Other than last year, if he duplicates the previous years id be totally down to sign him to a 3 year deal. I don’t think you would want anything more than that to see how he does, and you are not crippled if things don’t work out. The thing with Baker is that you know he is talented, he Can lead grown men, has an alpha mentality, and you know what his floor is. I don’t think a 3 year deal for someone like him will be something that will haunt us if it does not work out. It totally depends on his performance this year, but it is a very low risk/high reward move. Dude is on another level compared to Teddy/Sam “Gumby” Darnold and I can say that with complete confidence before he even takes a regular season snap for us.

Nah, he's really only had one good year. If he can show promise like that one, then great. Two out of the other three were pedestrian, and last year was bad. I would only pay him if he can show the promise of his playoff season.

You don’t consider his rookie year a good year? Wasn’t he setting rookie records? Last year he shouldn’t have been playing.

I see a great rookie year (for a rookie), sophomore slump where he threw way too many INTs, 3rd year he was great, and 4th year he shouldn’t have been playing (banged up pretty bad in week 2).

Our 2023 FA starter level options are Jimmy G, Baker, Sam, and Teddy. I'm guessing only few teams are even looking for a FA starter next year. If he plays to 2018 level even I think you either sign him or blow the whole thing up coaches included and start from scratch again

It was good for a rookie.

Yeah we either sign him, draft one from the loaded class, or roll with Corral. We have some options.

More I think about it it's either Baker plays well and gets a contract, or we blow it up, let the new staff draft a qb and sign Brissett/Keenum/Minshew/whoever as the vet 3rd QB for camp

Yeah we might not even need a vet 3rd QB depending on how our staff looks. Let the rookie and Corral battle it out.

Most teams were set. They either had an entrenched starter or a young guy they still have faith in. Washington probably should have waited instead of going with Wentz but they didn't. That left the Panthers and Seahawks as possibilities. The next question was do those teams want to tank or take a shot. It isn't like this was a fantasy draft and everyone needed a QB. Dolphins think Tua can be the man, we'll see. Lions can't get out of the Goff contract. Giants are giving Jones a go and if some of these don't work out Mayfield is a free agent next year and they get a year to see him play healthy and make that decision.

Of course the 20 teams committed to their QB aren't interested in him as a starter. Mayfield wasn't interested ion being a backup.

Just because the Bills, Bengals, Chargers, Raiders, Chiefs, Cowboys etc... didn't go after doesn't mean that he is looked at as garbage, they already have a starter. There is only 1 starting QB per team.

Teams don’t ‘commit’ with a QB they think is worse or has a worse projected future than one on the open market going for peanuts. Legit QBs at any age do not have such little interest, and aren’t traded for nothing. There are always exceptions but the only reason that makes sense is tanking and what we should’ve done 4 years ago but regardless, saying the lack of interest in taking a chance from teams who are already ‘committed’ to a garbage QB shouldn’t just be brushed off as meaning nothing.

Huh?  His first year he set the rookie TD record while not even playing the first 2.5 games.  His second year was Freddie Kitchens so that wasn't on him.  3rd year he was a top 10 QB and won a playoff game.  4th year - hurt all year.  So, he has had one truly bad year.

Who are these teams with garbage QBs? (don't include 1 or 2 year 1st round rookies)

      Veteran CB trying out for Panthers

      By frankw · Posted

      I like Jaycee a lot and appreciate his leadership but to say he's above Ramsey right now is based on hopium let's be realistic. He's got a great deal to prove this season. I’m hoping to see that he firmly establishes himself amongst his peers.

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By WhoKnows · Posted

      It’s amazing how simple it is. When you are winning 2-7 games for 7 straight years, you’d think people would understand that just drafting some starters isn’t poo unless they are above average NFL starters. Justin Jefferson and Jamar Chase started their rookie years like Legette did so we got an elite WR in the 2024 draft. Luke was a rookie starter just like Wallace. Damn we basically got a Kuechly and Jefferson last year. Bravo Dan Morgan!!!

      I didn’t even say they would be starters. I don’t think Legette will be and Coker was not drafted. Coker chose to sign with us because our WR room gave him a chance to start even though we drafted a guy in the 1st. That should tell you something when Coker chose to come to Carolina even after we took Legette. We drafted and signed guys to potentially replace Sanders, who isn’t a starter yet over Tremble) and Wallace. Go look at our other drafts since Rhule. We had tons of rookie contribution from all of our recent classes. Why, because our overall talent sucked and we needed bodies. Go look at PFR. Here’s some of our players who “started” for a year: TMJ, Mingo, BC, Ian Thomas, Jermaine Carter, Dennis Daley, YGM and Roy. That’s what Legette and Wallace are right now although unless TMac bombs, Legette has kind of already lost his spot. We’ve had shitty drafts since 2018 and every single one has contributed at least two guys who’ve started so 2024 is tied for last right now and we just had a draft where we took 3 more players who play the same position as 3 of our top 4 picks in 2024 but somehow I’m saying that the 2024 draft class is good? Nope, the 2024 draft class was bad and our team is still in the low enough talent quadrant that lots of rookie contribute in our holes until we replace them. Been the same story since 2018 and accelerated as the old solid vets retired/move on.
