This was a high reward low cost possibility. Baker is not far removed from having a good year and he will have a good line and good weapons. With our passing scheme it should be qb friendly making Baker likely better than he would be in a different scheme.  I didn't want the trade originally but now that it is done I am going to be his biggest fan.  The 5th rounder and 5 million are inconsequential to the prospect that he can start for us and win games.  If he ends up balling out he surely can help us and perhaps make up competitive again.

Like I said, this is worst case scenario, we are going to extend this jackass based on average play

 

Seems like just yesterday Fitt was bragging about scouting wilson, drafting him and then turning him loose into a franchise qb.

What if he goes for 65%, 4000 yards, 32 TDs and 10 INTs?  Would you want to extend him then?

It's pretty great value if they think one of those guys can be the franchise QB

He isn't a franchise QB.  Like, Sam and Teddy before that...Baker is a question that has already been answered.    

and Matt Rhule is too.  The brand is clearly insanity.  Doing the same thing year after year and thinking somehow it will be different this time.   Can't wait for Rhule season 4 - The Daniel Jones Project.

So my understanding is baker took a paycut to get it done. I like highly motivated players betting on themselves personally. He’s a panther so I’ll root for him to succeed

Depends on how much of those numbers the receivers are responsible for getting. YAC would play a big role if it's a lot of short passes and screens.

oh boy I tell you what right now that Baker Mayfield is going to in fact  blossom into a a really good quarterback here in Carolina barring of course no injuries

Why didn't he blossom the Browns?

 

Not going to happen. Ship has sailed THATS why they lusted after lusty DW.

...is that a serious question?

 

Okay, let's pretend that's not self-explanatory, and I'll give you a serious answer:

He had as many head coaches as he had years on the team.
