Well, my theory on why he starts Sam first is that going to Baker then gives him something in order to extend his time.   He can BS why he doesn’t start Baker out of the gate. 

If he starts Baker out of the gate, we suck and the boos come early like last year…he is fired in season.   There are no scapegoats or players this year that would buy him more time if the stadium does what it did last year. 

Baker will start.  Rhule wanted him. But I have said for some time I predict Sam opens on week 1 as the starter and Rhule gets out of him whatever he can first.  He can only get usage out of Sam pre Baker IMO.  

Rhule is going to do Matt Rhule things.  I will keep betting on that. 

No way in hell he doesn't start the guy who can save his job.

So you do want to bet?

Avatar for avatar.  Baker starts week one.

Sure.  I would be delighted to lose that bet.  I don't want to be right.  

I'll only do a week.  I don't want to look at Matt Rhule's face on my profile but for so long.

No way in hell Sam Darnold was suppose to come back and unseat Cam Newton just because Cam had 2 weak/bad games.

Rhule is likely going to mismanage the OL to start the season too.  That's kind of Rhule's thing.  Specifically the QB mismanagement.  I'll keep betting on Rhule being Rhule until he proves he shouldn't be viewed that way.

Cool.  1 week avatar for avatar.  Baker starts week one.

Don't worry I'll come up with something better than Rhule, though that's not a bad idea.

The Ravens let him go for almost nothing. Are we missing something? 

The ravens are preparing for having the highest paid player in the league you gotta cut a few good players out to get that done. I saw an article said they thought he outplayed what they can afford bc he was rated the 11th best center. We got a good center who still in his prime.

Here is something to think about with your brains:

We potentially have 3 QBs on the roster this year better than our starter last year.

You say to yourself, "But silly man--one of the QBs you mention was our starter.  How could this be?"

I say to you, "Yes, but he is possibly better this year.  He has competition.  He has a better OL and OC.  He has to be better than last year."

"And Corral could quite possibly be the second best QB (right now) on this roster, behind only Baker."

    • The issue is there's 16 games worth of tape on Bryce Young. His bad habits are going to be immediately amplified if he reverts to them. Defenses are waiting for it. Also as another poster above rightly pointed out. He's got to start putting some oomph on these passes. That's also on tape. That's why us fans and his first GM who was fired wanted him to get into the weight room at any capacity but he took time off to do nothing. Whatever happens it won't be for a lack of trying. I think Dave Canales is the right hire to work with a QB like Bryce. The issue is we have no idea if he is the right hire to fix the overall offense and team or how he will handle that level of responsibility on gamedays with only one year of coordinating. I think think this is either going to go really well or it's going to spiral. For all the talk of how bad Reich was and yes he was we really got much worse after he was fired and that's what Canales is inheriting. All of this is why I say it is important we have another young QB around just in case. Even a UFA. Also drafting a center for Bryce or whomever. We just need something anything to build on. Sustaining drives and getting into the end zone more often should be goals 1-3. We were h-o-r-r-e-n-d-o-u-s.
    • What Morgan should be focusing on it getting the best players from the draft group that is available to him this year. If that happens to be a defensive player he shouldn't pass on the guy just because he needs offensive talent. Especially if what's available for offensive help is not on the same level of said defensive player. It just comes down to who's still on the board when he picks. Not every position need can or will be addressed in this draft. It simply will not happen because no team is that lucky for one thing and this team is in bad, really bad shape. Secondly, no draft is filled with enough talent to allow for any team to walk away with more than one possible starter and one or two contributors in any one draft. I think everyone needs to curb their expectations about this year's draft.
