I'm pleased about the deal and all along was good with the consideration of it...

...ditto if it had been Winning Jimmy G.

You predicted the Browns wouldn't trade Mayfield and cited a no-name writer (probably about the only guy you could find who agreed) as if it bolstered your argument.

As for Garoppolo, the Panthers didn't want him. Heck, he might now end up in Cleveland.

No secret I’m a Baker Mayfield fan. It is sure nice that he has finally landed somewhere and can put this chapter behind him. I’m pulling for your Panther’s and hope for much success this season.

There is no value at all if it doesnt factor into our long term plans.  We are not winning the super bowl this year and its a damn stretch with our schedule to think we will be in contention for a wildcard spot, so I just dont see the damn use of it at all.  There is no future with him.   Its another wasted season.

Brother you dont know what the future holds and the super bowl or pointless is pathetic too. In a era were starting QB are getting 40+ million, panthers may have found one thats on a one year try out for 4.85. Thats great if youre a panther fan, off-field stuff aside. panthers can tag and keep him or tag and trade him if he gos off as well. 

Panthers have been sucking at QB moves, but this is a legit win. Sorry your Baker hatred will not let you see the bright side of this.

basically whats the point for a 1 year rental and they break it down long term and short term

I like Mayfield as a person and as a personality, but I don't understand as a player. If nothing else he will motivate guys and they will play for him.

I'm not a real big fan of one year rentals, but for a conditional fourth / fifth rounder two years from now, throwing in that his old team pays the majority of his salary?

That's not a bad deal at all.

Dang Scot has a memory, thats how I seen it too. Sizzle just like you stating over and over Tepper would not fire Marty Herniay and did. You thought more than few times Baker would remain a brown and even play...... FYI Bro thats not happening.

its not a bad deal but it doesnt do poo for the long term, what exactly does it accomplish for one year?

 

Listen to the podcast they break it down from all sides, pro/con long term short term

[mrcompletely11]

they just say its obvious that this staff is "scraping and clawing" trying to make it to another year without a solid plan

Wasn't that long ago, really...

What made it stick out in my mind though was that he found some no-name reporter and tried to build them up as if they were a better source than established writers like Mary Kay Cabot and Tony Grossi

I don't think it was done for the long term.

The guy who currently holds the ultimate sign off power isn't necessarily assured that he has a long-term.

So are there new rules this season that prevent the panthers form re-signing Baker long-term after the season? They also have his rights via tagging as well. The one year is a blessing given it could go off rails too. Perfect type of risk for the panthers to take. The point of it all is too improve team talent and with this trade the QB room has improved.
