If (when) we lose to the saints, bet anything he is starting the following Sunday.

Even if he is he has no future here the front office could not have made that more clear. We have acquired three veteran quarterbacks in Teddy Sam and now Baker. If we strike out with Mayfield this staff is likely out and next year we will in all likelihood be looking heavily at drafting another one. We can't just keep throwing poo at the wall with these veteran leftovers hoping to find a diamond in the rough.

Lots of plays like this. I mentioned in GDT that a lot of McAdoo’s concept BS leaves Mayfield with nowhere to go with the ball

We could’ve draft Justin Herbert and we’d be wanting an upgrade at QB

Rhule needs to go.

Only McAdoo was willing to accept this job because no one else was dumb enough to take it

@top dawg where those open for years WRs at? I see LOTS of plays like this... WRs running simple routes straight to defenders and just sitting.

Since Rhule came here, he's had four first round draft pick QBs (two of them #1 draft picks, and another in the top 5) and two Heisman trophy winners at the position. All of them had multiple years of experience, three of them with playoff experience and one was a Super Bowl starting QB.

None of them could be effectively utilitzed, or even retrained/rehabbed as needed. 

Individually, outsiders have been pointing fingers at them and their performances. Internally, we know, without a doubt, that the blame is on the coaching staff, both for readiness and in game work.

You can go beyond the QB position and see the same song played on different instruments time and again across the entirety of all positional groups.

This tree is rotten at the roots. We need to salvage what fruit is still good on it and plow the rest of it under.

Wanting Sam to play again really makes me wonder if they watched any of his games last year. Poor guy was crying on the field. They just need to leave him on IR and let some idiot team try and play him next year. If Baker looks this bad in the new O then Sam is going to lose the game by the half.

Saw this tweet earlier.  Wasn't gonna make a thread on it, but this seems like an appropriate place to drop it.

Accuracy matters. Last two seasons Matt Corral was at 72% and 69% completions respectively.

(Not you MA)Don't give me the college vs NFL crap because that the one singular metric that says a QB is putting it into the hands of running men. 

So as a struggling coach with a fan base looking for hope, why would you put a 60% completion JAG of a QB in front of someone more mobile, more skilled, taller, faster, more accurate and more familiar with your playbook.

(Not you MA)And don't give me the "he's on IR stop talking about him" weak sauce either. Had that man been behind the second or first team line the chances of that particular injury decrease exponentially. 

While I believe that to be true Sam Darnold is also injured so that may speak to the talent/coaching of the offensive line unit as a whole.

Yanno, considering the coaching, I'd probably be crying over the helpless feeling the situation gave him. Honestly, the dude was brave walking back in for OTAs this year knowing there was a chance that he was going to get thrown to the wolves again.

Skills or not, Sam found himself under the tutelage of an even worse coach than he had before. One who likely was going to get him killed out there.

Every single qb under rhule has looked like garbage, trying to pick and choose which one is washed or not is asinine.

i just find it hilarious how cam was washed but we are seeing every qb struggle under rhule, doesn’t take a brain surgeon to notice he’s the common denominator.

i feel sorry for baker, cam, even darnold because there’s no telling how these guys would perform under better circumstances

    • Hornets shooting has definitely cooled off to end the season 
    • Would be cool if Melo and Kon tied for the season league lead in 3’s.  Either that or Kon straight-up.
    • I love the bottom feeding approach.  Not to say I was the only one, but I was screaming to draft Coker and then screaming to get him in here as an UDFA.  There were criticisms about him, etc.  As a Gamecock baby (Dad was a Tight End for them when I was born) I was against Legette.  I wanted the kid from Georgia.   All that to say this:  I am afraid of drafting a WR (I spent some time today researching) a few of the top names: 1. Jordan Tyson.  MCL, ACL, NHL---he has injured everything he could that ends in "L" and some things not related to his body.  He will drop, and everyone will start getting excited around 15.   NO! take him off the board. 2. KC Concepcion.  I want to like him, but is he not John Metchie III II?  I can't stand drops. To me, the most important characteristic for a receiver is hands.  I do not buy the "He can be taught."  I disagree to a degree.  Catching a football at a high level when you are being hit by someone behind you as you run full speed across the field is more about concentration and focus than anything else. You gotta trust your eyes, your instincts, and your QB.  Hard to teach someone not to fear something that hits you that you cannot see.  Dropping passes gets into your head--that makes you second guess yourself.  if it doesn't, it should.  Either way, it is a mental issue.   3. Omar Cooper.  I like him enough, but at 19? No.  He is a good YAC guy with solid hands.  However, he had a good WR across from him, the best QB in the country, a pretty easy schedule (He had his best games against FCS schools) and I wonder how much of the route tree he ran.  I am torn, not sold.  Of the three just mentioned, he has the worst skillset but I would like him the best as our Z. Who then, do I want, you ask? If it has to be WR, trade back.  If you can't, draft the slow guy who can't get a good release.  1.  Denzel Boston.   If it has to be a WR at 19, I think I would take Denzel Boston.  His biggest criticism is the release (and 40 speed) but he had great hands and runs good routes. as the Z, which is what we need, he would be perfect because he could motion toward the LOS and even when on the LOS, he is off the ball.  Lets do some bottom fishing in Coker Lake: Round 2: Ted Hurst.  He is a model Z WR for this offense.  Drops too many balls to my liking, but as a second rounder, I can tolerate that a bit more than a first rounder.  Round 5: Kendrick Law (UK):  This is the guy I am most comfortable drafting.  His average route at KY was under 4 yards.  He is great at running after the catch.  Stats? don't look at the game stats--look at the measurables. A 42-inch vertical, a 10-foot-8 broad jump, and a 9.60 Relative Athletic Score place him among the most explosive receivers in this class. That kind of lower-body power, paired with his balance through contact and proven ability to generate yards after the catch, gives him a real foundation to develop beyond what Kentucky asked of him. I think they were considering drafting a WR in the first round.  I get it, but as with the tackles in round 1, "Buyer Beware."  I have not given up on XL but I am very concerned that his mind is not right for the NFL.
