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"

    • This is where we begin our "slide" similar to Matt Rhule's 2nd season Panthers L 35-9
    • Everyone is seeing it now, but nobody wanted to listen to me when I was saying all these things for well over a year leading into this draft.  And it's not that it's sneaky speed, it's like I said, he's not a quick twitch guy that has super burst off the line, but once he gets going with those long strides, he really gets moving.  Everyone was so sacred about potential 40 times, he was never going to be that kind of guy to have a crazy fast time, but he has more than enough speed to be an elite WR in this league given everything else he brings to the table. Which is why using him on the underneath stuff isn't a bad strategy, he excelled on those in college since he's catching it in full stride and was good at getting YAC on those routes.  The problem is Canales' play design and calling, the great coaches run certain plays to set up later plays that get that player running wide open across the middle just 7 yards downfield, but with acres of space and at full stride, and Canales just doesn't have that in him. But also yes, we need to be throwing more jump balls to him when there's no safety help on the outside, it seems like Canales won't let Bryce check to it for some reason, as he never does. Yep, I saw AJ in him from the second he stepped foot onto the field as a Freshman, to me the closest direct comp. But in the pre-draft process I saw someone say he's a combo of Plaxico and V-Jax and I couldn't help but feel that was scary accurate.
    • appears so don’t see him on the bench either.
