I've said this before about PJ.  He's got a active arm but couldn't hit a bull in the butt with a banjo.  His accuracy is poor.  Throwing downfield with PJ is like throwing a punt.   

Eason at least looks the part.  He did ok until his Int.  I feel bad for the guy because he really gave us a small spark until the Int.   I would ride with Eason this weekend.  He can't be any worse than PJ. 

He averaged almost 70% completion in his prior 2 starts.  PJ sucking as a QB doesn't actually excuse what our staff did on Sunday.  It has been proven here and other teams have proven you can scheme up some basics for virtually every QB that doesn't belong on the field. 

There are things PJ can't do.  There are things he can.  They simply opted to not do what he could.

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.

I was doing cardio and rolled my ankle in a pothole. My ankle started swelling immediately and the whole bottom of my foot was purple. It took me 2 weeks just to be able to walk on that foot again and months before I felt I could jog again and it still gives me trouble. Now I don't have a state of the art medical staff nor did I go to the hospital, but you are correct that it is a lingering injury.

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.

Just snap it to #22, screw the middle man

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. 

I can’t imagine anyone wanting to give him a shot after seeing him play his 5 games here.

How hard is it to get a QB in here that can throw downfield? Like surely some of these college guys who went undrafted but put up crazy stats can throw the damn ball down field. At this point the Panthers should be bad, but exciting. Not bad and also horrendously boring

I'll say this much. At one point in the 2010 season, we started a guy named Brian St. Pierre. The guy had, up to that point in his career, had thrown 5 passes total in 7 years. To no surprise, he played as expected for someone that barely saw any action. But they still allowed St Pierre to throw deep and, my god, for one moment, there was actual hope.

That said, he then threw two pick-sixes but you know what? It didn't really matter because to this day, I still remember that touchdown throw. What was there to remember from Sunday's game?

It's not a matter of want to. It's a matter of who's healthy. Who sucks the most seems to vary week to week. At this point it doesn't matter to me.

    • I'm not a Bryce hater and I would 100% move on.  Especially looking at how the upcoming qb draft looks on paper.  Hopefully he continues to improve but if in 3 seasons you're still chasing average season numbers then he's not going to be the guy.  You've just got to keep taking swings until you hit.  Average qbs without any elite physical traits cant get it done anymore.  So this year Hopefully he continues to develop and is above average statistically.
    • Meltdowns???? He was pulled by Canales because he wasn't executing the game plan after 2 games into the season so he could watch Dalton execute the offense and show Bryce the windows available in the NFL, how to push the ball down the field and how to step up and move around when blitzed. When Young came back 5 games later he clearly watched and improved. Enough he was named the future starter. He doesn't have a history of  meltdowns nor is there any reason to assume he will have one. From what I have read he is mentally strong and emotional stable. He may have bad games down the road, everyone does. But this is all a learning experience for him and so far he seems to be making progress. I can understand being hesitant on anything Panthers, but Young has surprisingly been able to gain his confidence after a disastrous start. You aren't alone in being cautious but I think he is the future. I thought he was too small and too short to succeed in the NFL. Honestly I was pleasantly surprised last year and am optimistic about the offense for the first time since Wilks and Dalton were decent.
    • The Rams wanted to trade up for Williams who they ended up within the end. They even told him that when they called him to let him know he is the pick. The other teams are only an assumption. Like the Cowboys, who took a guard. The truth is the team wanted to trade down first and foremost but couldn't get an offer the were happy with. They took McMillan because they felt he was bpa at 8 plain and simple.
