Baker Mayfield is a Carolina Panther

YOUR biggest complaint is that we got better.  You are concerned we might extend Baker for having a good year.  My God you are just complaining and contradicting yourself while doing so.  Did we not get better?  Then Baker will be a FA next year and only cost us a late round pick. 

... and we would get a comp for him... likely a 4th.

Baker Mayfield makes watching Panther Football bearable again.

For maybe one or two games before we see how bad he is and we're banging our heads against the wall or coming up with excuses for him. 

Sheer desperation move and you'd think we have learned better than to go digging through dumpsters to find our QB.

We paid a LOT less for this garbage.

But like I told LG elsewhere, at least the guy who's constantly predicting Newton is coming back and having an MVP season is probably gonna be down for the count after this.

Did we? How much better? A game? 

I'm not saying we did.  He was crying about how much money we would have to pay Baker IF he gets us in the playoffs.  All I know is it was a very low cost trade for a better QB that what we have currently.

    • He can’t even learn to run routes. No chance in hell he can do both that and pick up blocking schemes 
    • Well he had essentially a 70% completion rate for almost three thousand yards.  Biggest issues were awkward and inconsistent release.  I wouldn't call arm strength bad, but not great.    
    • I see him being better and most of that is a few downfield passes that were seemingly non existent.    But it is what is around him that has dictated the trajectory more than the quarterbacking. He is game manager level and unable to dictate to defenses.  And even if I am wrong and he is the reason we ‘upwarded’, we are bumping our heads on the ceiling and only making meager gains. If it is an incline it is awfully shallow degree wise. Like a finance graph that tracks your progress and hovers around the rate of inflation. Barely breaking even.  Is that where you want your money?  We make up these deadlines expectations and generally he does the minimum of what he needs to do to hang around.    It does not encourage me to believe that when we get into a game against a good run d that we cannot break down with our run game, to believe that we can pivot to the air and successfully counter their strategy.  But they run it back again. Of course I am gunshy of a repeat of the same thing we have watched for three years.    oh, and yes his durability is his most impressive positive for my money. I fear the other shoe dropping on that and the contractual consequences that will follow.   Last  of all, too late to edit my mistake here but would like to acknowledge it: the last three years has done very little to convince me that I was not wrong in not wanting him. One too many “not”s.
