Oh, I know. 

Why do you think I don't entertain my dark side....

 

This team makes it impossible to find any hope for the future.  I've lost all hope of having a team to cheer for and be proud of.  It's not even funny anymore.

This is one dumb move. I don’t even care about the money of it. He is a douche and won’t command respect. He’s not good enough. If fitterer is pushing it, he definitely loses some respect and goodwill from me despite an otherwise strong offseason.

If absolutely nothing else....that first game vs. the Browns would be instant "must-see tv." Like how does that not get bumped to Prime Time?

I'm really conflicted on this. A lot depends on what we would give up for him, what happens with Sam (see ya) and how my dude Corral progresses. I'm not ready to riot....because I think that Baker would instantly give us the 2nd best QB in the NFC South. And this is behind a completely revamped O-line, with a healthy CMC.

The only way I get pissed at this is if we give up anything higher than a 4th for him. 

That’s the big thing, either the Brown eat a huge part of his salary and they get a decent draft pick, they pick up no salary and might even have to give the other team some draft capital to take on the contract or we do a straight swap of Darnold for Baker where we might toss in an additional 5th. It’s more about the $ when it comes to Baker and Darnold who have identical 5th year option numbers of $18 million.

You missed the major point of the post that Baker is not much better than Sam. It's not a big enough upgrade to justify trading for him. 

I get it you love Baker because you don't really realize that football is a team sport and Baker was in a great situation in Cleveland. 

 

I love it when people post stuff like this saying you hate this guy or love that guy. I've got receipts playa. Actually I've been steadfast against the Baker acquisition but with training camp now upon us I also do not wish to see the worst starting QB of the last several years play another down for my favorite football team so as a fan thanks to mgmt decisions this is the mess I have to deal with.

Thats fantastic because we just drafted a qb that we had a first round grade on

This is concerning within itself.  If that is true then it appears that we were the only team to have a grade higher than a 3rd, if even that high on him.  First round grade my ass.

Anderson and Darnold for Mayfield and a 2023 4th.

Everyone gets a new start.  We save 2m this year on Anderson and 12m next year (although there will be some dead money involved).

Corral has a chance to learn the ropes and maybe get a few starts at year-end.  Who knows, maybe Mayfield turns into a comp pick for us if he plays well this year.

Cleveland gets a playable QB to back up Brissett/Watson for the same amount of money Baker was going to cost sitting on the bench, while getting rid of a locker room distraction.  They also get Anderson to add to a very thin WR room.  They have 8 picks next year including 2 4ths and 2 5ths, so the draft pick will not hurt (but will be pretty important for us, given we are already down a 3rd).

Possibly. I don't mind just watching a moderately more competent QB at this point. The odds are we are going to be pretty bad in 2022, so at least some level of intrigue would make the games watchable for a while.

But, I would say the same about Corral starting, as well.

I agree that the odds of us going to the Superbowl are a tad short of possible, but I don't agree with bringing Mayfield or any QB in to replace our starting QB with very little, if any, upside. A significant upside yes, making a lateral QB move, to me, is pointless...

Doesn't bother me much.  Most teams simply did not need a QB.  For example, he may have been graded as a 2nd round talent by GB, but no way they pick a QB.

I was a little surprised WA and TB passed on him in the 3rd, but glad we got him.

Most mocks had him in the late first, second round range, so I think at worst he'll be a solid backup.

      Thoughts on using AI for drafting?

      Why? AI already taking jobs, running up power bills, drinking all the water and just bad for the environment but hey lest try to shoehorn another useless way to use it.

      2026 Mock Drafts

      By Soul Rebel · Posted

      I'm going rogue in R1 but there's so much confusion around us. Last year, we were going Walker or Williams and caught folks off guard with TMac. The previous year we LOVED Legette and it was no surprise when his name was called. This year, I think we nail three areas that weren't totally addressed in FA.  R1 - Kayden McDonald Full disclosure, I want Thienemann here, but think he goes before 19. Some might see an "overdraft" but McDonald unlocks so many people on our D. Having a DT the caliber of McDonald let's Lloyd, Wallace and the newly drafted Hill flood the offensive backfield. Also opens up Moehrig and our EDGES to eat. Lastly, it also removes all the pressure on DB to be the primary facilitator in the trenches and A'Shawn will be missed. I don't care about Turk. McDonald is the only true DT worth of a R1 grade and Morgan seals up our trenches here w/ a kid from a blue blood school. R2 - Anthony Hill Jr *trade up*  I love JRod, but think a smart team takes him at the end of R1 (Seattle, NE w/ two d-minded coaches). Hill, Jr is a beast and lost in the shuffle with all the Styles/Allen/Rodriguez hype. He and Lloyd with DB and McDonald up front and flanked by Scourton/Phillips is nasty.  R3 - Hecht/Lew/Center du jour Let's stop the madness with ignoring this position in the draft. We need one and should start normalizing the capital invested in our OL with someone on a draft contract. He won't need to start day 1, but I think the right selection will push for starter reps. R4 - Bud Clark Not sure if he's here in R4 where we pick, but would fit the "type" of FS/roamer that we need opposite Moehrig and Ransom. Allows us to run 3-safety looks and really keep teams guessing with personnel packages. R5 - Kendrick Law The kind of WR we need. IDK if he's any different than Horn, Jr or Metchie but Law could be a dart throw that brings a deep threat to our WR corps I'm guessing one of the R5 picks is used to move up in R2 along with a '27 day 3 pick.   Post-draft, I sign Njoku to bring in a vet at TE. I'm also keeping my eyes open for pre-week 1 team cuts for a young CB that we could bring in to maybe plan for Mike Jack's departure next year. Flame away.... I know the McDonald pick will not make people happy.

      By rebelrouser · Posted

      Classic example on what AI is not currently good for.  It will create a baseline of statistics (which are fine but must be used alongside tape and other evals) and partner that with every rumor mongering dips*&$t on the web.
