Baker may be happening today.

I fully believe that either Baker or Jimmy G will be our starter on opening day. Rhlue knows that he's on the hot seat and starting Darnold will almost certainly get him fired. All this faking pumping up of Darnold's confidence is just in case we might actually have to start him this season. While I love corral's talent, he's going to need time to learn how to run an NFL offense before he's game ready. I'd prefer us take a chance on baker because he would come cheaper and maybe the big dose of humble pie he got from the NFL will change him and allow him to hit his full potential. Jimmy G is just a more attractive Teddy Bridgewater with a bum shoulder.

Sigh.  Not at your CmC2k just at this line of thinking, which is not wrong.  Rhule is coaching for his job and seemingly will do something rash to save it.  Whether its trade for baker for a year or give a nice big contract to jimmy g.

 

He should however be telling mcadoo to be creating an offense that corral can jump into week one and build from there.  The easiest way for rhule to keep his job is to show corral can win some games and be an nfl qb.  That buys him time.  Throwing more poo at the wall at qb is a sure fire way to get canned

God forbid you dare mention the word "clickbait" in reference to the 27th vague obscure tweet about how an anonymous source heard from their anonymous source's anonymous source that there's possibly a chance that maybe we could perhaps consider trading for Baker sometime between today and 2027...cause that's toxic as hell and I won't stand for it!!!

In fairness if someone is still stewing about this days later you're kinda proving his point.

Oh Franky, I'm so glad I have you to follow me around in threads to tell me how mad I am, otherwise I would just never know.  My "stewing" + your saltiness, what a perfect pairing we make.

I'm absolutely not wasting my time reading any of that condescending bullshit. You made a point, stood by it, and it was refuted. Take your garbage elsewhere and see if the high-and-mighty act works on someone else.

, how mad would you say I am?  Frank's salt is more than enough for my stew, I don't need yours thanks.  Gotta watch my sodium levels!

I'd say you're definitely one of the angriest people on this board, for sure.

Can you explain the incongruence between what I said vs. what you said? If I'm starting off my sentence with "Lol do you guys actually think", it should signal that I'm emphasizing the ridiculousness of what follows.  If I say something like "Lol do you actually think Jimmy Clausen is the best QB in franchise history?" - suffice to say, that's probably not a position that I myself hold.

If you're getting hung up on me saying "that's literally the entire point of my post" to you asking me if I think people need to make things up to criticize Tepper - I meant the entire point of my post is asking that same question, i.e. "do you people seriously feel the need to make things up to criticize Tepper".  Not that the entire point of my post is that people do need to make things up to criticize him.  Sure maybe I could have phrased that better, but if I was saying what you think I was saying, I'd in essence be holding the position that Tepper is perfect and infallible.  If you apply even the slightest bit of context or critical thinking, it should be pretty obvious that this is not a position I hold.

Really?  That post?  Interesting.  I would definitely say more "condescending" as you correctly identified the first time, but as a bleeding heart liberal, I would never dare invalidate your feelings.  Bottom line is that you were the one who got fed up and stormed off during that discussion, not me.

If this was an Xbox Live Call of Duty lobby, you'd totally be pwning my n00b ass with this "U mad bro?" line.  But I dunno I guess it doesn't really sting very much when you're a grown adult.  Just feels kinda cringe bro.

Witnessing your pithy attempts at gaining some upper hand (at what? For what?) over a course of multi-paragraph word salad amuses the hell out of me.

By the way, I'm a Democrat, too. And you are mad as hell.

Guys, I found a safe in a new house I just bought that hasn’t been opened since 1983. It says it contains the exact time Baker Mayfield will be traded to the Carolina Panthers. Crazy how it predicted both the Panthers who didn’t exist yet nor did Baker but I digress. I’ll post the info once I open it, I super pinky swear promise. spacer.png

No YOU mad!! 

Am I doing this right?  Is this seriously the level of discourse you want to contribute to these boards?

On a side-note: what do you think "pithy" means?  I'm not sure how you reconcile characterizing my post as both "pithy" and a "multi-paragraph word salad" lol.  Those are quite literally completely contradictory.

      From the ground up: How the Panthers are retooling Bryce Young's footwork to slow down time

      By rayzor · Posted

      we got spoiled having superman and even then...he wasn't enough. superman was a fluke. there are incredibly unrealistic expectations for a first round QB, especially a first overall pick. people look at the short term, first year, rather than what you might get the next 10 and they also think that what you see the first year or two is what you get the rest of the time.  it just doesn't work like that. these guys are all young and a work in progress. you draft on potential. what it takes to reach that potential is different for everyone and it all depends on the situation they fall into, the player pieces around them, the scheme they either put him in or develop around him (the latter is better), and the coaching they give him. then there's also the work the player has to put into it. the work they put into is is the only thing they can control. the rest is just luck.

      I actually agree with everything you've said here. My comment was directed to the posters who feel the need to derail threads with the same Bryce talking points over and over again. It's just tiresome, even if what they're saying has some truth to it.

      That's not totally the case. It is hard to discuss future without a crystal ball, you look at the past the to assess and project, and there is a lot of on field negative from year one. Some people say throw it out. You can’t dismiss things that were on him and not the OL or Reich or Chark or Mingo etc., if you want the real story.  That footwork is not just people picking on him, it is probably a huge barrier to his potential success. All the passing comes from a base and if it is off the throws are hard to trust.  OTA optimism is fools gold tbh. It buys nothing. We have seen the skins and shirts all stars enough times to know what that is. We will need real football at real football game speed which we won’t get even in preseason.  That said I expect him to somehow make his way to somewhere in QB tiers or rankings to maybe low 20s. Gotta win 6 at least for that.  My opinion is if they can make a playoff run with a 4th tier QB then fine but I’d just as soon go over to the side of those who for years held out for a QB capable of taking the team to and winning a SB. I am not thinking he is that guy so far but taking this year to find out is necessary.
