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.

Speaking objectively...

This is a really well administered trade when you look at what we gave up and what we're paying.

Speaking personally...

I'm not a Baker Mayfield fan, but I'll hope for the best.

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.

Im not stressing this because the investment is pretty low. I just feel like if corral is ready he needs to play deep down.

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.

Quit complaining lets fuging go. We have a quarterback that lead the fuging browns on a playoff run two years ago. He now has the best line hes ever had with weapons across the board.

you are high

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.

Excellent signing for the Panthers. Middle-of-the-road QB (when healthy) = easily the second best QB in the division.

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. 

[Double Trouble]

desperation move. I don't mind the price of a 2024 conditional 5th, but doesn't feel like there's any sort of long term vision. What good does winning 8-9 games this year instead of 5-6 do?
