At this point, might as well.  (When he's healthy of course)

No. Baker has his down sides but Sam isn't really worth a backup QB spot at this point. Can't see the field and the beating he took last year is the kind that gives a QB a case of the Carrs. No thank you sir.

Darnold sucks, but at least he can physically see downfield without scrambling out of the pocket.  It doesn't matter.  We're screwed at QB.

Wait, so being shitty at snapping the ball doesn't ding a center's PFF rating?  Feels like that should be pretty high on the list of important things for a center to do well.

I have concluded the reason why it seems so hard to evaluate any position or player to a large extent is because 1. they are coached and schemed for college while playing in the NFL and 2. they are playing opposing players that are scheming AGAINST amateur hour college strategies, immediately putting them at a disadvantage, especially rookies.

Shockingly change the jerseys and it does feel like the same play.

 

Thing is Baker was supposed to make a couple plays to help get the panthers over the hump, hes not made enough..... idk if its him getting here late, not liking BBQ, or what...... just like Rhule needs to make a few decisions to improve the panthers chances...... that same deal goes for Baker....

Yikes. Watching CMC stand around and pass protect on 1st and 2nd down is crazy.

Sam historically plays his worst when he has time/protection   There is a half decade that backs that.

Another weekly reminder of why Ben McAdoo is a bad OC that the rest of the league cast aside 

[rmoneyg35]

Eflein almost tackled mayfield during one of his scrambles, lucky he didn’t but he slowed him down enough that he only got a few yards.

1st it was teddy B, then Sam and/or joe Brady, now McAdoo and Baker.........

It's matt rhule. That said this was predictable if you refuse to run the ball as Matt has done. Baker, Sam, and Teddy are all guys that cannot carry a team when asked to drop back or start from the gun and just sling it. Also, Joe Brady had a better script that this crap from ol man McAdoo.

 

The browns stat from playaction vs drop back should be telling. Give him a big time run game and weapons, and he's a manager. That was the browns issue and why they looked elsewhere and didn't want to hold on to him. They need someone to do more than ride everything off just the running game with their aspirations. Funny that it's teppers guy in Watson though.
