For those worried about the future pick for Baker, I believe we are past the point where the higher pick would kick in. This is NFL Week 11 that we are heading into, and Baker only played the first 5 weeks. So with 7 games left even if he starts I don't believe he qualifies, I saw a breakdown that went into detail somewhere, but even still if he could the team would sit him if needed towards the end of the year. 

I'd anticipate a Sam Darnold start or two in the final weeks with the guise of ''to see what we have''. 

Baker can still reach the mark.  Based on the first 10 games of the year, our offense should have around 1020 snaps over the course of the year.  So far, Baker has played 315 snaps.  If he gets all the snaps the rest of the year he would end with about 750 snaps.  Just over the number required to hit the 4th/5th round mark.

I've done my best to estimate the snaps for the rest of the year. If Baker starts all remaining games and the team averaged 65 offensive snaps he is around 74%. Move 65 snaps to Sam or PJ and he is around 68%. So they need Sam or PJ to play one more full game to keep that 4th round pick.

Stop using Baker. I don't want to give up a 4th for him. Either way we are going to simply be crushed by the Ravens. They might not even throw a pass. Just run over Burns all day. 

I’m pretty sure this has passed or is very very close. He’s missed 4.5 games. No chance he hits the threshold

I would also rather start Sam. Honestly I think he is the better QB and with a good oline and running game I think he could thrive. 

With us, out of the top 3 in the draft, our best solution STILL is that Sam or Baker put it together and become a legit starter. 

If one of them does become that, than our top 8 pick suddenly becomes a lot more interesting. 

There's more truth to this than a lot of us want to admit.

Both of those guys deserve a chance to perform without Rhule here. Give them each three games to start before the end of the season.

      Dan had a great draft

      By outlaw4 · Posted

      If there's a pattern I'm definitely picking up from Dan and company is a philosophy of making trades where we try not to sacrifice the number of draft picks we have by day's end. In other words, we're not giving up three picks for one, or giving up a future pick to make a pick today. And even if we give up something at the start, we make trades later to make up for that initial loss. Here's how it stacked up for 2026: How we started: 19, 51, 83, 119, 158, 159, 200 How we ended: 19, 49, 83, 129, 144, 151, 227 (no future picks sacrificed) Ultimately, we moved up two spots in the second to ensure we got someone we coveted, gave up a few spots for our fourth round pick, but then had better picks in the 5th (and got really good value out of them), and had a worse 7th rounder which isn't that big of a loss anyways.  At this point, we can question who they draft, but they're pretty good maneuvering across the draft board.

      2026 Mock Drafts

      By 45catfan · Posted

      I just saw the funniest thing...or very disappointing, depending how you handle misery. A guy on YouTube did a 2027 'way too early' mock draft.  If I told you the simulator has the Panthers selecting in the top 10 , what would you say?  If I told you it was pick #8 and only two QBs were taken in the top 7, what would you say?  If I told you this dude had us taking a defensive player, what would you say?

      A look at the team after the draft and udfa signings...

      It is due diligence at that point. Irresponsible not to take him.  Crossing my fingers on this one, he has everything you look for except experience.
