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.

Was this before or after the 23rd allegation?

IMO, it only makes sense if it's a swap. Cleveland will likely have to play a QB not named Watson at some point in the season so they need a back-up but Baker doesn't want to play for them now. He could refuse to play this season for Cleveland. At least Darnold would play. 

I wouldn't understand the logic between having Baker, Darnold and Corral here. Corral should be backing up one guy, not two.

I was just going to say exactly this. Only makes sense if it's a swap. I feel Browns will be without Watson for a substantial portion of 22. Think they trust Jacoby? I wouldn't trust Darnold either but it seems like there are people in the NFL that still think he can put it together.

I still think the best scenario is trading Sam for Jimmy G straight up. San Fran saves 6 million in the process and has a backup for Trey. Wasn't San Fran interested in Sam last year.

Don’t see SF accepting this trade. Jimmy G is a capable starter, and I’m not sure Sam can offer much even as a backup.

Before the 23rd...

And the 24th...

And Rusty Hardin going on radio saying that "happy endings" aren't really that big a deal.

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.

I think people really need to get over this concept Corral is going to come in like a Cam, Herbert, Wilson. That really isn’t all that common. Some players need more time I mean look at San Fran and all they gave up. They’re not a stupid FO, they see the value in it. And it’s beneficial. Rodgers, Brady, Mahomes etc. Allen probably could’ve benefited more too.

It really will ruin players who aren’t ready. He’s a third rounder and has a lot to learn. There is no reason to sacrifice Corral just because Sam sucks balls. It may just be Corral’s ceiling is a backup which is fine.

I think playing times and whoever wins in camp will show you want you have to an extent. Granted you do have a point in Rhule is making those calls, but Mc is now here, hopefully the right ones are made.

how is this a problem? QBs sit for a couple of years all the time. give him a year or two to master the playbook

He doesn't have to.

If he came in like a Mac Jones, I'd be fine with it.

I agree.  I don't see anybody taking Sam.  But then I never dreamed someone would trade a pick for Greg Little.

I agree.  Cam also walked into a dream scenario with Smith, Gross, Stewart and Williams sitting here waiting for him alongside an OC who knew how to design an offense to play to his strengths.    Lawrence, Wilson, and Lance weren't as lucky.

So glad Watson isn't a Panther.  Hush money was set at $100k per accuser too, while some women were on board, others refused to settle.

Also "happy endings" are really a big deal if the person providing the service is not doing so willingly. Apparently most, if not all, of these women were legit massage therapists and not the type of 'therapy' Watson was seeking.  The type he was looking for can be found on billboards going down I-85.

      Are the Panthers a "Trap Game" for the Hawks?

      By MHS831 · Posted

      The Seahawks won an emotional, divisional, overtime rivalry game vs the Rams on a Thursday night (Dec 18).  That gives them 10 days to prepare for the Panthers, but the Christmas holiday fell a week later--I bet they were afforded an extra day for travel-many coming back east.  Following the Panthers, Seattle plays at San Francisco for the division title (in all probability).   The Rams finish the season with games against the Falcons and Cardinals, two likely wins, pushing them to 13-4.  The Niners finish the season with home games against the Bears and Seahawks. Seattle finishes the season with the Panthers on the road and SF in California.   It is easy to see how preparing for the Panthers, during the holiday break and with the Niners waiting for them in SF a week later for (what could be) the NFC West title and #1 Seed in the NFC, could create the perfect trap game scenario.  The Panthers at home are 5-2.   In the past 2 weeks, the Seahawks struggled to beat the Phillip Rivers Colts in Seattle and then pulled off a miraculous, emotional victory at home vs. the Rams.  I am not convinced that they are as good as advertised. Seattle is a TD favorite in Charlotte.  I feel that Carolina by 3 may be more accurate.  While I am still not confident in this team's consistency and it never seems to dominate, it sure feels like a trap game for Seattle to me.  How could they NOT be thinking of San Francisco right now?  They are not used to being in this position (current players) and it is human nature.  Carolina 27, Seattle 24.

      Robert Hunt Practice Window Activated

      By MHS831 · Posted

      It is a tough decision.  There is another factor.  Is he in game shape?  A tired Hunt is not better than an "in-shape" Corbett.  When coming off an injury, it is natural to want to protect the injured area, even if it is completely healed.  This can cause you to contort your body for no reason, lose fundamentals, and it could lead to other injuries.  For example, I had a knee in high school that required getting taped.  That made me aware of the knee (not used to tape on my knee) and I pulled my groin (favoring or dragging the leg with the tape).  The trainer explained the groin injury the way I do here--but scared money makes no money.  If he is cleared to play, he is cleared to play.  Watch him, rotate him in for a series, etc.  Specifically, I would want to watch the matchup--who is winning more--Corbett or Hunt?  How is the defense reacting (if at all) to Hunt being in?  Etc.

      Chad ‘Ochstradamus’ Johnson and Shannon Sharpe on Panthers

      By MHS831 · Posted

      Shannon was sued for $50 million (settled out of court, I believe) for forcing sex on his girlfriend during a two-year relationship.  He denies it, but ESPN let him go last April.  Chad Johnson's wife filed a police report because he head-butted her in a car and was put on probation. I had to google it.  I watched the Ray Rice video and when you see it, you realize just how vile and cowardly abusing a woman really is.  But for the same point Aussie tried to make, these women are defenseless, and being phyiscally bigger and stronger does not validate your actions.   I can't even stand to watch Steve Smith.  I can't normalize this kind of behavior--again, I do not think R-P had that in mind when he posted this.  When the reason was exposed, we should realize that we are talking life (quality of) and death (in some cases) here.
