It's imperative that he makes a big step this season. Need him to be a guy.

He has potential to be a big time RZ threat.

Darnold nearly threw a RZ INT

When Sam threw an int on first down,  the first play of the MN game, with plenty of time to throw, giving the ball to MN on our 22,  all hope was gone.  Sorry Sam.  I just can't watch you anymore.

Baker will wipe the floor with Corral but I agree he should be getting the reps over Darnold.

Baker should wipe the floor, but i wouldn't bet on him being able to. would not be a cake walk and that has more to do with Corrall than Baker.

Sheena saying Horn appears ok. No noticeable limp or a boot or anything 

[davos]

The vids of all 3 throwing makes it hard not to see Corral's advantage with that arm and quickness.  Holy heck.

I know Baker and Darnold were high R1 for a reason but they look so much more labored throwing than Matt.

For comparison Darnold:

         TD-INT

2018 - 5-0

2019 - 8-1

2020 - 2-1

2021 - 6-1

Total - 21-3

Baker is over 3x more likely to get to the red zone and 3x less likely to throw a pick once he gets there. 

I really don't understand the people that think Baker isn't a SIGNIFICANT upgrade over Darnold. It's not even that Baker is Elite, it's just that Sam is THAT BAD.

He has to realize that potential. This needs to be the year.

Precisely this. It isn't that Baker is amazing, Darnold is fuging awful.

Well, considering he is the only effective LB we have, better he try to stay healthy than push it. 17 games is a long slog.

For all the talk about guys have to earn their spots and the guys from last year starting, there's this:
