It wasn't "that one". Virtually every post you were making yesterday was looking to pick a fight.

I wasn’t try to pick a fight. I was just being honest about how I feel. Whats the point of being on a panthers board if you can’t express your feelings about the players and team. I could have prob gone about it differently but I know now. Like I said, sorry.

Baker would at worst be an average NFC quarterback.

With Watson suspended for most of next season most likely, there's only two true elite QBs in the whole conference, Brady and Rodgers.

In fact, if we signed Baker and he reverted to his pre-injury form, the only teams with for sure better QBs would be:

Tampa
Green Bay
Dallas
Arizona
LA
Minnesota

 

That's how weak the NFC is at the position.  Only 6 out of 15 other teams with for-sure better QBs.  If you believe we'll have something bordering on a great defense, and that we can overcome Rhule, no reason we wouldn't be competing for a playoff spot with Baker

I honestly have no idea but that Darnold trade would definitely get thrown back in our face. He's gotta be worth more than Darnold.

 

Darnold had 2 years of control left (one of them fairly cheap) and that relationship wasn't openly soured. Sure we all knew they were taking Wilson at 2 to replace him but it wasn't a public spat like whats unfolded in Cleveland. 

Baker has 1 year of control left playing on the 5th year option then will be up for a new contract. Hes coming off season ending surgery (to the non throwing shoulder, I'm not worried about it) and there is no way he plays again in Cleveland the way things have unfolded. 

I think we're looking at a future conditional 4th here. I'd do a 3rd if they'd take Sam in a swap. Maybe even a pick swap from 6 to 13 with Baker and Sam swapping teams too. 

I have to say the more I think about this the more I like this option. We've at least seen big time throws from Baker we haven't seen from someone like Jimmy G. He's got more of an attitude/swagger like a Cam and isn't afraid to be a vocal leader - Something we have sorely missed on this team.

I didn’t want this team trading for another qb because they suck at it. But at this point I really don't care what they do. My interest as once long time fan has gone from a devoted fan to a laughing outsider.

Total poo show. But let's be honest, we all knew that was guaranteed as soon as Rhule wasn't fired. This is a wasted year.

The fate of this team is tied to the decisions David Tepper makes. Rhule is just an unwitting participant in it all. Rhule is in over his head and Tepper is doubling down on a bad investment like its the stock market hoping someday it will payoff. Neither know how to fix it. I'm surprised it took most on here this long to figure it out.

Mayfield has his problems but he'd easily beat out Darnold

To be honest depending on what the Browns would be asking for, I'd be cool with Mayfield as QB.  

I'm not so sure. Baker's had a top 10 OL and OBJ and we're debating it.

      Bryce Young #34 on Chris Simms' top 40 list

      By ForJimmy · Posted

      Oh it's nothing elite, but we played without Horn last year.  Gilly playing at 80% is better than any CB2 we have had in a moment.  Luvu was fun, but he was out of position in Evero's defense.  Jewell is a tackling machine and has had over 100 in 3 of his last 4 with his highest being at Denver with Evero.  Pass Rushing and CBs are strong red flags but they also were last year.  On paper it's the same or maybe slightly better than last year and Evero had them keeping us in some games.  Hell our 2 wins were due to the defense and the kicking game.

      I mean best case scenario is horn plays 15ish games, brown and clowney replicate last years stats, we sign gilmore and he reverts back to form after his injury but even then we still lack pass rush and our linebackers are dogshit.  And thats best case.  If horn goes down and if clowney starts showing his age then it could get ugly.  We are going to miss the tenacity of luvu.

      Well you have year 2 of the new scheme so several players should be more comfortable.   Vs last year DL we added Robinson to play DE giving Brown a solid presence on the other side, plus he is familiar with Evero (I don't like Shy at NT but he was there last year too)  LB- Clowney and Wonnum are more complete/probably better than Burns and YGM, Jewell and Shaq are better than Luvu and whatever random guy from the streets we had playing last and again Jewell is familiar with Evero CB- This is a big red flag but vs last year we kept Hill at slot, we lost Henderson and replaced him with Jackson which seems like a wash to me.  If we can sign Gilly I will consider this upgraded but as of now it's a weakness and a wash Safety- Fuller replaces Bell as an upgrade who is also familiar with Evero.  I think we signed another vet in Scott as depth   Depth is still an issue no doubt but it looks slightly better on paper than last year IMO...
