Beuerlein wasn’t that bad either from what I remember…

I fmy memoery serves me well,Beuerlein led the league in passing (well over 4 k) , QBR and was 2nd in the league in TD passes (to Kurt Warner League MVP) with 34 or so in 1999 or 2000. He made the Pro Bowl that year. 

I'd love to see Baker (or any Panther QB) throw for 4K+ yards and 35 TDS this year.

yea...thought thats what you meant...but may have overlooked your stance on Mayfield...what do you think about him?

I wasn't a huge fan of trading for him, but as someone else pointed out we basically got him for a bag of peanuts.

He's here now and I'm gonna support him and hope for the best.

That's as elongated as I've got for the moment. 

(insert "that's what she said" comment here)

I'm sure I'll have more to say about it later, though.

It is obviously early but so far folks who watched the press conference expecting Baker to trash Cleveland were disappointed. Baker said all the right things. Will it continue?? Let's see.  But going to a franchise where in your rookie year you produce more wins than in the past 3 years tends to give you a big head. I think that popped when he got ceremoniously cast aside for Watson.  I also think much of the bad teammate rhetoric which is being hammered by a few folks is actually countered by his teammates in college and the pros. Right now he is the expected starter unless Darnold can unseat him. He is in a contract year looking for his next contract. I expect him to be on his best behavior and be an excellent teammate. He has 10s of millions of reasons to do just that.

    • Either way there's some tough teams on the schedule this year, on paper anyways. 
    • Same. I would prefer a MNF game earlier in the season. As if more likely has some significance in case things go south this season. If we perform well enough we could even get another game forced to a Sunday night spot later in the season. 
    • Wanted to jump into this thread. Although I do not post anymore I do look in as there are a few old friends around. Loved hearing some of the names you mentioned.  Another  oldie is NanceUSMC.  He is the one who got me here from the old Observer forum.  Good guy and smart football guy. I have learned a lot from a lot of good Huddlers over the years, Over time. we have sadly lost a few who left this earth too soon.  Anyone who know of someone, it would be nice to try to make a list.  One of the more recent, CosmoGirl,  was someone that kind of hit hard.  Life sucks sometimes. Some of the best times were when we had our own tailgate and could meet up in person.  I think it made us better. Several dedicated volunteers, lead by LiverMush, started setting things up in the wee hours of each gameday morning.  Don't know all those regulars but I remember JakeFlake was one.  For you newbies...each game,  a Huddler (or a group) sponsored the food for each tailgate.  Eating was free but a donation was asked for.  At the end of the year those donations were used to buy bicycles for Toys for Tots.  Over the years Huddlers bought a lot of new bikes for kids for Christmas.  (I am guessing a couple of hundred each year.)  We had a good time getting together, got to make friends in person, and then got to feel like you were doing something good. It was truly a community. I got to meet Dan Morgan at one of our tailgates...he brought pizza from his restaurant.  How many of you remember that?  Glad the restaurant did not make it....lol. Not only have people changed, and come and gone.....but the entire nature and purpose has changed. Nothing lasts forever and we move on but we still like to think about good times. Same reason we take pictures. Want to ask a question I have not seen anyone else mention......who remembers    "The Couch" ?  We have argued, laughed, lived the ups and downs of football and dealt with a little real life along the way.  A thanks to  the Mods who keep this going.  I am sure they sacrifice a lot of their time out of love for the forum and the Panthers. Take care my friends and be well.  I will close with my new favorite quote which I think is greatly needed in these difficult times.
