Why would baker not be playing?  You'd think our first team needs some reps before cleveland. 

From what I’ve read they see the joint practices as much more important then the game, so essentially no need for the game. 
 

Got this from Panthers.com
 

“Now that the league has reduced the preseason to three games instead of four, do the coaches view joint practices almost as a preseason game? — Eric, Jacksonville, FL

No, they view them as a much better alternative to a preseason game.

A game is dictated by a lot of random factors you can't control. So when they were looking at quarterbacks last week in Washington, one had to start his drive deep in his own territory, the other in the red zone after a turnover.

In a practice, if you want to see them both get 12 snaps of red zone work, you can script 12 plays of red zone work. If you want to concentrate on a two-minute offense, you can build a schedule to provide for that.

Letting quarterbacks wear red jerseys, which means they can't be hit, is a bonus. That allows them to get that work without the same degree of danger.

In terms of getting ready to play regular season games, joint practices are better than preseason games in practically every way. It's not as good a television product, and people aren't as likely to tailgate and drink a bunch of beer before a 9:30 a.m. practice (or maybe they are, who am I to judge?). But as an actual tool of instruction and evaluation? Give me a joint practice every time.”

Apparently the two scrimmages are more important than the actual game itself so remember that when the Patriots are blitzing the fug outta Sam, P.J. and Matty

I dont like the reasons that CMC played against the Pats in practice.....but no PS games on his menu? Like did Bill tell Rhule the only way this happens is if CMC is juicing up his players for the week? Odd......

This is why the starters are done until week 1, as they should be.

Because aside from that one hit that led to a scuffle the players weren't supposed to take shots at players, just wrap up and then the refs whistle the play dead. Not saying I agree with it but they kinda treat him like he should be wearing a red QB jersey

Matt Rhule coddling Baker like he coddled Sam. Remember, no preseason games for Sam?

Spoiler: Same results

It will be mostly PJ.   Maybe Corral gets a half and they split it equal. 

 

Rhule lets PJ play entire game with the exception of final 2 minutes in the 4th Quarter when they decide to give Corral some playing time....el oh el

This 4 QB situation is one of the stupidest things in franchise history, I want off this wild ride. 
 

Preseason used to be fun to watch the 3rd and 4th stringers. It’s weird watching Darnold and Walker play when they have no point being on the team. I guess Rhule is truly just giving them NFL tape out of the goodness or his heart, and to the detriment of the team.

One of them is going to be the backup qb. I don't think it unwise to make sure they pick the right one. 

[Martin]

Here’s my guess. Baker is now the starter, so Darnold starts Q1, , PJ starts Q2 and Matt plays the second half. I hope I’m completely wrong on this (outside of the Baker official announcement) and Matt plays the first half and PJ second half.

[PNW_PantherMan]

Sam will get 2-3 series, PJ will play 3 and a half quarters, and Matt Corral will get the rest.
