Re: ATL Offseason - Boyle to the Lions
Darnold seems talented so decent gamble by the Panthers and they didn't have to give up a 1st. But on the flip side there's not too big of a track record of highly drafted QBs who flame out and then suddenly become great on their second team.

Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming Wow! What a Ride!-H.S.T.

Re: ATL Offseason - Boyle to the Lions
So, is this a "win now" move by Carolina, or aren't they wild about the potential QB options at #8, or door number three?

If I were the Jets I would have traded down for a load of picks, and try to land OL help and one of the top WRs. I still think Darnold can be a good QB, he just needs help.

Nope. Darnold is in the last year of his rookie deal. New Head Coach, new system and a new QB to start the clock on the new regime.

Re: ATL Offseason - Boyle to the Lions
I mean Darnold is only 23 and he played for a complete dumpster fire of an organization his entire career. Not saying he'll be a star but a dramatic improvement wouldn't surprise me because Gase is that badWeekapaugGroove wrote:Darnold seems talented so decent gamble by the Panthers and they didn't have to give up a 1st.

Not sure what I think about Darnold. But with the success of Tannehill, a lot of guys (like Mariota and I thought Trubisky) are going to second looks, long second looks before the door closes on them. And the street will be littered with Josh Rosens, Haskins, Drew Locks, Jameis Winstons along the way.
