Baker may be happening today.

I will say that anyone stumping for Darnold in 2021 and against Baker in 2022 has some explaining to do.

Especially if we get Baker at a fraction of the price.

The difference is that the people stumping for Darnold in 2021 were blaming his o-line/coaching staff/receiving corps for his failures in NY and clinging onto hope that maybe if those improved, Darnold would improve and maximize his potential.  Whereas with Baker, you can't really blame those things because he has had a VERY solid support system across the board in all three of those areas.  So we basically know what Baker is, best case scenario, under peak conditions and it's pretty meh.  I think pretty much everyone understands that Baker will not be getting peak conditions here lol.

Yeah but that point of view was very obviously stupid regarding Darnold. I mean....it was painfully obvious it wasn't a coaching or talent issue. It was that he didn't understand what he was seeing.

But, yes, we definitely should not be expecting better than his best efforts in Cleveland for Baker. At best, he is just not watching a guy that has no business in the NFL.

I'd rather have Cam than Baker or Jimmy G, because Cam's my favorite player of all time and his price would be lower than theirs. But realistically, it's unlikely to happen. Blame 1) the albatross that is Darnold's contract, 2) the shitshow that was an offensive line and coaching staff last season, and 3) *hide your eyes, kids! Your feelings are gonna be hurt!* David Tepper

The attraction would be maybe some actual TD passes on top of those INT's as opposed to Darnold just int's and fumbles. Not saying I want Baker but at least there would be the occasional exciting pass. 

Baker 92 td-56 int

Sam   54 td-52 int (2nd most since 2018)

Yeah, Baker has thrown a lot of INTs, but hes also still nearly got a 2:1 TD to INT ratio. 92 TDs in his first 4 seasons is nothing to shake a stick at.

Dude, seriously...get a life.

Repeatedly coming back here and stumping for something that's never gonna happen is just a huge waste of time.

Hint: The Panthers don't come to The Huddle looking for ideas.

Thats what you think.  I am actually, literally David Tepper.  Ask me anything!

    • Maaannn I had stank last night too...couldn't get it to reply on my phone! Idk why but i have to be on a PC to respond to this. 
    • Hello there.  We are rolling out a complete overhaul of the Huddle. Why: Frankly this site is so old the database and antiquated software has gotten unmanageable. There is not much we can do to fix anything anymore. The new site is wired for the future including getting back in the app stores.    When:  Hopefully by early July so that we can test and recover things. After the migrations we will still have access to the old site behind the scenes to bring over anything we missed.    Wait, will I lose anything?  We are only bringing over topics and posts from the past calendar year. The tinderbox is being set on fire and rolled off a cliff. All it ever did was made this place feel horrible all while changing approximately 0 minds in 20 years.  The new site will only have 4 forums to keep this joint Carolina team sports focused. Panthers, Hornets, Charlotte FC, Hurricanes.    Improved Moderation  This is a clean slate for us, as such if you are a problematic member (you know who you are) that enjoys getting banned and coming back, we aim to make it much more difficult for you. However, upon the move your slate is clean. Take advantage of it.  We would love to get this place back to what it used to be. Nice folks with friendly banter centered around Carolina sports. We will be using the BAN HAMMER liberally to rid this place of people who aren't interested in that or try to drag the new site back into the gutter.   New Features With new tech comes new features we will be rolling out over the rest of the year.    What about the damn ads?  Fewer and less problematic ads. Again, new tech allows for this. Without ads this place gets shut down.    What if I can't login?  If you can't login due to not being able to reset your password from the login screen, email [email protected] with your username and we will get you squared away.    Let me know if you have any specific questions.
