    So, now we have three quarterbacks, Sam Darnold, Baker Mayfield and Matt Corral. 😁

    Good luck Baker - should be interesting to see how he does.......

    Congrats DD! It will be interesting to see if they offer him an extension to at least see what he can do in Carolina. At worst it only cost them a fourth rounder and the Browns agreed to pay 10+M of his salary. I hope he works out for your Cats.

    I'm looking forward to this, I watched Baker a lot at Oklahoma and he was a fiery competitor, I hope he can get that going again in Carolina.

    I hope so too, of course I'm hearing talk about a battle between Sam Darnold and Mayfield for the starting job so we'll see what happens but I hope we go with Mayfield as the starter.

    I don't know much about the Panthers - who's Mayfield have to throw to? Anybody good?

    Pretty good receivers, D.J. Moore, Robby Anderson. Look who we play week 1 of the 2022 season, the Cleveland Browns, that is insane.

    I wish him luck, hopefully he can play well for your team Double D!

    Is that game in Carolina or Cleveland?

    I hope McCafferty is healthy all season. he is such a weapon.

    George Brett, Roger Clemens and Tommy Brady.

    Thanks buddy, I'm not getting my expectations up, I figure it can't be any worse than last season.......I hope.

    I believe it in Cleveland, this should be very interesting if Mayfield plays, a revenge game!

    He's tough for sure, he showed a lot of guts playing through that injury last season.

    The Panthers now have the #1 and # 3 draft choices from the 2018 draft

    That's a lot of picks spread out over three drafts, hopefully they've found their guy.

    Josh Rosen is a free agent. Make it happen Panthers!

    Well, better than Darnold but not by much, average starting qb, never will be elite - 6'1" without strong feet, super speed, or arm. He does have some heart tho', but at this level rarely that alone wins the SB. Carolina should have been more aggressive in the Watson sweepstakes IMO. But it did not cost them too much in picks although it still seems desperate.

    He did have one pretty good (not elite) season in 2020, - 96 rtg (15th overall in the middle), 65 qbr (10th overall), so maybe under the right system and a willingness to learn, he might be ok but his limited physical attributes suggest average is as average does. Me? After not getting Watson, I would have tanked with Darnold hoping for Corral to be ok mid-season and the future, or a better qb in the draft next year. Who wants average?

    This is why I like what the Tejanos did, they accepted the departure of Watson, got alot of 1rst round picks for him, tanked for at least 1 year, tested the waters with a 3rd round qb in the draft with intelligence and strong physical aspects - 6'4", lanky strong arm, and this year in tank year 2, will see if he can be elite. Maybe, maybe not, but at least they are building the infrastructure to head to a SB in a few years. This is the strength of the new GM Caserio, the Patriot Way.............. We will see how it turns out and whether Carolina will be better than I think...........................

    Just IMO, SH

    And sorry Double Dragon for being such a Debbie Downer, but I was never in the Mayfield camp.

    It's ok, I'm not expecting too much from Mayfield. Heck, I'm just honored to have him here, he is responsible for one of the greatest NFL memes in history.

  • doubledragondoubledragon Posts: 23,269 ✭✭✭✭✭

    You see, isn't this great!

    Baker Mayfield is going to be good in Carolina; getting off Cleveland is going to do wonders for his career.

    The way I see it, if the NFL really wants to punish Deshaun Watson, they should have him play his games for the Cleveland Browns.

    Eight games in he’ll be begging for a suspension…

    It appears that Deshaun Watson will be taking over Baker Mayfield's Progressive commercials.

  • perkdogperkdog Posts: 30,636 ✭✭✭✭✭

    Well if he succeeds in Carolina I will surely miss Bakers press conferences trying to explain how they need to get better after a loss again and again lol

    Listening to WTAM1100 tonight and they are talking Baker and the NFL. Good question - what does Baker do IF Darnold is chosen the starting QB? Will he be able to handle the back up position with out spouting his reverb to the press? What does the locker room say if the coaching staff decides against what the players actually wanted?
