Move the Panthers to Raleigh

I made the mistake of mentioning their lord and savior "Breesus Christ"

Yeah, I'm not 100% on it either, but he has the best chance of anyone we've had under Rhule/end of Rivera. Unrelated to stats, he actually looks and acts like a star player too. Sam never had that demeanor about him. I remember an interview he had with Greg Olsen on the FOX pregame before week 1 last year. Sam seemed timid and not ready.

The guy had a torn labrum and still played through 14 games last year. Cut him a break. I think that also shows some damn toughness on his part.

Baker has real experience and leadership skills. We even saw a snippet of him "coaching up" Corral in that Camp Confidential video. I'm beginning to believe...

Yeah, I can’t take their arguments against Baker and McAdoo seriously after that

And, yes, I do understand that it is Baker's long ball (lower comp %) vs Brees dink-and-dunk (higher comp %). Not really similar in style. For everyone that does not get the point, I'm saying their careers could be (hopefully for us) similar journeys

Ben McAdoo, fool

He started for 4 seasons there (2002-2005)

Pretty similar situation with a team that had good records before they discarded him

Thank you!

2004, Brees’s best year as a Charger his completion % was 65.5. He obviously improved on that in NO 2018, Bakers best completion % was 63.8. Granted, it has dipped and gone back up again since then. Forget about Rhule for now, are you telling me McAdoo couldn’t do jackshit to help Baker improve his game this year? And I don’t want to hear anymore bullshit about Matt Corral

You’re comparing Baker’s current career to Brees’s full career. I compared Baker’s first 4 seasons vs Brees’s first 5. Baker has room for improvement

I was very critical of the Baker signing, but I now have one foot on the bandwagon. We already know that we’re screwed out of a top 2023 pick, so why not hope Baker pans out?

He does remind me in the way he is a quicker, shorter-type QB

Baker seems motivated to prove Cleveland wrong

I mentioned the coaching disadvantage, but if Rhule is fired and Baker plays well enough, he probably stays.

Just a classic tooth-gap!

I know everyone here hates Drew Brees (myself included), but there’s no doubt he was a great AFC QB that brought a new winning era to a downtrodden NFCS team and made them annual playoff contenders. Baker could be that for us. If you look up Bree’s San Diego stats before NO and Baker’s Cleveland stats before CAR, they are comparable (Baker’s are actually better btw). Drew Brees - 6’0” -5 seasons -59 games -12,348 yards -80 TDs -53 INTs Baker Mayfield - 6’1” -4 seasons -60 games -14,125 yards -92 TDs -56 INTs I know these are different eras for the passing game, but I’d say this is at least encouraging for Baker’s prospects of being a franchise QB here. Also, Baker is at a much larger disadvantage with HC, but let’s see what happens.

McCall has earned his spot on the 53 as far as I’m concerned

Shi Smith and Baker Mayfields new nickname

OL looking rough tonight

Will the first string play the whole 1st quarter?
