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. 

marginally, with creating a headache in the offseason

listen to the podcast its almost 100% about the panthers from national writers breaking down the trade, the roster, the strategy, long term short term and what the team is trying to do overall.

 

spoiler: its not pretty from an outsiders perspective

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 😆

He asked me about Baker and such, I told him 99.99999999999474747% Baker was done with Browns. The relationship was over. Old sizzle fought hard that Baker would remain and chance hed play. False given the news....

Consistent pattern: He swore the Texans would never trade Watson and they'd make him play too.

I know the futures deal is very cloudy, not going to say its rainbows and full of cap space. Cuts, Burns, QB, insane high numbers for "good" players are coming. Worry about that after the season, lots can happen to change all the outcomes for the off-season. If panthers find a true franchise QB all those issues will be minor. Baker is another attempt to do that.

It's not pretty from my perspective.

how do you define "finding a true franchise qb"?

Sometimes I wonder if it's worse to have a mix of competent and incompetent team leadership rather than just incompetence all around.

The hard part when you've got a mix is sometimes it's tough to tell where the incompetence lies.

I actually like his attitude. He's got a chip on his shoulder coming here which is good and is much better than Darnold on a baseline level. What i don't like though is that it seems he relies pretty heavily on play action. It remains to be seen that he can slice and dice.

Do you have a few hours?

I know its wasting my time if I made a case for Baker, you crystal clear hate the guy. Im not a fan either, but hes a panther and until the playoffs are mathematically out. I want to win, even with Baker.

      We looked like a competent NFL team PIE thread

      By Prowler2k18 · Posted

      We could easily pick apart yesterday’s game: dropped passes, blown coverages, bad tackling and red zone issues to name a few. But it was clear that this wasn’t the same team from earlier in the season. They fought back and hung with the champs until the end. That’s what I was excited to see and it gives me hope that we’re on the right track.

      Bryce developing before our eyes

      By Pejorative Miscreant · Posted

      I think BY played well today and exceeded expectations. I will temper future expectations as he has to string together many games of consistent quality. One game doesn’t convince me that he is a franchise QB or even a guy you want to stick with for another season. One game doesn’t erase all the negative play and limitations from the past couple of years. I hope he balls out and continues to get better but for me the verdict is still out   That said, I think he gave the team and fans hope yesterday which is a lot more than what we had when we woke up Sunday morning.

      Bryce Young - Good and Bad, what say you?

      By Ricky Prickles · Posted

      He was vastly improved today and we need to see more of Bryce the rest of the season to continue evaluate him in order to decide what the heck to do with him at the end of the season. He must play at least like this and improve more from here the rest of the season in order for me to keep him. No more 123 yard passing games and want to see at least this output weekly from him. If this is Bruce improving slowly over time then Canales is even better with developing QB's than I thought he was but still too early to tell and we need to see him the rest of the way as he has at very least earned back the starting gig moving forward.
