PJ Walker!

Do not forget that Temple standout and XFL MVP Phillip Walker is our backup. He is 2-0 as an NFL starter and even though he is as short as Baker he can usually get passes off without having them smacked out of the air by opposing defenses. He is a little more mobile than Baker maybe and not named "Sam." Rhule did not commit to Baker as the starter following yesterday's loss. Should PJ get 1st team reps this week? 

I think its worth considering. It provides a very small chance at shaking things up and making things more exciting worth losing the compensation (draft pick) from the Baker Trade?

I am not sure it isn't worth considering. At least we can see if it the offense rather than Baker.  Backups like Geno Smith are doing a good job for Seattle and making a case to start. If PJ moves the offense then we know where the fault lies and can he be worse than Baker at this point??

Pete Carroll is a good HC and they don’t have a OC the league essentially banished 

Baker is a problem.  Not the primary problem.

I agree and said essentially the same thing in another thread.

What are we trying to accomplish?  For argument's sake lets just say PJ plays better than Baker.  Are we a contender?  I think quite clearly, NO.  So really, the best thing that could happen is the worst thing that could happen.  PJ leads us to a few wins we wouldn't have got otherwise.  Damaging our draft position, and GASP creating a possible bridge for Rhule to cross to another year.  No Thanks.  Accept this year is lost, stop looking for hope.

    • It will be really interesting to see how both sides handle this. I'm sure the team would love to get him signed to a 4 year deal based on his output so far and some potential factored in, i.e. something like a 4 year $30 million contract.  But I could see his agent telling him the best path is to take the one year offer, put up a big year next year and then really cash in. The team also has to keep in mind T-Mac's 2nd contract, which likely will happen after the 2027 season assuming he keeps improving as expected.  Even if we could get him on a budget 4 year deal for what he could become, the problem then becomes when he wants to re-negotiate in 2 years during the same summer we will extend T-Mac, and you don't want to spend that much on WRs in one offseason, just see the Bengals this last year. Taking everything into consideration, I'm thinking the 1 year deal and then getting him to sign a 4-5 year deal after hopefully say a 800ish yard season next year might be best for our cap situation and separate his and T-Mac's negotiation periods.
    • And yet jax made it no further than we did, and its very possible the Pats don't either. I think it speaks more to the overall down year for the nfl as far as having great/dominant teams, every team this year has fatal flaws that can be exploited 
    • Ehhh I agree the nfc is stronger this year but their really werent any truly dominant teams this year everyone is flawed, I think the narrative for the NFL this year will to try ahd force a Josh Allen SB win
