CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- The Carolina Panthers showed how committed they were to Sam Darnold in Thursday's first round of the NFL draft by not picking a quarterback, then backed that up Friday morning by picking up his fifth-year option.
With the option, Darnold, recently acquired in a trade with the New York Jets, is guaranteed $18.8 million in 2022.
The expected decision came after Carolina selected South Carolina cornerback Jaycee Horn with the eighth pick while Ohio State quarterback Justin Fields and Alabama quarterback Mac Jones still were on the board.
"I'm not going to talk about other players," coach Matt Rhule said when asked whether there was discussion about drafting Fields with the eighth pick. "We brought Sam here for a reason. We're excited to see what he can do. We're excited to give him an opportunity.

Call me crazy but Im craving more beef at 34. Teven Jenkins. I agree with the beef. I am not certain who we should pick but we need to get another Oline on board. We aren't going to win many games this year as it is. Let's get our offense in line now and fill in the D next off season. It will take a year, at least, for the Oline to gel. |

The Carolina fans I know were apoplectic. I dont think a single fan would have cared if they took Fields even though they traded a 2nd rounder for Darnold. Nobody thought Fields would be there. |

Jenkins will be a hit with this fanbase. He plays with an endearing nastiness. He finishes like Becton. |

Carolina used every single pick on defense last year and still selects a DB with their 1st this year. LOL Isn't Jaycee Horn a CB, though? |

You really think Fields does better in Chicago than Sam does in Carolina?
I've been to their board and some Carolina fans still think it was all Sam's fault in NY. ALL Sam's fault.
Some of them are taking a wait-and-see approach which is what they should be doing but others are like "oh! Sam is a bust! Sam is terrible!! terrible! REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!"
and yeah...nobody thought Fields would drop so far but that's the gamble the Panthers FO took at that time. If Fields was selected earlier and did not fall to #8, they would have gotten nothing out of this draft as far as QBs go.
In time, i truly think this trade was the correct one to make to get Sam "Shrek" Darnold.

I think Sam is in a better situation and will have more success this year. But that wasnt the point I was making. The point I was making is they are linked now. And if Fields pans out it will be a major black eye for the Panthers. |

Let me ask you a different question then : You think Fields pans out for a franchise in Chicago that historically has not done well with QBs? |

Would you sign up for trading back 7-10 spots for a three. And the trading up from that 3 into the second using some combination of two of the two fourths or the fifth? Get a total of four likely starters this year and not too much else?
