Backup QB spot behind a vet IMO is a great place to develop a rookie. You could always keep PJ on the practice squad too for emergency. Sam is just a pointless rep stealer IMO for Corral at this stage. He isn't safe enough to be an actual backup and the development hope IMO is over.

problem w/ the Sam as a backup thing.....is he is the polar opposite of what you look for in backup. Corral fits because he is young and developmental. For a vet, you would prefer a Teddy type as a backup. Sam is a timebomb. A game imploder.

Our QB depth chart is Sam Darnold, PJ Walker and a 3rd round rookie. He is the best option week 1 and it isn’t much of a debate. why wouldn’t you want the best QB on the roster prepping all camp and preseason as the one in a brand new system with brand new teammates vs….other QBs stealing reps with the 1s he needs?

He literally just got dumped by the Browns for a serial predator and no one really wanted him. I’d say that is enough. Now let him be a real QB. Which means taking on a leadership role a QB should have. Early. Another problem we had last year with Rhule BS mantra of a QB just being a random player and not a leader. QBs always needs to lead to an extent.

Maybe, but Rivera still went through with the charade of him earning it and it took the entire preseason before Ron would acknowledge it. It was dumb. And it will be be dumb if Rhule doesn’t just let Baker prep as the 1 and pretends like it is a comp.

Cam technically had to compete. He played as the #2 in the preseason. Don’t think he “earned” the job until after the 4th game. it was dumb. and everyone in Spartanburg will know who gives us the best chance to win. But Rhule probably will play the charade. And Rhule probably will play musical QBs in the season if Baker doesn’t win

Joe Brady is a passing guy. He didn’t belong here. Which was a problem. He also had to develop and we have too many other issues for that. and we had a green passing OC and gave him Sam Darnold and a bad OL LMAO. Gee I wonder why that failed. A rookie RB who couldn’t catch. Better OCs couldn’t of made it work in Carolina last year given the talent. but my stance doesn’t change. He wasn’t the problem. Just a problem. Much bigger problems in Carolina than Brady. Starts with Rhule. He has been the primary one. He has put things together that fail by design. That was our offense in 2021. Nothing wrong with 2020. We over achieved all things considered.

I’m not saying he should be honest. I got no problem with him essentially lying about it now. That’s the play. It’s frankly not a big deal to me. but I think it’s funny people want to act like Robbie wasn’t dissing Baker in reality

Pacman Jones “come on bruh you can be honest” lol doesn’t look like anyone there believed anything Robbie wanted to say publicly.

I always find it funny how super homers trying to paint everything as some sick hatred. Jimmy Clausen just really sucked as a NFL QB. Being certain of such early on….isn’t some twisted hatred of the human. Matt Rhule sucks. Really bad as a NFL coach. And that was largely a pretty predictable outcome. NFL and college are essentially two completely different games on and off the field. He is a college coach. i doubt anyone would be really upset if their college team hired Matt Rhule.

Reflecting on the Panthers Rhule

Here is Matt telling Baker and Sam about the DBO sign

Big picture, it's all about the QB. But if you have a good coach and a well built team......you shouldn't be a bottom feeder if you are just missing the QB. Bottom feeder teams are missing more than a QB.

but but but I was told by Rhule fan boys Joe Brady (the guy whose MO is attacking deep) demanded checkdown Teddy Bridgewater and then demanded one read Sam turnover machine. Matt Rhule has no idea how to build anything. That much is clear. No pairings have ever made sense.

some pretty good and well recognized actors in there. Congrats!

I don't think Baker gives a poo. You wouldn't want a QB he really cared what any WR really says let alone a non-89 level player. But pretending Robbie was defending Sam and buying that whack narrative being sold is just something I see no need to do.

weird, Baylor got punished and basically had 2 down seasons as a result...and was right back to being Baylor. building from the ashes? Jay Z's cousin's mom or something apparently said that takes like 7 years to build something from the ground up. So that's not what happened there.

this the boos had to be stopped. They went the Cam route. That bought a couple weeks. It wasn't going to be enough. Then they threw Brady out there. Which didn't and wasn't going to change anything. But give the angry fans some satisfaction something we being done. Rhule has to win this year. Because there is no Cam or coach fire to appease to booing masses this upcoming seaosn. And there is no arguement that he can stay employed if he is being booed out of the stadium starting midseason to the end.

odd, he clearly didn't give a fug about Sam feelings when it came to other QBs or other positional players he lobbied should be replaced by guys. Robbie mouthed off his feelings about a QB the Panthers added. And he has been tasked w/ the proper PR. No big deal. But it clearly is what happened. And yeah, he meant it. Baker isn't dumb.

Oh, I know his buddies added that. Yet there was no talk about Robbie going on. He just randomly happened to be on an episode that drops directly after Baker is added. I'm sure the Panthers talked to Robbie about the Baker thing and his tweets.

Robbie just happens to go to I AM ATHLETE right after Baker signs. That's straight up player PR. These player shows are there to help players out.

He called the plays on 3rd and long and inside the 10 at LSU. He wasn't the OC. But he was part of it.

what type college programs make it into the AP top 10 4 years straight? and before that made it into the top 25 every year? Rhule gets some credit for dealing w/ the punishment. But he didn't turn Baylor into something new or doing anything unique there IMO

Baylor pre Rhule AP poll highs 2016 - #8 2015 - #2 2014 -#4 2013 -#3 Baylor got punished. But Rhule didn't make Baylor into a program it wasn't. It was a place to play football.
