Not worried about Baker's arm or his football IQ. Prepared to see him have some turnovers. But where he is night and day from last years QB is he isn't a milquetoast bore. He will at least bring some fire to the offense.

It's been rough as a Panthers fan but this is awesome and we have waited many moons for black helmets. Glad they used common sense and made the fans happy.

Some folks in this thread are coping to the extreme. Ohh wee Mayne.

The funny thing is homers like him will usually slink away when the losses pile up while the rest of us keep showing up to talk Panthers.

Who is forcing you to show up here?

Oh I do. Even some of our players who actually did good things here have gotten crapped on. But we are literally talking about the worst starting QB in the NFL. I'm not advocating trading picks just to dump him. But this is a professional team without back to back winning seasons in over 25 years. People complained about Richardson's family football atmosphere and paying and keeping players just for the sake of doing so because they are nice guys. This isn't that anymore. If a football team with 1 winning season in the last 11 years said enough is enough get this guy out of the building I think as Panthers fans we can stop this "you guys are just big meanies" narrative around people just wanting to move on now and get it over with.

There is no need to insult fish or potatoes like this.

I have to think we have something waiting to be released. If not what a blunder and missed opportunity.

That title was a bait and switch. There was no ripping of Sam Darnold. This is the content I seek. False advertising.

Sam Darnold and Kirk Cousins super fan. You've got some bizarre taste.

You're just too smart and cool for all of us csx/Moo Daeng.

They barely outlasted a comeback attempt from a Sam Darnold led offense and he's chest thumping?

In general it's become a futile effort to complain about Rhule. Same can be said for Tepper. But Matt is the one responsible for us sifting through the Jets scraps to build our team and aside from Frankie Luvu it's been a shitshow. All we can do is hope Robbie Anderson can hold it together for the sake of the locker room because if the losses pile up it could get ugly.

I wanted Duren too but McGowens is showing some nice potential however. Continuing to make it your mission to trash Williams makes no sense though. At least let the kid get a season under him. Why root against him and be a Hornets fan?

Very valid point. You would think fans here in the Carolinas would understand that better than anyone. He's here you might as well dig a little and try to gain a better perspective on the situation.

Wasn't the offense worse under Rhule college pal Jeff Nixon? Let's keep it real. McAdoo and Wilks wouldn't be here unless someone leaned in and said bring in veteran coaches.

Save this energy for September. The only two quarterbacks that matter are Mayfield and Corral. You don't have to be thrilled about it but it's the QB room we've got so it's time to put the Baker hate aside. I'd like to see Corral get a full offseason under him to add some weight but the potential and arm talent are there. I'm eager to see how his first camp goes. Now we just have to take out the garbage first. You know what I mean.

Why worry about comparing him to other Panthers quarterbacks? There are only two long term successful starters in a quarter century anyways. Either he can play or he'll be looking for a job elsewhere next year. Best thing to do for now is hope he proves a lot of people wrong. Cam will end up in the hall by the time it's all said and done I think. He needs to accept the reality of his career right now and retire so people can get back to appreciating what he did for the position though.

Malarkey. I like many others was not in favor of the trade initially when it was rumored we were interested. I tried to talk myself into it after the move was made and when we were 3-0 I was very cautiously optimistic. But even though the oline was putrid Sam was still right back to the same very bad quarterback that made catastrophic decisions with the football and worse than that he some times looked like he just didn't give a damn like after that very play I referenced to you. Just because fans are in favor of raising the bar does not make them haters. If you want to talk haters that would be people waiting for our only MVP in team history to make mistakes so they could say I told you so all those years. Even he finally reached the inevitable point where we had to move on. So no do not sit there and call people haters because they want no parts of making excuses for Sam Darnold.

Well for 18 million dollars guaranteed that's the least he can do.

We can only hope
