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.

    • As much as I despise Billy B, his philosophy on QBs is how I would approach things if I were a GM. You always keep looking for your next starter.  He has Bledsoe, who got injured and his backup ended up being the GOAT. Even while he had that going, he kept getting his next guy and developing them. When Brady got hurt, Cassel stepped in and went 11-5 and they missed the wild card by dumb luck. Who knows how far they would have gone if they had gotten in. Jimmy Gs career started in NE. There were others, but he always kept looking.  You can't be afraid to keep looking for your next starter, but it looks like we're afraid to look for more than a marginal one. If you're going to offer a $25m contract with incentives, that screams marginal QB. It also screams you're just a transition until we find our guy. After a 10 or 11 win season, he's not accepting that offer. And then you're in a Daniel Jones situation. Do you pay for a year of success and pray it wasn't a one year wonder?  To this point, Bryce has really produced nothing, yet for whatever reason, our FO has not even sniffed at the idea that we need a real QB room with real QBs. Dalton was never starter potential, Plummer was a joke. KP certainly isn't, neither is Grier.  Our approach to the QB room needs to be one of strength not fear. Bring in guys who can compete or who you think can compete. This is THE elite position, in an elite sport, paid premium salary, where production matters. Either you produce or you can lose your job. It's not mean, it's just the reality of the position.  And I'm really just tired of our candy ass approach to it. 
    • If you plug Bryce onto the Pro Bowl roster you might have a chance to compete for a SB. If he's surrounded by top tier talent with a top tier defense on the other side, a field flipping punter, and a kicker good from 60+ you might have a chance. But that means you basically have to recreate Saban's Bama in the NFL and that's impossible... and Bryce couldn't win a championship in that environment either. What the Panthers didn't realize when they got so obsessed with his "PG mentality" was that what they were looking st was a "barely checks the box PG". The basketball equivalent of Bryce would be an undersized PG with marginal athleticism who can make the basic plays but adds nothing to the team in terms of elevating the overall team. Not a great shooter, not a great defender, not a great driver. Just a guy who can basically get you into the offense and be a matador on defense. Basically a placeholder while you look to upgrade the PG position.
