He's the difference between Baker and Darnold.   Darnold has a lot of the tools to be a good NFL QB, but hasn't shown it outside of flashes here and there.  Baker has most of the tools a guy needs to be successful as a NFL QB, HAS shown it, proved it, but hasn't done it consistently.

Define "put it together".  What does that even mean?  Say his stats mimic his 2020 season and we win 8-10 games.  Then what?

If Baker comes here and leads this team to 10 wins that would be incredible.  We would be in the playoffs and that would be 100% increase in the amount of wins we've had the last 2 seasons.  Who WOULDN'T want that, is the question?

So we take a swing at another proven bad qb?  We already have one of those but he doesn't have a sh!tty attitude. 

This FO is so desperate that they will throw assets at any scrub qb. Baker is just as useless as Sam but here we go digging the latrine deeper. I'm so tired of this bullsh!t.

Agree - heck at least we’d have a playoff winning QB on the roster.  If he sucks, then we pick top 10 next year and grab another Qb.  Gotta swing until you hit

Baker doesn’t suck like Sam.  Baker probably gets us to like 7-10.  Maybe 8-9.  And then what do you do.  Extend Baker and not draft a QB?  Anyone trust what this group will do if Baker gets them to 7 or 8 wins?

Me. Are we rebuilding or recycling? They can keep their failure.

Thats my entire point, trading for baker just sets up a headache down the road.

Be prepared for an extension for Baker and Rhule if they get 8 wins.

If we win 10 games (and come on I was being generous) are you comfortable giving him a 5 year deal at the going qb rate?   You want to lock yourself into Mayfield for 5 fuging years?   Lets say he says peace out I aint signing, you going to franchise tag baker effing mayfield?

Mayfield should've been out most of the season. I don't even like his attitude about his inury. He hurt his team by not riding the pine. He was injured though, make no mistake...more than 25 percent of his career.

Sounds familiar. Much like the Cam Newton situation, doesn't the coaching staff bear a fair amount of responsibility for not giving the player the hook if an injury is obviously causing an issue with playing ability?

I dont think this team trades for Baker as a long term solution. They wouldnt have invested in MC if that was the case. They are most likely attempting to get a better bridge than Darnold. As much as we all know Baker aint it, he is closer on the spectrum than SD is. 

It would take a trip to NFC championship game for Baker to be considered for an extension.

We're not your damn dumping ground!  We HAVE a new QB and he has more OTAs and training camp and preseason to get up to speed. That's plenty AND others have done it. No b**ch ass'dness! No coddling! Let's GO! 

Engine #9 or top five next draft. THAT'S what needs to happen.

This is nonsense!

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By strato · Posted

      I guess I should have stipulated outside the sacred cow.   I complained from year one that Bryce should compete for and win the starting job on his own merit but no he was just handed it. I have been right there with everyone that wants competition.  But I don’t really have a huge problem with it for this season the way it has gone because where are the viable people we don’t have to trade for? I actually am okay with tiny hands Pickett because he is so close to Bryce arm strength wise and to be honest, skill wise. Probably. And it is only a one year deal.  That also takes I to account that the QB class is looking stacked next year and if Young fails miserably then we get either a reset or a real competition and there will be more guys that I would like looking at in the FA QB class next year as well.    I sort of accept where we are this year and look at it as a treading water year. I just want to get to next year with some clarity. More than anything. And they did empty out the room. Again, who was really there for us?  And I know it would not be a true competition at this point anyway. They are giving him the year, like it or not.    Also I don’t give a poo about winning games IF he sucks and or goes down after sucking because draft position and that stacked QB class.  And I want out from under him So Bad.     So I guess it is several factors that lessen my anxiety over his backup this particular season.    I am not trying to convince anyone, but you asked.

      think these smaller Qb's are going to have a much harder time convincing an NFL team to draft them. not saying a smaller Qb under 6 feet tall will not make an NFL roster .it will most likely be a UDFA contract more or less prove it deal.NFL teams have been burnt time & time again investing in these small NFL Qbs & i think  teams are now finally starting to realize that investing in these smaller Qb's under 6 feet tall is simply a bad idea  ...just saying
