I mean, throw them all out week 1....and I'd concede Baker is better than every QB named going in to week 1. 

But that doesn't make Baker a good QB.  Nor does playing him really serve a purpose outside of Rhule trying to squeak out the max possible wins.  I'd rather Rhule play whatever combo of his handpicked Sam/PJ to start off the year and see what Matt Corral has.  That will help us make decisions next offseason. 

No argument...

There are at least some hints in this and other articles that Ben McAdoo might be okay with that option as well.

What does it mean? I haven’t hear anything regarding him looking better in team workouts. 

As far as I can tell in context, it means McAdoo thinks he looked a little better.

Way too early for that to translate into anything yet.

I can't imagine think they will put that much stock into Sam looking good in shorts with no pass rush? 

Any statement made at this time of year is best taken with liberal amounts of sodium chloride.

It's basically just first impressions right now. Nobody really knows anything definitive yet.

The way I look at it, if Corral is going to struggle in his first year under center.  I would rather him do it this year than having to wait until 2023.  If Corral can execute the playbook.  Let him play.  Our line is much better so he won't be running for his life.

I still wish they would sign Cam as a backup.  He's much better than PJ and Darnold.

That's the biggest issue. I don't care how good sammy looks in practice or how much he seems to have improved there. if there's no bullets flying, we won't know.

i don't even care how well he does with an improved OL, because there's going to be times it collapses or he perceives it's collapsing or CMC is out or something isn't absolutely perfect and he's going to freak out.

Well they said the same thing last year so I will take it with a grain of salt. 
Practice is such a poor measuring stick for how good/improved a player is. 
Just look at how many UDFA camp MVPs the fans have crowned. Then the season begins and reality hits that player in the face.

Given the QB's coming out in the 23 draft, we need to have an idea of what this kid can do by the end of the season, which is more of an opportunity than most 3rd round qb's get.  Play him early.

Short of him being OROY we should draft a QB next year no matter what.

I've said this numerous times myself.  We need more than one promising young qb to develop on this team.  Corral could be great but he could also be lost to injury and we have no backup plan.  I'm in the camp that you are always looking for a franchise qb even if you have one already. Those guys are rare and you don't want to be caught without one.

Whatever you have to pay these guys after a trade just pay Cam and save the fuging picks. Foles would have been another. 

I don't see and don't hope to see any draft picks lost for either of them.

The article mentions Newton...

The Panthers are open to signing quarterback Cam Newton, but he would not enter camp as the starter, and would have to agree to a smaller salary.

There's still been no indication Newton wants to play for Matt Rhule again, and the team's conditions don't exactly sound "ideal" for him.

Mayfield seems like the best, and most likely option over San Francisco’s Jimmy Garoppolo even if Panthers receiver Robbie Anderson isn’t thrilled with the idea of Mayfield coming to Charlotte.

 

...Does Robbie realize he is the Sam Darnold of wide receivers? Nobody gives a damn what you think....he acts like hes relevant. The day you are off this team is the day I uncork the Dom....

      Time to Sign David Njoku

      Gronk is the best TE of all time, but he also played with Brady. Clarke was great, but had Peyton and in an era TE's didn't make crazy money. Kittle is great, but the two times he's made the SB, he was still on his rookie contract for one, and the other the 49ers had Purdy on a cheap rookie deal which help them build the rest of the roster. So again, it's not about not wanting an elite TE, of course it would be nice.  But realistically, in today's NFL, unless that elite TE with a top end TE salary is on a team with a GOAT level QB and/or other serious cap savings (i.e. key players on rookie deals), then I think it's not a good use of cap space.

      This place was the poo pre tepper with tons of hilarious posters like phillyB. Joined in the 2000s during the 07 season and have been here bitching about this team since. but yeah its sadly been dying a slow death, every time I come to this site I am surprised its still up. I think the 2015 season was the absolute peak, the Panthers and this board especially just haven't "felt" the same since then. Igo should really sell the board since he clearly doesn't care anymore. Also, Reddit blows and the Bryce defenders on there need Jesus.

      Guessing the price is too rich here given the injury history.  2024 was brutal and production dropped off in 2025 with a few more injuries (albeit rough qb play).    Don’t really understand the narrative that Young can’t benefit from talented upgrades on offense. Especially here with respect to a tight end. Any QB will benefit from talented receivers that threaten the top of coverage and tight ends with skills to stress zone.    The age and injury history, coupled with what he’s likely asking, just probably means we can better spend that money elsewhere.
