Sam Vs Baker Stats through first 4 games. Sam’s upside is much higher than Baker’s.

[panthersgreenville]

Sam- 10 total TDs, (7 passing, 3 rushing),

2 INTs

1193 passing yds,

68% completion,  

95 QB rating. 
 

Baker- 5 total TDs, (4 passing, 1 rushing),  

3 ints,

745 passing yds,

54% completion,

75.5 QB rating. 
 

And this is a pretty fair comparison because Baker’s first four teams are very similarly just as bad as Sam’s first four teams last year, hell, Sam even put up decent numbers against Dallas who is a playoff team. NONE of the four teams Baker has played are projects to make the playoffs. 
 

The bottom line is Sam’s upside is much higher and he had a waaaay worse O line than what he would have this year.

I mean the numbers are there… was it boring watching Sam dunk it off to McCaffrey every play… yes… but I’d go back to that (preferably getting Foreman involved as well) over what we are currently watching.

I'd rather watch Sam sling it to defenders than watch Baker anymore.  He's just miserable to watch.

It wasn’t just that, the offense just looked different eye test use, the first four games we simply looked like a confident and competent offense that knew exactly what to do. This offense now under baker is demoralizing 

[ClawOn]

I'm surprised to say it but Sam is objectively better.  Not saying much,  but still, let's see what he's got behind a decent o line 

[Jon Snow]

Sam's better looking.

Darnold was horrific after that little stretch. Legit worst offense in the league 

[frankw]

Ya'll have gone off the deep end. Both these guys suck let them go stink it up in another city. Anybody but these two.

[amcoolio]

Darnold was hot garbage. Do you not remember the Giants game last year

It’s apples and oranges. 

Baker has to date consistently been a better QB than Sam Darnold.  Sam isn’t the answer. Joe Brady just had a better base offense than Ben McAdoo.   And you cherry picked the opening of Sam when they were running him on key downs because he sucks and they did y trust him and scheming around the fact he sucked and couldn’t make throws.  But the NFL figures that stuff out.   So it was short lived. 

Sam will suck with McAdoo.  He will hand off to CMC up the gut.  And throw horrific picks and fumble.    Sam probably would be more accurate on quick one reads though if they were open.

I’m down to see Darnold start when he’s healthy. What do we have to lose?
