Quarterback Battle?

  1. 1. What do you want?

    • Completely open QB competition. Best player starts (even if its Darnold)
    • Its Bakers job to lose.

Why though? Baker is better than all of them. Matt might one day be lightyears better ... but right now he's not ... at all. Sam and PJ aren't even close to Baker's level (which isn't that high sadly).

Then Baker should win the competition hands down. Everyone deserved the chance to compete and if Datbold is the best in camp then he should start. McAdoo wont be looking at last year at all. It is all about the now.

I don't believe in handing anything to anyone who hasn't performed for us.

No matter how badly PJ and Sam may have performed they have earned the right to fight for their job.

Sam and Baker have been auditioning every time they've stepped on the field.  They are not going to look at camp alone.  They are going to consider previous play and in that, Baker has the head start.  If Baker has not recovered and stinks up camp, then Sam could take it.  I don't see that happening.

Yeah but if he is obviously better than it should show immediately. What is the risk of a competition?

Because all they have to look at would be practice. Practice doesn’t always translate into actual game performances, especially with Darnold. If Baker has a lingering injury or is way rusty that’s one thing, but starting a QB who has proven he can’t start because he looks good in practice doesn’t make sense to me…

I think this this is such an interesting situation. You have a head coach that knows that his job depends on his QB. So he absolutely needs to make sure he fields the best person.. not the most popular one. 

Baker has the better stats. Darnold has arguably more talent. With your job on the line, it will be interesting to see the choice.

If I had to tier/rank the QBs in terms of best option come week 1. 

Contra Cheat God Mode QB: PJ Walker.  You can't die.  You can't lose. 

Average/Competent NFL QB: Baker

Rookie/Developmental QB: Corral 

Drunk Jimmy Clausen on Steriods: Sam Darnold

Clausen numbers

Darnold after week 4:

55.4 completion percentage

TD-INT  4-10

If Corral outplays them in practice that’s different than Sam IMO. Corral hasn’t proven he can’t start like Sam has and he will only get better (in theory) as the season progresses. So basically I’m ok with a competition between Corral and Mayfield, just not Sam because we already know what he is and it’s not good…
