  1. A 5th and they would need to eat a chunk of his salary. RA would work for me too, but we would need to try to unload Sam somewhere even if we eat a chunk of his salary.
  2. If we promote him mid season there is still a good chance we bring in an outside HC the following year. The Raiders intermediate HC got them in the playoffs and was still replaced this past year.
  3. Unless the word is win more games this year or else. Three straight years of 5 or less win seasons for a coach who hasn’t had any success in the NFL should get him fired. If Corral flashes I could see them wanting to get an offensive coach to fully develop him. The Chargers fired their coach after Herbert showed potential and the Browns did the same with Jackson/Kitchen and Baker.
  4. I’d prefer Baker because the Browns were awful when he first arrived and he still played decent. I think there is a small chance he can be a franchise guy vs Jimmy who has reached his ceiling.
  5. Maybe. He dropped his INTs from 21 his second year to 8 the following year. That shows he is learning and developing. Last year was a bit of a wash for him since he played through injuries that would normally sideline him. He went to the worst team in the league and has had a better career than Darnold. The 2 really aren’t comparable. There are 2 solid reasons not to want Baker IMO. The first is he isn’t good enough to push us in a top class to compete in the playoffs. The second is he takes away snaps to develop Corral. I can’t find a legit analyst anywhere that says he is on par with Darnold…
  6. Tepper is the only one who can fire Rhule. His GM can’t make that call so that leaves the owner. We want him to leave it to the football people, but he can’t help himself. Running to “Mr Whip It Out” every year and making an offer for him only to get rejected. Offering a college coach with no experience a stupid contract to coach/run his team. According to some on here, he is still great and much better than Jordan…
  7. The biggest difference between Sam and Baker is Baker has shown a clear ability to get better. He started off good as a rookie, got trigger happy with INTs his 2nd year, then put up a great performance his 3rd year. Last year he played pretty “meh” battling through an injury that should have sidelined him. Sam made a jump his sophomore year and then crashed and burned his last two seasons throwing more INTs than TDs (something Baker has never done). Baker is an average starter (14-18 range) with some upside, while Sam might be able to be a below average backup.
  8. What stats are you talking about? Baker had a great rookie reason with 10 more TDs and 1 less INT after getting drafted by the WORST team in the league with the 1st pick. Second year is where Darnold gets Baker. Baker gets a new interm coach mid season, but still pulls a Winston by throwing 21 INTS. It’s Darnold’s best season with 19 TDs and 13 INTS. Baker crushed Darnold his 3rd year with 26 TDs and only 8 INTs. Darnold only plays 12 games 9 TDs and 11 INTs. Last year Baker STILL beats out Sam with 1 shoulder. Again Sam throws more INTs than TDs. Baker has missed 5 starts to Sam’s 15. Baker wins in career yards/game, QB Rating, completion %, Yards/attempt (basically every stat).
  9. It’s pretty much all about money. If a player makes a racist comment it’s not only incredibly ignorant, but will destroy any trust/respect in the locker room. A general rule for any business/society is to not make racist comments and better yet not be racist. Unfortunately a large number of us fans and players will look the other way on sexual assault/domestic abuse if the player produces on the field. Shame on us for looking the other way (the ones that do) and shame on the NFL for not cracking down on it enough. All they care about is their bottom line like most businesses.
  10. Yep that’s all coachable and expected. His “instincts” they were raving about when he has the ball in his hands are much harder to come by,
  11. As shitty as it sounds I think Carolina is concerned about Baker’s personality clashing in the locker room more than any off the field issues. Watson (appears to be a terrible person) never had any locker room issues that I’m aware of. His teammates typically spoke highly of him.
  12. I enjoy listening to him every now and then. Seems to be a pretty genuine honest person on his takes.
  13. Better hands than Robbie!
  14. The Falcons sure did have a rapid decline ever since he left.
  15. I'm hoping he is just trying to not name starters to keep everyone playing as competitive as possible. Icky should be out LT.
