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.

      Ranked Panthers as the Best this year!!

      By frankw · Posted

      If you're looking for a pat on the back it sounds good in theory until you realize they also had the 2023 Panthers as the top draft class.

      Carolina Still Not Respected

      Going into the 2003 and 2015 seasons we were supposed to be the joke of the league each time. In 2003, John Fox was supposed to still be in rebuild mode. We had a guy named Peppers on the defensive line who was supposed to be pretty good. We had Rodney Peete as our starting QB and a line that was a lot of hope and not much experience. Our new running back was a guy the Redskins, errrr Commanders, had jettisoned for being too old. We had a good kicker and writers thought that was needed because there were going to be more field goals than touch downs. Heck, it looked like they were right up until just before halftime of that first game when we had to yank Rodney Peete and put in some Cajun duded whose name couldn't be pronounced. And Steve Smith? He wasn't Smitty yet. Moose Muhammad, well, he was close to being written off as a bust. You know how that turned out. And then in 2015, we had Cam Newton, who was electrifying to watch but hadn't really won anything yet. There was an offensive line in front of him that looked like it was made in a defunct Swiss cheese factory and our big hope on offense was the great Kelvin Benjamin. And then he got taken out for the year with a knee injury in training camp. Ted "Feet of Lightning, Hands of Stone" Ginn became our default go to guy beside our next best hope, yeah, Devin Funchess. Our defense was pretty good, a scrappy bunch with frikkin' awesome linebacker play and a cornerback who had done more than drank the Kool-Aid, but had snorted the powder. He played like a superhero and became sort of a bat-man during the season. By the Super Bowl he had completely lost his freaking mind, though, and managed to talk his way out of a contract with the team next year. No one was expecting us to win the NFCSouth that season, much less almost go undefeated and into the Super Bowl. So, 2026? Who knows? But our best seasons came when no one had a reason to believe in us, except us.
