I really think we are going to pass more with McAdoo as OC and Baker at QB. 

Wasn't that the whole disconnect between Rhule and Brady? Brady wanted to pass more and Rhule wanted to run more.

I'd be surprised if Rhule backs off of being a run-first team.

We pretty much completely sucked at both.  Would your plan be to have Sam throw more?

Im not even sure the offense is that much improved unless Baker steps his game up. These are the numbers from last year without factoring in Baker was on a playoff ready roster and Darnold was on one of the worst coached teams in the league with no OL. I know darnold sucks with or without an OL, but still. 

Baker: 60.5% 3010 yards,17TDs, 13ints Badthrow% 20.9 OnTarget% 73.6
Darnold :59% 2527 yards,9TDs 13ints Badthrow% 18.5 OnTarget% 74.5

Was darnold playing injured with a coach that was getting him killed on purpose every week? Did you watch that last Steelers game. He didn’t even attempt to protect his qb. 

I'd love an additional 500 yards and 8 touchdowns.  We lost 6 games alone by less than a score.

Baker was actually sacked 43 times last year, while Sam was sacked 35.  Neither line was really kicking ass, the Browns were down both tackles at one point.

Yes but what is he basis that off of?  He has to be pulling the numbers from somewhere? 

Don't know where his numbers come from.  I know the deep ball project has similar conclusions, that Baker is in the top tier for deep ball accuracy each year. 

He's at PFF so they have their own thing I guess.

It kind of makes sense though.  He had a good OL and strong running game where they could utilize his strong arm on PA plays.  His arm also got him into some trouble forcing some throws.

Baker has had flashes

Baker's highest completion percentage games:
2021, Houston 90.4 (19-21)
2018, Atlanta 85.0 (17-20)
2020, New York Giants 84.4 (27-32)

Baker had a 5 TD game against Cincinnati in 2020.  That's like half of what Darnold did all last year.

Baker's highest passer rating games:
2018, Atlanta 151.2
2020, Tennessee 146.9

So, I think what we can HOPEFULLY say is that last year was an injury ravaged aberration in his career, and that before last year, he was maybe one of the most successful Number 1 overall picks in NFL history.  Im very interested to see how this all plays out.

    • I can't help but think that you are equating physical attributes alone with wins. I don't subscribe to that thought. No one will argue that Young has a strong arm, but he makes up for it in other ways. The real limitation for him is he needs good route runners with great hands. That's why Young was so good at the end of the 24 season. Thielen and Coker were perfect receivers for him and he had his best games with them. Not having them to start the 25 season hurt. Look at the first 10 games in 25 with a rookie receiver and no Coker and then look at the final 7 games with a more experienced rookie and Coker back and there is a telling difference in Young's performance. Prior to week 10, Young had 1 game with a QB rating above 100, 2 games with a rating above 90 and 6 games with a rating below 90. In the last 7 games with Coker back, Young had 3 games with a QB rating above 100, 2 games with a rating above 90 and only 2 games with a rating below 90. The tools a QB has to work with matter more than their arm strength.  To go back to Darnold and Stafford, yes they both have great arm strength but neither had much success with that alone. As I already pointed out, Stafford, even with a canon for an arm, only had 4 winning seasons in his first 12 years. It was only when he went to the right environment that he had true success.
    • I don't love this role for him if I'm being totally honest The pregame show is much more flash than substance and doesn't seem like the right fit for what Luke would bring to the table, and that's his vision of the game. I'd like to see him do something where it more involves him breaking down film and explaining what he's seeing out there, as he sees the game in a way very few ever have.
