I hope we have success with him for the foreseeable future but it’s just so hard to accept that it means Rhule stays in the picture. He’s just so out of his depth and it will be true even if we do well. Coach & QB means everything. I’d love for this version of the team to surprise. The NFC is wide open if Stafford’s injuries linger and TB can’t sustain.

It is possible for a coach to learn from his mistakes, adapt and improve over time. Was he completely overwhelmed and out of his depth the first 2 years? Absolutely. Does that mean he can never become a successful NFL head coach for us? No it does not. I’m actually optimistic from what we’ve seen from him and the team this year so far. Say we go 10-7, and make the wild card this year….would everyone killing him day in and day out admit that he’s getting better? Or nah?

Jesus you folks have gone off the deep end with this Baker projections.  The dude hasn't played his first game with the Panthers and he's now a HOF worthy qb.

I'm already sick of hearing about him and he has yet to suit up for us.

I know man, poo. God forbid the fan base get excited about the first legit QB we’ve had in like 5 years. Everybody should just be quiet and miserable until we draft and develop a first round QB and Rhule gets fired.

Drew Brees level is always running at close to 70% completion percentage. Please stop. He's way behind if he'd ever catch up to Brees. Baker has NEVER had a NFL career 67%+ average. Brees is other level.

The SEC isn't the NFL but maybe the next hardest but Matt Corral out up 72% and 69% completion percentage the last two seasons.

That was the closest you were going to get to Brees like accuracy in this locker room., but that guy didn't matter.

I was very critical of the Baker signing, but I now have one foot on the bandwagon. We already know that we’re screwed out of a top 2023 pick, so why not hope Baker pans out?

You’re comparing Baker’s current career to Brees’s full career. I compared Baker’s first 4 seasons vs Brees’s first 5. Baker has room for improvement 

He's nowhere near Brees level. Why are you so happy about leftovers?

Wasn’t Brees the “leftover” from the Chargers? He was just simply stating they had a similar first 4 years if you look at the stats and then both went to another team. Their style/demeanor is way different and Brees went to Peyton’s Saints vs Rhule’s Panthers. Pretty big difference…

He can improve for sure and I’ll support him if he does. I’m not of the opinion he’s this unchangeable coach but he is who he is to a certain degree.

I will not forget how over the moon and back many current anti-Rhule were after we went 3-0 last year and they changed in the other direction. People who supported him lost hope but it doesn’t mean hope doesn’t exist.

Winning cures all. Hoping for the best outcome—he becomes a great coach and Baker balls out. But as things stand from my perspective, he is currently and still not an legit coach. I’d prefer not to wait on that in what is year 3 but I’m not just all off the rails against him.

I don’t mind him, but Baker has a long way to go and even if he gets there, the odds of him maintaining it for 15+ years is astronomically low.

But he already has steps 1 & 2 down…

How to be Drew Brees

1.) Be short

2.) Make cringey *** commercials

3.) ???

4.) Profit!

      Report: Panthers great Luke Kuechly being eyed for big TV job

      So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
