Bro lol I’m at a loss for words lol this season is funny for many and all the wrong reasons.
 

We scoured the deepest depths of the earth for QBs, didnt land any of the ones we truly wanted... drafted one, got Baker.. who has arguably been more ass than Darnold.. then at some point all of our quarterbacks get hurt lol except the one who was on the Practice Squad.. who just might have the opportunity to get hurt this week against the Bucs.

I mean its either Eason or Darnold. Id assume its going to be Eason at 1 and Darnold at 2 on Sunday. 

No, it will be PJ and Eason this Sunday.  The order is irrelevant. 

Whatever is ailing Baker will either be resolved by Sunday or it will be a mad dash to get Sam ready by the Sunday after. Baker may be the next trade if we're not careful.

Torn ligament ain't getting healed by Sunday.

if you listened to the presser... doesnt sound like PJ is getting near the field Sunday. At least Wilks deflectio and tone gave you no confidence in an active PJ this weekend

I just don't understand how they can start PJ after this past week.  That's the gameplan when he's the starter?  Not throwing the ball at all?  Might as well roll the dice on some waiver wire guy with a subset of the plays available.

I don't think he will.

Hell, Wilks isn't even commiting to Mayfield.

No joke, you would be better off running the actual wildcat.  I mean, the actual wildcat (not just a direct snap to the RB).  That's a better gameplan than the one they ran out there Sunday.

Sorry to say. But Baker just may have played his last Panther game. Ligament tears take time. Eason may take over this O and...not suck? I liked what little we got of him yesterday. Except that last throw anyway.

 

Baker is hurt and played poorly. Not sure we could get much out that.

    • You joke, but it can always be worse. He might walk with a limp or need assistance. Different sport, but Lonzo Ball couldn't even walk up steps a year after his injury.
    • I mean... a lot of the information that could've helped set better expectations has always been out there: There was no RB on the team under contract for the 2025 - 2026 season except for Miles Sanders. The team did not have a second round pick going into the 2025 season due to the trade for Young. Chuba's extension did not happen until the beginning of November. Jonathon Brooks was the clear RB1 in the class with a massive gap between RB1 & RB2. Example: Dane Brugler had Brooks as RB1, overall #48; Blake Corum was RB2, #81 overall. The Giants held pick #47 and had just lost Saquon Barkley to the Eagles in free agency. They were going to take Brooks had the Panthers not jumped in front of them. So if we're framing things with that context: Chuba was expected to be RB1 Miles (at the time) was RB2 Brooks was essentially RB3, stashed for rehab in 2024 with a long runway. The original injury occurred Nov 2023 while the re-injury occurred December 2024. That is right in the high-risk window for recurrence, especially in explosive athletes. The fact that it also happened on a non-contact play suggests possible biomechanical issues such as muscle imbalance, rather than a failed surgery (or bad decision-making).   NFL teams invest heavily in medically vetting prospects. If there had been a clear red flag in imaging or recovery markers, the team is going to find it. This sucks and the Panthers have sucked, yes, but this wasn't blind optimism or malpractice by the front office. It was a calculated decision based on the roster, draft capital, positional scarcity, etc.
    • Yep, but they can all rotate with Brown, Brown and Robinson (sounds like a law firm). Can't continue to have Derrick Brown out there for 90+ percent of the defensive snaps. An injury was bound to happen.
