I thought Sam looked fine for where he is (former top 5 pick, awful past team/coaching, with the panthers for just over a year). I still think he has potential.

Baker was largely bad, but I attribute that to being so new with the Panthers and having so much catch up to do. He obviously oozes with escapability, gamebreaker talent and a live arm, but his decision making needs a lot of work. 
 

Didn’t see enough of Matt to get a read. His ball flies with zip like Darnold/Mayfield’s.

PJ definitely had the best day. Had the least reps, but the most successful outcomes. 

 

I was about to say how did Corral do in your opinion? I just cant really tell. Would be nice if he could be the future and we don't have to draft one again next year, or god forbid another retread.

how bout a big Huddle thank you to @falconlynx for all the updates!  And everyone else who helped.  I'm really busy today but having a chance to see all the action in my downtime has been a blessing.  So good to have football back.

Thank you Captain Morgan. Hadn’t done this for us before, but it was quite fun. 
 

Will be at Fanfest as well, but I’ll likely be more engaged with the family that night.

Devils advocate: What if it’s because he’s actually playing to his potential and he legit beats out Baker/Matt and doesn’t crumble after 4 weeks like last year? 

Sam is doing exactly what he did last camp.  Checking down.   Playing it safe.   We saw what that lead to in season…..the worst season of his career. 

Sam isn’t a NFL QB.

4 years of tape (actually more if you count college) say you have a better chance of winning the mega millions tonight

 

If Baker loses to mayfield for the job then we are in a real world of poo

Yeah, just not enough sample size.

Crazy how few reps Matt and PJ get compared to the first two.

I bet our best chance to see Matt is going to be late in preseason games. I’d love to see him get a shot with the starters….

Once again people need to chill. Yesterday seemed like a practice was about getting the arm loose and making throws. Today the defense came out and gave them the clamp. This is normal and part of the process. All QBs shrugged and that was the point. They have to get use to the pressure. 

[ForJimmy]

I think they are hoping Corral can get up to speed enough to get with the 2s and become the backup. Then they can ditch Sam and get him off the roster.

There just isn't anything in his football career that indicates that scenario being likely. 

He just is what he is.

I think it’s also important for CMC that he has a QB that can stretch the field.

For starters, it will open up more room for him underneath but also not getting hit 20 times a week should do wonders for his body.

Indirectly, Sam could end CMC’s career if he doesn’t learn to spread the ball around.

I’m still not sold on Mayfield yet but the fact that he isn’t keying in on CMC or another back or tight end every snap is nice.

If baker loses to mayfield we have much bigger questions going into this season!

Nothing wrong with viewing things with Panthers tinted shades sometimes but this is maybe you should talk to a therapist levels of delusion. The Jets and their fans already accepted who he is. To look at that and not only say "yeah I'll take more" but go on to say "yeah he could be the guy of the future" is honestly insanity.

[Wolfcop]

Reality is, Mayfield is still brand new to this offense, including the players, coaches, and playbook. He will get more comfortable as camp goes along. He still has nearly a month and a half to get ready for Game 1. He will be the starter.
