Looking at the recent Super Bowl winners Rams, Bucs, Eagles, Chiefs, Broncos all established solid teams before acquiring their Super Bowl winning QBs. The Chiefs drafted theirs, but traded up to get him as they were already a playoff team with an average QB in Smith. Bucs and Rams had average to below average QB play and build solid teams around them before trading for or signing their guy. Eagles won as a team with a journeyman QB filling in for their drafted one. Even if he doesn’t win a Super Bowl, have a decent QB to run our offense and build up our team is a big next step from constantly drafting in the top 10. We become more attractive for vet QBs that may want to leave their team for whatever reason or we can trade up and get our rookie to insert in an offense that isn’t limp and dead. Corral could even be that guy. Rolling it back with Sam and PJ is just hoping for the draft to save us.

We had Sam, PJ, and a 3rd round rookie who said himself he isn’t ready yet. So what would you option be aside from tanking this year and trying to get lucky in the next draft? Sam sucking and being our top option absolutely means we should have traded for Baker. Our staff’s job is to try to win as many games as possible and this trade helps them achieve that while Corral gets his feet wet.

What a terrible take. You don’t need a top 10 QB to win it all. See Nick Foles, Joe Flacco, Manning his final year, Eli Manning. What you can’t have is QB that is the very bottom of the league. We have had a top 10 QB once in our entire history and he wasn’t top 10 consistently. Delhomme got us to just as many Super Bowls as Cam did without being top 10. We had a good chance to upgrade the position and make our team better for very cheap and made it happen. Smart teams do that and now we can build a competent offense to insert our next QB if Baker isn’t our guy. Better yet top FA QBs May actually consider Charlotte as a destination instead of bottom of the league team/offense.

You do realize that “above average” is a huge jump from Darnold? So yeah a $5 million dollar trade to go from worst in the NFL to above average at the most important position is a good trade.

If we are using Dan Orlovsky quotes/data, how do you feel about this one?

YGM, we also looked at a few vets like Carlos Dunlap. I wonder if signing Baker makes up more prone to sign a player like Dunlap…

Reddick and Burns on the field together was a big run defense liability. One of them had to go in order to make this defense more balanced. I don’t necessarily see Reddick leaving as a bad thing.

90% sure that’s a troll account. The only 10% doubt is from Sizzle being for real.

Winston is getting 28 million over two years with 21 guaranteed. We only guaranteed Baker 1 year for 5 million. I’ll take the “immature” QB for that contract. Also let’s not pretend like Jameis is some saint… well I mean he technically is, but still…

As long as Rhule realizes Baker is his daddy everything should be good.

They upgraded assistant coaches/coordinators as well.

https://www.brownsnation.com/video-shows-the-last-time-baker-mayfield-and-matt-rhule-met/ This made me lol. As long as Rhule doesn’t forget Baker is his daddy we should be good…

The promising him a long term deal was completely fabricated unless someone can provide some valid source stating that. It’s pretty simple IMO. He probably discussed what kind of offense we are running and he chances of becoming the starter. If he plays well as a starting QB in the league, someone will offer him a nice contract. QBs are too hard to come by. His destiny is in his own hands which is how he seems to like it.

They are more than good. They are GRRRREAT!!!

He was average at best… (kidding)

Yeah, seems like a relatively safe hobby with little injury risk.

Looking at it from the outside he was overconfident after his rookie year and made some bad throws year 2 leading to a ton of picks. He looked like he got his head out of his ass and improved a good bit in year 3 with a top 10 QBR. The curve ball is last year’s struggles. I believe it was because he was trying to play through that injury from week 2, but he looked much worse. Had he stayed healthy and continued his improvement he would probably still be a Brown.

StocktonShorts seems pretty legit… Halo is a fine choice is one is going to play games though.

Thank you! That’s what I’ve been saying and people on here are acting like I’m in some Baker fan club. He is an upgrade at the most important position for very cheap. If he performs or not it was a smart trade.

Nicknames?? You really are like Sizzle…

I don’t see you getting banned for supporting a player. I just think you got stuck on repeat there for a second. It was the same post over and over..

Yes he has been a Panther for a couple months longer. You can support both players as they are both Panthers. I hope Corral turns into the next Aaron Rodgers! I thought Corral was the best QB prospect to run our offense before the draft. I’m just glad we got Baker for so cheap. If we have givenup a high pick and took on his salary, I would probably be singing a different tune.

Baker is also our QB on our team right? Listen to your own advice. I like Corral, just spamming the same phrase over and over is annoying.
