This is a zero risk move. If he sucks, next year he's gone and we are drafting a QB. 

Some of oyu are mad that the team is trying to get better... but there has always been a large 'cheer for losses' group here.. 

Spoiler alert:  We literally just drafted a qb

I understand this. From a long term perspective though, it wasn't the best move to make. You're going to lack key data to make some really important decisions next offseason.

Im assuming your thinking about Corral. It's best if he doesnt play right now anyway. His best chance to make it in the NFL is for the team to win, Rhule to stay as the coach and him to grow in the the back up position. 

Rhule gets fired, Corral probably gets dumped by the new staff.

holy poo, 2 or 3 games.  Wow, you mean just like with Brady christenson.  That worked out aces

There is always going to be a difference in a third rounder and a top 5 overall player.   Some gems definitely show up but you take Ikem even if BC played solid at lt all last season.

There's only so much you can do with "mental reps." You need full speed, game speed reps against a team that spent all week preparing for you. 

Not as a third round rookie you dont.  As a third round rookie coming out of a gimmick offense you need all the mental reps and time with the playbook you can get before you're thrown out there.

There’s nothing wrong with a 3rd round rookie QB riding the bench for a year.

Seriously.  Just consider this Corral's NFL red shirt year.  Apparently hes got a long way to go on the mental side of the NFL game, which it totally to be expected.  Let him develop, bring him along slowly.  Personally I love this move.  We might actually be watchable again for the first time in a while.  And Week 1 should be very entertaining considering we have Cleveland coming to Charlotte.

Because we wouldn't draft a QB in the off season if baker isn't good and go into next year with only Corral under contract? 

Let's be sensible here.

We were literally negotiating this trade at the time we drafted Corral.

You have an immediate starter on a one-year deal for minimal cash and a rookie who gets to sit back and learn.

Speaking as someone who cares neither for Baker Mayfield nor Matt Rhule, I can objectively say that's not a bad arrangement.

Patrick Mahomes and Aaron Rodgers off the top of my head

Ill give you rodgers but no way on mahomes, there were articles his rookie year about how he was destroying the practices and making the vets lose their mind.  He could have started week 1

 

and then again AR had some of the best coaching/qb coaching there ever was.  I dont see rhule and co in that same regard

That's a little premature don't you think? Baker is a rental to give Corral time to adjust and develop to the NFL. 

He'd have the same amount of time being the backup to Darnold. 

But all of these arguments operate under the assumption that Mayfield is going to be bad. 

If you think he's going to be bad then there's no reason to like the trade. If you don't think he's going to be bad then you wasted a pick on Corral

      Report: Panthers great Luke Kuechly being eyed for big TV job

      So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
