I agree with everything Bucky is saying..

A true competition.. Let Baker tap into The Baker that loved to compete.. And let the chips fall as they may.

DJ makes a great point.  Baker didn't give up 3.5 million to sit on the bench and be a backup with zero chance to invigorate his career.  I think at the very least he is starting QB going into camp and he'd have to really suck to lose to Darnold.

As far as Brooks concern about training camp.  If Mayfield expects to be the starter going into Camp he better get his ass into the playbook and be ready for camp.

They probably promised that he'd get a fair shot, that is all, and that probably appealed to Baker's sense of competition like Bucky said, or his arrogance. He was also ready to move on from the Mistake By The Lake at all costs, and 3.5 mil was a relatively small amount to sacrifice for one whose probably a top level backup at worst.

Competition is relative.  I suspect Baker has a strong confidence going into campl

Didnt Jonathon Jones (?) already confirm this?

Channel that inner walk on... every QB on the roster should be digging down to find that guy. If one of them isn't willing to fight for the job, then that guy isn't going to fight to win on the field with this team.

We need a QB with spark. Hopefully one of them will find it. 

I hope Baker plays lights out. I hope Sam finds what he was missing a thrives. Heck, I hope PJ Walker finds Green Lantern's ring and somehow becomes a decent NFL QB.

But in all honesty, there's still a chance with any of those guys that by mid-season we may be starting Matt Corrall. Those guys are all second (or third) chancers in an unforgiving league where the opponents are actively teeing off on your faults and blind spots, where old injuries are targeted, where your coaches are on the hot seat.

Tough, tough situation. Whoever finds their inner Delhomme can win in this situation with this particular team.
