Patience paid off, what a steal. Anyone complaining about this deal either is perpetually miserable or doesn't understand how the NFL works. Not sure which is worse 

How the NFL works? What re-tread QB’s have been super successful in the NFL? In the NFL you have to have elite QB play to win a Super Bowl. 

A lot of people here have been so used to horrible play that they’re more than ready to settle for mediocrity.

Can't believe people are crying over this trade. No way M.C was starting no matter who the QB was. Sure Mayfield may have personality issues, but that is irrelevant now. 

Carrol will get his chance. This sucking just to hopefully get a top five pick next year is ridiculous. Same people who are bitching about this trade, would be bitching about a 4 or 5 win season. Can't win with this crowd 

But you’re taking snaps away from Corral no matter how you slice it. A lot of people like myself don’t see Mayfield as the answer. So why bring him in? Just because he’s a better than Darnold?

And?

I can spell this out if you need me to.

First, someone says he is cheap for a top 15 qb.

Then you replied you got anything to back that up.

Then I provided a link to rankings from just this past month from Chris Simms, a well regarded QB analyst, showing he has Baker as #17.

Apologies there is such a massive gap between 15 and 17.

Top 15 qb?   You got any stats to back this up whatsoever?

I'm not a big PFF fan but they had him as the 10th best QB going into last season. And last season the dude played through like 3 or 4 different significant injuries. I'm not counting on him to be our savior and he absolutely has his issues but he does have the potential to be a solid 2nd/3rd tier starter...

Even if I am not crazy for the guy, no way they could turn this trade down. Five million and a fifth round conditional pick is crazy for a starting QB. Even for a meh starting QB, it is a deal.

P.J is gone and Darnold is gone next season if they can't unload him this year. Corral will get his shot. NFL season is long and things happen. Just study the playbook and be ready when his shot comes.

 

A agree.

People against this trade just don't like Mayfield or they think the hope that Matt Corral is the second coming is legit.  You give yourself options and you develop Corral properly.  If Corral shows he has what it takes by the end of the year, the Panthers will know it.  If Baker shines and gets a a contract here, Corral is still an asset. 

I imagine the Panthers are looking to give Darnold away in a trade right now--if they could get a fourth or fifth rounder and eat the salary, it would be a win.

lol you can spell it out and this guy will still deny it and be upset. It’s such a low risk move and some people just want to be upset…

I don't like Mayfield. Not sure I'd say I was against this trade though so much as I just wasn't for it.

I'd rather Corral sit first.

Crazily it would have cost the same as Darnold, since their contracts are required to be the same. The trade might have cost us more than it did now, but probably along the same lines as Darnold's did now.

Smart shopping can really make the difference I guess. If we just new what would be on special ahead of time.

We weren't getting Baker before last season for a 6th and future 2nd and 4th after he had just beat Pittsburg on the road in the playoffs for the first playoff win in a generation.  The only reason Baker is gone is because they landed a top 5 young QB in Watson.

      We all remember 2023, when the Teppers were making the Pro Day rounds.  Then last year, the owner of this restaurant, blocks from Bank of America stadium, sent a message that was received by the Panthers' owner. 😡😠🤬 https://www.foxsports.com/stories/nfl/panthers-owner-david-tepper-makes-news-once-again-on-day-1-of-nfl-draft Why would an owner of a restaurant put up a sign of this nature?  Flashback to the Tepper Pro Day tour.  Brace yourselves: THE PRO DAY CIRCUIT,  2023  "THE HORROR." That is Nicole Tepper, all up in the prospect evaluation process with some motherly love and awkward post-hug expressions.  I was like, "What is she doing there?" Here is the lovely owner of the Panthers on the front row among scouts and our head coach at Ohio State's pro day in 2023. MODERN DAY:  APRIL 2025 So, have David and Nicole realized that ownership in the NFL does not make you an evaluator of talent?   Will their egos allow them to let others do their jobs?  Or should we brace ourselves to see their thrones moved to the war room on April 24, preparing for their draft day interventions?  Have they been on the pro day circuit?  Have we tarnished his desktop brass balls?  Did the bartender hurt his feelings?  Did he get the message?  Just because we don't see them, it does not mean they are not there--lurking in the shadows--hugging people and talking to coaches.  Texting stuff. "Dan, take who you want, but that Offensive Guard from Guilford is my third cousin twice removed."   We need to be diligent.  Stay focused.  Keep them away from the brain trust.  Seriously, did they get the message?  What have you heard?  Are we safe? Recently, GM Dan Morgan was asked if the Teppers were involved in the private workouts at BOA.  Morgan refused to answer, but he did stare at the reporter for 43 seconds.  This photo shows Morgan being asked about the Teppers' involvement during a recent presser: According to inside sources, a hyperbaric oxygen chamber, made famous by Morgan during his playing days, was recently seen being delivered to Morgan's office shortly after meeting with the Teppers, a meeting that included a power point featuring the Teppers' top 50 prospect list.  Please post any Tepper-related news here.  Hoping there is not any.

      TJ Watt is stirring up social media with throwin up a ✌️. Sounds like he either wants out or knows he is out.  So. question is, if the Steelers come calling and offer 21 and TJ Watt for 8, are you biting?
