Baker is 6'1" 209lbs. What are his physical tools?

Kid was definitely the problem for the first two weeks this season, but with Sam Darnold and Baker Mayfield out there doing well I'm surprised by the confidence some fans have declaring Bryce's NFL career over. Then again, the same folks declaring his career over also blamed him for the OL not blocking last season and the WRs not getting separation so I guess it shouldn't be surprising.

Not a terrible list. Not exactly the best, but not bad at all imo: https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/free-agents/_/year/2025/position/edge/type/ufa/sort/contract_value

I see only 1 deep pass since we were told that only 40+ yards count In all seriousness tho, Dalton's been slinging it. He's let a couple of the short throws get away from him but he wasn't lying when he said he was playing more loose than he ever has. Gotta think that he's having himself a lot of fun this season so far.

I don't agree with the incredibly unrealistic expectations some fans might have. The defense ended up being without more than half of its starters that they were looking at leading into the offseason (Derrick Brown, Shy Tuttle, DJ Wonnum, Shaq Thompson, Josey Jewell, Jordan Fuller, Dane Jackson). To make up for it, Evero is leaning heavily on the bend but don't break philosophy. That side of the ball could definitely use more talent. The way they've performed with the secondary and pass rush in flux the way it has has been impressive to me. They've been starting games with solid energy but you can tell they're worn down even with the offense starting to hum. Depth is being tested early... but hopefully that means getting all of these guys back from injury will help with the talent level.

There are a LOT of quality edge rushers set to be UFAs next season. As much as I want to spend a high draft pick on a pass rusher I also would prefer that the team sign and start a vet that's proven in the league. Not exactly a fan of "draft a rookie to save this part of the team" mentality that has taken hold the last few seasons. If the team can pick up a vet EDGE and draft a high ceiling prospect... yes pls!

holy poo Joe Burrow

Listen to that crowd on third down!!!!!!!!!!!!

RED RIFLE

LET'S FN GO CHUBA

Meanwhile... in Chicago... Reports are saying that DJ and Caleb have been arguing a lot on the sidelines. Maybe they'll want to send him back?

they taxed the poo out of him on that catch

He's the swing tackle. Canales mentioned wanting him to stick to one position, so it sounds like they're keeping him at tackle.

Look at how happy the team is for him! My heart

XL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Uh oh

Way too early to be hopeful but not too early to be doubtful?

No doubt. Dude can spin it and is having a great season so far with the Hurricanes.

Back in January, Brugler said folks had a 5th round grade on him but could go a round or two higher due to upside I'm all for throwing a day 3 pick at one of the QBs in this class, especially Ward if he's somehow still there.

My favorite free agent acquisition this offseason by far! And he's got my favorite highlight of the season up until this point... ejecting Spillane out of the club: https://www.instagram.com/panthers/reel/DATke3hRdJn/?hl=en

Former Temple/Panther TE Colin Thompson now has his own media company and is joining the long list of athlete podcasts. They posted a clip about the Tepper drink throwing incident and JJ repeats what was heard early on: that the Jags fans were yelling up into the box while Marquis Haynes was down with a scary looking injury.

Eku Leota also released from the PS

Totally agree on both of those points. At the very least, they should have been more willing to sit him sooner seeing how much more competent Dalton looked. After the high school cafeteria drama we heard with last year's staff though I'm surprised that guys made it through the season without setting the locker room on fire.
