The Bucs are so much better than their record, and down Godwin/Evans. Baker is absolutely balling out this year

Some of the plays he made on that last drive to tie up the game were ridiculous 

Probably the best of his career. He’s been really damn good this year

I’ve always been a Baker fan. Might not win a Super Bowl with him but he can be a good QB if he’s not placed in a circus (Cleveland/Carolina)

People made way too much of Baker not being a good QB. He was a good QB in Cleveland for a while and in difficult conditions. He was never NOT going to be a starting caliber NFL QB.

I am not surprised by how he is doing there because he has shown he can do this before.

Panthers fans only see our disaster and assume it's the player that is at fault.

Baker is playing well, but their team overall is very inconsistent.  Wins over Detroit and Washington, very bad home losses to Denver and Atlanta.  But they have had a rough schedule.  They are fortunate that five of their last six games are against teams with losing records.  But losing twice to Atlanta really hurts their chance at the division.

Panthers go 5-2

Falcons go 2-5 or 1-6

Falcons only have 2 wins against teams outside of the NFC South teams and one of them is the imploding Cowboys. With only 1 more game against the NFC South (Panthers), it's possible the Falcons collapse. Broncos, Chargers, Vikings, and Commanders are all likely losses for the Falcons. Raiders may be a revenge game for Ridder. Giants are a likely win for the Falcons.

Panthers would need to beat the Falcons and Bucs. I can see them beating a tanking Cowboys team. The Panthers would need to upset the Chiefs, Cardinals, or Eagles.

That would be insane if the Panthers and Falcons go into the final week of the season at 7-9. Playing for the division title? Andy Dalton would need to be starting with Thielen returning and Brooks showing up as the best from the rookie class for any hope of a division title.

Let's make this season a little bit exciting right now. Over the next 4 weeks, we're looking for a 4 game losing streak for the Falcons with 3 more straight losses and a Panthers win over the Bucs with an upset of the undefeated Chiefs or Eagles.

There is no real risk of the Panthers turning this around. What we should hope to see is the team be competitive in most of the remaining games and the further development of our younger players(Coker, Sanders, Chuba, XL, Wallace, Ikey, Horn, etc). These are guys that we need to become a core that can be built around.

And maybe some veterans like Wonnum show they can be a part of the future here.

    • Glass houses and all. I find the people who are the most adamant about this type of thing tend to have the most to hide. Careful buddy. 
    • Also, wanted to point out, all 3 of the Pivot guys I respect and appreciate tremendously.  I know RC only had 1 pro bowl, but I loved his game.  He was tough as nails and played with a ton of heart and grit.  He was trying to knock people out, but was also super cerebral.  Fred is obviously a hall of famer and just as tough. Channing made the most of what he had and was hard-nosed as well.  And yet, all three of them let Steve slide on a ton of poo in this interview.  They actually cowered in several moments and I don’t like that at all.  Because for all the things I mentioned in my initial post in this thread, them not trying to reel him back in or hold his feet to the fire on certain bullshit, and feels gross.  Yall were all on the same competitive level as athletes, and yet, yall just let him skate on poo like talking about invoking using a gun on someone, laughing off how he essentially ended two teammates’ careers by BULLYING them and then co-signing it, and letting him completely sidestep accountability about his affair.  I get it, because apparently he invited you to his home to do the interview, but either talk some real poo or don’t do the interview at all.  This was some real softball poo.
    • This season’s leader, Daniel Jones, is averaging 265.9 yards per game, that would rank 12th in 2015. Even going back to 2020, he would rank 10th in passing yards. So it does appear that passing yards is down, but is that because they aren’t as good? Possibly, but we were spoilt in recent years when we had Brady, Peyton, Brees, Rodgers, Roethlisberger, Rivers, Ryan, Stafford (etc). As crops of QBs go, it was an amazing era to watch and most will end up in the Hall of Fame. I’m not convinced you we could list as many potential Hall of Fame QBs from the current crop. Will it go pass heavy again? I think there’s a good chance that it will, but it will require QBs that can consistently air the ball out in the frequency we saw in the 00s and 10s. I think currently coaches are favouring a more balanced approach, if not favouring a strong running game.
