  I think Trubisky is a starter in this league.

What choice do you think the Panthers have exactly about those big $$? 

 

5th year option was fully guaranteed at signing - $18.6M next season.

 

What are they gonna do, say "everyone could see our OL was trash and the guy broke his shoulder, but we so strongly don't believe in him that we want you to take him and his $18.6M off our hands"?

 

If they want to trade Sam, they're gonna have to eat a good part of his salary I do believe.
