With the turnovers, Baker is a lesser Jameis if we’re being real. Most in here don’t want Jameis, so we should definitely leave Baker alone. 

I'd take Jameis over Baker...

...that said, either are better than any other option we currently have.

I’d take Jameis over Baker, but I want neither. Would’ve took either a year ago, but now I’d rather go the draft route.

No to Baker!

Why is it you can assemble a group of fans from every losing NFL team that can outperform their front office in the draft?

He's on his 5th year so it's the same money we're paying now for Sam, that's the issue for me. I'd rather have Minshew for the same trade with less cap hit

That's right, he is on his 5th year so that is even better. No risk at all.

Baker is definitely a more accomplished guy but if we could get Minshew cheaply, I wouldn't be against that either. 

Probably preferable, TBH.

So we are going from taking the jets trash qb to now taking the browns trash qb?   Godalmighty this is a nightmare

 

“If you can't spot the sucker in your first half-hour at the table, then you are the sucker.” 

Mayfield has for sure been a better QB than Darnold. If the deal is them taking Darnold and us taking Mayfield (bc they have no leverage) I would definitely take that deal. Darnold holds zero value for us anymore. Mayfield is the same for them. The contracts are basically the same. I sure as heck don’t want to watch the Darnold/Cam carousel this year…and I’m not sold on the rookies. Which, by the way if we take a QB in the draft it could set us back years if they sucks.

    • So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?
    • Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.
    • Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
