Baker Mayfield is a Carolina Panther

Wasted a 3rd on Corral. This FO continues to make strange moves. 

I wouldn't say waste just yet. 5 million + 5th rounder is not a big investment in a QB, especially on the last year of his deal. We'll see what this upcoming season brings and re-visit next offseason.

Yea that's honestly what I'm most concerned about.  It's the opportunity cost of playing Mayfield for a season, and perhaps not seeing what we have in Corral at all.

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

I don't have a problem with this. Dude is a legit gunslinger. His best years are definitely in front of him, and I think he's a guy who can command a huddle.

And I don't think he has the headcases here that he had to deal with in Cleveland. With protection, there's no reason to think he can't succeed here.

I was content to roll with what we have, but this could actually make us a contender for the next 2-3 years.

92 tds

56 ints

4 years

never over 3900 yards.  Yeah man a true gunslinger

Why does this staff think it can take other teams qbs and make them good?  This is the 3rd time now that we have gotten a poo qb that has had numerous staffs that couldnt change them.  Where in the fug does rhules confidence come from?  This is insane

In Baker’s defense, last year he was hurt and his HC kept playing him even though it was obvious.  Shades of Rivera trotting out Cam with one shoulder.  
 

He played all 16 games in 2020 and was 26/8 TD/INT (not including the playoffs and a W).  He’s not prime Peyton Manning but he’s not poo either

There is no qb competition. They may put on airs to make Sam feel better, but we know who is starting week one

Praying Darnold shows something in camp and breeds some kind of competition.

    • You can't say that with any certainty at all. Bryce played the worst football of any rookie ever. His mechanics and footwork have nothing to do with Frank, DC or anyone else. All those ints and fumbles, yep, those are Bryce too.  Bryce and Stroud are 2 different QBs. Just because Bryce had one complete game in year 3 vs Atlanta doesnt mean he could have led a team to the playoffs his rookie year. 
    • I added a question mark to your question. Also bolded it to look prettier.  
    • I don't understand the tone, I gave you my ranking, that's it.  And yes, I still view Lawrence and Kyler are still ahead, in my opinion, which doesn't really mean much lol.  What's this have to do with being a fan ffs? I will say, they are at the end of the list/the more arguable/debatable guys.  So open to debate but it seems you're going straight to the "you're not a fan" debate.  Which is super annoying. Maybe I'd agree Bryce could be ~19-20 on the list if the argument was laid out instead.  His Atlanta game was better than anything they have done in recent memory, but he's had like 10 other games this season.   He is way more inconsistent in my view, due to a few factors... Shotty footwork - he has a shallow lazy step back from gun that puts an OL in an impossible place.  Goes on his toes wayyy to much more my liking. Poor upper body mechanics.  His upper body remains parallel to the LOS and has to perform that rapid twitch/turn motion to get in stance His shallow drops also create a lack of sight lines so he can't layer throws well He's had poor pocket presence - not last week, but it's been a thing   Pure traits standpoint Arm strength is mediocre Mobility is mediocre - can outrun at times but quicker IDLs can catch him Accuracy is a range due to his inconsistency - can be above average to very poor.  His career so far has been pretty bad with intermediates (which again was not the case against ATL) Ball Security Way too sensitive to fumbling Has exhibited very poor decision making, especially in first halves that put the team behind This all does NOT take away that he had a GREAT performance against ATL.  He was able to extend plays, found guys post-route in stride, the XL throw in Q3 was fantastic, a few of the Coker crossers were beauts.  There's no disputing that.   But yeah, in totality, it hasn't looked good but he absolutely cooked last week. Outside of that, he's only had 5 other 250 yard passing games in his entire career.  He stalls on drives, makes annoying turnovers, doesn't see the right guys.  It's okay to both say that and the fact that he balled tf out last week.  I hope he continues so we get better and maybe can make some noise.  Big test on Monday.
