Where is the "drooling"? You're imagining stuff. Simply saying Baker looks significantly better after barely over a day in L.A. isn't drooling, it's just acknowledging reality.

I mean Baker had a stat line of like 18-30 155 yards and 3 points at the time you commented about how jealous you are of how LA’s coaches are using him. That kinda QB play has basically been our norm for the past 3 years lol.

But damn okay Baker earned his accolades on that last drive. I guess y’all really manifested some kind of self-fulfilling prophecy…props.

I really wanted to see this Baker in Carolina. Like, a lot.

This just shows once again how bad Rhule was. He was here for 2.5 years, but he set the team back a decade. 

 

But let me just say this, possibly the hottest of takes:

This could be Darnold. He played for Gase and Rhule. That's it. For all we know, with a competent coach and an OC who can scheme for our QB, it's possible the answer is on the roster.

If that seems improbable, remember Baker has the worst QBR in football with the Panthers. He was 1-5. We were debating in this very forum if he was as bad as pickles; if he was our worst QB ever.

With 2 days on a staff with an actual NFL coach, he learns an offense well enough to lead a 95 yard game winning drive.

Honestly, when it comes to evaluating QBs, throw our EVERYTHING you have seen in the Matt Rhule era. We truly don't know the potential of what we have.

Scoreboard aside, it was blatantly obvious Mayfield was looking better than he ever did here.

I do think tonight has to be an indictment on McAdoo which ultimately goes back to Matt Rhule. McAdoo better call the game of his life Sunday.

That being said, good for Baker. He made some incredible throws, especially on that last drive. He didn't make those throws here. And no one besides the Rams put in a waiver claim. None of the playoff teams, especially San Fran looked at his film this year (or last year) and thought he'd be an upgrade. 

I think tonight will still prove to be more anomaly than not, but it doesn't diminish how incredible it was, and it definitely puts him from being on the fringes of the league to absolutely being securely on a team next season and beyond.

      You're saying the same thing as I said.  Until Jordan becomes an active part of recruiting and funding, this school will continue to fall way behind.  But to say Michael Jordan or the Jordan brand doesn't matter anymore, which is what you said, is flat out wrong.

      Tony Pauline: Panthers will strongly consider Kenyon Sadiq if he’s there @19

      By Basbear · Posted

      I have not learnt my lesson and will always want Uber athletic profiles. Sorry, Im a whore about it.... Im not the right guy to defend Kenyon, I just have a understanding with this years draft, numbers, and panthers roster. He is more of "upside/project" and we are talking 19th pick here too.  I know about the years of all the mock drafts with TEs in them and I did want Pitts too.... Look I love the current TEs on the roster too, just this guy should be better than any of them at their best.  Right now I feel OT is the correct target, but panthers as a org are trying to win in 2026 than 2027. So tea leaves and all, Kenyon would help this year. You can even say flex him to slot for most of the snaps and think of tmac on smoke routes with Kenyon blocking for him. I just hate BY is the shooter..... warren, I would say he's the better prospect even without his rookie year, *but he was late bloomer like XL if Im right, plus age was 25ish?? Bears picked love above him, mainly cause of recs.  You can make a case that Kenyon is not a TE, but a moving weapon for offense that can be in the backfield, on the LOS, slot, and even X.... imean he's got XLs combine on some numbers.... He would be better to a offense mad scientist type...is that Dave? or is that bevell?? I think the Panthers should have him as a 19 pick, with others...

      That's one of the best power play games I've seen us have in a while.
