Legit, non knee jerk question.. is Baker even a capable backup at this point worth using a roster spot and 5th rounder on?

I'm not a big Mayfield fan, but to be fair I have to wonder how he'd look in an offense that wasn't designed and run by Ben McAdoo.

Well he can't throw the ball accurately, his passes are frequently tipped at the LOS, he locks on to his first read and he turtles up at the first sign of pressure - so I'd suggest he'd look much the same.

I posted something similar in another thread, but let me expand on it a little bit.  Removing the two TD's our defense has scored, the following quarterbacks lead offenses scoring more points than the Carolina Mayfields:

Jared Goff, Jalen Hurts, Jacoby Brissett, Trevor Lawrence, Marcus Mariota, Tua Tagovailoa / Teddy Bridgewater, Derek Carr, Geno Smith, Jameis Winston / Andy Dalton, Daniel Jones / Tyrod Taylor, Joe Flacco / Zack Wilson, Ryan Tannehill, Mitch Trubisky, Mac Jones / Brian Hoyer, Carson Wentz, Cooper Rush, Jimmy Garrapolo, Matt Stafford.

This isn't a list of the top 10 QB's.  These guys are "ok", but their offenses score more points.

The problem isn't our QB.  Mayfield has been poor, yes.  But he's good enough to win games for us if we set him up for success.  Somehow, our staff fail to make this most logical of connections.

It's not just Baker. To go from over 3500 yards a year to this is way more than just Baker.

Sam is still trash but even he is better than last year...not much but some.

Every QB brought in has played their worst under a Rhule coached team. Someone else already said it. Corral was probibly saved by IR from Rhule or he would be out there getting ruined soon.

I'll get pood, but I'd say he's alright, but the offense has to be tailored to him.  Basically, what they did in Cleveland, the high Play action and the roll outs that get him away from being behind the line and open up more passing lanes for him.  I don't think his ceiling is high, but that's what it'd take.  Fwiw, there's a lot of qbs who need systems that fit their skill set.  Cam wouldn't have thrived running timing based wco, and drew Brees would have died trying to run the Coryell offense with him often as a runner, so scheme is important.  I think macadoos lack of scheme shows a fundamental inability to adjust to personel.

Totally agree. It could be that MacAdoo built the playbook with Darnold’s skill set in mind and had to add some elements of things that Baker could run(RPO) afterwards to supplement. The offensive scheme does not seem to be a good match for what Baker does well.

Missing open receivers is missing connections. He's a grown man who sucks at his job and is rich. He doesn't need your protection, or apologies for his trash play.

Baker belongs on the bench.

So, you prefer Sam Darnold?  PJ Walker?

      it helps that Bryce and Tmac worked out a bit this off-season before the draft and are familiar with each other's game from way back.  Sure Bryce put in a good word for him to the coaching crew ahead of time That california connection goin' work, I hope

      My biggest problem is I think the players he likes don't really work in the modern NFL.  You mentioned the wr room being a lot better, is it?  It has the potential to be.   Last year when we traded up to get Legette, they said they traded up to take him specifically because he was a true X receiver.   Now this year they take TMac because they say he is and that XL was out of posisition last year.  Im not sold on Tmac yet just like I wasn't sold on XL last year.  If TMac isn't a lot better than last XL was last season then that's back to back first rounders in one position that would still need a huge amount of work.  Hopefully Tmac is what everyone seems to think he will be, I'm just not so sure, but them declaring XL was a true X receiver after the draft last year and what they're saying now should at least give you pause about their receivers evaluation because it means they definitely made a mistake one way or another.
