I'm not even sure they'd make the playoffs WITH Watson

well, if you got a better than average D, CMC (even for 10 games), DJ Moore and Watson.....and can't make the playoffs? 

Well, as I said, we have a Matt Rhule problem.

The thing that attracts some to Garrapolo however, was his ability to play QB on a team with a good running game, a good TE, Deebo, etc. and a good defense.  He still made mistakes and lost his job.

Bring him here, and the training wheels flying off his scooter would injure people.

I wouldn't argue that.  But I don't think that elevates him into a much better QB.

Baker and Sam are not even in the same stratosphere. Baker is the FAR superior QB.

If Baker ends up being a cheap consolation prize from this, I wont be butthurt. Ive seen Baker make some very impressive throws in the NFL and he has 6 4th qaurter comebacks along with 7 GW drives in his 4 year NFL career.

Someone else was claiming the same thing, that they’re similar QBs.  No the hell they aren’t lol.  If we can’t get Watson I’d be okay with getting Mayfield if it’s nothing crazy to acquire him.  He’s at least been good, unlike Darnold

Baker isn’t bad. I just don’t want to give up draft picks/pay money for another QB who isn’t our franchise guy. Take a chance and draft one or sign a FA like Mariotta and wait until next year…

Consider the pieces lost on defense though. Reddick, Jackson, Gilmore, DaQuan Jones. And if they trade for Watson, it's likely Jeremy Chinn, Burns, and/or Derrick Brown will be gone. Possibly even Jaycee Horn. Not sure which players they offered. Defense is taking a step back next season either way most likely, but even worse to give up assets for Watson.

If Baker came to us for cheap, say a 4th rounder. Id be willing to take that risk. We would just have to find a way to get Sam off of the roster.

    • I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.
    • Very true on the length but stuff like this is never where we shine. We aren’t a good team at drafting.
    • Homerism aside, the more I see from Dan, the more impressed I am.  His player evaluation instincts. Last year his 2 premier FA signings, Hunt and Lewis COMPLETELY changed the line and I have a feeling his success in choosing blue chip guys will continue.  Look at the panthers’s rep for FA signings in the past. By and large, it’s been guys 1 year past their prime who had an injury and suckered our GM in to a crippling contract. We never get nice things. When was the last time this team signed 2 young blue chip studs  in the same offseason to contracts worthy of their impact? Ever?  Im telling y’all, players respect and trust Morgan.
