worse case scenario falls in between that though. 

Baker isn't good but better than Sam.  CMC stays healthy.  We stumble into 7-8 wins.  Which is another losing record.  Rhule basically looks like the same guy we saw the first two years.  But we win more games. 

What do you do? 

Its another wasted year.

 

And you know this is exactly whats going to happen.

it's a wasted year.  But it would be a dangerous one....in regards to what the Panthers would do w/ Rhule and Baker after a 7 win season .

So if Baker were so desired and cheap why didnt any of those teams make a play for him?

Not sure who said baker is "desired" and Im not sure why you are bringing Baker into the point I was making about how hard it is for an NFL franchise to find a franchise QB. 

If you are honestly curious about why those teams didnt make a play for Baker, Im the wrong person to ask. Maybe jump into other team forums and ask their fans....

Looked up his OC history in Cleveland...

Mayfield started out with Todd Haley under Hue Jackson with Ken Zampese as his QB Coach. That's a mix of Coryell and E-P influences. Didn't last long of course since Jackson and Haley were fired midseason. Freddie Kitchens took over on the offensive side and did well enough that he got promoted to head coach.

Kitchens installed Todd Monken as OC and Ryan Lindley (the guy you might remember as the hapless opposing QB from our playoff game against the Cardinals a few years back) as his QB Coach. You probably remember how that went.

(Side Note: Panthers OL Coach James Campen held the title of Assistant Head Coach on this team)

Things stabilized somewhat the following year with the hire of Kevin Stefanski and the installation of Alex Van Pelt as OC. To my knowledge, Van Pelt is primarily an E-P guy.

Overall, it doesn't sound like Mayfield has had a lot of WCO influences so it'll be interesting to see how this plays out.

In my mind anything less than 10 wins this year and Rhule needs to be fired. No in between.

Lots of RPOs would be a nice system for Corral to develop into behind Baker.

That's what worked on and off in Cleveland. When defenses forced him into traditional drop back situations his qb rating was like 70, as high as 130 when running RPOs

The same applies to Corral.  He was 94th in the draft. He was the 4th QB taken in a draft class where many people, including huddlers said, was a weak QB class. 

He was selected by the same "idiot" brain trust.

It seems really expensive what they’ve done to create their QB room. I can’t recall any other team doing this unless someone can lay out another example. 
(amount of $ spent and draft picks traded away to bring in QBs)

That's a pop fly man.

The 49ers traded three 1st round picks and a 3rd round pick for Trey Lance and paid JimmyG around $26 million last year.  They also gave up a 2nd round pick for JimmyG when he was acquired.  Pretty steep.

Good article, with my favorite line being a quote from Steve Smith:

 “He wears his emotions on his sleeve. I do, too. I was an emotional player. But the difference between Baker and I is one, I won the triple crown — I led the league in something besides crying.” 

Ouch 😬

Smitty has since changed his tune, of course...

McAdoo was in the room. I trust him more than anybody in that room. They're Busch league.

Because he sucks, he is only a marginal upgrade from Sam if at all. He was the weak link on a team with a top 5 OL and a top 10 D. 

I expect him to have around 18 tds and 12-14 ints if he starts the full season.

Former Eagles team President Joe Banner believes the Panthers should have gone ahead and signed Mayfield to a one-year extension.

I'd guess the Darnold experience probably prevented that from happening.

    • Have you seen the mock drafts lately?   Most of them have us taking a QB. Just because you aren't high on these QBs doesn't mean the Panthers or other teams aren't.   If you want me to be real I just think you a Tmac homer and all you care about is us drafting him. It's why you get so defensive when people mention other prospects.   Be open to other people's ideas. Nobody in this thread is saying anything bad about your boy Tmac. 
    • Oh good lord Interest doesn't mean interest in making a bad trade to take the player, that's why I had such a long post, to accurately describe why those are two different things, but you don't like to listen to that stuff.  Being interested in a player doesn't live in a vacuum. It's very simple... there isn't a #1 draft pick type of grade on any of these QB's, if there was, we'd just take them.  You can't bluff a pick everyone knows you won't make, and trying to trade the pick is the CLEAR signal that you're not taking the QB. Just because the Raiders would have interest, doesn't mean they're going to bail us out of a situation we don't want to be in, they'd be smart about it and just sit put, let us take a non QB as we'd be telling the world we're not taking one just by trying to trade the pick, and then they'd take him at #2 (either with their own pick or by trading less to get that one). Oh, and your point of "if nobody is willing to make the trade, you obviously just take the best QB" is quite literally the dumbest thing I've ever read on here. If nobody is willing to trade up to take the QB, then it's OBVIOUS that the QB isn't worth taking with that pick, so OBVIOUSLY taking the best QB there is just OBVIOUSLY stupid and a bad pick. The moral of it is if there is a QB worth taking, we're taking them and not making the trade.  If there isn't a QB worth taking there, nobody is trading up to #1 to take one, we just showed the NFL how bad of an idea that is 2 years ago, it's really not hard to see. You keep making up this mythical situation where there is a QB who has shown to be worth trading up to #1 for and we'll be able to leverage that into a trade.  But we're the most QB needy team in the league, if we end up with the #1 pick, either we are taking a QB #1 or no QB is going #1 unless we get VERY lucky and two teams in the Top 5 fall in love with one prospect and we can play them off each other and fleece one of them. But again, I can't see that happening, as if there was a QB worthy of that, we're just taking him ourselves.
    • Sanders is with Tom Brady brand and that's his mentor. The Raiders owner was with Sanders taking pics at a Vegas game together.   It doesn't take much to connect the dots that Vegas will be interested in Sanders as their franchise QB. Oh yeah and guess who hasa small ownership stake in the Raiders Tom Brady.   I guess this is just another made up Madden idea by me huh?
