We lost so many games in the third quarter 

 

3rd Quarter Passing, Career: 

Baker Mayfield: 
67.7%, 16 TD, 5 INT

Sam Darnold: 
57.7%, 11 TD, 17 INT

 

Thanks to @ellis for the stats 

 

 

 

 

You know what's huge?

Mayfields rating of 17 when trailing in the 4th quarter. 

The opposite of clutch.

but it was a cheap trade or something

You do realize that “above average” is a huge jump from Darnold? So yeah a $5 million dollar trade to go from worst in the NFL to above average at the most important position is a good trade.

Who gives a phuck about winning 8 or 10 games?

He's not a top 10 QB. It's a wasted move.

Why do people keep comparing him to Darnold? Please stop. The people who didn’t want to trade for Baker don’t think Darnold is better. NOBODY, thinks that. Congrats, Baker is better than the worst starting QB in the league last year. 
 

Most people like myself just don’t want to settle for mediocrity and don’t believe Baker is an elite QB. You need that elite QB to win the Super Bowl in today’s NFL. Just because Sam sucks doesn’t mean we should’ve traded for Baker.

What a terrible take. You don’t need a top 10 QB to win it all. See Nick Foles, Joe Flacco, Manning his final year, Eli Manning. What you can’t have is QB that is the very bottom of the league. We have had a top 10 QB once in our entire history and he wasn’t top 10 consistently. Delhomme got us to just as many Super Bowls as Cam did without being top 10.

We had a good chance to upgrade the position and make our team better for very cheap and made it happen. Smart teams do that and now we can build a competent offense to insert our next QB if Baker isn’t our guy. Better yet top FA QBs May actually consider Charlotte as a destination instead of bottom of the league team/offense.

We had Sam, PJ, and a 3rd round rookie who said himself he isn’t ready yet. So what would you option be aside from tanking this year and trying to get lucky in the next draft? 
Sam sucking and being our top option absolutely means we should have traded for Baker. Our staff’s job is to try to win as many games as possible and this trade helps them achieve that while Corral gets his feet wet.

Well I’d try and do the same thing the Chiefs, Chargers, Raiders, Packers, Bills, Ravens, Texans(DW4), Bengals, and the Cardinals did. The formula is out there.

In fairness, Peyton Manning was easily the worst QB in the NFL when he won his 2nd title. That isn't hyperbole.

Looking at the recent Super Bowl winners Rams, Bucs, Eagles, Chiefs, Broncos all established solid teams before acquiring their Super Bowl winning QBs. The Chiefs drafted theirs, but traded up to get him as they were already a playoff team with an average QB in Smith. Bucs and Rams had average to below average QB play and build solid teams around them before trading for or signing their guy. Eagles won as a team with a journeyman QB filling in for their drafted one. 
Even if he doesn’t win a Super Bowl, have a decent QB to run our offense and build up our team is a big next step from constantly drafting in the top 10. We become more attractive for vet QBs that may want to leave their team for whatever reason or we can trade up and get our rookie to insert in an offense that isn’t limp and dead. Corral could even be that guy. Rolling it back with Sam and PJ is just hoping for the draft to save us.

The Chiefs are the only recent Super Bowl winners out of those teams unless you are including Flacco’s Ravens win. The Chiefs had an average QB in Smith who could get them in the playoffs but not much further BEFORE they traded up to acquire a QB in which they let him sit fit a while behind Smith. So we very well could be attempting their formula (only they have Reid and we have Rhule… yuck).

      I believe I just read somewhere that the Rams don't do Top 30 Visits. I mean, it makes sense from the standpoint of trying to keep information close to the vest.

      Emanuel McNeil Warren + Jacob Rodriguez

      I'm not sure 19 is too high for Rodriguez anymore.  He looks to be moving up boards, but it could be smokescreens.

      Panthers WR Xavier Legette named potential trade candidate for 2026 offseason

      By MHS831 · Posted

      I see XL this way---great athlete.  Good person.  When we drafted him, we knew he was raw.  One year of WR in college (starting) and in HS, he was a QB, I believe. We knew we would need patience with him.  I think year 3 will be make or break.  He is older, and I think that people with his athletic ability have always been better than those with less---but those with less can become more successful.  Why is that?  in my view, it is mental. XL can learn the mechanics and nuances of playing WR if he becomes focused on it and works at it.  I had the opportunity to talk to Armanti Edwards one day after OTAs (great guy) and he discussed how overwhelming it was.  He seemed shocked.  At that time, I knew that Fox hated the pick (I heard him mock Armanti to another coach when he saw Edwards drop a punt from a jugs machine--then I saw Armanti look back at Fox as if to suggest that he was feeling the pressure to please the coach. We forget that these are kids in their early 20s.  At the time, Fox was a lame duck.  Remember when he had Clausen as the #3 QB and was forced to move him up the ladder?  I liked Fox, but I think the climate and culture was influenced by the politics.  Currently, I see another Wr from SC who is struggling, but he is ina  very nurturing, positive culture. Let's see what happens with XL.  I am frustrated too---but XL was a second round talent who was raw and we traded up to get him.  He had 500 yards as a rookie--lets call 2025 a sophomore slump and see if we can't get at least 50 yards per game out of him.  If not, cut bait.
