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.

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?

      With the first pick, don't draft a QB? Draft a DE? C'mon!

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      This draft is 2023 all over again, it's not hard to see. QB's who don't grade out as high first round prospects while at the same time, the following draft class looks to be loaded with elite QB prospects. Drafting a QB just because you need one (or making a bad trade to make said draft pick), when there isn't one worthy of that draft pick, is how you ruin franchises, just look at us right now.

      I upgraded to the S24+ a few weeks back. Very happy with it.

      LOL... Yet again proving you can't look below anything than what you see on the surface Mock drafts ARE NOT draft grades They are what people think will happen.  They are mocking teams taking QB's in the top 5 of the draft because that's just historically how drafts go regardless of the grades on the QBs.  Almost every draft expert, even those mocking QB's going high, have said time and time again that none of these QB's actually grade out as those type of picks. This is again, where I say you don't like to actually read what I have to say, because I already explained it. 2022 the exact same thing happened, mock drafts had guys like Pickett and Willis going in the Top 5 because that's just what teams usually do, but GM's listened to their prospect grades and knew they weren't worth taking that high, so they didn't. It's not to say QB's won't go that high this year, but it's to say that they aren't graded out as elite QB prospects.   And yes, I've never said I'm not a T-Mac homer. But me being that doesn't change that he will be the highest graded offensive player in this year's draft, at a position we haven't been able to solve since we lost Smitty.  Taking him makes all the sense in the world, my bias aside.
