Welp, Mayfield just threw the game winner.

Where is the "drooling"? You're imagining stuff. Simply saying Baker looks significantly better after barely over a day in L.A. isn't drooling, it's just acknowledging reality.

Yep. They may be in rebuild mode if Stafford can't bounce back from the injuries. That would've been a crippling trace for them if they do indeed find themselves in rebuild mode.

I wonder what it would be like rooting for a team with coaches that actually tried to tailor their game plans to fit the strengths of their roster?

Baker looks better after 30 hours with McVay than he ever did here. Can't say I'm surprised by that.

Every time I watch the Raiders I'm left thinking that ya know Derek Carr is a pretty decent QB but the Raiders just fuging suck. Props to the Rams for winning the SB because damn, they fuging suck too. They loaded up and went all in and it paid off. Sure wish we'd done that when we had an MVP talent at QB.

A new coach is gonna want a new QB. It's pretty much that simple. If you tell candidates that you're rolling with Corral your candidate pool immediately narrows to guys with no other options

Not gonna happen. An OL isn't gonna win that award, period. An OL on a bad team sure as hell isn't going to win it. He looks like a core piece of this team's future. That's awesome. But he nor any other OL is gonna win OROY.

Not sure I'd call shot in the dark early December mock drafts "linking" him to us. I mean, we don't even know what our organization is going to look like come draft day. I don't think anyone can honestly draw any sort of conclusions about what our draft board might eventually look like.

I guess you missed the deep out off of play action into tight coverage maybe 20% of the way in.

I'm gonna start banning folks for making more Baker threads. Seriously.

Yeah, there were terrible. Curious to see next year if they play better elsewhere. I'm just not seeing much evidence our secondary kids are getting coached up. The worst I've ever seen though was the Tre Boston years. I couldn't tell if he was part of the problem or if he was just having to cover for everyone else's mistakes. In hindsight, the answer to both questions was "yes".

For sure. I won't be surprised to see the Giants all over Richardson. Daboll is the guy who developed Josh Allen.

I've been on the record of saying I love Richardson's talent and potential. With that said, we'd be an awful landing spot for him. The Cam comparisons would come hot and heavy along with those types of expectations. He'd be much better off getting drafted by somebody like the Vikings or the Lions where he could sit and learn behind a decent vet for a year or two without the comparisons to a physically similar former NFL MVP hanging over his head. Cam is his ceiling but let's be honest, Akili Smith is his floor. He's boom or bust. His game is either gonna translate and he's gonna be a stud or it won't and he'll be a total bust. I can't see anything in between. For the record, I said the exact same thing about Cam Newton.

I don't have a jersey from anyone currently on the team. The last jersey I bought was a Luke jersey. I have Cam in all three colors, Luke, Jake in black and white, Smitty in blue and white, and Peppers in all three colors.

Pretty much the entire UNC secondary is entering the portal. I'm serious to see how they play elsewhere. None of them lived up to their recruiting billing. I seriously think Dre Bly should be replaced as the DB coach. Keep him on the staff in some way, even if it's as a dedicated recruiter but the DBs just did not play well and showed no development under him and I don't blame them for bailing.

Stop. Making. New. Baker. Threads.

This dude is gutter trash saved at UNC by having two elite QBs. His red zone plays calling makes Mike Shula look like Andy Reid.

Damn y'all. We don't need a new Baker Mayfield thread everyday. Pick one of the multiple ones that already exist.

The difference is that Cam and DJ had/have the ability. Sam Darnold doesn't. He has the physical tools but he's not a QB between the ears. He doesn't see the field like a QB. He doesn't process the information quick enough. He can't revert to instinct and get out of his thinking mind. I don't think it can be taught. You either have it or you don't. He doesn't. He has done a great job of maximizing what he had to work with and translating that to wealth. Good for him. I ain't mad at him. But I don't feel sorry for him either.

Imagine having Sam Darnold's bank account. I'd manage.

He's a bad QB but I have zero issues with Sam Darnold the person and wish him nothing but the best.

The Mannings already blocked Eli from going to the Chargers because they were such a dumpster fire of an organization. Doesn't bode well for the Panthers.

He's the same age as the typical 2nd or 3rd year rookie right now. If he was the real deal he's be lighting it up in college. Guys like Trask and Pickett don't have near the talent and put up video game numbers because they were literal men amongst boys. Levis still put up JAG stats in that same situation.
