Albert Breer: Baker Mayfield would be redundant to Sam Darnold and the Browns are pushing more for a trade than the Panthers are

Browns have literally zero leverage with Baker. zero. He's coming off a pretty major injury and a pretty terrible year. They obviously don't need him on the team and he's clearly unhappy. His contract stinks. 

 

Why would anyone trade for him?

 

The only way someone trades for him is if Cleveland agrees to eat his whole salary and it's for minimal draft compensation. Otherwise just wait till they're forced to cut him.

I would take a trade straight up, solves both teams problems for at least this year. NO picks. The money is the same. It still won't stop the Panthers for drafting a QB if the top 3 tackles are gone or dropping back and picking up Coral or Howell later on.

Mayfield looked like total ass last year.  Is he better than Darnold?   Sure.  Is it a lot?  LOL No.

Put him on the jets or our panthers and you'd see similar numbers.  He was on a much better team last year and his stats were awfully similar to Darnold. 

We will not win anymore games with Baker under center than Sam.

Baker sucks.

Mans had 17 TD's and 13 picks last year. Darnold had 9 TD's and 13 picks. To say he's not better than him by a lot is kind of funny.

That’s only because Sam has missed games though.   Sam throws picks at a higher rate with less TDs.  

Baker has almost 40 more passing TDs. 

Baker has been in a markedly better position. Let's not forget that tidbit. Other than changing coordinators, like Darnold, Baker's situation has been superior in every way. 

I'll take Baker over Sam for sure, but only if we don't give anything of consequence. Otherwise, this FO, Fitterer included, will appear like braindead zombies.

Same difference. It wouldn't really change much for us. Trading for him when the Browns have to get rid of him is peak dumbass.

Just sign the new meat off the open market for cheap, none of it will be the difference maker for these turds anyways.

he has been in a better situation.   But bad situations aren't uncommon in the NFL.  How good or bad your QB is has a lot to do with how your situation ultimately looks in the end too.  Coaches have their stock go up and down because of the QB as well. 

but I wouldn't call Baker's rookie season an ideal scenario.  He is just a more taletned QB than Sam Darnold by a margin it isn't really worth comparing them as players.  And Baker still isn't good.

The Panthers are still deluded about reality if they think Baker Mayfield is redundant to Sam Darnold. Mayfield probably isn't the answer but he's way better than Sam Darnold. And he's better than the current version of Jimmy G too. He's just a spoiled brat.

 

I agree.  Even in terms of skillset they arent even the same.  I dont get the redundant thing unless they are maybe saying record wise but even then I think we probably win one or two more games with Mayfield.

Perhaps the only reason I would be happy to see the Panthers trade for Jimmy G or Baker M is that it would indicate that we are getting a stud LT (probably Cross) or a stud Edge (probably Thibodeaux) or that we hope to trade back.

I think that is the first step regardless of what we do.

The Panthers, however, are considering trading back.  Bringing in Howell,  and that G from Chatanooga--both early day 2 picks.  If we trade back and take Howell, there are likely no tackles left, so a top G in late round 2 or early 3 could be the play, moving Brady C to LT.

That reeks of bust on three levels--but I share what THEY might be thinking, not what I want.  Every now and then someone rips me for doing that, insisting that what I think they will do is synonymous with what I want--Nope.

true.  I mean, in a sane org that move would signal an OT at #6. 

But this is a Matt Rhule lead team.   He spent his top 10 pick last season on a CB.   And while Horn is a fine player.....we also went out and signed the 2nd best DB in all the NFL and a top 10 draft pick from the year prior right after it.   We had too many other glaring needs to use that top pick on a CB last season but Rhule is going to Rhule.

Baker has also had like 4 different OC's. Do we just ignore that? That can hinder a QB in a heartbeat.

      Let Rod Walk

      I wholeheartedly and respectfully disagree with wanting RBA gone.  It would be a huge mistake.

      Canes vs rags rd 2 game 6 7pm Thursday

      By Rocky Davis · Posted

      Rod wasn't on the ice for any of the goals the Canes scored or the ones we let the Rags score. Hockey is a cruel sport sometimes and I've said winning a Cup is probably the hardest championship to win in all the major sports; what with the salary cap in place, injuries that can and do happen to key players, teams/players that go on "heaters," and just plain damn puck luck. The Canes were the better team, but didn't perform and/or get much luck at all this series.  Refs were decidedly against the team (not saying this is why we lost the series, but it was obvious).  Games 2, 3 and 6 were winnable games for us and the guys didn't play up to the moment, they played nervous, scared, "not to lose hockey," and lost both of the OT games because of it and blew it tonight.  Game 1 was the only straight loss and unfortunately Freddie must have been wearing his Toronto undergarments tonight.  He deserves a lot of the blame tonight, but I can also say we had a couple of other guys that helped the collapse.  Orlov comes immediately to mind tonight and in one of the OT games when he just over skated a puck, to me he made (throughout the season) some of the most consistently dumbest plays I had ever seen out of the Canes defensive unit under RBA and Gleason. Losing absolutely sucks especially to this POS Rags team who can go fug each other, the refs, and the league officials who absolutely want them in the playoffs for as long as possible.  Trocheck can suck a fat cawk for his petty bullshit and I hope karma brings Trouba that broken neck he so richly deserves. All that being said, I don't believe RBA should be thrown under the bus AT ALL.  We could have won this series and there wasn't a specific decision he made that cost the team games.  The players didn't step up in the moments when they needed to, our PP was terrible all series, our PK was terrible in Games 1 and 2 and let us down in Game 6.  We tightened up in the OT games, our goalies were plain average or worse in 5 of 6 games with Freddy losing any sort of mental toughness tonight.  We rarely saw the Canes play the way they can play and when that happens in the playoffs say hello to the end of your season.  I've mentioned it before, but to win the Cup every one of those guys who laces em up and gets out there on the ice has to leave their blood, sweat, and tears out there every single night whether you are playing the Jr. Canes or fugging Rags.  There is no tomorrow, there is now and the Canes have not done that in the playoffs.  We've had tough breaks with injuries (Svech last year, Fast and Pesce this year, etc.), scoring issues, etc. but since I've been around the whole time the franchise has been in NC this iteration of the team has never shown some of the heart and grit that the teams did when they improbably went to the Stanley Cup finals vs. Detroit, won it all in 2006, and made the ECF in 2009 with overall less talent than we have now. I don't want RBA to go, he didn't lose any of these playoff series.  We can question his moves and in a few instances rightfully so, but I don't want to go back to where we were.  Daniels can go to Chicago, evaluate the roster, but this isn't an RBA issue and I don't think it's a Gleason coached D issue.  I think it's the players who have to understand an off night during the playoffs can't happen, play your game, don't overthink it, leave it all out on the ice, and take on the "us vs. the world" mentality.  Hell, the more I think about it the more this team may need a good sports psych. This series could have been 4-1 or 4-2 Canes, instead due to tightening up and nerves getting the best of the boys we lost 4-2.  It SUCKS, SUCKS, SUCKS, but no need with some of these crazy azz takes. and BTW I know we all want to attack us not getting an elite goalie, but 5 out of the last 7 Cup champions didn't have what I would call an "elite" goalie.  In most cases those teams had serviceable goalies who played up to the moment to win the Cup with their teams playing well in front of them.  The two Cups that the Lightning won with Vasilevskiy are the ones were I believe elite goaltending put them over the top. tl;dr:  This series loss isn't because of RBA, y'all are having knee-jerk reactions, our PLAYERS need to bring it when it's playoff time...they haven't, and sometimes the hockey gods aren't with you.
