Remember, we only lose that conditional 5th rounder if Baker plays over 70% snaps this year..

I think he gets two more games. I doubt they trot Darnold out there right off the injury. 
 

Mayfield is gonna get abused by these next two defense and then is gonna turn the reins over to Darnold. 
 

What a colossal disaster. 

Probably. And then Darnold comes in and the results will look pretty much the same except with more fumbles.

If Sam is starting again we are competing for the 1st overall pick. We should start looking to pick up draft capital now. Trade Baker and play PJ while making Sam hold the clipboard. IDGAF about any of them, it is time to do what is best for the next crew.

Let's be honest though. It's very obvious now why the Browns had to eat most of his salary just to move him for a conditional 5th round pick. That's almost certainly what the Jets would've had to do with Darnold too if we weren't so dumb and desperate.

The Jets didn't have to trade Darnold - they hadn't activated the last year of his contract with the guaranteed money.

 

I'm sure they'd have been as happy with him sitting on the bench backing up Wilson if it came to it.

Wait, I thought Fitt stole Baker from the browns

😂😂😂

In hindsight I still think that was a good trade at the time. Especially knowing they'd normally give up a 2nd, and two 3rds for nothing.  I guess they're just lucky they'd traded too much for Darnold already.

I have to ask myself if every last one of our QB's the past few years are that terrible or is the coaching just this pathetic? Yes all our QB's past few seasons have struggled but I feel like coaching is playing a huge part in it also. Oke of these guys we have had the past few seasons is going to go somewhere else and maybe not be a hall of fame player but they will establish themselves as a good solid player and we are going to be scratching our heads wondering why they didn't show that here. My only answer will be that our coaching was just that bad I guess...?

    • Many Panthers fans are already excited about second-round selection Nic Scourton for a variety of reasons including but not limited to: the Panthers needed to recharge the position group, Scourton had a late first-round grade according to many (including the Panthers), and he fit this season's modus operandi of stopping the run now and forever. However, Scourton was seen early on as one of the top-3 EDGE guys in this class but fell due to not having quite the season at Texas A&M as he did prior at Purdue (his sophomore season). It's been revealed since then a few different things that speak to that dip in production... Texas A&M, for one, requires each player on their line to be able to hold two gaps. This also explains why we saw low production across the board from the other two TA&M prospects but were still being heavily touted. Scourton was also said to have bulked up to 280lbs in order to fulfill this role and noticeably suffered from it. He's expected to play this season with Carolina at 255 - 260 which is very different from most situations. In most situations, teams are wanting players to gain 15 - 30. Since Scourton is going to be playing at his Purdue weight, I thought it would make sense to dive more into that tape. Y'all... we might have gotten something special... Let's take a quick peek at the stats before we start drooling over some highlights. First, a summary of the last two seasons for Scourton: Second, the game splits: The first thing that pops up for me is how Scourton's sack numbers were cut in half his senior year. We've already pointed out issues with scheme that impacted the TA&M linemen from racking up numbers, but seeing the game splits it's clear that Scourton didn't exactly feast on inferior competition while at Purdue. He had two two-sack games (vs. Michigan (2023 - 2024 champs), Indiana) and a 10-tackle game (vs. Nebraska). I also see the 2024 games where he went up against two top-10 tackles (Will Campbell from LSU + Armand Membou from Missouri) that I watched leading up to the draft.  For those who just want a summary: Scourton looked elite at Purdue and is going to be rotating in often during his rookie campaign. I originally had him penciled in as the second-string, strong-side edge defender behind Clowney but I wouldn't be surprised to see the team have him and Pat Jones II moving around when they rotate in in order to find where Nic looks best. Here's a highlight reel to replace that Cialias you lost in your recliner tonight:   For those that like to use their own eyes: Below I'll be linking the linking the five games I've mentioned above. If you plan to watch all of them, I highly recommend going in the order listed as that will allow you to see him vs. Campbell and then Membou while dealing with the aforementioned things he dealt with at Texas A&M before seeing him look unstoppable in 2023 when he was allowed to play both at a comfortable weight and in a scheme that didn't require him two cover two gaps nearly every play. vs. Will Campbell (2024) vs. Armand Membou (2024) vs. Nebraska (2023) vs. Michigan (2023)   vs. Indiana (2023)  
    • Yea, i honestly think he had almost as much say as Dan.  One of the main reasons I think that is Eager has said before he was ever with the Panthers, that you trade away picks for a qb and for any other position you do pick swaps, and that's exactly what we did.
    • For a LB that is a long career.  They take a beating.  Shoulders and head.  My favorite LB of All Time--Junior Seau--had a 20-year career--the average career for a STARTING MLB is 5.6 years.  I really think Shaq is done, but if he can play, it does not mean that he should.   Think about Morgan's career--7 seasons.  Luke's career--8 seasons.  Beason played only 93 games over 10 years--only 5 seasons where he played 15 games or more.  The other 5 seasons?  No more than 5 games per.  So basically, the average starting MLB plays 90 games in his career.  Shaq has played 123 games and was pretty injury free until the last 2 seasons (6 games total).
