Is this a prelude to the Panthers having a 20 point 3rd quarter lead, only to falter and lose by 3.

If the Panthers are willing to give up 15 yards early, they could give Baker a "remember me" shot and increase their chances of victory.

Am I a bad person for not having a problem with this?

This is just to have a “baker tough” media gush for when he plays.

Like Carr?

That’s why I love having bona fide Black & Gold New Orleanians on our roster. They know the real history and meaning of who our rivals are!

He will play. Playoffs on the line. Shoot him up and suck it up. Rib jacket on and roll

Coach Bowels has already said that the StudeBaker would be OK to Start and Play Sunday.

It’s a division rivalry game. Baker is legit hurt but will play. The Panthers will give it 100%.

No one is laying down.

Bucs fans are worried. Baker has shown in his career that he will play hurt even though he shouldn’t and could hurt his team by playing poorly.

An almost legally dead team can beat Carolina at this point.

I don't think it matters who starts at qb, Carolina is very bad in all phases.

Thier 2-14 record is a mirage and is better than what the team actually is.
