How much would you trade for Baker for 1 year rental?

I am not sure Baker gives us the best chance to win now.  His 2021 play paralleled Darnold's.  Darnold has been sharp and determined in camp (I know--the bullets aren't flying yet).  And Corral is on deck.  Baker gives Corral little to no hope of seeing the field in 2022--so if he does not play, how do we evaluate him entering the 2023 draft?  In my opinion, you do not build by bringing in rentals that bury your developmental players.

I see your argument, but Mayfield had a better year than Darnold by quite a bit, all while being injured for a majority of the year. I’d get Mayfield and dump Darnold. Let MC develop behind Mayfield. Mayfield has actually seen success in the NFL. Darnold hasn’t.

A 3rd and 4th would be worth the cost to eat his cap and the eat Sam's after we cut him. 2nd sounds fair. Not even sure a straight up swap with Sam is really good enough. I don't care about either of those turds. The only QB I am interested in seeing play next year is Corral.

How many moronic Baker threads can be made here?

How about

"Will Bakers eyes match the away uniforms better than the home"

"What commercials do you think Baker would make if he comes to Charlotte"

"Will he and wife go on vacays with CMC and his hot GF"

 

How long can this summer be?

Sink or swim with Darnold. 

 

And that's the exact reason we are looking at Mayfield.  Despite Rhule's coachspeak on riding with Darnold, I don't think he's 100% sold on Tepper keeping his word about seeing this through until at least year five.  Rhule knows he needs a winning season and Darnold most likely can't deliver that.  Baker most likely will.

These next four weeks are going to be brutal.  I doubt we make it out of this week before a "new uniforms" thread pops up.  That's when you know it's officially summer.

I got us with 6 wins with Darnold and 9 wins with Baker.  Wins (either QB): Browns (minus Watson), Giants, Saints (home), Falcons (home), Seattle and Detroit.  Wins that Baker gives us over Darnold:  *49ers, Falcons (road) and Saints (road).

* A healthy Jimmy G isn't starting.

Now, one can question 'are those extra wins worth it for a one-year rental?'  For Matt Rhule, the answer is abso-freaking-lutley.

      Lol. The Texans are literally one of Bryce's six career NFL wins. WTF are you talking about?

      Yeah, I mean it is a statistical fact and also part of literally a player evaluation. Winston has literally lost dozens of games in his NFL career due to crippling TO's. It's just who he is. Look, it's fun when those insane throws work and he is leading you back from some crazy deficit. But those success are rare. It's why his career GWD count is so low. He's fun but he is fundamentally built to lose games.  If you are talking about a backup QB, you are literally already losing in the first place. That's how you see a backup QB and that's overwhelmingly what they tend to do. Rookie QB's almost always benefit from veteran QB's. Same as literally any other position in the NFL. Why do you think that you so often hear that from the playera themselves? As for Bryce NEEDING one, no he sure as poo shouldn't this late in the game. But he also shouldn't have needed this fuging long to get his fuging footwork straightened out either. Yet here we are.

      Comfortability is the primary reason. They don't want to hurt Bryce's confidence. But I say if his confidence is that fragile that healthy competition which makes everyone better is enough for them to keep making Andy Dalton rich then Bryce was never going to be the guy anyway. Give me the QB who sees the competition amongst his peers and uses it to take it to the next level. Instead we get the guy who comes out looking like a deer in the headlights against the Texans after we've done everything possible to appease him. Definition of complacency.
