I don't understand the Corral argument. If Baker doesn't have us in playoff hunt, Corral will start two or three games at end of year to give us a look and possible momentum for next season. 

holy poo, 2 or 3 games.  Wow, you mean just like with Brady christenson.  That worked out aces

I think once Baker clearly beats Darnold then Matt and Darnold will probably get equal reps if not Matt getting more.  This is a season to groom Matt and let him learn the playbook and the vocabulary and go through mental reps and if he continues to improve and develop their hope is for him to step into the starting qb spot next season.  Thats my take anyways.

There's only so much you can do with "mental reps." You need full speed, game speed reps against a team that spent all week preparing for you.

Can't fault the team for always trying. Some work out, some don't. Who knew Teddy wouldn't be as good as expected. We gave more picks for Sam because we got him before the draft and Baker is damaged good and in a no win situation from his team, that's why we got him cheap. 

I hope there's a QB battle. Imagine Sam wins 😉

He’s desperate. Baker is not the answer. This move will cost us a legit QB in the draft.

At this rate we’ll be in QB purgatory until the 2030’s.

We werent going to be in the running for a top 3 pick regardless of what sports illustrated or whoever said.  Our roster is improved fairly drastically since last year and we were barely in the top 10 then.

Not gonna lie, did not want Baker. But at that price, who could even be mad? He's immediately our best QB and has shown WAY more than Darnold ever has............all for a 2024 5th rounder and 5 mil. I'll take it.

This is classic rhule/fitterer "lets keep throwing poo against the wall" instead of having a plan.   I am so disgusted right now.  This is the 3rd poo qb this moronic franchise has wasted resources on instead of drafting and playing someone.

What would your plan be?  Throwing in Matt before hes ready just because you want him to be is the definition of throwing poo at the wall.

It's pretty great value if they think one of those guys can be the franchise QB

Not to mention, we’d have never got baker for that cheap if we hadn’t spent that third on Corral imho. We’d have probably had to spend the third just to get Baker.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By MHS831 · Posted

      I see Bryce's development this way: He improved when his supporting cast improved.  TMac and Dowdle saved his arse last year, but in fairness, most good QBs have good WRs and good RBs--and good OLs.   The 2025 OL underperformed, actually. They were above average, but they should have been elite if you consider the salary cap.   As soon as we signed Lewis and Hunt, I started thinking, "That's not sustainable.  With Ickey about to get paid a LT salary, Moton and Hunt grabbling $50m per season combined, and Lewis around $17m--that would be nearly $100m and the Center just walked.  Yikes.  What does that mean?  Rico walks, Mays walks, and we do not have a top 5 WR on a second contract.  We do not have an elite TE, and only 1 is on a modest second contract. And now Bryce will demand $50m for his incremental rise to mediocrity?   So when we sign Bryce, we will get weaker at other positions.  Hunt, Moton, maybe Ickey and Lewis, will all be casualties--that is the right move regardless (not sure yet about Ickey, but he was not elite) Bryce is one lucky, entitled camper.  No competition since being drafted, and he lost his job for a while to the aging clipboard holder.  Now we are bringing in UDFAs and busts to compete with him.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      Probably not.  If we are taking a QB, it would be a prospect to replace Bryce and not a flyer type player.  I can't say for sure, but I doubt he would have cracked the top 3-4 QBs even if he were to play this coming season.

      The Giants, Cardinals  and Dolphins should have moved on, but they didn't and ended up cutting their QB early into a monster second contract and had to eat a TON of dead cap money.
