I said this back when it was first looking like Baker would be coming here and I got laughed out of the room. It's amazing how perspectives have changed in the short time since.

Hope it all works out great.

The amount of Baker hate was pretty comical considering we had a 3rd round QB from a bad QB class and Sam fuging Darnold.

Yeah, I'm not 100% on it either, but he has the best chance of anyone we've had under Rhule/end of Rivera. Unrelated to stats, he actually looks and acts like a star player too. Sam never had that demeanor about him. I remember an interview he had with Greg Olsen on the FOX pregame before week 1 last year. Sam seemed timid and not ready.

Sam has always seemed like he was a deer in the headlights, even off the field.

Brees was a Charger for two years if I remember correctly. Baker was a four year Brown. They had plenty of time to see if he was the next Brees or not.

Spoiler alert: ...

Yeah....they also had plenty of time to decide if Watson was a good idea....or , if OBJ was worth it. You can't use this argument when the Cleveland Browns are involved.

It was. People were raging over giving up a future 5th and taking on $5 million for our starting QB. I was baffled. We got him for so cheap with no long term attachments.

The sad part is that there was WAAAAAY less flak from the Darnold trade than the Baker trade.

I am starting to think Panther fans just literally have forgotten what skill at the QB position actually looks like.

The Sam trade had me skeptical.  I didn't like that 2nd rounder, but I was a little curious to see how he would do out of NYJ.  The Same EXTENSION was the stupidest poo I've seen.  I was all about drafting Fields and letting him compete with Sam/take over next season.

I thought the trade was completely foolish. He was a terrible player that showed very little potential. He lived up to that reputation.

The extension had me livid.

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

      By cranky · Posted

      Rico walking is no big deal. I'll take a healthy 2024 Hubbard over Rico any time and losing Mays is, again, no a big deal.  Young is signed for what, $35M for the next two years? Say he wants $50M but the FO doesn't. If they put the franchise tag on him, that would be around $55? So basically they are getting Young for the next 3 years for an average of $30M per year. Putting the franchise tag on him wouldn't be my first choice but it gives them an option that wouldn't be locking him into a long term, $50M contract. I'm not suggestion they do that. Just that the option will be there should they get to that point. Hunt is on a 5 year deal which is done in 28 so he either restructures or is gone anyway. Moton will be 35 by then and will either be gone or have diminished playing time. Neither of those players has anything to do with getting Young a contract. The O line is way overpaid anyway. Hopefully by the time they are gone, Freeling and Hecht will be developed and Ickey will be healthy. Young was benched his second year and only got his job back because Dalton was injured. Not sure how you can call that entitled. And I would NOT say putting a rookie QB on a team with no receivers, tight ends or O lineman and then being put with a coach who never wanted you and is fired mid season, is a definition of luck. As far as competition, no team is going to bring in competition for a QB picked first overall - especially given the capital that was given up to get him.
