if you are short and not in the Drew Brees School of QB then you are doing it wrong.

 

Thats why Baker sucks. He know where near Brees and Brees didnt have no where near the arm strength Baker has.

 

Brees is the standard when it comes to short QB and pocket play. Mayfield sucks within the pocket and cant see over his linemen thus he has to leave the pocket for throwing lanes. Baker also has average mobility, so needing a short QB with average mobility who depends on throwing outside the pocket to find throwing lanes is a recipe for disaster.

I expect Baker to be benched sometime when Darnold returns

I've watched Baker a lot.  He's gone through some pretty amazing stretches of football, and then gone through some awful stretches.  His inconsistency probably has a lot to do with the myriad of different systems in his short career as well as suffering through what should have been season ending injuries last year.  My sense is that he looks like a promising (old) young QB who just hasn't taken it to that next level yet.  I think having passes batted down and comfort in the pocket is all part of that.  And I have no idea what kind of progress we'll get from him this season.  Ideally he would get 2 healthy seasons in the same system at some point in his career.  Carolina probably does not have the short term stability or patience to go through the growing pains and get to a 2nd season either.

Flutie was in fact not a baller

Dude has his own breakfast cereal.  He was, in fact, a baller.  At least for a couple seasons.

Hes got one of the craziest, most unique careers of all time.  College legend, wins the Heisman, plays in the NFL until hes 27.  Then he goes an becomes a Canadian Football League legend - when he left the CFL he was the all time career leader in passing yards (41,355) and TDs (270).  Then he returns to the NFL at the ripe old age of 36, has a couple successful seasons as the Bills starting QB, and manages to stick around the league until hes 43 years old.

      Thin sliced roast beef, provolone, and roasted bell peppers on a toasted sub roll.  At least one thing is going right today. I don't trust anyone who's never put Bugles on their fingertips to make witch fingers.

      But yeh,  Bryce is the only problem on this sorry excuse of a team. You could put Tom Brady on this team and we would still suck . Worst part is Tepper and his various band of clowns have been trying to build a competitive team for 7 freaking years and are no closer now than when it all started.

      Bryce Young Is a Symptom, Not the Disease

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      Regardless of the trade and where he was picked, Bryce actively created deception. He wore a hoodie to the combine and was 15 lbs heavier because he packed on water weight because he didnt weigh near 200 lbs. He didn't participate in drills in a wide open 4 way, really 3, QB bid. Then there was all this hype over the S2 test that he had been practicing that we've never heard about in the draft process since. Does anyone think it was an accident Stroud's score on the S2 was released? Stroud said forget the score, watch his tape. Wonder why. There was a whole bunch of shady poo going on surrounding Bryce pre draft, and I for one, find it all a little too convenient.  Just my opinion, but he was a used car salesman that used some armor all and a wash n wax and maybe a set of white walls then schmoozed his way at dinner with Dave and Nicole and sold them that he was a super savant.  There was a whole lot of BS swirling around the BY hype train and he was a full fledged participant. Frank didn't want Bryce, he wanted Stroud. A new head coach does not pick a QB he has to go design a brand new offense around unless that guy is a generationaltalent, which Bryce was most definitely not. He picks the guy that best fits what he does and that was Stroud. This was Dave and Nicole's pick and they fuged this team like they've done over and over again since they've been here. They fell for use car salesman Rhule, then used car salesman Bryce and company. And the fans got stuck with the 4 years of payments on a car less reliable than Al Bundy's Dodge.
