ExWNYer Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 2 hours ago, Rc2catch said: I think it’s a great acquisition for Carolina, but I also think their GM got fleeced. There is no way the Jets were starting year one under Saleh with a quarterback controversy. Darnold could of been had much cheaper at some point this offseason imo. That second rounder sticks out like a sore thumb to me. The guy is 100% shell shocked from the beating he’s taken the last 3 years. I haven’t written him off maybe he can recover with a decent offense, but Carolina still has a pathetic offensive line. Teddy is not great but I’m not even sure Darnold is an upgrade at this point. It's a 2nd Round pick in 2022 though. That's roughly the equivalent of a 3rd Round pick this year. 1 hour ago, H2o said: I don't think they traded up for Mac Jones whom they could have had @ #12, but who knows really. Maybe...but if you covet Mac Jones are you willing to stay at 12 and hope that NE* at 15 (or somebody else) doesn't jump just ahead of you and snag him? If SF really does want Jones. he's theirs at 3. It's a much iffier proposition at 12. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those fans won't wait long.... Absolutely, there’s no way any of us know how their careers will turn out. I’m just amazed by reports that some teams actually prefer Wilson to Lawrence. A year ago you’d assume anyone going all in to draft a QB would be going after Lawrence. I’m not certain of Lawrence or Wilson, as I’ve said there’s no guarantees. It’s just interesting how fickle opinions and analysis can be. Last season Lawrence was the greatest QB prospect ever, and now a one season star is giving him a bit of a challenge. I think it shows that we’re too prone to exaggerations when assessing players. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChevyVanMiller Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 Darnold going to the Panthers makes him 10x more likely to be a member of the Bills in the future. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Albany,n.y. Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 Back in 2018 I was one of those people who thought the Jets had outmaneuvered us when they moved from #6 to #3. My 1st reaction was the Jets were going to screw us out of getting the QB we wanted. It sure didn't work out that way. One season of Darnold & Mike Maccagnan, the GM who I thought pulled off the draft coup, was fired by the Jets. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right. But pick 50 next year, and all other picks in the next few years, won't matter if they don't get #2 overall right this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChronicAndKnuckles Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 33 minutes ago, Mr. WEO said: Yeah, ol what's his name! Picking a one full season college starter who no one heard of a year ago at #2...what could go wrong?? (asking for a Bears fan) Oh you mean like Cam Newton who was a one year wonder then got drafted and goes on to shatter multiple rookie passing records? I guess Carolina should've went with the "safe" multiple season starter that year like Blaine freaking Gabbert, Ponder, or Locker 🙄 Good quarterbacks come in all shapes, sizes, and paths. You either have it or u don't and I highly doubt the Jets are gonna go with Mac Jones over a one year guy like Fields or ol' what's his name. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Success Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 I actually think Darnold will do really well in Carolina. I'm happy for him - the Jets were a terrible situation. They might be moving in the right direction now, but in the years he was there, he had nothing to work with. We'll see how the trade works out for the Jets, but they didn't do too badly. If Saleh pans out and they choose the right QB in this draft, the AFCE could be one very tough division. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lawrence's "dilemma" is that everyone saw him play nearly every Saturday for years--we saw him rack up tons of wins, yet after his first year, he seemed to come up small in the biggest game. People expected 3 straight from him and Clemson. Wilson benefitted form the relative obscurity (who's watching other than parents, alumni and gambling addicts) of BYU football. Plus he's never played in a big game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ColoradoBills Posted April 5, 2021 Share Posted April 5, 2021 LOL, I just seen that the 6th round pick this year wasn't even the Panthers pick #193 it was their comp pick at #222. Pretty much a 7th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
