Why sign a QB that doesn't want to be here?

Beggars can't be choosers. And if we get Baker it's merely a stopgap anyways so I wouldn't be concerned about him not wanting to be here.

He has to audition somewhere so it might as well be here. I hear Tepper pays a qb well no matter how much the suck so there's that.

Unlike Darnold, Baker has won games in the league - even one in the playoffs.  I worry however that Baker just might be good enough to win 7-8 games here.

I would not mind him here, if our evaluation said he could be the guy.  Problematically, I don't trust our evaluators.  And that's the real problem.  If we had solid evaluators, and they said he was the guy, bring him in.  Get him here.  Draft a tackle.

Unfortunately, we can't trust our eval.  And then Baker wins 7 games, we're drafting in the teens, and no chance to draft a guy we REALLY like once Rhule is gone.

This franchise is so screwed up man.

I mean I doubt he is knocking down the door trying to play for Matt Rhule, but I'm sure he would have no problem playing here if we traded for him.  Let's be honest, he doesn't have many other options nor is he in a position to be picky...

No he doesn't, but Mayfield isn't exactly known as the kind of guy who realistically evaluates his position and behaves accordingly.

We also have a receiver on the team who thinks he has the influence of a Brady or Rogers and who also doesn’t want Baker in Charlotte. It would be fun to watch them get along though.

I might prefer a Panthers reality TV show over watching the actual games at this point. "Football Nightmares"

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By MHS831 · Posted

      I see Bryce's development this way: He improved when his supporting cast improved.  TMac and Dowdle saved his arse last year, but in fairness, most good QBs have good WRs and good RBs--and good OLs.   The 2025 OL underperformed, actually. They were above average, but they should have been elite if you consider the salary cap.   As soon as we signed Lewis and Hunt, I started thinking, "That's not sustainable.  With Ickey about to get paid a LT salary, Moton and Hunt grabbling $50m per season combined, and Lewis around $17m--that would be nearly $100m and the Center just walked.  Yikes.  What does that mean?  Rico walks, Mays walks, and we do not have a top 5 WR on a second contract.  We do not have an elite TE, and only 1 is on a modest second contract. And now Bryce will demand $50m for his incremental rise to mediocrity?   So when we sign Bryce, we will get weaker at other positions.  Hunt, Moton, maybe Ickey and Lewis, will all be casualties--that is the right move regardless (not sure yet about Ickey, but he was not elite) Bryce is one lucky, entitled camper.  No competition since being drafted, and he lost his job for a while to the aging clipboard holder.  Now we are bringing in UDFAs and busts to compete with him.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      Probably not.  If we are taking a QB, it would be a prospect to replace Bryce and not a flyer type player.  I can't say for sure, but I doubt he would have cracked the top 3-4 QBs even if he were to play this coming season.

      The Giants, Cardinals  and Dolphins should have moved on, but they didn't and ended up cutting their QB early into a monster second contract and had to eat a TON of dead cap money.
