Not as a GM.

I don't think he has the experience yet but he's one to watch out for in the future. Coming to work for Tepper would be career suicide though.

I had to Google Edgecombe County. There ain't no mountains in no Edgecombe County. LOL!

No clue what that has to do with age and generation. I love my Appalachians. Lived 14 years in the Rockies and still ultimately came back home to the Appalachians. My family has been here since before this country existed. Them roots run deep.

Baker is an average starter. We're a trash franchise.

Honestly, the Triangle just doesn't exist to me beyond UNC. I'm a pure mountain guy. NC outside of the mountains can get fuged. SC has the better low country. Charlotte exited to me because of the Panthers and I wouldn't go to a Panthers game now if you gave me free tickets and beer money. Don't @ me. I ain't lying.

The only one I even know of is Pittsboro and that's just so that I can go get me a Gambler and a bowl of cheese. I'm a pure WNC guy. Hickory is eastern NC in my mind. LOL!

I grew up in NC. I ain't never even heard of Clayton. LOL!

I honestly think Hurts was probably significantly more hampered by injury than we know. His play fell off a cliff. He's always been inconsistent but his good was REALLY fuging good. When he was on he looked MVP caliber. We just haven't seen that in months. I think something was going on injury-wise. If I'm the Eagles I'm not doing anything drastic. I'm not firing my coach. I'm focusing on getting my QB healthy and I'm revamping the defensive staff. I'm probably looking to add a third receiver and a receiving threat at RB. A ridiculous percentage of their receiving stats were put up by their two starting WRs. Their #3 WR put up 164 yards. Their RBs combined for about 350 receiving yards total.

The ceiling is not the roof. The ceiling is the subfloor.

Because he doesn't have NFL talent. He was a great college player. He seems like a truly decent guy. But none of that matters if you don't have NFL talent. You embarrassing yourself trying to claim that he had an "amazing impressive rookie season" isn't gonna change that. Just stop, man. I'm embarrassed for you. Bryce in three years is far more likely to be the QB coach at Alabama than he is to be an amazing NFL QB.

Lots of great college players fail to translate to the NFL. Being great in college no longer matters once you get to the NFL. History is littered with Heisman winners who just didn't have the prerequisite talent to translate their game to the NFL. Bryce will always be a great college player. He'll always be a Heisman winner. I don't wish to take any of that from him. He earned it. None of that is gonna help him in the NFL.

Jesus Christ, man. Is there any other trash you'd like to go to the mat for? The Eagles finished the year on what, a 1-7 streak? Anymore embarrassing takes you'd like to get of your chest tonight?

I didn't expect him to dominate. I expected him to look at least NFL caliber. He didn't. There's a lot of room to operate between "dominate" and "NFL caliber". Bryce failed to land anywhere in there.

David Teppers' Panthers ARE the dogshit. I mean, Baker showed promise in Cleveland of all places. He gets out of this dumpster fire and goes to TB and he's thrown for over 4k yards now with a 28:10 TD:INT ratio. Fug. We suck.

He's 30. He was never particularly fast or twitchy. It's not surprising he's falling off hard. He was a guy who couldn't afford to lose a step.

Not gonna lie though, I didn't envision them getting their asses straight kicked by the worst team in the playoffs. Yikes.

The luck ran out. They were frauds. I pointed this out in November. They weren't really playing all that well. They were getting lucky as hell and snatching victory from the jaws of defeat over and over again.

Baker isn't a plus starter but he probably has at least a dozen games better than Bryce's best. What's very weird is you still stumping for Bryce and acting like he's not terrible. Yes, the Panthers are terrible. But yes, Bryce is also terrible. What sucks the most about that is that he doesn't have the traits to improve much on that. It's one thing if a talented young player struggles with the transition. But Bryce was supposed to have all those mental abilities and intangibles. The critique of Bryce was always that he might be as good as he's gonna get already. Uh oh.

Liking what you're seeing from a QB with an NFL arm? We just tossed this guy out like garbage to mortgage our future on a "super processor". Brilliant stuff from Tepper. I ain't mad at Bryce. I'm mad at the dumbass calling the shots.

LOLOLOLOLOL You are embarrassing yourself tonight.

Yeah, he is.

Keep coping. Baker has NFL physical talent. Bryce doesn't. That's the difference. Y'all were saying this poo pre-draft. I was vindicated. Deal with it.

His attitude is a monster. It very well might derail him. I get it, your QB situation sucks ass and that's massively frustrating but just not blocking for teammates and basically saying it's because you're too good for that? Yikes. Dude should've caught some Smitty style sweet chin music in the locker room for that poo.
