Dont understand the Baker hate. I just heard what he said on the radio and it was very respectable. Dont know why we are shitting on him here. He just wanted to know what direction the team was taking. Some people just search for reasons to hate on someone due to personal bias. Cam went through this.

Like I've said here already Baker was an unfortunate casualty of the insane mind of Matt Rhule who couldn't resist another wayward QB.

I wish him all the best. He is a Panther now so we here should show some respect because he's worn our uniform. I do think PJ who has been a Panther for some time now, is a better player at this point. The distance between their level of play is astounding. With PJ all of a sudden this team looks like it can compete for the division, especially the way the defense continues to play.

I wonder what roster move they're going to pull when Sam has to come off that 21 day deadline. PJ would have been the obvious choice to get cut and sent to practice squad a month ago. 11 days left to make a decision I think

Maybe I missed it but is Eason still part of the 53?  If so it would be him

I don’t hate him.  In fact I think he stands a good chance of playing better based on what we saw from PJ and the offense last week.  Based on what we saw I think all bad opinions regarding players I developed under the Rhule regime could be ill conceived. That said, I would rather roll with PJ until he shows us why we can’t.

Don't scare me like that.

Some of ya'll need a Snickers. Even after being relegated to 3rd string, he wants the team to win.  Not sure what else ya'll want from the guy.

He is saying the right things...except for the thing in the headline.  After his performance I am not sure he had the right to ask.

Why are we shitting on Baker? Dude has been a standup guy the entire time he's been here. Sure he struggled, mostly with the batted balls and having Matt Rhule as his head coach, but he's been the perfect teammate as far as we can tell. Flat out said "of course I want to play but PJ is hot, so I'm helping us win by supporting him however I can and running scout team". That's big considering he's a first round pick who has only been a starter.

 

Asking the GM if we're committed to winning after trading your most prized weapon? That's a team leader move imo. If Burns or Shaq or DJ did this, nobody would bat an eye or they'd be happy that a team leader feels this way. But because it's Baker it's a bad thing? Idk.

 It's the same poo as Russel Wilson catching flak in Denver. Dude is clowned on constantly for being "fake and not genuine" when no one knows how he acts behind closed doors. He was recently clowned on for working out on an airplane lmao.  Yet everyone loves Marshawn Lynch even after he was caught driving drunk with his tires literally off his vehicle. Weird World we live in.

As for PJ, dude looked like trash under Rhule. I'll give Mayfield the benefit of the doubt until I see him play under Wilks before I start slinging poo at him. The team seems way more ignited and competitive since Rhule has been fired.

      The Ringer NFC Offseason podcast

      By frankw · Posted

      The division is most certainly wide open. The Bucs are a problem but Baker Mayfield is and will remain his own worst enemy it's a matter of when not if he has a bad game or even a stretch of bad games. As far as the Panthers they have done an admirable job of trying to address needs as best they can without pulling a Scott Fitterer and getting desperate which has only made us worse off in the past. On the Bryce subject all anyone can really say at this point is we just have to wait and see. This is the year and despite what the Panthers may say publicly doubling down and going all in on WR is as good as any sign anyone should need that they expect Bryce Young to have a very productive and convincing season. The pieces are in place. They aren't perfect but nothing ever will be. Regardless there's honestly no excuse for this staff and this team not to be able to compete in this iteration of the NFC South. Also just want to say this because I can say the hyper defensive posts already being made in here and it's probably going to be a season with highs and lows again but hopefully more highs for sure. But just because there is dialogue about a position group or a player that challenges your preconceived notions or makes you uncomfortable does not make it "hate" or "anti" this player or that player. For some people who talk a lot about nuance you would think this wouldn't need to be stated but that's where we're at.

      We joke about how the NFL has a script for the season. But maybe it's not a joke?

      If I was a coach I would preach "Don't let the refs decide the game" because as soon as you let the NFL the chance to help their bottom dollar whether it be teams that make most money or gambling then they will screw the team that doesn't fit their bottom line......is it rigged? No but do they try and make certain narratives happen abso-freakin-lutley. As I stated in a previous thread NFL players are the ones that SHOULD have all guaranteed contracts but the boot lickers on this forum disagree and argue for the billionaires in this world who own these teams, sheep

      I wont go quite so far as to say games are rigged.  You wouldnt have to work hard to convince me there was the occasional thumb on the scale but outright rigged? nah.   but collusion on the rest of the "business" of football, sure.  No one really believes that the only time the 32 owners act as one is during the negotiations of the CBA do they?
