Just doing a little research on Matt Corral and found an interesting interview with his mother. She talked about being pregnant with Matt, how she didn't get sick while carrying him, didn't have to take any days off, and how her original due date was in March of '99 but Matt arrived in January two months early.

If it keeps them safe, I have no issue with it.

His entire demeanor is different this season. Good to see. Hope he has found some peace with his mental health.

*top 5 in yards allowed middle of the pack as an overall unit. Still an improvement, but not the drastic change people make it out to be. Also, list of defensive players that improved under Rhule: Shaq Donte List of defensive players who have failed to progress/improve under Rhule (so far): Brown Burns Chinn Gross-Matos Pride Jr Kenny Robinson I was honestly disappointed in the play of the defense last year. the first year I thought they played better than expected, last year was a let down.

I love when normal people can give insight on injuries that these superhuman athletes have gotten just so we can put the severity in perspective.

For comparison Darnold: TD-INT 2018 - 5-0 2019 - 8-1 2020 - 2-1 2021 - 6-1 Total - 21-3 Baker is over 3x more likely to get to the red zone and 3x less likely to throw a pick once he gets there. I really don't understand the people that think Baker isn't a SIGNIFICANT upgrade over Darnold. It's not even that Baker is Elite, it's just that Sam is THAT BAD.

Points per drive would be better (18th) Red zone TD scoring percentage allowed would also give a good idea of how the defense performs where it matters the most. (3rd worst) 3rd down % allowed is also a solid indicator of defensive efficiency. (9th best) TO% forced is another good one(5th worst) All things considered we were an OK defense last season. Not good, not bad, but average it seems. Better than 2021, but not as good as many believe we were.

Post em here. I was at a work summit the past few days so I missed all the asshatery in real time, but you best believe if you dingleberries clog up my panther updates thread I will send your ass to timeout for the rest of the day. Please report consistent bickering/dicketry in this thread so I or the other mods will become aware. This post will unlock at 2:22 AM in honor of our two best offensive players.

People don't understand efficiency statistics. On a per red zone trip basis, we were one of the worst defenses in the league. It doesn't matter how the other teams got there, but once they were there, they scored TDs at will. That's not a good defense.

Been like that ever since Tepper took over. Any and all updates only seem to come from in house and there aren't a lot and they are few and far between.

Not a fan of Rhule as our coach but this is grasping at straws when there are legitimate things to bemoan with him as our coach.

Honestly a good interview all around. Would love to see Robbie turn it around. I'm not holding my breath but I'd love to see it.

Exactly. When I and many people ask for new jerseys we don't necessarily want an overhaul, just a nice tweak that updates the jerseys to make them look cleaner/more coherent and up to date.

I don't take any offense to it. The look is completely subjective. I happen to really like it.

Ignoring the elite photoshop skills - I still disagree. As long as they keep black pants the black helmet goes with whatever.

Hard disagree. The silver is dated and looks like crap with the rest of the uniform. Black helmet immediately improves the look of each uniform combo.

Just shows how out of place the sparkly silver helmets are in regards to our uniforms. Make the change permanent Tepper. The helmets should either be black or blue, not silver.

I think it's because the Browns waited so long that we became the only team left that was a viable option. The fact that Baker is only under contract for one year is a huge detriment to his value in terms of what a team would give up for him. Seattle - Carrol is not on the hotseat and winding down on his career. It is evident that they are in for a rebuild, hence the trade of Wilson and recouping of picks. Mayfield is an upgrade over anyone on their roster, yes, but he would also potentially take the team out of contention for a higher pick when they reset next year Atlanta - Cap issues and likewise, starting a rebuild. No use for a guy like Baker NO - Cap issues, already have a guy who knows their scheme in Winston. Wash - Already traded for Wentz. Can't throw that away just yet. Pitt - Division Rival, drafted a 1st round QB as well as signed Mitch Trubisky in the offseason. No point in trading for Baker Colts - Traded for Matt Ryan when ATL screwed up with getting Watson. Giants - Cap hell and not looking to bring on a one year rental. Texans, Jags, Jets, Dolphins, Pats, Eagles, Bears, and 49ers all have young guys on rookie deals Panthers - HC on the hotseat with a dumpster fire of an incumbent starter. Rookie QB taken in the 3rd round but he will most likely not be ready this season due to the offense he ran in college (Even though he has potential). Rhule needed Baker to save his job. That's why we got him.

https://www.si.com/nfl/2018/04/18/baker-mayfield-2018-nfl-draft-quarterbacks Good read. Still don't know what the hell to think.

Arnold was a JAG and severely overrated by a lot of this fanbase. Dude had 7 receptions and 0 TDs over 3 games. At least David Gettis had 8 Receptions, 125 yards and 2 TDs in a single game so the hype was warranted.

Baker has exponentially more charisma than Sam Darnold.

Of Course, Star was underrated in his time with us. Did the dirty work and kept Luke/TD clean. Our Rush defense started to tank after he left.

They beat us, they can talk their crap. Cousins is SIGNIFICANTLY better than Darnold. Still wouldn't have wanted to trade for him because it would have been for way too much.
