Only this franchise could have ruined him. Good on him. The Charlotte browns remain trash. Bryce young also looks bored in the pocket. Even stroud put up numbers today, he still a bust though. Wonder if we can get a first for burns at the deadline

I prefer Carolina Lions, but good enough.

Our Panthers could only wish to have a head coach like LaFleur. Trade away both your hall of fame QB and one of the league's most electric wide receivers and still be competitive in close games? I've seen so much nonsense as a Panthers fan I can't even imagine what that feels like. But our head coaching vacancy came down between two previously fired head coaches. It was always going to be this way.

The post Rodgers Packers beat a bad Chicago team and just lost to the same team we lost to. I’m not sold one way or the other on them yet.

This.  And we deserve it for ruining a generational talent like Cam.

We had Cam AND Luke and wasted both of them.

Hey now, we know they’re not going far at the end of the day and now there’s a strong possibility they’re out of the Caleb sweeps. Happy Baker can help.

LVR and AZ still look like prime QB destinations and bad teams. Luckily both in the AFC

Hasn't this always been the thing about Baker Mayfield?  He will shine for a few games, and look like a world beater, then come back down to Earth and take his place as one of the worst QBs in the league?  Seems to have been his M.O. most years of his career.

Pretty much.  That's the problem with QBs who make bad decisions: they can clean it up for a few games while they are thinking about it, but at some point they revert to making bad decisions.  Darnold looked pretty decent for us his first few games, too, but then he fell back into the same trap.

People are jumping to all sorts of conclusions based on almost two weekends of games.  History tells us not to get too attached to things until October comes into focus.  Every year there is a lot of pyrite in September.

I feel like a lot of people are flunking history right now

This. The NFL season really begins in Week 5.

Remember when we started 3-0 under Matt Rhule and thought we had fixed Sam Darnold? How'd that turn out?

That said, it wouldn't shock me if Baker ends up being good for them. Let's not forget he was the #1 overall pick; there IS talent there. But I feel pretty sure by the end of the year he'll revert to form.

It's possible.

It's wild that we never see folks say we wasted Steve Smith but they'll say we wasted Cam and Luke.

I saw an ad on YouTube TV promoting Hallmark channel’s Christmas movie marathon.

Given some of the posts I’ve seen, this may be a healthy alternative for some folks.

Baker is still ass. His lone TD yesterday was a prayer he put up to Evans in double coverage. We dont have a WR or TE that is going to pull in balls like that. 

It helps a ton when you have weapons, Their #2 Godwin is better than any WR we have had in years when healthy.

Didn’t we do this exact thread last year when baker won his first game with the rams?

I think so

Mind you, the original post in this case isn't exactly someone known for starting thoughtful, substantive threads.
