I don't think we will be nearly as unwatchable as last season even if we are not successful. Unless Baker gets injured.

He wasn't great but it's clear that he adds an element of being able to suddenly come back that we don't usually have. That's not nothing.

As I said earlier, was it Baker getting better in the 2nd half or was it the Browns being in control and just calling off the dogs a bit...

Let's see what Baker does in the next game....

 

...if he starts out as well as he finished this game, then there's reason to be encouraged that, at the very least, the team will be watchable this season.

You are not wrong and it is an important distinction from last year. He will be who he was in Cleveland, some dry games and some stat padding games. He will not carry a win often. 

Yeah, but I also don't think this is a roster that was very well set up to win. Add the worst HC in the NFL, a dash of bottom third coaching staff and that isn't much of a recipe for success.

I can't put a lot of this game on Baker, although he didn't play particularly well.

I’m good as well. Just tired of hearing whiny fans complaining incessantly. 

The only people I see complaining are the ones saying we lost because of one bad call by the refs.  No, we lost because we played like garbage the entire game and one bad call was the final nail in the coffin after they dug their own graves.  You are not going to win games when you give up that many rushing yards in the first half and you can't run the ball yourself, lucky they were in it at ALL toward the end.

    • Easily. To be able to plug in a backup LT without much drop off from your starter? That could mean the difference between playoffs or sitting at home in January. Good/serviceable smart young and healthy LTs that won’t lose you a ball game at reasonable $$ don’t just come along every day. Picture next year… the team is scrappy and competitive, 4 and 3 record, second place in the South. Morale is good. devastating run game that Let’s our marginal defense get plenty of rest. We play the Bucs and win, going to 5 and 3, but we lose Ickey to a high ankle sprain. Atl loses that week and are now at 5 and 3 as well. There is no Ickey and no BC because we let him go… and we go in to Atl the next week for a battle of first in the south. Week after that is the Jets…. Now they lose both by 10 and 3, respectively, and fall to 5 and 5 going in to their bye week. Atl is at 7 and 3. Out of typical Panthers desperation, they try to rush Ickey back in to the lineup with a saints game coming up…  Back to good old Panthers football, always playing catchup. Another season at .500 and the fans sadly rejoice in mediocrity, when playoffs were in reach. This team always overestimates its ability to pick up quality o line depth in the draft or FA and it always blows up in their faces. Like Chuba, I see him as being part of the core that Dan is trying to build. Work on his contract now and see if we can come out with something mutually beneficial. I’d consider 3 yrs at $25m to be very fair. 
    • it would be great to have "double trouble" again, I even had a T- shirt for Williams and Stewart and the double trouble logo, was a great time to be Panthers fan. We shall see...
    • Sounds like a plan. Those are the teams we should be mimicking! lol
