in fairness, the panthers were second in the NFL with 29 turnovers.

This isn't what people want to hear, but BC at LT and Ickey at LG might be the strongest lineup for 2022. BC is athletic but not a bulldozer; Ickey might be a better G than T because he can move a Dt and get to the next level effectively.

Personally, I think our secondary is going to be excellent. I think we have 2 safeties, Hartsfield, and 4 CBs who should be ready to play (Horn, Jackson, Henderson, Taylor). If we are going to pay someone some money, it needs to be a pass rusher, imo

Want to know exactly how bad our run game was last year? (OL and RB?) Chuba Hubbard (I saw this stat somewhere but can't recall the source) led the league in carries that netted ZERO yards gained---25% of them went for ZERO yards or less. Throw in the fact that the OL can't pass block either--it was a nightmare.

We lost our #1 and only legit RB last year, our #1 CB, our OL was trash, and we did not get much production from WR2 or the TE. The QB saw "ghosts" and behind him was a USFLXFLSemi-Pro Microsoft Surface operator. I like to think that CMC will return healthy, Anderson and Marshall have better years, Tremble steps up, Horn comes back and Henderson decides that he can play. Throw in an upgraded OL---there is reason to feel some optimism.

Congrats on your reading skills. NEXT: Interpretation skills.

The Texans were complicit, and that is the only reason they would pay. Since there are pending court cases and that could come out, the eventual lawsuits would be more expensive AND the damage to the Texans brand would be immeasurably unpredictable.

Personally, I would rather see a white, black, or blue helmet before a silver helmet.

I am looking forward to watching him develop.

And the Vikings have as many Super Bowl rings as we do. Who cares?

I am serving a big ole bowl of "Nope" on Star.

Despite what his salary is---if that is the only reason you keep him on board---a roster spot is worth something. However, with 3 unproven QBs on the roster, you probably need all of them.

That has to be the plan-what I would do.

I give him an A for the interviews. I was impressed. However, we don't pay them to talk.

Lotta colleges like that-- Ohio State comes to mind. They seem to have a top prospect every year, and they all seem to bust. USC I can think of one good one Bama Jones? Tua? do they count? Oh wait--there is Namath.

With Baker, it is going to come down to self-discipline. Will he have the maturity to not try to force plays? Will he play within the system? If he can do that, he can win. If his ego takes him on a rogue ride, we are going to be talking Corral week 5.

Jake was a top 15-20 QB. Berlien was a top 15-20 QB.

QB depth chart: Dickhead, Surf Nazi, Thug. And I am fairly excited about them.

I am not satisfied that we have the front 7 to compete.

Baker is an upgrade

This didn't age well!! (ha--I have some head scratchers too)

The Panthers did not offer a long-term contract and Baker was not in position to ask for one-- If he plays well, the thing to do is tag him for a season before investing in him. At that point, he will be 29 and we should know what we have. I am hoping that Corral develops this season and we can move on--giving us 3 years with a QB on a rookie deal. If Baker plays well, it is a good problem to have.

There is at least some reason to expect the offense to be better this season---If Baker gets his mind right and McAdoo uses him correctly, he has the skills to win some games for this team--- Not since Jake Delhomme have the Panthers used a QB correctly. (I think they abused Cam Newton) Even Darnold would be better this season. The OL should be good, but we are set up to run and play action. Play action requires the QB to turn his back to the secondary at times, and I just don't see Darnold doing that well. He sees ghosts--but I see Baker being very good in the offense--and we can tell by the OL we brought in and drafted what we hope to do--run the ball.

yup

Thanks for sharing John. Looking forward to it.
