Not only is Walker of a similar size to Taylor but both have very similar play styles (although Walker might be a big lighter on his feet). Another plus is that not only did he play for two teams in completely different leagues in 2020 (and completely different systems I might add), but when Bridgewater got injured he managed to step in and do enough to win despite having what one can imagine where very limited practice snaps in Carolina due to COVID restrictions and the fact that Carolina was at the time installing in Bridgewater into their system and probably got all the attention in practice.

Now that Carolina is going with Darnold and will probably be looking for a backup that is more similar in size and playstyle, it doesn’t hurt to make some sort of offer to the Panthers for a guy they probably don’t care too much for in the first place. Good insurance in case Tyrod gets injured (again) and at least the Texan offense won’t be too different if Walker has to step in
