We should actually have a plus o line this year so getting him creamed all season shouldn’t be that big of an issue.

He never had any drama in Cleveland until this last season. Never had any problems in college. I think this is way overblown.

Awful? Terrible? No good? Mediocre is like middle of the pack. A mediocre grade would be a C-. Sam is a D-/F type of dude.

We don't have any mediocre QBs currently. Mediocre would be a massive upgrade to what we currently have.

So Baker for Robbie, straight up? Which includes them eating most of Bakers salary? That still leaves us with our little Sam problem....however with the savings for trading Anderson we could probably just say fug It and outright cut Sam.

Anybody got the latest from Gary Cobb? In situations like this, I like to go straight to the ultimate authority on these matters.

The 2022 Ghost of Cam Newton ain't winning ANYBODY a Super Bowl, bro. Put the pipe down.

Very true. Agreed. Actually, when a QB starts making commercials, he usually starts going down hill on the field. Aaron Rodgers not withstanding.

Some people REALLY let their emotions cloud their judgement when it comes to evaluating a player. Especially QBs.

Who is talking about a first for Mayfield?!?!

If Baker comes in and plays like he did the year before last, you have to seriously consider signing him to a long term deal and making him our franchise QB. Hes got the talent to take a middling team to the playoffs.

For real. If we get Baker in here and only have to pay him like 5 million dollars this season, thats about as big a win as you could possibly ask for.

Sounds like we are the only team seriously talking to them about him though. So, I imagine one of these days soon, Mayfield will be a Carolina Panther. Which I am not totally against. Better him than Sam. I doubt Corral will be ready to go from Day 1....and NOBODY wants to see Darnold start another game in Charlotte ever.

IT'S HAPPENING!!

Matt Rhule is a great coach.... ......for me to poop on.

519 freaking yards on 110 targets is just absurdly pathetic.

Leverage for what? Dude just signed a new deal and had his worst season ever. Wtf would he be trying to leverage? A trade?

Peace out with your Sideshow Bob ass lookin ass.

"The Editorial Board"

When a city gets a professional sports franchise, it also inherits the franchise’s owner. Sometimes that partnership turns out just fine. And sometimes, as we well know in Charlotte, it doesn’t. Such is the case with David Tepper, who in 2018 purchased the Carolina Panthers and now also owns Charlotte FC. For better or worse, that’s made him a public face of the city. It would be nice, however, if that face didn’t so often look like a morally uninterested business mogul. In the past few months, Tepper and his teams have drawn more than their fair share of controversy and skepticism — and it’s not just because of their losing record. It started with the Panthers’ dogged pursuit of Deshaun Watson, a wooing that continues to look awful this week after new revelations about distasteful behavior with dozens of massage therapists. The Watson allegations are far from breaking news, but it didn’t stop Tepper from lusting after the quarterback for more than a year, despite his very heavy and very public baggage. It would have been a public relations nightmare had Watson chosen to come to Charlotte. He didn’t, but Tepper wanted him to. That matters. Then there’s the disaster that is the abandoned Rock Hill headquarters. The contract for the $800 million, 240-acre facility was terminated in April due to a funding dispute between the Panthers and Rock Hill. Instead of looking for a way to make things work, Tepper looked for a way out. Now, GT Real Estate Holdings, the company Tepper established specifically for the Rock Hill project, is declaring bankruptcy. The company owes nearly $50 million to various entities involved in the project, including the general contractors in charge of construction, The Charlotte Observer reported. Conveniently enough, the company is structured in a way that protects Tepper and his other assets from any personal liability. Such a move is not illegal or even uncommon in the business world. Some might even call it savvy, even if it does leave an unpleasant taste. But a man with a net worth of nearly $17 billion potentially stiffing those who did work for him — even if he is just taking advantage of existing bankruptcy law — is, at the very least, bad optics. There’s also been a revolving door of executives at Tepper Sports & Entertainment, and Charlotte FC head coach Miguel Angel Ramirez was abruptly fired last month with no public explanation. Up until April, Tepper hadn’t spoken to the media in more than a year — and even then, he refused to answer pressing questions about the Rock Hill project. That’s a lot of bad headlines for Tepper and, indirectly, Charlotte. Is he as awful as, say, Washington Commanders owner Dan Snyder? No. But “not being investigated by Congress” feels like a pretty low bar. Charlotte has had a spotty history of sports owners in George Shinn and Jerry Richardson. Thankfully, Tepper hasn’t spawned the kind of embarrassing stories those owners did. But Tepper’s house still looks more like a circus, and doesn’t reflect well on our city. And unlike the mayor or city council, Tepper isn’t a politician, so he’s not exactly accountable to the public. Money and power are what affords him influence, and, as the wealthiest owner in the NFL, he has a lot of both. One possible silver lining: One city official mused to the Editorial Board that all of this might give the city leverage with upcoming negotiations over a new stadium because Tepper likely doesn’t want more bad optics. Maybe so. Either way, there’s not much the city can do about Tepper’s stream of stumbles. Like it or not, Charlotte and Tepper are partners: the Panthers and Charlotte FC are tremendous assets to Charlotte, both economically and culturally, and it wouldn’t be wise for city leaders to sour their ongoing relationship with the man who owns them. But please, Mr. Tepper: stop making us cringe.

At this point we should just trade Sam for Baker straight up. Salary for each is pretty much identical. Sam can fill in for the pervert, and we get Mayfield until Corral is ready to go. It makes too much sense.

I mean, hes not wrong, but his 2 best performances were his first 2 games. They shoulda just kept the same scheme they used in the Washington game for the rest of the season. Keep it simple.

I got more big news folks - I just learned from a HIGH level insider at the Hornets, that they are set to announce a brand spanking new AM Radio station partner for next season. Seems like the Hornets are tired of mediocrity as well!

We would have to improve quite a bit to even be mediocre.

I wish that jabroni on Twitter would not have got everybodys hopes up, talking about its going to be a "GREAT" day to be a Panthers fan...
