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"

    • I can't help but think that you are equating physical attributes alone with wins. I don't subscribe to that thought. No one will argue that Young has a strong arm, but he makes up for it in other ways. The real limitation for him is he needs good route runners with great hands. That's why Young was so good at the end of the 24 season. Thielen and Coker were perfect receivers for him and he had his best games with them. Not having them to start the 25 season hurt. Look at the first 10 games in 25 with a rookie receiver and no Coker and then look at the final 7 games with a more experienced rookie and Coker back and there is a telling difference in Young's performance. Prior to week 10, Young had 1 game with a QB rating above 100, 2 games with a rating above 90 and 6 games with a rating below 90. In the last 7 games with Coker back, Young had 3 games with a QB rating above 100, 2 games with a rating above 90 and only 2 games with a rating below 90. The tools a QB has to work with matter more than their arm strength.  To go back to Darnold and Stafford, yes they both have great arm strength but neither had much success with that alone. As I already pointed out, Stafford, even with a canon for an arm, only had 4 winning seasons in his first 12 years. It was only when he went to the right environment that he had true success.
    • I don't love this role for him if I'm being totally honest The pregame show is much more flash than substance and doesn't seem like the right fit for what Luke would bring to the table, and that's his vision of the game. I'd like to see him do something where it more involves him breaking down film and explaining what he's seeing out there, as he sees the game in a way very few ever have.
