We should play him out the rest of the season.  We know what PJ can do and, well, I'm not as high on Baker as I was in the beginning.  Don't let Baker play anymore so he won't hit the 70% mark.

Let them compete. If the QB can't keep the job by their play then they shouldn't get another week until their next turn. Baker was a dud so next up, which is Sam. 

The truth is we know what all of them are at this point in their careers and it's auditioning for a backup roll  so being able to come off the bench is more valuable than hoping there is some hidden reservoir left to squeeze out of any of them. 

Baker shouldn't get close to the 70% mark with how he is playing.

As for snap counts, Mayfield has a tick under 58.25%, Walker about 40.7%, with the rest going to Eason.

The Panthers have run 639 offensive plays thus far, Mayfield has taken 372 of those snaps. 

That gives us an average of just over 58 offensive snaps per game.  If we continue at that rate (and while it is low for the league, is has been pretty consistent), that would give us 988 snaps for the year.  Mayfield would have to get to 692 to hit 70%.  He'd have to have 5 more games at about the league average of plays to hit that mark, or take all the snaps in 5-1/2 games at our average.

Long story short, one more game on the bench should pretty much end the discussion.  Two, if we want to be safe.  Six, if we are going by what he has done when on the field.

I’ve seen enough of McAdoo, who’s hands touch all these bastards. 

McAdoo was the best OC the Rhule regime could recruit. And if that's not the most damning indictment of the waning days of the Rhule tenure, I don't know what is.

He'll be gone next year, and we'll be able to attract someone much more competent now that Rhule is gone and Tepper has been humbled.

I hope so.

      Week 12: Other NFL Games

      Plus he was in the era in which Safety, LBs, and CBs could de-cleat WRs/TEs on crossing routes. He was beyond tough too. Plus those numbers his 4.66 40 time etc....... GameDay with 15 LBs of pads/clothes/tape, he was the fastest guy on the field. In fact I never recall at any point Rice being ran down or "hawked" from behind by any player. He was a gamer and clutch, just like lex Lugar the total package.

      Not all talent can be measured with a ruler and stopwatch. His hands, body control, and skills were ELITE.

      He did have talent, but if you look at his combine/workout numbers...they are not eye popping like many of the combine freaks are. All the best have talent, smarts, and work ethic. What he was able to do in his 40s, he holds all the records after 40. He had two 1k seasons at 39 and 40, no other WR has 1k after 36. He came back from a ACL tear within 9 months after he turned 35 years old. You know this is the era where ACl was a career derail-er and it took most mortal men took a full 12 months and they were never the same. Only two other players have made catches at that age (40) and neither one was a wide receiver. LOL at Tom being one of them....   I also read or heard, he would have still played if not for ST. He was going to play for the broncos in 2006, I think he would have been 44???, he earned a spot as the #4-6 but the numbers game of having WRs play ST ended his career. He could still get open and play, just no sense in having the GOAT run head first into a wedge on KO duties.....
