Speaking objectively...

This is a really well administered trade when you look at what we gave up and what we're paying.

Speaking personally...

I'm not a Baker Mayfield fan, but I'll hope for the best.

Yea 5 mil and 5th rounder. But its just so hilarious

However I can think of Dak, Russell and Carr that were drafted in the 2nd or 3rd and could come in and play right off the bat.  If they can play they can play, sitting a qb is a strategy from yesteryear

It's like people forgot 3rd round rookie Davis Mills existed last year. Was he great? No. But he showed enough for the Texans to know how to approach this offseason at the QB position.

What would your plan be?  Throwing in Matt before hes ready just because you want him to be is the definition of throwing poo at the wall.

The plan should be, if we truly had a first round grade on him, would be to have Ben M build an offense around MC that wouldnt overwhelm him in week 1 and build from there.  Give him every fuging rep you can in practice and at least see what you have.  At some point in the season you will have an pretty concrete idea if he can play and grasp what you are trying to accomplish.  If so awesome you ahve a cheap qb to build around, if not and he is a disaster draft another one.  This isnt hard

That's short term thinking.

So after this year, you either have to extend Baker for starting QB money, or you have to go into 2023 with Corral as essentially a rookie after getting very few reps in 2022. 

Lots of qbs sit and learn their first season.  Especially mid round picks.  If he doesnt learn anything all season because he is hypothetically getting less reps then hes probably not going to be the answer anyways.

While I was fine with not getting him at all, this salary is not prohibitive if he flops and the team sucks. Corral could still play just like he might've before and Carolina has someone who has shown way more than Sam.

Bit of an eye-roll at Rhule, but a much more friendly move than their other boneheaded QB pickups.

desperation move. I don't mind the price of a 2024 conditional 5th, but doesn't feel like there's any sort of long term vision. What good does winning 8-9 games this year instead of 5-6 do?

Well... Winning 9 games is better than 5 games. Math!

      Monroe Freeling’s lovely GF

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      By Swaggasaurus · Posted

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
