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.

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?

    • Right. But you do understand that there is no such thing as not signing free agents, right? That's what I mean. So make some good free agency moves and do well in the draft. That's step one. If you can't accomplish that, then this will just keep getting worse.
    • Sweet jebus this is idiotic Yes, overall team success in this league, you need a good QB, but beyond just that painfully obvious fact, let's get into the rest of the stupid in there......... First things first, you say.. "if we need a good QB for him to have success, then why are you drafting that player with the #1 pick" Show me one time I've ever said we would need a good QB for T-Mac himself to have success... you can't, because I never have.  I think you're referring to the "he's bad enough that we then have a Top 5 pick to target a QB" part of my post, which is very clearly talking about said QB, not T-Mac.  The other way to interpret that is just overall team success, which again, wouldn't be anything about T-Mac or his ability to impact the offense or overall team wins and losses. I'm quite sure I could do this with a number of teams over the years, but I don't want to spend the time to do multiple, so I'll keep it to just the 2023 Vikings right now since you wanted to use Jefferson as your example....... The Vikings went 3-6 after Cousins went down last year.  And two of those wins came before Jefferson even came back from his own injury, they were 1-4 in the final 5 weeks after Jefferson came back. In those 5 games, Jefferson had 31 catches, 503 yards, and 2 TDs Having the WR you specifically called out didn't help them go better than 1-4 with a bad QB, even though he still put up a great stat line for that time period either.  It also didn't make that QB good enough to where they then went out and brought in TWO new QB's this year to replace Doubs and Mullens who started down the stretch for them last year. And that's with 4th year Jefferson, not a rookie that T-Mac would be If you expect a WR getting drafted #1 overall to be the player to turn a franchise as bad as we are around in 1 season, make whatever QB we're able to put in there be successful, and lead us to a solid season, then you are literally insane. We are AWFUL, we have a few young guys who could turn into great players, but we are so far from being a good team, that there isn't any player we could draft next year that is going to change that in 2025.
