Per Jonathan Alexander, Browns were willing to eat 50% of Bakers salary($9m) and Panthers said no. Apparently, the max we want to take is $5m, playing hardball with them.

JA has been on top of this for a few weeks. By the way, I’m a big fan of Julian and his pod… Just thought I would drop this by, as we spoke with Jon a few days back on Fox Sports Upstate. 

 

Big fan of yours and Billy’s as well, listened to the latest one on the Camp Confidential before Julian’s. Great work, we’ve needed a Panthers podcast like a Corona needs a lime and glad we’ve got a couple now.

I honestly don’t understand why you draft Corral with Sam on the team and then sign Baker as well. This would literally mean that Corral sees little to no playing time and we go into 23 not knowing what we have.

As it should be, Corral is nowhere near ready to see the field. All the rage is starting young QBs early now, I’m still a believer they need to sit at least a year, if not more.

Exactly.  Corral would be 4th on the depth chart and a practice squad guy.  And pretty much this is the most Matt Rhule possible outcome.   

and while Baker would be the best QB in 2022.  Especially the start.  There is no actual point going down the Baker road.  Outside of the fact Baker would probably get us the max amount of wins this team could muster.

What are the actual probabilities? We have an ass coach, a poo ass roster. We want to bring a diva in…when does this team face reality?

Probably just pure desperation to have as many shots at finding a guy as necessary.

Maybe we plan on trading Sam for some scraps while eating most of his salary as well? Baker would be the best QB on the team week 1 instantly and it gives Corral time to learn and get ready. I just think his personality may make things difficult…

Not if they release Sam.

Not to mention we need to roll over as much cap as possible if we want to extend Burns and not be bottom feeders in next years free agency.

Pretty mind blowing that after three 5 win seasons we're like negative $30M in cap next year from extending Shaq/Robby/CMC. If Corral isn't the answer at QB on a cheap deal then it will really be close to Rhules 7 year "plan", it just involves firing him, blowing the whole thing up, and letting a new HC fix it in 2-3 years

Because you're trying to save your ass / pro coaching career.

I am 100% on board bringing in Mayfield if it doesn't cost us too much draft or cap capital. Nobody on this roster is bringing us to the promised land. I'm a believer, but Corral needs time. If my team isn't contending, it needs to at least entertain me. All through camp and preseason we'll get Baker v Darnold. Baker v Anderson. Darnold road to redemption. Baker revenge tour. Rhule trying to explain how it all makes sense. Cam being brought back after week 4.  Katie Porter brings in her whiteboard and grilling Rhule and Tepper. Let's goooooooo!!!!

      My long and rambling post:   The guy is all heart, and I wouldn’t be surprised if he came back even better next year. He’s exactly the guy you lock up. The money won’t ever change the way he plays.  It was a big fumble, but what 1,000 yard back fumbles once in an entire season?  Pride. This team is FINALLY seeing guys who obviously take the game very seriously. Hunt, Chuba, Thielen, Brown, Horn (CB), Coker, Bryce (IMHO). Bye bye, Spider-Man. I don’t see these dudes being OK with teammates half-assing practice or in games. I can see Brown and Horn coming over to talk to somebody.  Good team? Ummm, maybe, but will still likely lose more close games than they win unless this last draft turns in to LOB part 2. That’s a stretch.  Pretty good/decent team. Yes. They finished the season as a pretty good team. I know I sound like a broken record harping back to it, but going in to ATL and putting a 40 burger on them en route to an OT win. A bad Panthers team would have had their brakes beaten off. We’ve seen it.  Rose colored glasses on and bonging a 40 of hopium: There are watershed moments that occur that change the course of franchises, both good and bad. If Fox doesn’t pull Rodney at halftime, the epic journey that was 2003 never happens. On the negative side, Cam taking that one hit from Watt was the end of any and all Panthers relevancy and we’ve been the biggest losers in all of pro sports as a result. Watershed moments. LOB draft. Vinny goes down and the goat is born.  Will the ATL game be the spark that this franchise has desperately needed? Could it be that they hit the mega million jackpot with Princley and Scourton as eat QBs for breakfast? Sure would be nice having 2 all-pro edge guys on the cheap for the next 4 years.  A lot of unknowns, but at least it actually feels  fun again.

      Maybe faked was too strong of a word.  "Milked" may be the better way to call it.
