REPORT: Panthers have the inside track to trade for Baker Mayfield

Yeah I was thinking that. Baker would instantly be one of the more talented QBs the Panthers have had. I don’t think we are going to be able to unload Sam and his contract without giving up picks, so I’d just roll with him as the backup (if we acquire Baker). Maybe draft a project like Glass in the late rounds or sign undrafted and cut PJ. Baker with Sam as the backup and Glass as the 3rd/project/practice squad. Who knows maybe Darnold plays well enough to be a decent backup (although very overpriced) behind a better OL. 

Pure physical talent, I'd probably put him fourth behind Cam, Darnold, and Kerry Collins in that order.

Obviously, physical talent only gets you so far.

Good lord. It is literally a guy repeating speculation. 
Baker has already said he wants to go to the Seahawks.  

Wilson has largely been keeping the Seahawks afloat and barely relevant.  I doubt Mayfield can do that.  The Aints would be a better choice for Mayfield assuming they want and can afford him.

So... fix our Jets' trash problem with the Browns' trash? *Panthers' logic*

...we need to herd qbs in and out till we find one.... since the draft is total crap.... he might be viable...Browns haven't done much right since league re-establishment granted.... if the price is right...let not turn our back on someone who has skill above and beyond the slop thats out there or incoming....who you got?...i need a laugh.

Or you could do your research.  Draft a qb, develop him and build a team around him.  If we get baker it will be his 5th head coach and 5th OC.   That is not a recipe for success

Any free agent, capable starting QB we get right now is going to come with an asterisk. 

Murray*:  Tiny wants to get paid a lot.  Will ignore his contract and leverage his team for big bucks.  Not sure if his heart is in it like some others.  Is he a leader?

Baker*:  Beats women and lives in the stadium.  I am OK with living in the stadium, but if the "beating women" thing is true--nope.  A tool that is unliked by teammates.  Thinks he is above the common man--playing the victim.

Jimmy G*:  Needs a great D, great OL, great running game to be average.  If he were a cup, he would not be dishwasher safe and you would have to protect him in the cupboard with bubble wrap.  Only use when company comes over, and that makes you nervous. (Not a durable, dependable cup).  Always been with good organizations--can he handle Clowntown?

Brees and Jake are your counterpoints?  Well okay then.

Saints can have him. Taints are toxic so he would fit right in.

Ah, the "let's go ahead and pickup Darnold's extension" mentality.

 

No….did you miss the whole “if he puts up 4000 yards and 30 TDs” part? And the answer is hell yes. What more do you want out of a QB than that?
