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.

      What do you grade this draft?

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      Just looking at this moment in time, rather than holding off until we see something for it, I'd have to give it a B+/A-. We added a lot of players and a lot of potential. We may have reached a bit with our first pick, but the simple move to make it at the end of the first round gave us a shot to make it last a bit longer if he really blossoms here. That was a pretty smart move and had a lot to do with Morgan and Beane's relationship I think.  Picking up an injured running back in the second sounds like a foolish move, but honestly, it's a solid gamble. We know what the floor would be on the pick, that he might never play at a professional level due to that injury. And honestly, that is the floor on any pick you make. The ceiling on the guy could potentially be immense. He was outstanding on a mighty fine team that was pass heavy and he doesn't have a lot of mileage. If that knee heals up completely (and we have a lot of experience with that in Carolina), he could be a massive steal and just what Bryce needs. There are a lot of people harping on our LB pick, but man, I always take it with a grain of salt when folks decry a player's "football intelligence." It's one of those criticisms that is easy to lodge against a young guy, but really hard to quantify. It might be nothing. His reputation for being a hard hitter and instinctual tackler are more important I think. He's going to have a good mentor in Shaq in the LB room and there's an institutional strength in our LB corps that could give him quite a boost. Our TE pick in the fourth may very well be the steal of the draft. I think we're going to see some serious production out of him. I'm hoping for something Olsen-like. He's definitely an upgrade to what we have now. And from there, well, the tea leaves get a little harder to read. I think Morgan did well with the trading and he cast a wide net for positions. We're going to have to see how it all shakes out, but just based on the three days of picks and the work that went into them, it was a good performance, better than I expected.

      The 5th year option wasn't even considered.  I don't care what Dan says. They traded up because they got wind someone was interested in Legette. Whether that interest was real or made up is unknown.
