Corral getting significant playing time is the only real answer. But I don't trust this staff to handle it properly. Not after that 2 QB system nonsense last year. If they're going to play him then give him a real shot not late in a game after Sam Darnold has been turning the ball over and playing like crap for three quarters.

Well Rhule is an idiot and the majority of his staff last season were his buddies who would not dare defy him. 

I hope with our new additions we dont see any of that nonsense.

You can’t cherry pick what I said all you want but the point is neither Sam nor Baker are the long term answer. So why trade for someone you intend to replace in the next year or so? Might as well let Sam trot out there until Corral is ready because he could be the long term answer and we need to find out if he can be before next years draft. Baker makes no sense.

Baker isnt close to a top 10 QB.

You have to name off guys like Kirk Cousins and Tannehill before thinking about Baker and they are a good ways down the list. 

He was in 2020, but nice debate technic to bash on a detail instead of the discussed point.

Answer this instead, do we will more or less games with Baker than Sam/Corral?

We probably win about the same amount of games with Baker or Sam, Baker might add 1 or 2 wins, which is not worth it. No idea on Corral, never seen him play a down in the NFL. 

Baker is not some great QB, he might be better than Sam but it is not by much.  He wasnt even top 10 in 2020, he was borderline top 15.

Cousins has consistently put up better numbers than Baker, if he is above average at best, what does that make Baker? 

The dude is a throwaway just liked Teddy B and Darnold.

I don't want us to trade for Mayfield unless we do a straight swap for Darnold.  Which apparently won't happen.  

That being said, Mayfield has played four seasons and Cousins has played 10.  So a fair comparison is their early years.  And Cousins was pretty bad his first three or four years.  In his first three seasons, Cousins had twice as many interceptions as starts (19 vs 9).  His interception percentage was higher than Mayfield or Darnold.  He did get better as time went along, and its a valid point that Cousins got better once he became the regular starter, but if you compare the early years, Mayfield seems to be slightly better, but Cousins would be better now.  Of course, I really don't want either one of them.

"rational" = Adjective

"rationale" = Noun

I tried to not say anything for as long as I could but kept seeing this thread title on first page.  It hurts my senses.  Sorry for grammar-nazi intrusion into a thread that boils down to, "how the fug do I root for Baker Mayfield?".

If the Panthers can somehow get the Browns to pay Bakers contract. I don't see the issue with having Baker, Sam and Corral . As far as Baker and Sam go, its a competition and it will bring out the best in one of them, Neither of these guys have had to fight for a starting spot. You just can't pay Baker a bunch to do it. That is the only issue.  If Corral is it, his talent will shine out ala Russell Wilson.

      Veteran CB trying out for Panthers

      I like Jaycee a lot and appreciate his leadership but to say he's above Ramsey right now is based on hopium let's be realistic. He's got a great deal to prove this season. I’m hoping to see that he firmly establishes himself amongst his peers.

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By WhoKnows · Posted

      It’s amazing how simple it is. When you are winning 2-7 games for 7 straight years, you’d think people would understand that just drafting some starters isn’t poo unless they are above average NFL starters. Justin Jefferson and Jamar Chase started their rookie years like Legette did so we got an elite WR in the 2024 draft. Luke was a rookie starter just like Wallace. Damn we basically got a Kuechly and Jefferson last year. Bravo Dan Morgan!!!

      I didn’t even say they would be starters. I don’t think Legette will be and Coker was not drafted. Coker chose to sign with us because our WR room gave him a chance to start even though we drafted a guy in the 1st. That should tell you something when Coker chose to come to Carolina even after we took Legette. We drafted and signed guys to potentially replace Sanders, who isn’t a starter yet over Tremble) and Wallace. Go look at our other drafts since Rhule. We had tons of rookie contribution from all of our recent classes. Why, because our overall talent sucked and we needed bodies. Go look at PFR. Here’s some of our players who “started” for a year: TMJ, Mingo, BC, Ian Thomas, Jermaine Carter, Dennis Daley, YGM and Roy. That’s what Legette and Wallace are right now although unless TMac bombs, Legette has kind of already lost his spot. We’ve had shitty drafts since 2018 and every single one has contributed at least two guys who’ve started so 2024 is tied for last right now and we just had a draft where we took 3 more players who play the same position as 3 of our top 4 picks in 2024 but somehow I’m saying that the 2024 draft class is good? Nope, the 2024 draft class was bad and our team is still in the low enough talent quadrant that lots of rookie contribute in our holes until we replace them. Been the same story since 2018 and accelerated as the old solid vets retired/move on.
