I honestly don't understand the dislike of Baker. The guy seemed like a solid teammate while he was here. Went from a bad situation to a terrible situation but seemed well liked in the locker room. Having guys get out of Carolina and play better elsewhere has kinda been a staple of the last few years.

I always giggle that the Bills and Comms have become 2nd homes or refuge for former Panthers. I hope the Bills can get it done this year, I'd like to see that for Allen and McDermott. I just feel like this is their year.

I honestly don't think they beat the ravens. I feel like the Ravens will just run the ball down their throat the entire game

Agreed, I would take Mahomes, Lamar, Allen, Burrow, and Goff over him.

And that’s it.

That was back when the score was like 10-10 and he'd just missed three receivers in the end zone over 7 plays lol. Like every young QB he has his ups and downs and he ultimately delivered when it mattered most 

Edit: also I didn't say he was playing poorly - I expected him to get the ball in the end zone on those possessions is all.

I mostly agree, but I think its more accurate to say that balance wins championships.  

Hard to argue that, but we are far from balanced offensively and defensively. 

And I know, we had a lot of problems, having been balanced before in how poorly the ENTIRE team played for the past five or so years.

Daniels looked great this year. But so did Vince Young. So did Sam Bradford. So did RG3. Kyler Murray hasn't completely busted but he also isn't any better now than he was as a rookie. Herbert looked way better as a rookie than I expected and looked on the MVP caliber track but seems to have plateaued considerably below that.

Be careful assuming good rookies will automatically progress as expected, especially 24 year old rookies.

Ehh, Daniels has looked much better than any of those guys you mentioned other than Herbert. Of course nothing in this league is guaranteed but Daniels absolutely looks like the real deal. Dude is just outrageously poised and calm for a rookie in all situations, not to mention the mobility and a hell of an arm and great accuracy. Washington got a really good one.

Yeah, he looks really good. All I'm saying is don't just assume he's going to take the next step and prove to be MVP caliber. Doesn't always happen like that. As well as he played yesterday, he threw about three balls that could've maybe even should've been picked off. How different is the narrative today had those defensive plays been made? And nothing would've changed on his part.

I don’t know about that.  Looks like a rerun of RG3 to me.  Hopefully he doesn’t keep running like a crash test dummy until it’s too late.

He takes some horrific hits. He did in college too. He definitely needs to learn to protect himself a little better when running. Slid, get out of bounds, whatever. He's not built to run through defenders like a Cam or Josh Allen.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      Let's be completely honest about this... Our WR room is AT and a bunch of question marks. Thielen is the only guy we know who knows the route tree completely, understands play calls and can regularly get open/beat close coverage when necessary. He's long in the tooth, isn't the speediest guy on the field but he plays like a pro, starting level wide receiver. Xavier, last season looked great at first, but man he kind of petered out down the stretch and would disappear in a number of games. He wasn't reliable on routes or getting open and where he was supposed to be a king at contested catches, he often looked a bit intimidated. I'm not saying he's a washout by any means. Anyone with his size, speed and catch radius could make it big in the NFL, but can he do it? He'll need to show more than he did in the preseason before we can really rely on him as a WR1 or WR2.  Coker was a revelation last season, he really played way above his (non)draft status and flashed multiple times in games and was a steady performer. What we need to find out, though, is whether he was benefiting from being an unknown that wasn't getting maximum effort from opposing DBs or if he was just outworking and outhustling everyone on the field. We should find out this season. We sure as hell didn't find out much in the pre-season (from him or any receiver or QB for that matter). He's still a question mark, but I think he has the look of the real deal. He might be this generation's next Thielen. Now, let's talk about Tet. High first round draft pick, first true WR off the board this year. Stellar career out west in college. Has the swagger of the WR1. And man, y'all are going to get mad about this but... he comes across as a mook. And in the pre-season he performed, well, not so great against poor opposition of second and third stringers. Yeah, he caught that one moonshot ball in the first game but really, nothing else lighting the place up. Rookie endzone drop in that game, too. He's still young and adjusting, I'm sure, but I was hoping to see something of a breakthrough kind of guy. I'm still looking. Hunter Renfro? Gosh, I hope he can make the team and make a comeback to his old form. It would be such a great story. But maybe neither one of those happens. We won't know until Tuesday and then, if he makes it past there it could be weeks. So, TL;DR: AT is all we can bank on right now. We couldn't afford to let him go considering the number of unknowns we'd be throwing out there for our QB, who himself is still an unknown. One thing to add: Our receivers coaching group has their work cut out for them. I hope they are up to the task, but the pre-season gave me little reason to believe in them. And I really need something to believe in here in Carolina.

      2025 Roster Cuts

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Linebacker is the biggest need - I hope we figure out a way to address it. Krys Barnes is the only one who even moderately flashed.  Super nervous about Trevin/Rozeboom as a duo (Still like Trevin) I'd be excited if we had a better vet to mentor Trevin.  Or a better younger guy to support Rozeboom.  They just don't fit well and it may be a big problem against the run, even with our DL much improved.
