Baker Mayfield is a Carolina Panther

[tgrfan01]

not bad at all considering what we gave up..at worse he comes in and bombs...at best he comes in and plays way better than darnold and we are competitive this season

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.

Good trade value. Our FO keeps finding and creating value. 

Im excited about the open QB competition.

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.

Hold on to Sam let him "appear" better in an actual NFL offense, and wait for an injury to flip his ass to a desperate team

2024...

...and conditional.

[KSpan]

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!

Maybe he doesnt know math?
