I never wanted Baker coming here anyway, so this is good news. We'll get our franchise QB in the 2023 draft imo. 2022 is pretty much a lost season.

Don't tell that to the guys holding out hope for saviors in free agency.

With Tepper basically giving him another mulligan year, why not? If we suck, he points to the QB situation.  If we do better than expected, Rhule comes out on top.  It's really a win-win for him.

Person added this comment regarding Tepper possibly not wanting to add another veteran like Mayfield...

In fact, after the Panthers traded up to take Corral in the third round a couple of days after David Tepper’s comments about being patient through a rebuild, it makes sense that Tepper doesn’t want to spend much more on another quarterback who probably won’t get the Panthers any closer to a Super Bowl.

So adding any FAs this late in the offseason isn't about getting substantially better as a team, it's about moving the benchmark forward for Rhule, even if it's just a little.  That's precisely what I thought.

That's not exactly what's being said. 

Person's full quote from the article...

I know, I know — this isn’t terribly original. But it’s kind of important, especially considering the Panthers’ struggles at the position since Rhule arrived. The third-year coach seems to be warming to the idea of rolling with Darnold and rookie Matt Corral this fall, though he refused last week to shut the door completely on adding a veteran quarterback (which is to say, Baker Mayfield). Rhule suggested it wouldn’t be that difficult for a new QB to come in at or near the start of training camp and pick up Ben McAdoo’s offense and be ready by Week 1.

      Jaycee LOCKDOWN Horn is due for a breakout year

      Ha-ha, I bet that went through everyone's mind.  Admittedly I don't read all the comments in a thread before I make a post. Great minds think alike!

      An honest look at Bryce Young

      By OneBadCat · Posted

      Cam was hitting his stride as a QB in 2017/2018.     This is why I think stats like completion percentage are overrated. As long as a QB is clutch and makes the throws to win the game the rest doesn’t really matter. What good is a check down stat padder if they’re a choker.  Until Norv Turner (and briefly Chud) got here we put Cam in high pressure throwing situations all the time. We also ran the ball on first down more than most teams in the NFL in the Ron era. Coupled with shitty WRs, all that is expressed in his stats. I also assume Cam took the ball in his hands on many occasions rather than trust Funchess to catch the ball.    It was also never Cams job to play the game like someone else. His presence on the field dictated the game in a way that is rarely seen.  He showed he could play the dink and dunk game just before TJ Watt. That didn’t suddenly make him better than his earlier seasons. He just got put in a legit under center  passing game again for first time since his rookie year with Chud.    Ron took the quickest path to success and abused the RPO because his ass was about to get fired.    Cam never got the credit for being the cerebral player that he was. I just think when you are legitimately a human Superman, sometimes the best play is having the ball in your hands. He was a better passer than Delhomme was.

      I don't think Canales has any problem benching Bryce or moving on if Bryce doesn't come out playing like the end of last year.  It's year 3 no more excuses for Bryce
