Quarterback Battle?

  1. 1. What do you want?

    • Completely open QB competition. Best player starts (even if its Darnold)
    • Its Bakers job to lose.

Why though? Baker is better than all of them. Matt might one day be lightyears better ... but right now he's not ... at all. Sam and PJ aren't even close to Baker's level (which isn't that high sadly).

Then Baker should win the competition hands down. Everyone deserved the chance to compete and if Datbold is the best in camp then he should start. McAdoo wont be looking at last year at all. It is all about the now.

I don't believe in handing anything to anyone who hasn't performed for us.

No matter how badly PJ and Sam may have performed they have earned the right to fight for their job.

Sam and Baker have been auditioning every time they've stepped on the field.  They are not going to look at camp alone.  They are going to consider previous play and in that, Baker has the head start.  If Baker has not recovered and stinks up camp, then Sam could take it.  I don't see that happening.

Yeah but if he is obviously better than it should show immediately. What is the risk of a competition?

Because all they have to look at would be practice. Practice doesn’t always translate into actual game performances, especially with Darnold. If Baker has a lingering injury or is way rusty that’s one thing, but starting a QB who has proven he can’t start because he looks good in practice doesn’t make sense to me…

I think this this is such an interesting situation. You have a head coach that knows that his job depends on his QB. So he absolutely needs to make sure he fields the best person.. not the most popular one. 

Baker has the better stats. Darnold has arguably more talent. With your job on the line, it will be interesting to see the choice.

If I had to tier/rank the QBs in terms of best option come week 1. 

Contra Cheat God Mode QB: PJ Walker.  You can't die.  You can't lose. 

Average/Competent NFL QB: Baker

Rookie/Developmental QB: Corral 

Drunk Jimmy Clausen on Steriods: Sam Darnold

Clausen numbers

Darnold after week 4:

55.4 completion percentage

TD-INT  4-10

If Corral outplays them in practice that’s different than Sam IMO. Corral hasn’t proven he can’t start like Sam has and he will only get better (in theory) as the season progresses. So basically I’m ok with a competition between Corral and Mayfield, just not Sam because we already know what he is and it’s not good…

    • 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?
