The thread obviously grabbed your attention enough for you to not only reply but also participate in the poll you clown  😂

Baker has been pretty disappointing and less than 50 yards in a half speaks for itself but he doesn't throw those absolutely backbreaking and morale destroying interceptions into triple and quadruple coverage from a clean pocket like you're favorite NFL player. You should probably take it easy calling others morons and clowns all the time considering your taste in NFL quarterbacks.

Baker has protected the ball. That’s an automatic start over darnold.

 

also, he led four scoring drives last week. Darnold did that total in his last 4 games. 

Depends on the way you look at it.  If you compare 2021 Darnold Weeks 1-3 vs. 2022 Baker Weeks 1-3, Darnold was better and it's not even close.  The problem is that Darnold fell off a cliff shortly after, presumably in part as teams adjusted to his tape.  We really can't afford for Baker to get any worse, we have to hope he inversely improves significantly as the season goes on where Darnold crumbled. 

I do think Baker has the mental fortitude to overcome early struggles and keep his poise, whereas Darnold just seemed to too often go into panic mode and snowball if things went wrong.

Darnold struggled because too much pressure was put on him once CMC went down to go along with a terrible oline. Losing CMC and Arnold at the same time  sabotaged the offense because Darnold had built so much rapport with them during training camp, then losing them at the same time, it was too much to handle. The Offensive Line also couldnt handle it. YOu literally had 3rd stringers playing Left Tackle.. Too much to overcome for a QB in a new system.

 

This Offensive Line is much better. I expect Sam to do very well in this offense.

I cant believe I agreed with an entire post of yours.... Fire. 

It must be Sam himself or maybe his mother.

He is clearly a troll account. Pay him no attention…

    • I need to actually do a full analysis but I think the issue was more that we'd rarely have top-to-bottom awesome drafts but we'd frequently have drafts where only 2-3 players panned out, but the 1st is a Pro Bowler and the other two solid starters or backups. We rarely had drafts where only 1 player was good, and we never had absolute useless drafts. At the very least we always had one really, really good guy. The worst was probably 2005 where we got Thomas Davis (Hall of Honor-quality player) and Geoff Hangartener. Evan Mathis was good, but only after he left.
    • Hurney wasn’t good with contracts but I think he was probably above average at drafting.  Not saying he was great.  Just that most draft classes are worthless.
    • Ehh, teams earlier this season double and tripled teamed him with decent success. The reason he beasted out so much with Miami was for some reason they did not much at all. Bad call on their part. But that is his purpose. If he is eating up people that is huge, and theoretically should give others the ability to make a play. But his surrounding cast to do that isn’t great. Brown is something OCs have to put a lot of time to plan for.
