I must say, the whole Sam/Baker splitting reps during TC is starting to make sense now.

Baker did legit beat him out in camp, playing against our own defense. Against teams that actually game plan I don't think either guy is going to be in a position to succeed. We'd have average dudes like Cousins/Carr etc looking just as bad

I have to disagree with you there. Granted the calls are not helping, the qb play is 75% of the disfunction with this offense.

I agree on the face value, but it's just too big of a trend under this staff for me. Baker never looked this bad, Sam somehow looked a little better with Jets

Would not surprise me if Rhule didn't start Baker sooner than he wanted to out of pressure from the fanbase more than anything.  It never made sense to me for them to get Baker in the first place.  He wasn't going to change the trajectory of this team this season. 

Baker with McAdoo's offense never made sense. Baker is exactly the type of QB you don't want.

I know we all said how it was all theatre and the QB “competition” was a joke, but IF by some 1 in a billion chance we start Sam and he looks good, maybe the whole QB competition wasn’t theater after all and the coaches knew something we didn’t?! 

Trash take. Don't give this staff credit they're clueless

    • I feel like this trade just lives rent free in people's heads and keeps morphing into different things. First thing is that the rumored trade was for future firsts. They wouldn't have any extra picks in 2023; the firsts would have been for 2024 and 2025. With very few exceptions, NFL GMs don't value picks that far away. You have to have a lot of job security to pull that off. Like Chiefs, Eagles, Rams kinda stability. That's obviously not the case with David Tepper, especially since he'd just fired his head coach. No GM except for like Howie Roseman is going to trade an asset you have now for a future asset you probably get to use.  Second, at the time you'd have to assume these are first rounders late in the first round. Obviously currency is currency and the panthers need young players, but these weren't slam dunk top ten picks. At the end of the day there's one pick that separates a first and second round pick.  Lastly, the only place that ever reported this trade was the Rams. All the reporters just repeated what McVay said and it became gospel. We have no idea how serious the negotiations were, if they ever really happened, if the offer was real, etc. And I personally believe McVay and Sneed are the kind of guys who would make up rumors like that to fug up other teams, mostly because I assume if I've thought of it someone smarter than me has.  I don't know how you'd call it the greatest draft haul of all time. Firsts quickly lose their value the farther out they are and Burns had 16.5 sacks last season. And anyway those picks would probably just been tossed into the burning inferno of the Bryce trade up so it's a moot point anyway.
