He's really no better than Sam

Oh he is definitely better than Sam Darnold. The problem is that is a low bar to hit. Is he better enough to matter? Unlikely.

I am fine getting Baker but it needs to be pretty affordable and not with a contract extension or any othet ignorant BS. A price that isn't steep and a real out if it doesn't work.

Not Teddy/Sam Contract 3.0

Exactly. And Baker had 3 all-pro lineman in front of him

2020 Mayfield was pretty darn good

I’d rather Baker and Cross at 6 than Duane Brown and Pickett at 6 

I can’t think of any faster way to lock the team in nfl purgatory than this right here

id honestly just disengage entirely

With the torn labrum and the 5th year option/potentially hitting FA if he plays well it's a waste of time/another gamble. Plus he's generally dislikable and I'm already sick of him from all those commercials

[Bronn]

Y’all realize he and Sam have the exact same salary right?

The Browns, and no other team, want Sam Darnold. 
 

We have like 20M cap space. Baker would take 18. 
 

No.

sounds like a perfect fit!

We already did enough damage trading for Sam and picking up his 5th year option. If Rhule does something like that again with Baker then it's going to be soul crushing.

At best I could think of a 3 way trade for us to get baker and a pick, and ship Darnold and that pick to the Texans or whoever. But why wouldn't the Texans/whoever just bypass us and send Baker directly somewhere else? If we didn't sign Sams option we could have gotten the 4th back and Baker but too late for that

Darnold QBR 2021 - 33.2

Mayfield - 35.1

lol QBR, you mean that metric made up by ESPN to push their narratives? Yeah, that's not the metric i'd use if trying to make a point.

I think they've already signed Jacobi Brissett to be their backup.

Another team with a backup that's better than our starter

Don't want a guy with throwing shoulder problems....plus seems like he is a problem child.
