The only reason I know this whole competition thing is done is that even when Baker has a so-so/bad day Darnold finds a way to have his “Hold my beer” moment. 

The QB competition has been over since Baker was announced starter for preseason game 1. You can tell by today's snap count, this is no longer a competition. Sam is the backup QB.

We're all over it. I'm cool with Darnold as the backup or getting rid of him. Whatever. This season hinges on Baker, seriously.

Give him a chance to cook. If he fails, it's on to Corral and/or 2023 anyway.

Everybody saying the QB competition is over. Incoming huddle meltdown when darnold starts with the 1s tomorrow 🤣

That's kind of the thing though.

The competition really may be over (or at least should be) but practice reps are still being devoted to it.

It's kinda stupid.

Today's practice was not indicative of that though. Mac and Baker pretty had the same reps, and the same with Sam and Hoyer. Zappe/PJ/Corral were limited today. 

Baker was treated like the #1 today, reps included.

    • Give me Anthony Hill Jr or give me death
    • We need a Sam Off Ball Backer to pair with Lloyd. Lloyd is a strong Interior Will especially in Pass Coverage- but that is also Trevin Wallace’s archetype. Need a Rozeboom style run stopper. Rodriguez and Allen fit that
    • There aren’t that many ways to screw Day 2 up.  That’d be them making an obvious reach, or selecting at one of the few positions that we are pretty solid at. Because as excited as we are for the growth and improvement this team is showing, it’s still not an overly talented or deep roster. Honestly, there aren’t really many positions I’d feel bad about. Feelings about Bryce aside (because we are not going to select a QB), it’s really RB (bad positional value) and that’s it. I guess OT too since we grabbed Freeling in Round 1.    While not as high on my wish list as other spots, you can justify WR or TE.     Interior offensive lineman who would likely take over an interior spot either this year (at center) or guard (next for cap casualty of Hunt or Lewis)? Fine by me.   Dlineman? Yes, that’s a highly rotational position and we have zero quality depth.    ILB? Yep, could stand for an upgrade over Wallace.    EDGE? Absolutely wouldn’t hate another option to spell Phillips, Scourton, and Princely.    FS?  Would love to add better coverage skill set to the backend of the defense. Moehrig and Ransom are great in run support but not as good deep. Adding a more traditional FS would allow us to mix and match/run some 3 safety sub packages and or a big nickel type look with a SS down near the line for better run support in possible pass downs.    CB? Could stand to get better at nickel.
