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!!!!

      Underdog 2nd year QB preview

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      Yeah, I'm serious. You take all of the first year jitters any rookie QB starting will face. Then you put him behind an inept line, give him a group of WRs that features a 32-33 year old slot receiver as their only reliable guy and use him as WR1, no TEs to speak of, pay big bucks for an undersized and over-touted RB that isn't out competing practice squad players AND THEN pair it up with a dysfunctional owner/HC/OC combo that keeps running the same play concept again and again and again. (And coaches that were already at each other's backs with daggers don't develop young QBs... heck it's the hardest skill ever for any HC.. Jon Gruden never could do it and there's a case to be made that Belichick never did it (the QB developing the coach possibly there)). Yeah, he was bad, legendarily bad, but he was in possibly the worst environment imaginable for a rookie QB. You can take away some mechanics issues that should have been worked on and still need to be worked on, but everything else was tainted by that environment.  I wasn't impressed by him in the least for anything except for his character and willingness to go back out there and just get killed again and again. At least he wasn't running away on every play, little girly screams lifting to the cheap seats, like Pickles was.  Will he be good this year? Honestly, the odds are stacked against him. They are on every young QB in the league, and he had more piled against him. Maybe Canales can fix him and the team. I sure hope so. If not, it's back to the drawing board and we'll have wasted two seasons. I really don't want that to happen.

      The franchise guy Carolina Panthers Deep Dive

      All this talk of the supporting cast and coaching being the culprits of our struggles is just sounding like the rationalizations of Sam Darnold's time with the Jets. I'm ready to see the results and know what we have. Enough talk. Thank goodness June is finally upon us.
